Knowledge-based economy (KBE) is an economy where knowledge is created, acquired, transmitted and used effectively by businesses, organizations, individuals and communities. The concept of KBE was emphasised in the EU programmes such as the Lisbon Strategy and the Europe 2020 Strategy. One of the three priorities of the Europe 2020 Strategy is to promote smart growth, understood as developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation. The aim of the paper is to analyze the development of KBE in European Union in period 2000-2014. The concept of KBE measurement is based on Knowledge Assessment Methodology and the soft modeling method.

This article discusses the claim of a new paradigm in the knowledge production and diffusion process, and the need to assess the regional and local implications of this modal shift. After introductory remarks included in the first part of the paper, its next section introduces the theme of localisation of knowledge as a source of regional development; section three examines the lessons we can extract from the US university system (with a particular regard to the case of Johns Hopkins University and the recent project for a biotech park in the city of Baltimore); in section four an illustration of the Italian University system leads to a description of the current evolution of the University of Bologna toward a new entrepreneurial role. The last part of the paper discusses the embedded role of universities in the light of the two cases presented in the previous sections and draws the conclusions in terms of regional policy.

The paper focuses on barriers to the development of a knowledge-based economy in Poland. The author analyzes views about the knowledge-based economy presented in professional literature. She examines the conditions for the development of the economy, considering changes in geographic factors and economic policy. Her analysis of the knowledge-based economy is based on a presentation of statistical data and reports. Lissowska also considers information on the European Union’s plans to enhance research and innovation across Europe. The analysis shows that the knowledge-based economy is insufficiently developed and differs unfavorably from the state prior to transition and from the average state displayed by other EU countries with a similar level of development. Industrial enterprises display insufficient initiative, with little involvement among foreign-owned companies to create innovation in their research centers in Poland. Small technology-oriented firms have made little effort despite their intellectual potential and possibilities. The main barriers to the development of the knowledge-based economy include the unfavorable legacy of the period prior to transition and imperfect industrial and innovation policies, along with an inadequate institutional and organizational environment. These imperfections may aggravate the vicious circle of uncertainty by adding to risk avoidance among suppliers of capital and an insufficient absorption of innovation, the author concludes. To tap the existing intellectual potential and make good use of the growing amount of funds (including EU structural funds and money for research and competitiveness promotion), it is necessary to focus on institutional and organizational tools likely to encourage potential investors and enable them to pursue knowledge-based projects.

The study sets out to identify barriers to the financing of innovation resulting from the country’s overall level of development and the structure of Poland’s financial system. The author recommends action to remedy the system’s inefficiency in the area of financing business innovations. The article describes the theoretical aspects of innovation financing and its characteristic features in Poland on the basis of an analysis of the size, structure and changes of the overall system. On the basis of her analysis, Pełka concludes that financial barriers to the spread of innovation can only be eliminated by developing a market for “instruments typical of a knowledge-based economy.” Domestic savings need to be mobilized for the development of innovative businesses with the involvement of the public sector. It is also necessary to create a system of tax incentives and specialized capital market institutions, Pełka says, and some projects must be co-financed from public funds. Poland’s financial system should evolve toward a model based on capital market institutions, with an increased share of private capital in the process of financing business innovation, Pełka concludes.

A characteristic feature of the knowledge economy in the twenty-first century is the growing importance of enterprise collaboration efforts meant to maintain and strengthen their competitive position. Enterprises can thus more easily achieve set goals and develop their market, financial, and manufacturing potential. Cooperation affects integration between suppliers, leading to the exchange of knowledge and improved management systems and processes. Cooperation plays a significant role in the functioning of the organisation and may significantly boost effectiveness. Rational cooperation both between and within companies can contribute to the actual use of their potential, which is reflected in their further development. An example worthy of attention is cooperation in joint projects, as it is these very projects that generate company progress and development. The purpose of this article is to examine the forms of cooperation in the framework of projects and identify the effects of cooperation and their limitations, as well as to identify the risks that may arise as a result of cooperation.

The paper attempts to determine statistical correlations between the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) and the measure of men and women’s equali-ty/inequality reflected in the Gender Equality Index. According to the authors’ hypothesis such correlations exist. The authors chose the methods of estimation of functional interdependencies between the selected data (KEI, GEI) for the states of the European Union. The analysis confirmed the occurrence of statistically significant positive correlations between the studied indicators, proving that the knowledge-based economy encouraged gender equality. The strongest correlations with the knowledge-based economy were found for such components of the Gender Equality Index as “Time”, “Work” and “Knowledge”, lesser ones for “Money” and “Health” and the smallest for “Power”.

The article presents a spatial analysis of the knowledge-based economy in Poland in regional terms in 2003 and 2011. Nowadays, knowledge is regarded as one of the factors of production besides land, labor and capital. The ability to create, collect and effectively use knowledge contributes to the generation of innovation, acquiring long-term competitive advantages and economic success. Polish provinces are the basic territorial units, on which the calculations have been carried out. The period of time was purposely chosen to determine the impact of Polish accession to the European Union and the possibility of using the Structural Funds in the development of local economies based on knowledge. The purpose of this article is to identify disparities in the use of knowledge in socio-economic life in the Polish provinces. The study was conducted using a taxonomic measure of development (one of the tools of multidimensional comparative analysis). Classification of provinces was constructed on the basis of KEI (Knowledge Economy Index) and KI (Knowledge Index) which are used by the World Bank in Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM). The division into four pillars (i.e. The Economic Incentive and Institutional Regime, The Innovation System, Education and Human Resources, Information and Communication Technology) attempts to explain the relationship between the factors of development.

Knowledge-based economy (KBE) has been recently the subject of many analyses and academic research. Methods of its assessment have been worked out by a few international institutions such as the World Bank. Their experts has estimated knowledge index for 128 countries in knowledge assessment methodology (KAM 2005), by normalizing each variables. The author of the article used KAM to calculate knowledge index for Polish provinces, through making modification from macro level to mezo level. All variables are divided into five pillars: variables of economic regime, governance, innovation systems, education, and 1CT (information and communication technology). All provinces received own knowledge index, that is the arithmetic average of normalized variables. Mazovia province achieved the highest result (7.07) of knowledge index but Podlasie province the lowest (3.65), according to calculation based on KAM from the World Bank.

Gospodarka oparta na wiedzy (GOW) jest od kilku lat tematem wielu analiz i badań naukowych. Próby jej pomiaru i diagnozy w ujęciu skali makro dokonało kilka międzynarodowych instytucji, w tym zespół z Banku Światowego. W swej metodologii knowledge assessment methodology (KAM) eksperci z Banku Światowego jako wynik analiz dla każdego ze 128 krajów podają wskaźnik wiedzy, który jest obliczony na podstawie znormalizowanych wcześniej zmiennych. Na podstawie zaktualizowanej metody pomiaru wiedzy KAM 2005 autor artykułu przeprowadził analizę gospodarki opartej na wiedzy dla województw Polski. Po zmodyfikowaniu zmiennych dla poziomu skali mezo ujęto je w następujące filary GOW: infrastruktura instytucjonalna, polityka regulacyjna, edukacja, infrastruktura teleinformacyjna i innowacyjność. Dla każdego województwa dokonano obliczenia wskaźnika wiedzy, będącego średnią poszczególnych zmiennych, uprzednio poddanych normalizacji. Bazując na metodzie KAM z Banku Światowego, najwyższa wartość indeksu wiedzy wyniosła w województwie mazowieckim (7.07), a najniższa w podlaskim (3.65).

Higher education is of the foremost impact on the personality as the carrier of the knowledge-based capital. That is why the creation of knowledge-based capital is possible through the investment in higher education, the results of which are scientific investigations and innovations, which in total are in the heart of knowledge economy and the promoter of long term growth of the country. This thesis is confirmed by the expenditures for higher education, the most developed countries of the world spend a lot of financial resources for higher education and their expenditure for education can be treated as the strategic investments in nation economy of their country. It shows the relationship between the cost of education and the size of their GDP. Also the actual problems of financial support of higher education in Ukraine are examined, which hinder the development of education and the economy at all. There are recommendations for solving financial problems of higher education in Ukraine.

Wyższe wykształcenie ma ogromny wpływ na osobowość jako nośnik kapitału opartego na wiedzy (knowledge-based capital). Tworzenie kapitału opartego na wiedzy jest możliwe poprzez inwestycje w szkolnictwo wyższe, czego skutkiem są badania naukowe i innowacje, które znajdują się w samym sercu gospodarki opartej na wiedzy i są motorem długofalowego wzrostu gospodarczego kraju. Dla potwierdzenia tej tezy w artykule przedstawiono wydatki na oświatę i szkolnictwo wyższe w najbardziej rozwiniętych państwach świata, przedstawiono związek wzajemny między nakładami na edukację i wielkością PKB tych państw. W artykule omówiono również aktualne problemy finansowania szkolnictwa wyższego Ukrainy, które w konsekwencji powstrzymują rozwój zarówno edukacji, jak i gospodarki w całości. We wnioskach przedstawiono zalecenia dotyczące finansowych aspektów szkolnictwa wyższego na Ukrainie.

Contemporary corporate reporting is still focused on financial capital. Intellectual capital is ignored by conventional accounting. Scientific revolution should be expected in this area. It is not possible to avoid it, especially since other social sciences - sociology, economics and management - have already resolved this issue and the phenomenon of emergence of the knowledge-based economy cannot be denied. Accounting is powerful tool for social impact. Its paradigm determines social imagination of economic processes, and it should be based on the axiological principle of true and fair view. The aim of this paper is to present a clear fact: accounting paradigm focused on financial capital inhibits the development of a knowledge-based economy and post-industrial society. The article contains the proof: the traditional balance sheets focused on tradable assets and financial capital is not suitable for providing a true and fair view of the knowledge-based enterprises. The analysis is an invitation to take a broad and interdisciplinary research on the role of financial accounting in the modern society. Accounting should not be shaped exclusively by accountants corporations. Every contemporary economist, sociologist, philosopher, logician, mathematician, and even a lawyer and ethicist, who feels partly responsible for the future of the economy and society, has a duty to be interested in accounting theory and the shape of the financial statements.

The paper looks at mutual relations between the government, scientists and industry in a knowledge-based economy. The author describes individual stages of what is referred to as the “triple loop” model showing the course of changes in this relationship. Each participant in the process derives tangible benefits from this interaction, according to Marszałek. A significant role is played by universities whose goal is to work out mechanisms to stimulate economic growth. The use of the “triple loop” model to show changes in a knowledge-based economy required an extensive analysis of English- and German-language research reports on the subject, Marszałek says. Based on this, the author examined the ties between key players in the innovation process. The author concludes that the changes taking place in a knowledge-based economy require flexibility from key market players. Thanks to building partner-like ties between science and business, universities take an active part in the process of transferring knowledge and technology to industry. Relations developed with the state administration enable universities to better promote research and development in society. Finding out about these complicated mechanisms makes it possible to develop scenarios for promoting academic centers, Marszałek says, because these institutions contribute to an increased competitiveness of the economy through innovation and fostering a congenial economic and political environment.

Research background: Information infrastructure is a very important pillar within a knowledge-based economy. The widespread use of information and communication technologies facilitates effective communication, dissemination and processing of information and knowledge. It also creates new opportunities for the effective use of knowledge and information in building competitive advantage. Information infrastructure is also a significant determinant in the development of territorial units, and therefore it affects the regional dimension of building the knowledge-based economy in Poland. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study was to evaluate regional differentiation of the level of information infrastructure in Poland, and changes which occurred in this respect between 2010 and 2015. An attempt was made to provide an answer to the following question: Are regional differences in the level of information infrastructure in Poland increasing or decreasing, i.e. is a regional divergence or a regional convergence process taking place in this respect? Methods: Taxonomic methods were used, including linear ordering based on a synthetic variable and a method of grouping linearly-ordered objects. Findings & Value added: The regional differentiation of the level of information infra-structure in Poland has slightly decreased, which means, that a slow convergence process has taken place in this respect. This fact is confirmed by the value of the variation coefficient, which fell from a level of 17.6% in 2010 to a level of 14.4% in 2015. Convergence processes were observed in twelve provinces. In the case of seven of them, they had the nature of a catching-up effect, and in the case of the remaining five - a lagging-behind effect. Divergence processes were observed in four provinces. The Dolnośląskie and Mazowieckie Provinces distanced themselves from other areas of the country. In the Małopolskie and Opolskie Provinces a marginalisation effect was observed.

The innovation capacity of Polish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) implies their development in the knowledge-based economy. While having been the object of numerous studies, the link between used information technology and innovation capacity in SMEs still requires understanding. The article seeks to define a model for the assessment of the impact of used information technology on the growth of the innovation capacity of Polish SMEs in four perspectives: organizational, process, product, and marketing. This model is tested empirically with survey data from 300 Polish SMEs. The results confirm that innovation capacity is not mediated by the used information technology.

The article discusses the issue of spatial distribution and diversity of educational potential of Higher Education (HE) urban centres described by the number of students and HE institutions as well as their structure in terms of types in the regions of France in 1998‒2008. According to the research results it appears that the actions undertaken in order to level the socio-economic development of the regions of France, i.e. increasing the quality of human capital, resulted in an even distribution of HE centres, their high educational potential and lack of regional specificity in terms of the structure of the educational offer.
