INTELLECTUAL ECONOMICS 2007, Number 2(2)
FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARDThis issue of the Intellectual economics is devoted to the practical and methodological aspects of the Lithuanian logistics system and its integration to the economic area of the European Union. It is important to identify and determine the components of intellectual solutions’ value and those of social technologies, their peculiarities in the every particular field of economic activity, including logistics and interconnected research areas, to achieve their effective multilateralism and their interconnections. All traditional aspects of intellectual economics are important there, such as: innovative criteria of economic evaluations in specific activities, also the conceptual economic principles of institutional development solutions, and trends of using the advantages of the international division of labor in the EU, the possibilities of information technologies for the developing new managerial instruments in logistics a/o.
The transportation of goods, quality of integratively working logistics and customs system – all these processes become the important factors of the economic development of both various countries and European Union as a total as well as in the context of international cooperation. The reader could find some materials concerning the evaluations of losses to the state from shadow economy (incl. the flows of illegal items).
The formulation of aims and tasks concerning the amelioration of the customs’ procedures for the correction of the statistical data on the macroeconomic input-output and their structural shifts are also presented. In fact, these information channels help to ameliorate the reglamentation of criteria of the financial flows mostly connected with the import and export of services and especially with the constituents of the intellectual capital. We expect this bunch of the problems may be studied also in the following issues of this journal.
The Editorial board invites the scientists to participate more actively in revealing and discussing the various aspects and problems of formation and measurement of intellectual resources and intellectual capital. We also suppose that edition of some problem-oriented issues of the Intellectual economics could be continued in the future. We welcome, in particular, the expected articles devoted to the evaluations of the specific criteria of intellectual resources in the financial markets, regional economics, social cohesion, as well as the metaeconomic researches in the field of information technologies
