ARIAS NUNEZ, María Fernanda. The Knowledge Society in Argentina. Perceptions of Academics, Businessmen and Government Officials. univ.humanist. [online]. 2013, n.76, pp.253-276. ISSN 0120-4807.

The knowledge society, as an engine of economic and social development, is present in the minds of academics, entrepreneurs and government officials. This implies that globally there is a need for the academy to contribute with the productive sector and for the State to support this integration. This paper tries to reveal the perceptions of members of the academy, the enterprises and the Argentinian State on the scope of this triangulation; which means the relationship between the three vertex: the scientific and technological system, the productive system and the governmental system to cooperate in conjunction. It also seeks to expose its position on the alleged commodification of knowledge and the state's role as an intermediary and provider of scientific policies.

Keywords : Knowledge Society; Perceptions; Business; Academy; State; Information society; Argentina; Economic and social development; State; Development policies.
