Abstract :
The article about Janusz Filipiak, written by Richard Stevenson, within the Technology Leaders´ Forum, differs somewhat from those published earlier in this column by presenting also the personal side of this outstanding entrepreneur, engineer, scientist, and educator, as well as by showing the political background of Poland in the years of transition from the communist-style to marked-oriented economy. I do believe that the readers of the Communications Magazine will find this article interesting and stimulating.
