Współczesne organizacje mierzą się z koniecznością dostosowania swoich struktur i zachodzących w nich procesów do wymogów zmieniającego się rynku. Zarządzanie procesowe w organizacji jest od wielu lat wskazywane jako szczególnie istotna koncepcja zarządzania. Współcześnie, zarówno w literaturze przedmiotu, jak i w praktyce gospodarczej, coraz silniej akcentuje się znaczenie wiedzy i wykorzystania jej w doskonaleniu procesów. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie stanu obecnego w zakresie zarządzania procesowego z wykorzystaniem wiedzy w polskich organizacjach. W artykule przytoczone zostały badania własne zrealizowane w 2019 w polskich przedsiębiorstwach zarządzanych procesowo. Wyraźnie wskazują one na to, iż polskie przedsiębiorstwa również uświadamiają sobie konieczność nie tylko dbałości o aktualnie realizowane w nich procesy, ale również na adaptację ich do zmian zarówno dyktowanych przez otoczenie, jak i wynikających z wewnętrznych uwarunkowań organizacji. Do realizacji tych celów coraz częściej stosowane jest wdrażanie zarządzania procesowego bazującego na wiedzy.

The formation of network organizations is underpinned by the development of ICTs (Information Communication Technologies). Such organizations promote the application of an innovation-oriented approach. The monograph depicts theoretical and practical issues arising from our research on the transformation of management structures of various organizations. The research shows that the application of a network management model allows for significant economic effects to be obtained both for the constituent organizations and for the society. Creating a network organization may improve its competitiveness and ensure its higher international ratings. The emergence of network organizations ensues from the evolution of traditional linear structures. The transformation process could take place thanks to substantial progress in ICT development.

The main aim of the article was to estimate select aspects of knowledge management quality evaluations in contemporary enterprises from theoretical and practical perspectives. Measuring knowledge management is the biggest challenge for both theoreticians and practitioners. The survey was addressed to organizations conducting business activity in Poland. The research was carried out in 2019 in the form of an online survey. For international organizations, the survey was intended for representatives of these companies’ local branches. It has been shown that the factors that most strongly affect the quality of knowledge are directly related to infrastructure and information technology systems (IT systems). The article contributes to managerial practice by pointing out the importance of evaluating knowledge management quality from the process perspective. The article’s originality lies in the contribution to the literature of evaluating knowledge management quality by empirically analyzing it in contemporary enterprises. The results of research in the field involving assessing the quality of knowledge management have shown the need to focus not only on information technology tools (IT tools) related to infrastructure, but also on the processes approach, taking into account the priority role of the employees.
