Design/methodology/approach: The above-mentioned activity stems from the noticeable revaluation in the business environment from the so-called ‘old economy’ to the ‘new economy’, oriented towards the use of knowledge and intellectual capital, as well as the need to communicate about it.
Findings/conclusions: The analysis of available publication materials indicates the leading role of Professor Elżbieta Skrzypek in the pro-quality oriented comprehensive development and popularization of the issues of knowledge and intellectual capital management in Poland.
