Therefore, at the joint of centuries, we should first be engaged in uniting the economic strategists and business plan masters worldwide.

The sponsors of WBSA considered that knowledge economy should be the continuously developing economy that promotes the coordination of human being and nature. The leading thoughts of the traditional industrial and technical inventions were all solely utilizing natural resources as many as possible to get the maximum of profit, without or seldom considering the environmental ecological and social profits. As a result, today people have to face the facts that many kinds of natural resources are nearly exhausted and the environmental crisis is intensified day by day. Therefore, our economic strategists standing in the front of the world economy development will be engaged in setting up a business ecological system that is continuously developing and promotes the coordination of human being and nature.

The traditional industrial economy needed great amount of funds and equipment. The tangible assets played a decisive part. While in knowledge economy, the decisive factor is knowledge, intelligence and the investment of intangible assets. Therefore, our economic strategists and business plan masters should be engaged in merging their knowledge and intelligence into the ecological system and realizing the personal and group value when they are studying new economic strategies and planning new business projects.
