Zarządzanie wiedzą w przedsiębiorstwach polskich w świetle teorii i badań empirycznych

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the most important aspects of proper knowledge management in Polish enterprises now and in the up-coming years. All conditions for knowledge creation and the factors influencing innovativeness are reviewed both from theoretical and empirical points of view in order to meet this aim. External as well as internal „hard” and „soft” factors are described in detail in particular. Fields and domains of innovations in Polish enterprises are compared with respective topics in Polish firms with prevailing foreign capital and foreign companies as the next step. Similar comparisons are made both for scope of knowledge management and awareness of necessity of such management. Directions of the most important changes in all of these fields that are necessary in Polish enterprises are suggested as well. Lastly there are considerations of necessity and methods of respective adjustments in Polish firms. They include capital groups (holdings) and other companies operating on foreign/international markets to a rapidly changing external environment, especially to changing needs and preferences of customers.
