Purpose: The purpose of the article is to identify and to assess the essence of the concept of regional smart specializations in the context of innovation development, with particular emphasis on the regions of Eastern Poland. Additionally, it aims to highlight the role of EU funds in financing activities related to the creation of smart specializations in these regions. Design/methodology/approach: In collecting empirical material for the article, the method of economic and general statistics was used. The time frame of the research covers the years 2014-2023. The justification for the research location lies in the significant innovation potential of the regions of Eastern Poland and the EU funds directed at improving their competitiveness and investment attractiveness. The question arises whether this has been successfully achieved. Findings: The research showed that in all five voivodeships of Eastern Poland, regional smart specializations included issues related to improving innovation. The regions of Eastern Poland received more funding from EU funds and programs per capita compared to the national average. This is also confirmed by the absorption rate. However, the analyzed voivodeships still have the lowest GDP per capita in the country. Therefore, they should continue to invest in the development of technical and social infrastructure, as well as innovation in enterprises. Originality/value: The article presents the utilization of EU financial resources supporting cohesion policy by the local governments of the voivodeships in Eastern Poland, as well as the effects of this support based on selected indicators, including the author’s absorption indicator.

Purpose: The main aim of this article is to explore the drivers of patenting activity of Polish regions. We hypothesise that R&D expenditures, as well as internationalization measures or regional economy indicators have statistically significant impact on patenting at the regional level. Design/methodology/approach: In the following article, an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is utilized. Specifically, patents granted by Polish Patenting Office are regressed on various standard, as well as non-orthodox measures of innovative activity To account for unobserved, time-invariant region characteristics, a fixed effects (FE) model was chosen, supported by highly significant outcome of the Hausman test. Findings: The results indicated that the determinants of innovative activity utilized in countrylevel studies are effective in explaining patenting activity on the regional level. Statistically significant relationship between dependent variable and various independent variables was demonstrated. First of all, region’s economy’s size, measured by GDP per capita and number of firms show positive impact on the number of patents granted, similarly to utilized internationalization measures (firms with foreign capital, foreign students). On the contrary, the number of university graduates is negatively related to the number of patents granted, which remains slightly less intuitive. At the same time, the impact of R&D and expenditures on patenting appears to be more complex and non-linear. Research limitations/implications: The following article contains several limitations. The patenting activities should be preferably conducted on the firm or industry level data. Second, a comparison between determinants of patenting activity in developed and nondeveloped economies would benefit the field, however, given the choice of independent variables, was subject to data availability. Finally, given ambiguous results of the impact of R&D expenditures on patenting in both, absolute and relative terms, different types of R&D expenditures should be compared, once available. Originality/value: To authors knowledge is the first study that employs panel data framework in the field of patenting at the regional level in Poland - modestly innovative and non-high-income country.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present an assessment of the innovativeness of a construction company using an original method of diagnosing the state of innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The work uses an original method for diagnosing the state of innovation and eco-innovation of enterprises, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the level of innovation, identification of the main sources of environmental impact and analysis of the technologies used using the classification of technological readiness levels. Findings: The company has an average level of innovation, with a clear advantage in terms of technological innovation. Currently, the company is not in the area of sustainable development. The LCA structure has shown that cement is the main source of the company's negative impact on the environment. The TRL (Technology Readiness Level) structure in the company is uneven and includes only level 8-9, which indicates the use of mainly externally acquired technologies. The obtained diagnosis of the company also allows for the indication of proposals for changes aimed at the company's development, which in the future will enable the achievement of sustainable development in terms of innovation and eco-innovation. Research limitations/implications: In the future, the developed method can be used to conduct research in various industrial sectors, which will allow for the identification of specific challenges and opportunities in the field of innovation and eco-innovation in individual sectors of the economy. Practical implications: The value of the article results from its practical nature - the developed method can be a support tool for enterprises in the process of planning development strategies, especially in the context of requirements related to ecological transformation and sustainable development. Social implications: this method can contribute to improving the quality of social life -by supporting more sustainable construction practices, reducing the negative impact on the natural environment and promoting responsible attitudes in business. As a result, this translates into a healthier and safer living environment for current and future generations, thus supporting the goals of long-term socio-economic development. Originality/value: The novelty presented in the article is the use of an original method of diagnosing the state of innovation and eco-innovation of an enterprise to assess the innovativeness of an enterprise from the construction industry, enabling a comprehensive assessment of not only the level of innovation, but also the identification of sources of environmental impact and the assessment of technologies used using the TRL classification. It is a response to the existing research gap and can indicate possible directions of beneficial development changes for enterprises.

An important element of a zero-emission economy is technological innovation and the economic aspects of the transformation, which enable effective and cost-effective emission reductions. A zero-emission economy aims to completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, which requires the transformation of the energy, transport, and industry sectors, among others. A particular challenge is reducing emissions in transport, which is responsible for approximately 25% of global carbon dioxide emissions resulting from energy consumption, primarily from fossil fuels. In the face of growing climate requirements and commitments resulting from the Paris Agreement, the transformation of this sector is becoming a priority for environmental policy at all levels. This article aims to demonstrate the role of innovative management strategies implemented by energy companies in the decarbonization process of transport, with a particular emphasis on economic aspects. By providing clean energy, developing infrastructure, and investing in modern technologies and services, these companies play a key role in the transformation of the transport sector. The costs of investing in modern technologies, such as electromobility, hydrogen, or intelligent transport systems, must be considered, as they require significant financial outlays for the development and implementation of solutions. Additionally, expenditures related to the adaptation of infrastructure, including the construction of charging stations and the modernization of the railway network, are significant and pose a challenge to public and private budgets. The scientific novelty of the present article lies in the interdisciplinary economic and technological analysis, which integrates innovation management, energy sector development, and transport transformation in the context of global climate challenges. It highlights strategic mechanisms and management tools that have been insufficiently explored so far, enabling a better understanding of how to effectively support transport decarbonization while considering economic aspects and infrastructure challenges.

Policy-making by authorities, especially the government of any country is not only significant but central and critical to the development and progress. The mode of policy-making can make or mar any society and country. It is not something that can be taken lightly or treated with levity in any aspect of societal life. Every society that has ever made significant development and progress has done so by focusing on its educational systems and the critical policies from which they evolve and are executed. Nigeria, as a developing country, aspires to join the comity of more developed nations and therefore believes that evolving educational policies can help in achieving this goal. However, making policies is one thing; how they evolve, their execution, and aftermath, are entirely different matters. When execution is poorly carried out or the policies are inadequately formulated, they have no impact and are impractical. It is said that curriculum innovations can introduce changes to an existing curriculum to improve it or bring forth a greater level of progress in its making. Many factors need to be considered when implementing innovations in the curriculum, these include the psychological impact, on its recipients. This is an area that is largely neglected by government policymakers in Nigeria, who usually introduce curriculum innovations and education policies that tend to impair rather than enhance academic studies and progress for students. This paper attempts to make a ground assessment of new policy implementations using selected states as case studies, while simultaneously examining the psychological effects of policymakers. It delves into this neglected area of the nation’s life and analyses how different policy innovations in the curriculum and educational sector in Nigeria have served more as impediments rather than enhances for recipients.

Kształtowanie polityki przez organy władzy, a w szczególności rząd, jest nie tylko ważne, ale ma również kluczowe znaczenie dla rozwoju i postępu. Sposób, w jaki tworzona jest polityka państwa, może rozstrzygać o rozwoju lub niepowodzeniu społeczeństwa lub kraju. W żadnym aspekcie życia społecznego nie jest ona czymś, co może być traktowane lekkomyślnie i bez powagi. Każde społeczeństwo, które kiedykolwiek poczyniło znaczące postępy, zawdzięcza je skupieniu wysiłków na rozwoju oraz realizowaniu systemu edukacyjnego i kluczowych wytycznych. Nigeria, jako państwo rozwijające się, dąży do nawiązania współpracy międzynarodowej z bardziej rozwiniętymi narodami, dlatego też ma nadzieję, że adaptacja oświaty pomoże w osiągnięciu tego celu. Jednakże tworzenie ustawodawstwa to jedno, ale to, w jaki sposób będzie ono nowelizowane, egzekwowane i jakie przyniesie skutki, pozostaje osobnym problemem. Źle przeprowadzana realizacja lub nieodpowiednio sformułowane wytyczne nie przyniosą żadnych korzyści i staną się niepraktyczne. Innowacje programowe mogą wprowadzić zmiany do obecnego programu nauczania lub podnieść poziom postępu w jego tworzeniu. W trakcie wdrażania tych ulepszeń wiele czynników musi zostać wziętych pod uwagę, między innymi psychologiczny wpływ na jego odbiorców. W Nigerii obszar ten jest poważnie zaniedbywany przez decydentów, którzy wprowadzają innowacje do programu nauczania i wytycznych edukacyjnych, efektem czego jest raczej obniżenie postępu uczniów, niż jego podniesienie. W artykule podjęto próbę oceny nowo wprowadzonych wytycznych w wybranych stanach jako studium przypadku, a jednocześnie zbadano ich psychologiczny wpływ. Skupiono się na tym zaniedbywanym aspekcie życia społecznego i analizie, w jaki sposób różne reformy polityki kraju, pod kątem sektora edukacji i programu nauczania w Nigerii, powodują więcej szkody niż korzyści dla odbiorców.

Każdy etap tworzenia prototypów jest istotny dla osiągnięcia dokładności i powtarzalności procesu produkcyjnego. Chociaż dokładność i precyzja dla wielu oznacza to samo, to w procesie produkcyjnym jest to następstwo zdarzeń, mające bezpośrednie przełożenie na efekt. Zarówno dokładność, jak i precyzja z definicji odzwierciedlają jak blisko jest pomiar do rzeczywistej, pożądanej wartości. W przypadku procesu produkcyjnego dokładność będzie odzwierciedlała pomiar do akceptowanej wartości, podczas gdy precyzja − powtarzalność pomiarów. Właśnie do jej osiągnięcia konieczne jest skonstruowanie dokładnego oprzyrządowania produkcyjnego, dzięki któremu każda wyprodukowana sztuka zachowa powtarzalność wykonania.

EN

Each stage of the prototyping process is crucial for achieving the accuracy and repeatability of the manufacturing process. Although accuracy and precision are often treated as synonyms, yet, as regards production, they represent sequential events directly impacting the outcome. By definition, both accuracy and precision reflect how close a given measurement result is to the actual desired value. In terms of the manufacturing process, accuracy reflects the proximity of measurement results to acceptable values, whereas precision reflects the repeatability of measurement processes. Precision requires the construction of precise production tooling aimed at ensuring the repeatable workmanship of each fabricated piece.

The industrialization of construction has accelerated significantly in recent years thanks to automation, prefabrication, digitalization and sustainable solutions. In the field of timber construction, these innovations are reflected in more efficient and environmentally friendly production and construction processes. Timber construction plays a key role in sustainable construction, as wood is a natural, renewable and carbon-neutral material. In combination with modern technologies and innovations, they become even more environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and durable. The purpose of this manuscript is to point out, within a limited scope, the principles and aspects related to the above-mentioned topics, both in terms of raising awareness of the given topics and also to initiate new research tasks for increasing the performance of the construction industry as such. Because, for example, innovations in the industrialization of timber construction enable faster, more precise and more sustainable construction. The combination of prefabrication, digitalization, automation and smart solutions is creating a new era of wooden buildings that are not only environmentally friendly but also competitive with traditional building materials.

Eco-innovation involves developing products, processes, services, and business models that strengthen environ-mental sustainability and resource efficiency. This study explores its contribution to reducing organisational environmental impact and supporting smart infrastructure. The research applies a critical literature analysis and a benefit–cost approach to assess monetary balances, complemented by the time-saving method as a planning instrument. The findings show that eco-in-novation can reduce emissions, limit pollution, protect biodiversity, and enable renewable energy use, although high initial costs continue to hinder adoption, particularly in emerging economies. These constraints may restrict implementation capacity in less developed regions and highlight the need for supportive policy frameworks. The study offers practical guidance for smart cities pursuing sustainable, low-emission development through intelligent planning. Its originality lies in introducing the time-saving method into eco-innovation planning, providing a novel tool for policymakers and researchers seeking to strengthen environ-mentally responsible urban systems.

W badaniu zastosowano krytyczną analizę literatury oraz metodę korzyści i kosztów do oceny bilansów finansowych, uzupełnioną o metodę oszczędności czasu jako instrument zarządczy.Wyniki wskazują, że ekoinnowacje mogą redukować emisje, ograniczać zanieczyszczenia, chronić bioróżnorodność oraz umoż-liwiać wykorzystanie odnawialnych źródeł energii, choć wysokie koszty początkowe nadal utrudniają ich wdrażanie, zwłaszcza w gospodarkach wschodzących. Ograniczenia te mogą zmniejszać możliwości implementacyjne w regionach słabiej rozwinię-tych i podkreślają potrzebę odpowiednich ram politycznych. Badanie dostarcza praktycznych wskazówek dla tworzenia inteli-gentnych miast dążących do zrównoważonego, niskoemisyjnego rozwoju poprzez inteligentne planowanie. Oryginalność pracy polega na wprowadzeniu metody oszczędności czasu do planowania ekoinnowacji, co stanowi nowatorskie narzędzie dla decy-dentów i badaczy poszukujących sposobów wzmacniania środowiskowo odpowiedzialnych systemów miejskich.

Purpose: The authors will answer two research questions: (1) What endogenous parameters of the cultural cycle in a given non-governmental organization introducing social innovations ensure its systemic stability, i.e. group and organizational morphostasis? (2) What parameters of the cultural cycle in a given organisation bring about its systemic change, that is, group and organisational mophogenesis? Design/methodology/approach: The research was based on assumptions of the morphogenetic theory of structure and agency, in particular types of reflexivity as a factor that conditioning social agency. They relate to the determination of endogenous conditions limiting the innovative activity of the surveyed nongovernmental organisations. Based on them and using the qualitative analysis of the data obtained during group interviews (FGI), a diagnosis of developmental limitations and barriers will be made. Findings: Among the members of the nongovernmental organisations surveyed, the dominance of the components of communicative reflexivity over autonomous reflexivity was diagnosed. This key cultural condition, which constitutes its morphostatic nature, i.e. focus on maintaining the organisational status quo, has anti-innovation potential. Most of the organisations members of the surveyed focused on maintaining the contextual continuity of the group and organisations, that is, reluctance toward new collective entities of action in NGOs, who question the existing status quo, that is, structural and/or cultural continuity. Such a context petrifies the level of tensions and social distances, and limits the innovative potential. Originality/value: The dominance of the components of communicative reflexivity over autonomous reflexivity is a key cultural condition that negatively shapes the functioning of Polish NGOs in the area of innovation.

The paper deals with individual possibilities for energy savings and the use of chemicals in the production of automotive components. Specifically, it focuses on operating an aluminium foundry where shape-complex castings such as engine blocks and gear and clutch housings are produced using high-pressure die-casting technology. Regarding the production process, foundry operations are characterized by high energy consumption and high wastewater production. On the other hand, there is also a great potential for introducing various innovations and seeking savings. This paper aims to present selected innovative solutions throughout the foundry operation and assess their benefits in energy consumption savings, reduced wastewater production, and chemicals usage. The impact of the presented savings is financial in terms of the production of components and environmental in terms of CO2 production.
