Introduction
We are pleased to present the current issue of the Management Sciences journal which is the quarterly publication of the Wroclaw University of Economics. Starting with this issue, we will present articles in English only. That, we believe will allow us to increase our readership and enrich scientific discussion.
According to the concept of the functioning of our magazine, the presented articles deal with both, theoretical aspects and model considerations based on literature studies, and the results of empirical research.
The subject matter of the presented issue includes, among others: • lean management,
• knowledge management, • project management
• and also practical aspects of management in such areas of business as utilities services and information security.
We hope that the presented publications will be an inspiration for your research or will help to improve management processes in practice. At the same time, on behalf of the editorial committee, I encourage Dear Readers to publish your own research work in our journal.
