• The importance of the relationship 'quality versus innovation', especially environment-oriented innovation
  In the current approach to product quality, its various aspects become important. This is the case with the environmental aspect, which in the case of many products is even the most important. This text presents the most important determinants of this fact. It should be noted that although the quality of products, understood practically as the degree of meeting customer requirements, is addressed primarily to direct customers, it has indirect (distant) customers, i.e. stakeholders outside the circle of the direct relationship: product producer - customer user. The rations of indirect customers, that is, generally speaking, institutions that guard the rational use of environmental resources, are equally important and must be taken into account. The role of artificial intelligence in the relationship between quality and innovation is also discussed. In the final part of the text, a proposal is presented on how to take into account the environmental aspect at the design stage, i.e. where the quality of the product is shaped and where the level of environmental impact of this product is decided throughout its life cycle.
