Intellectual capital is, in general, considered to be a component of a company’s market value, which is not always reflected in its financial statements. The authors analyzed 21 of the most common methods of measuring a company’s intellectual capital. Detailed analysis of these...

The applicability of a fuzzy approach to a problem originating from administrative accounting, namely to determine an economic order quantity (EOQ) in a variable competitive environment with imprecise and vague data, is presented. For this purpose, the model of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers developed by...

The tradeoff between production and safety investment is scrutinized for two agents who convert resources into production and safety investment while simultaneously exchanging goods voluntarily. We quantify how two Cobb-Douglas parameters, one scaling production versus safety, and the other...

We consider education as a number of multistage creative processes and analyse one of them - teaching knowledge (Process P1) - in detail. We describe the idea of a Virtual Production Line (VPL) in the sense introduced by Walukiewicz in 2006 as an extension of Henry Ford’s Classical...

The problem of finding an appropriate transportation plan for a transport company collaborating with a window manufacturer to reduce transport costs by minimizing the total distance travelled and provide a minimum car fleet is presented in this paper. The problem involves 3 major manufacturing...

Distributed lag models are an important tool in modeling dynamic systems in economics. In the analysis of composite forms of such models, the component models are ordered in parallel (with the same independent variable) and/or in series (where the independent variable is also the dependent...

In this paper an iterative multicriteria closed-auction conducted with the use of a multi-agent computer-based system is analyzed. This system supports the submission of offers, multicriteria analysis carried out by the organizer of the auction, simulation, and analysis of the behavior of...

The analysis presented in this paper is focused on the basic properties of discrete distributed lag models. Such models are commonly used to model dynamic systems in different applications. In the presented considerations, time-varying distributed lags are analyzed. The composite distributed lag...

This paper describes a method for the allocation of CO2 emission reduction technologies to sources of emissions, based on dynamic programming. The purpose of the application of the method is to develop an efficient strategy of allocating financial means for reducing CO2 emissions from a set of...

The liberalization and deregulation of the energy industry in the past decades have been significantly affected by changes in the strategies of energy firms. The traditionally used approach of cost minimization was no longer sufficient, risk and market behavior could no longer be ignored and the...
