Excellence and the related notions, such as competence, expertise and expert performance, elude precise definition. Historically, these notions have been approached in different ways by scholars developing their theories in a number of disciplines. These theories are discussed in the article with special reference to determinants of excellence in business and in light of the anthropocentric theory of human languages. The author’s main hypothesis is that all these three notions refer to the inherent, non-transferable properties of human beings and not to organizations. Referring to the dominant theory of deliberate practice as a key factor contributing to expertise, the author discusses other scholars’ counter arguments and formulates, in addition, his own reservations based on the specificity of business practice. These reservations relate to the diversity of the business field and to certain impact factors inextricably linked with business activity that distinguish this domain from many others.

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the most important approaches to the concepts of metacognition, metaknowledge and metacompetence. A growing body of research on these concepts highlights the significance and benefits of acquiring metacognitive knowledge and competence, especially in education and learning. Though scholarly opinion is still divided as to their exact functions and definitions, it is generally acknowledged that these multifaceted concepts are closely connected with higher order skills that result in a form of executive control involving self-monitoring, self-assessment and self-regulation. These skills are now extremely important in view of the fact that, according to some reports, education has failed to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. The author also presents his approach to the construct of (meta)knowledge and (meta)competence, focussing on the role of language as the main contributing factor in the process of knowledge acquisition. Finally, the author discusses various aspects of competence demands within the community of scholars.
