Knowledge economy is becoming the most important factor conditioning the economy evolution of developing countries, and the industries susceptible to information as well as the evolution of information technologies are an essential condition in country's advancement, prosperity and wellbeing. In order to implement these priorities purposeful governmental effort and political willpower are needed. The topic I have chosen for my MA paper is a topical one, because the future of European Union is associated with the creation of the knowledge based society and knowledge based economy. The object of the MA work is Lisbon's strategy in knowledge economy. The main purpose of the work is to find out if Lisbon's knowledge occupation encouragement, enterprise and education goals are suitable to the conditions of knowledge economy. To implement the goal of the MA work the following main tasks were proposed: 1. To reveal the peculiarities of strategic management in knowledge economy. 2. To discuss Lisbon's strategy, its structure, the goals and the segments of occupation, enterprise and education in knowledge economy aspects. 3. To analyze the chosen Lisbon's strategy segments on the level of purposes and goals and to make a conclusion if these purposes and goals correspond to knowledge economy's strategic characteristics. Trying to achieve the goals and purposes of this work I had to follow these MA work's methods: the quantitative scientific publications' analysis, the comparative method, and the model of industrial and knowledge economy. Having analyzed the purposes of enterprise and education according to the model of industrial and knowledge economy in Lisbon's strategy, we can make a conclusion that only a part of goals fully meet the knowledge economy's strategic criteria. Since the majority of goals meet the industrial economy's criteria, we can make a conclusion that we are still living in the industrial era where labor force, material resources and the financial capital remain to be the most important, whereas in the knowledge economy the most important are knowledge and intellectual capital, innovations, innovative products, ideas, and capability to realize them.

The theme of the master thesis is topical for the whole Europe and Lithuania as well. The future of the European Union is related to the establishement of the society and economy based on knowledge. Therefore, it means that the major problems which require strategic decisions are the problems of the establishment of the knowledge based society and economy, the problems which are particularly important to Lithuania. Object of the master thesis – the National Lisbon Strategy, its goals of employment, science and education policy as well as the criteria of knowledge economy strategy. Purpose of the thesis – to analyse if the Lisbon Strategy goals of employment stimulation and the goals established by science and education policy correspond with the criteria of economy strategy. The following goals have been established to fulfil the purpose of the master thesis: to highlight the differences between knowledge economy and industrial economy; to explain the importance of strategic management to knowledge economy; to present the causes for the origin of the Lisbon Strategy and its implementation prospect; to present the causes for the origin of the revised Lisbon Strategy; to describe the prospect of the Lisbon Strategy implementation in Lithuania; to analyse the achievement of the employment, science and education policy goals of the Lisbon Strategy in the aspect of knowledge economy. The following common analytical and special methods of research have been employed while writing the master thesis: the model of industrial and knowledge economy; empirical study; document and source study; comparative study and tipological grouping. After having analysed the goals established by the policy of employment, science and education, a conclusion can be drawn that the established goals only partly correspond with the criteria of economy strategy. The closest correspondence can be observed between the goals of the science and education policy and the criteria of economy strategy. It has been observed that some of the goals are duplicated, objects from other fields of work are included, there is a lack of clarity and specification. In order to fulfil the goals of the Lisbon Strategy implementation, there is necessity to make these goals more explicit. The goals provided in the Strategy are often of a different complexion, include actions, their results and desirable outcomes. The establishment of the goals should be like a good plan which could enable to reach the goals of the National Lisbon Strategy; however, at the moment it is rather a collection of well-turned phrases than a weighty document.

The Master's Work in Public Administration ″Evaluation of the Employment Policy Progress achieved while implementing the National Lisbon Strategy Implementation Programme″ is a point at issue because it presents the newly created model of indicators enabling to carry out the evaluation of the progress achieved while seeking goals and targets of the national employment policy at the national level. The Master's Work is important due to its application nature as monitoring, analysis and evaluation are the core elements of the coordination of the Member States policies. The topic of the research is the employment policy evaluation. The purpose of the research is on the basis of the statements of the renewed Lisbon strategy and methodological and analytical papers of the European Commission to design the model of relevant statistical indicators which could allow to evaluate the progress of the national employment policy. The abstract research method used in the theoretical chapter of the Paper allowed to make an analysis of the research literature and to identify the place of the employment policy within the state administration system, the interaction of different factors and forces having impact to employment. The second part of the Paper based on the outputs of systematic comparative and logic analysis is dedicated to the evolution of the European Employment Strategy, methods of coordination of the employment policies implemented by Member States as well as the number of instruments used by the European Commission for evaluation of progress achieved in this political field. In the third part of the Paper, the author proposes the model of indicators that could be used for the evaluation of the progress of employment policy, exploits it for the assessment of outputs achieved while implementing employment goals and objectives set in the National Lisbon Strategy Implementation programme of the period 2005–2008 and clarifies the main employment trends, casual relations of ingredients and factors determining changes on the labour market. The topic of the research is closely linked to the professional activity of the author of the Study. During the last three years she represents Lithuania in the Employment Committee and its Indicator group, deals with employment policy design and evaluation.

Of late years, changes in the social-economic situation in Lithuania are fast, however, according to separate macroeconomic indices Lithuania is still significantly behind the average of the EU countries. To decrease these discrepancies, the EU grants a structural support the use of which is anticipated to establish a strong and competitive economy, to train qualified labour force and stimulate social and economic cohesion. The efficient and expedient use of the EU support would enable Lithuania to implement the national Lisbon strategy programme and contribute to the implementation of the Lisbon strategy guidelines. However, investigations showed that the use of the support is not efficient enough to secure the due progress of the country. The article analyses the aspects of the EU regional policy financing and the expected results of implementing the Lisbon strategy actions; it analyses the economic, social, environmental, and other indices of the economies of Lithuania and the EU countries and assesses the result of the country's progress in implementing the Lisbon strategy. A research of the expedience of using the EU structural support and its impact on the country's progress was carried out. The research has shown that about two thirds of the measures correspond to the national programme for implementing the Lisbon strategy, but only few indicators have a complex influence on the progress indices. Therefore, while preparing the programmes of the EU support use for 2007-2013 and coordinating them with the EU Commission, a better harmonization of this support use measures with the national programme for implementing the Lisbon strategy is necessary, and the measures should implemented in a complex manner, as well as the horizontal compatibility of the measures should be maintained.
