Abstract:
The object of this paper is to present the latest findings relating to the
Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM), with particular regard to
Poland, which the author has compared to other countries in Europe and
Central Asia (taken as one grouping of countries according to region). The
four main pillars of this tool for elementary analysis in the area are, eg. the
economic and institutional regime, education, innovation and ICT. The article
begins by presenting evidence of an emerging knowledge-based economy,
its importance and issues concerning its definition. Subsequently the author
discussed the key elements of KAM in order to present the results of the so-
called, Basic Scorecard and KEI and KI indexes.
