Abstract
Signifcance of knowledge is realized and appreciated in the life of every competitive economy. But a question must be put. What is the right and required knowledge enterprises need? How can employees acquire this knowledge and how our educational system can keep steps with these continuously changeable economical demands to serve these requirements? In an empirical survey we have tried to fnd the answer to the following question: How can the higher education and labour market interpret knowledge? What does knowledge mean to enterprises? What kind of competencies are needed to a successful economy? Do the young employees with a new degree have these competencies? Can higher education provide students with competencies which are required by the labour market? Does higher education take notice of these demands in their courses? This survey researched requirements and assumptions from three sides. The questioned people were students and teachers from higher education, managers of enterprises. In this paper information is given about a part of the results with the help of two verifed hypotheses.
