Recent years have witnessed massive changes in social, economic and political environments. Market globalization, technological innovation, and general changes in social structures have led to the establishment of a highly interconnected, interdependent knowledge society. This has prompted a need to study and gain a real-time understanding of the complexities of challenges facing society.The rise of real-time communication has linked formerly unconnected people and cultures. Technology has reconfigured patterns of social interdependence in every aspect of daily life, including the way in which people think and learn. Knowledge has spread and has become ubiquitous in hitherto isolated environments. This means that, nowadays, knowledge may be applied in new contexts through new agents.The above developments have created a need for a new professional profile. Professionals in the 21 st century require new knowledge, skills and attitudes to grasp the global dimension and interconnected nature of today's society. They must harness new technologies to benefit from personal and interactive learning environments, and they must create strategic alliances and entities, foster multiculturalism, and promote creativity and critical thinking. Furthermore, professionals in the 21 st century must be capable of seeking new models of value creation to create sustainable wealth without depleting resources and endangering prosperity for future generations.
