Dear Reader,
We present you with the 31st edition of the ”Journal of Management and Financial Sciences” from the Warsaw School of Economics. It is a collection of publications on current issues in the area of management sciences. The authors of the publications are mainly experienced scientists from leading academic centres in the country dealing with management issues. The articles in the current issue contain both theoretical considerations and the results of empirical research showing the importance of management sciences in the modern economy.
The main purpose of the first article by Bogdan Nogalski, Przemysław Niewiadomski and Agnieszka Szpitter is an attempt to answer the question: is the scope and type of business models composed by manufacturers a derivative of the creativity level assimilated by them?
According to the intention of the authors, the work is supposed to cast light on a wider perspective of generating valuable ideas and concepts in the context of the composition of business models.
The next paper by Anna Łaszkiewicz discusses the phenomenon of co-creation of products and services with consumers, possible forms of using intellectual capital of consumers in companies and the awareness of these trends among Polish managers based on the research carried out by the author.
The objective of the study by Celina Sołek – Borowska is, firstly, to find out what is understood by creativity of the team in terms of a process and outcome and secondly, to place the knowledge sharing process within the field of team creativity. A literature review was used to gather evidence about the key concepts in the fields of management, organization and creativity.
