Scientific interests
The main domain of his research activity was marketing, encompassing consumption research, in particular the analysis of value systems, motives behind consumer behaviours and consumption forecasting methodologies. The second was banking. Prof. Kantecki made a great contribution to shaping banking in the conditions of the systemic transformation which was occurring in our country and the emergence of a market economy.
In particular, the Polish banking system owes much to the achievements of prof. Kantecki as President of the Foundation for Banking Education and Research. With his vast knowledge of banking and finance and the success of his foundation, he was a highly respected authority in the banking community. As a testament to this recognition, he was appointed an expert of the Leopold Kronenberg Banking Foundation. This also involved serving for many years on the jury for the prestigious Bank Handlowy prize for special achievements in theoretical thought in the sphere of economics and finance. He also supported the work of the Collegium of the Supreme Audit Office with his economic knowledge, experience and scientific reflection.
