The aim of the modern enterprise is an increase in the broader values. An important component and also factor in the company's value is its intellectual capital. One of the most important problems of theory and practice in this area is the measurement and reporting of intellectual capital of the company. There are two kind of approaches, namely the approach of intellectual capital valuation based on market value of the company and approach to valuation of various components of intellectual capital. This article addresses the methodological problems of estimating the value of intellectual capital in the first of these approaches. The Authors have indicated that the previous methodology for valuation of intellectual capital, in particular, in the formula based on the difference of the market value of companies and its book value has an important methodological flaw. Therefore the Authors proposed two slightly different formulas for estimating the value of intellectual capital.

Literature reports that the national security state is less and less influenced by purely military factors. This increases the role of economic factors, such as the state of the national economy, the quality of international alliances and broadly understood infrastructure level, operations of a number government administration bodies, local authorities, social organizations, as well as individual citizens. The purpose of this article is to introduce the national security issues in terms of the hard and soft its elements. The article consists of three parts. The first section explains the essence of national security in terms of the distribution of the hard and soft elements. The second part presents its own security model based on the eight elements (8-E). The third part describes the organizational changes, which may include hard and soft elements of BN. According to the assumptions of the model for the effectiveness of the changes it is necessary to adapt each of the system components. The method adopted is to analyze the research literature and its own national security organizational model.

This paper is the second in the series of three papers devoted to the estimated value of intellectual capital belonging to any socioeconomic area: province, municipality, country, region etc. An idea of the estimated value is based on the assumption that the value of a given socioeconomic area for its residents is determined by income generated due to the presence of a business activity in a given area. The structure of the presented method allows for covering all components of intellectual capital within estimated value regardless whether their existence is realized or not. The paper presents the valuation method of intellectual capital to be found in a given socioeconomic area for the purpose of using this method in the third part of the series in which estimates will be conducted for each individual voivodeship (province) in Poland.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the importance of intangible assets of Polish companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange included in the WIG-30 index. Using publicly available data (financial statements), 30 stock listed entities were studied for the years 2010–2014 in terms of: share of intangible assets in total assets (total and by industry), direction and dynamics of changes in their value, and types of intangible assets most frequently disclosed in the reports. Tools of descriptive statistics were used in the analysis. During the analyzed period both intangible assets and tangible assets showed a positive growth dynamics, whereas the growth of tangibles value showed greater dynamics. The reported share of intangibles in total assets was relatively small, ranging from 6.3% in 2010 to 9.0% in 2014. The value of intangible assets is strongly dependent upon the industry. The intangibles most often disclosed in the financial statements were: goodwill, royalties, patents, trademarks and costs of research respectively.

This work is the first out of the series of three papers devoted to the estimation of value of intellectual capital of a given socio-economic area: voivodeship, municipality, country, region, etc. The concept of this estimation is based on the assumption that value of any socio-economic region, for its residents, is the amount of income that can be gained by locating their activities in the area they live. The layout of the presented method makes it possible to estimate all elements of intellectual capital, regardless of whether or not we are aware of their existence. In this paper, for the sake of estimation, definitional problems of the concept of intellectual capital are solved and the method which can estimate area value for its residents is proposed in order to derive a method for estimating intellectual capital of a given area as well as of each and every voivodship in Poland.

Nowadays, when big importance is put on achieving constant competitive advantage and to growth of value of enterprise, quality and level of its non-material assets became significant. Key ingredient of those assets is human factor, so intellectual capital. This article tries to define in friendly and practical way measurable parameters of this capital (basic amounts, indicator of human, socio and organizational capital), methods of measurement of those parameters and also some ways to improve its value in an enterprise or another type of organization. Majority of research prove that improving different HR practices in an enterprise has a positive connection and favourable correlation with a growth of values of this organization. However, this them, because of big range of material, was left to separate consideration.

Competencies of employees and competence management are elements fairly well described in the literature. A modern approach to these issues, however, must have a broader than traditional character. This follows the significant changes that took place in management sciences expressed by an increased role of intangible assets. Intellectual capital, its components, connections with enterprise resources and elements of the environment are an important aspects of the strategic considerations undertaken by management staff in modern enterprises. Competences - which are specific expression of the potential of employees, their ability to detect changes and finding solutions - in this new context become even more important. This study attempts to analyze the selected relationships between the competency management system, intellectual capital and the attitude to IC of management staff.

This study investigates the relationship of the intellectual capital of a company (proxied by its intangible assets), with leverage and equity and capital structure. Our empirical results indicate that there is a negative relation between the intellectual capital (intangible assets) of a company and its leverage based on the Warsaw Stock Exchange main market and NewConnect alternative market. Moreover, the equity capital is found positively related to the level of intangibles in each of the two markets. These results support the thesis that intellectual capital (intangible assets) influences the capital structure of a company.

Theoretical background: Intellectual capital is perceived as a global economy driving factor. Many researchers highlight that it is an ingredient improving the functional gear of almost any organisation. Some voices have simultaneously appeared in scientific discussions claiming that the concept of intellectual capital management may not be fully applicable, either in conditions of economic downturn or during turbulent changes. A whole spectrum of external factors then come to the floor, affecting the situation of a company, while the periods of economic perturbations discourage investments in human resources and hamper HR initiatives. Therefore, in these changing economic conditions, a question arises about the rationale for and the directions of the development on the research on intellectual capital, and the concept itself undergoes a practical verification of suitability and usefulness. This is a particularly interesting field of research because the transformations, which take place in the environment of enterprises, create specific expectations, which should be met within the framework of ongoing research projects on the intellectual capital.Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to identify the dominant topical trends and networks of research directions in the subject of intellectual capital and their changes over time. The study attempts to illustrate these changes.Research methods: Having employed the text mining method, nearly 5,000 scientific articles on intellectual capital were analysed. Consequently, this extensive literature review enabled mapping of the network of links among the research directions in this area.Main findings: The results of the study have provided a fairly deep insight into the trends in the research on intellectual capital over the years. The results also reflect the vastness of the subject and the scope of the issues addressed over the past and present years. The interest in the concept of intellectual capital management continues and the dynamics of changes in the environment of the modern enterprise is not at all insignificant. The clusters, identified in the research on intellectual capital, have been opening new theoretical, pragmatic and methodological horizons. The analysis, carried out within the study network, confirmed the multifaceted nature of the network of research directions in the area of intellectual capital. In addition, the new research trends, which have been emerging in this area, clearly respond both to the dynamic changes in the business environment and to the doubts about the scale of activities, undertaken with regard to the intellectual capital management. Thus, in this situation, the periods of crisis and instability appear on one hand as a serious threat to the issue of intellectual capital management, while on the other, they can be perceived as an opportunity to renew the existing management concepts.

Research background: Intellectual capital and its elements, such as reputation, customer relationships, staff competence, are an essential part of a company's value. However, the issues regarding its recording in company's accounting books have not been solved. Proper disclosure of an intellectual capital in financial re-ports will increase the transparency of company-related information, thus improving the quality of reporting. Purpose of the article: The paper aims to investigate the opportunities of intellectual capital disclosure in company's financial reports from the viewpoint of accounting experts. Methods: Financial and accounting managers, board members of accounting services, companies and auditors were surveyed, using the authors' developed questionnaire. The statements regarding the awareness of the intellectual capital and its disclosure-related questions, as well as a respondent profile section were offered to respondents for evaluation. Data was processed in SPSS, applying the method of frequency analysis and categorical Principal Component Analysis (CATPCA). Findings & Value added: The research results indicate the problem of inconsistency between understanding of intellectual capital and its elements in management theory and accounting practice. The existing accounting standards and regulations do not allow for making a full disclosure of all companies' assets. Thus, a reliable information about company's value is not available for shareholders, executives and other stakeholders. The authors suggest using a non-financial reporting practice to reflect the real situation in all companies, irrespective to their status within the meaning of the European Directive on non-financial information disclosure. Current research results will be used for future research and elaboration of recommendations to companies for better disclosure of their assets. Besides, there is a potential for future studies regarding non-financial reporting practice and disclosure of intellectual capital in neighboring countries.
