Social Capital and Educational Needs of Adults in the Period of Changing Work and Marketing

Abstract

The learning organisation is one of the products of globalisation. Knowledge, learning and education are intertwined with global capitalism. Education is regarded as a servant, which enables companies to function more effectively. Learning is seen as an investment in human and social capital. The result is employability and contribution to the economy. However, learning is also a human process resulting in the development of people as human beings, not only human capital.
