This paper aims at placing B&H in the context of the four elementary principles of the knowledge based economy, as follows: Educated and Skilled Labour Force, an Adequate Information Structure, a Conductive Economic and Institutional Regime and Human Resources. In addition, the paper considers the possibility of producing, transmissing and transfering knowledge in the current social circumstances in B&H, providing an overview of the existing strategies for knowledge application and development in B&H. To fulfill the mentioned goal authors have used Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM) which was developed by the World Bank Institute.
