The demands placed on industry today are increasingly challenging and demanding. To meet these challenges, designers, contractors, and technology managers are constantly looking for effective solutions. Industry has always thrived on new technologies and innovations to achieve better results, so it is critical to undertake new developmental research to simulate and test new technological proposals. In this paper, the author describes a new direction in civil engineering technology that interdisciplinary couples solutions known to the bridge industry with geotechnical aspects in the technology space and the possibility of implementation in the construction industry. The author proposes the application of prestressing together with technological aspects of this solution to diaphragm walls, which are not only a temporary housing but also the foundations of a new investment. Thanks to this solution it is possible, among other things, to resign from one level of diaphragm expansion of diaphragm walls, which translates into cost optimization. It is an innovative approach to designing and most of all constructing the load-bearing structure, which directly influences the technological optimization of selected issues of completing the underground parts of the investment. Additionally, the presented solution contributes to the balanced execution of the investment by reducing the use of materials and construction equipment. The author discusses technological, execution and implementation problems related to the application of innovative solutions in construction companies together with examples of cost optimization. The author presents the results of conducted research with application of the proposed solution in the implementation of the underground commercial investment.

Wymagania stawiane dziś przez przemysł są coraz bardziej ambitne i wyśrubowane. Aby wyjść naprzeciw tym wyzwaniom, projektanci, wykonawcy oraz zarządzający technologiami, nieustanie szukają efektywnych rozwiązań. Od zawsze przemysł rozwija się dzięki nowym technologiom i innowacjom, które pozwalają osiągać lepsze wyniki, zatem niezwykle istotne jest podejmowanie nowych badań rozwojowych, które pozwolą symulować i sprawdzać nowe propozycje technologiczne. W niniejszym artykule autor opisuje nowy kierunek rozwoju technologii w zakresie inżynierii lądowej, który interdyscyplinarnie sprzęża rozwiązania znane mostownictwu z aspektami geotechnicznymi w przestrzeni technologii i możliwości wdrożenia w przemyśle budowlanym. Postawione zagadnienie dotyczy zasadniczo dwóch obszarów realizacji, czyli projektowania i wykonawstwa podziemnych części inwestycji. Część projektowa z pewnością związana jest z zagadnieniami geotechnicznymi, lecz część wykonawcza oprócz wymagań dotyczących konkretnie geotechniki, sprowadza się do zwinnego zarządzania dostawami materiałów, koordynacji prac wykonawczych, optymalnego wykorzystania sprzętu oraz kontroli prowadzonych procesów. Autor proponuje zastosowanie sprężenia wraz z aspektami technologicznymi tego rozwiązania do ścian szczelinowych, stanowiących nie tylko tymczasową obudowę, ale także fundamenty nowej inwestycji. Dzięki temu rozwiązaniu możliwe jest m.in. zrezygnowanie z jednego poziomu rozparcia ścian szczelinowych, co przekłada się na optymalizację kosztów.

W pracy zbadano postawę respondentów wobec prozdrowotnych właściwości dyni oraz ich opinię względem innowacyjnej żywności prozdrowotnej i suplementów diety. Analiza uzyskanych danych wskazuje, że dynia, choć wg kryteriów botanicznych jest owocem, to zwyczajowo jest uznawana za warzywo, do którego konsumenci i producenci żywności wracają po wielu latach zapomnienia. Używa się jej również jako surowiec do produkcji żywności prozdrowotnej oraz suplementów diety ukierunkowanych na uzupełnienie niedoborów witamin i składników mineralnych oraz niwelowanie wielu dolegliwości i wspomaganie leczenia niektórych chorób. Uzyskane wyniki badań potwierdziły, że zdecydowana większość respondentów pozytywnie odbiera innowacyjne produkty spożywcze i chętnie je próbuje. Wyniki przeprowadzonej ankiety wskazują, że konsumenci posiadają wiedzę na temat prozdrowotnych właściwości dyni, jednak nie korzystają z zawierającej ją żywności prozdrowotnej oraz suplementów diety.

The paper presents original research, encompassing the results of analyses of modular building façade solutions, as well as innovative design concepts based on these results by students of the Faculty of Architecture at the Poznań University of Technology. Adapting architecture to climate change is the main objective behind research and innovative designs. Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, thermal comfort of buildings, better thermal environment ergonomics for users of buildings' interiors, increased energy efficiency together with the use of renewable energy sources are major challenges for today's designers. Dealing with rainwater, wind and pressure changes are already absolute necessities. Contemporary trends in modern construction in urban areas were identified on the basis of results of analyses of selected existing buildings, presented using tables, graphs and statistical tools. Conclusions from the demonstrated correlations of quantitative data with social, economic and environmental factors became the basis for the students’ conceptual assumptions. The selected innovative façade designs presented in the article demonstrate a variety of solutions for modern modular systems which protect buildings from excessive sun exposure, help insulation resist external factors, generate energy, ventilate buildings, use pressure differences, collect water, purify air, protect fauna, etc. As a result, the developed concepts may be indicative of a contemporary approach to sustainable building design, based not only on reducing any negative environmental impact and conserving natural resources, but also on designing aesthetic buildings based on classic notions of beauty.

Purpose: The study aimed to identify differences in the level of innovation of the two types of firms – family (FB) and non-family (NFB) – and understand how the expectations of the management and/or business owners vary regarding the impact of innovations on business performance. Design/methodology/approach: Research questions were formulated based on the review of the findings of the surveys that compared innovation in family and non-family firms worldwide. Then, empirical research was conducted in 334 family and non-family firms in Poland. Findings: The findings do not confirm significant differences in the level of product innovation between FB and NFB. On the other hand, they point to a higher level of innovation measured with the number of process innovations in NFB. Research shows that firms rate the degree to which the expectations of innovation effects were fulfilled relatively low in both types of firms. Research limitations/implications: The applied measurement of the level of innovation according to the number of implemented innovations does not take into account their qualitative aspect, whether they are radical or incremental. The survey (questionnaire and interview) was based solely on the number of innovations declared as implemented by the respondents. Practical implications: The survey findings should inspire managers of family and non-family firms to analyze both the expected effects of the implementation of a particular type of innovation and to assess its actual outcomes. Social implications: Studies show that FB are not less innovative when it comes to implementing new or modified products and services. This contradicts both the opinions and some research results about the conservatism of FB or their stronger orientation towards family goals at the expense of a firm’s growth. Originality/value: This comparative study on FB and NFB innovation fills a gap in the area where knowledge concerning this issue is still scarce in Poland.

Information management and information flow is an important element in the strategy of developing and running a company. The need to supervise information makes it necessary to implement numerous innovations that improve the method of information management correlated with the proper reception, selection and analysis - in both external and internal information flow. This paper presents the results of research that allowed for the assessment of barriers that arise during the implementation of innovative solutions in small and medium-sized enterprises (service MSEs). On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the mental barrier is not always crucial from the point of view of modern technologies implementation. And the determination to implement information management innovations may be forced by the necessity of the document exchange acceleration . The success of innovative solutions e.g. in the financial services industry (in SMEs) is closely related to the technological capabilities of the enterprise - the technological barrier is crucial in this type of enterprises. Especially, taking into account the assumption that employees are highly motivated to implement new products.

Background: As the terms innovation, innovation strategy and especially cooperative innovation strategy are owned and discussed by many business disciplines, they can have various definitions. But a defined innovation strategy is the first step to enable a generation of innovation in a constant way. There are different approaches how a strategy can be defined. One common approach of an innovation strategy which includes the idea of an exploratory and cooperative strategy is the Open Innovation method. It describes three possible cooperation archetypes of an organization and its environment. Caused by the increased importance of startups and their innovation approaches a transfer of the common Open Innovation approach to a cooperation between established organization and startups is the aim of this article and results in the description of the startup orientated cooperative innovation (SOCI) strategy. Methods: This article gives at first an introduction in the topic of innovation and innovation strategy and its different approaches. The Open Innovation approach is described and in a further step the transfer to the new framework of (SOCI) strategies is presented. Result: As a result, the paper presents a new framework for three archetypes of SOCI-strategies. Three archetypes of SOCI-strategies were identified, by relating the three archetypes of Open Innovation to cooperations between established companies and startups. The three SOCI-strategies are: Buy/rent a startup, spin-off and startup in coupled process. Conclusion: The SOCI framework can be seen as a helpful to categorized cooperations between established companies and startups in context of generation innovation and gives an overview which archetypes of startup cooperations are possible.
