The term airport’s catchment area should be understood as geographical area from which it attracts its passengers to the air services provided. With the growth of the airports network, a situation occurs in which the catchment areas of multiple airports in the region begin to overlap. This means that the market in this given region is divided among multiple airports and the definition of the catchment areas of each one must be modified in order to obtain accurate results. This work presents issues related to determining the catchment areas of airports in areas where competition between multiple airports may occur. The first and second chapters serve as a theoretical introduction to the topics discussed. The third chapter is devoted to presenting the input data used for the purposes of this work, as well as describing the mathematical model used in the work based on simple equations. The model results are presented in the form of choropleth maps in chapter four. Subsequently, these results are analysed indicating the dependencies and characteristics of the catchment areas of multiple airports. The work has been completed by summarizing the analyses performed and drawing conclusions from them.

The brand value represents a relevant part of the value of the entire company. With a successful brand value, the company can achieve higher profits and brand awareness and improve the overall reputation of the company. Increasing brand value can create a strong relationship between the brand and customers, strengthening competitive advantage over other brands. The above also applies to car brands. The recent period has been difficult for carmakers, largely affected by the coronavirus crisis, which has caused dramatic relative declines in global sales. Although estimates of sales developments in the automotive industry are slightly optimistic, to gain an overview between competing brands and thus advantage, it will be helpful to know the brand attributes and their impact on the perceived value of car brands. The main aim of the paper has been to identify relevant attributes of the value of selected brands in the category of car brands as a prospective source of competitiveness. To find out the brand preference in the automotive industry and to identify the relevant attributes of the brand with a significant impact on the perceived value of car brands, a survey was conducted during the second quarter of 2023 among Slovak consumers, and multiple regression analyses were performed. Based on the research outcomes, it has been found that in the case of all selected car brands, modernity is the dominant attribute of brand value, followed by image, quality, and creative advertising. These findings have great significance not only for the practice of brand value building and management in the automotive industry but also for further research on brand value. Marketing managers should revise their orientation on modernity after reconsidering the identity and historical background of the car brand.

Wartość marki stanowi istotną część wartości całego przedsiębiorstwa. Dzięki odpowiedniej wartości marki firma może osiągnąć wyższe zyski i świadomość marki oraz poprawić ogólny wizerunek przedsiębiorstwa. Zwiększanie wartości marki może stworzyć silny związek między marką a klientami, wzmacniając przewagę konkurencyjną nad innymi markami. Powyższe dotyczy również marek samochodowych. Ostatni okres był trudny dla producentów samochodów, głównie z powodu kryzysu koronawirusowego, który spowodował dramatyczne względne spadki sprzedaży na całym świecie. Chociaż szacunki dotyczące rozwoju sprzedaży w branży motoryzacyjnej są optymistyczne, aby uzyskać przegląd konkurujących marek i tym samym okreslić przewagę, pomocne będzie poznanie atrybutów marki i ich wpływu na postrzeganą wartość marek samochodowych. Głównym celem artykułu było zidentyfikowanie istotnych atrybutów wartości wybranych marek w kategorii marek samochodowych jako perspektywicznego źródła konkurencyjności. Aby dowiedzieć się, jakie są preferencje marek w branży motoryzacyjnej i zidentyfikować istotne atrybuty marki z istotnym wpływem na postrzeganą wartość marek samochodowych, przeprowadzono badanie w drugim kwartale 2023 roku wśród słowackich konsumentów, dodatkowo przeprowadzono analizy regresji wielokrotnej. Na podstawie wyników badań stwierdzono, że w przypadku wszystkich wybranych marek samochodów nowoczesność jest dominującym atrybutem wartości marki, a następnie wygląd, jakość i kreatywna reklama. Te wyniki mają dużą wagę nie tylko dla praktyki budowania i zarządzania wartością marki w branży motoryzacyjnej, ale także dla dalszych badań nad wartością marki. Menedżerowie marketingu powinni przeanalizować swoją orientację na nowoczesność po biorąc pod uwagę tożsamość i historię marki samochodowej.

W 2023 roku polski sektor stalowy doświadczył znaczącego spadku produkcji, eksportu i zużycia jawnego wyrobów stalowych. Produkcja surówki żelaza, stali surowej i wyrobów walcowanych na gorąco znacząco się obniżyła, co odzwierciedla szersze wyzwania gospodarcze i osłabienie rynku stali. Pomimo wzrostu eksportu półwyrobów, znaczne deficyty handlowe w większości kategorii podkreślają potrzebę wsparcia sektora i zwiększenia konkurencyjności w trudnym okresie zielonej transformacji hutnictwa UE. Polska stoi przed wyzwaniami strukturalnymi i konkurencją z tanim importem, co wymaga pilnych działań naprawczych i innowacji.

EN

In 2023, the Polish steel sector experienced a significant decline in production, exports and apparent consumption of steel products. Production of pig iron, crude steel and hot-rolled products declined significantly, reflecting broader economic challenges and a weakening steel market. Despite the increase in exports of semi-finished products, significant trade deficits in most categories emphasize the need to support the sector and increase competitiveness in the difficult period of the green transformation of the EU steel industry. Poland faces structural challenges and competition with cheap imports, which requires urgent corrective action and innovation.

Purpose: After the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic and Russo-Ukrainian war, the situation in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) changed, especially regarding maritime container terminals. The aim of the article is to identify major Baltic container terminals and to perform a multicriteria analysis of their competitiveness. The analysis will be carried out before (2019) and after (2022) the turmoil on the market in question. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE II) with subjective criteria weights, as well as the entropy method with objective criteria weights. Findings: The obtained results show that two Polish maritime container terminals, DCT Gdańsk and GCT Gdynia, as well as Finnish Vuossari can be assessed as the most competitive both in 2019 and 2022. At the same time, in the analyzed years, the lowest positions in the rankings were maintained by Swedish GCT Gavle and Vasthamnen, Finnish Euroports Finland as well as Latvian BCT Riga. Research limitations/implications: Limited data availability influenced the choice of criteria used in the study. Moreover, website data sources used in the study may result in the inaccuracy of our calculations. Finally, the subjectivity involved in the selection of chosen criteria and some of their weights could lead to different competitiveness assessment results of maritime container terminals in the BSR. Practical implications: Our findings should be of interest to terminal operators and managers planning their strategy for next years, especially if they want to maintain their competitive advantage in the region after the lifting of sanctions imposed on Russian ports. Originality/value: This is the first paper to compare the multicriteria rankings of competitiveness before and after the turmoil on the BSR container market, especially as industry reports and research on the BSR usually consider the annual results achieved by individual ports, ignoring the efficiency of the terminals that comprise them.

Purpose: The aim of the article was to present the status of implementation of the CSR concept in small and medium-sized enterprises in the Małopolska province. Methodology: The questionnaire contained closed and open questions, which enabled obtaining more precise answers. The first stage - the selection of enterprises - was carried out in a purposeful manner, based on their belonging to a determined sector. Then, on a random basis, 250 companies were selected in systematic selection from a base constituting the survey frame. The survey frame was the list of SME in Małopolska province. In total, 386 small and medium enterprises were randomly selected, from which a lower number of entities proceeded to participate in the survey. The remaining entrepreneurs refused to participate in the survey for unknown reasons. The compared partial and synthetic results present primarily assessments with regard to the level of acceptance of entrepreneurs participating in the survey in relation to the issues of the survey. As a rule, positive replies usually have the character of quality features. The x2 (chi-squared) test was used as a verification tool to evaluate the results obtained in this manner. Irrespective of this, the interview questionnaire prepared for this survey enabled giving the character of quality features to its results. Findings: 55% of respondents, admit that the very concept of corporate social responsibility is familiar to them, but they are not familiar with the details of the idea. Thirty per cent of respondents had never encountered the concept of CSR before, and 15% of respondents stated that it was well or even perfectly familiar to them. Most respondents indicated concern for the environment (68%) or support for the local community (57%). Good contact with customers and concern for their satisfaction was indicated by only 48% of respondents. The responses received show that the vast majority of respondents carry out their CSR activity in connection with increasing competitiveness (44%) or improving the company's image (48%). Among the respondents, about 13% indicated that the lack of appropriate tools used to promote the companies makes them undertake such activities. Only 11% of respondents stated that the reason for implementing CSR was socially motivated

The purpose of the article is to justify the use of a matrix approach to the interpretation of the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the development of labor potential. As evaluation indicators, we propose the level of management of labor potential, which is determined using the grapho-analytical method "potential square" and the level of management of the competitiveness of the business entity, which is determined using the graphic method "polygon of competitiveness". To identify these indicators, we used a developed three-point aggregated scale, which made it possible to quantitatively divide the formed quadrants according to threshold values: the zone of high efficiency in the use of labor potential (quadrant 9(MLLPQP High; MLCBECBHigh)), average (quadrants 3 (MLLP QPHigh; MLCBEC-BLow), 5 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBAverage), 6 (MLLPQPHigh; MLCBECBAverage), 7 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBEBHigh), 8 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBHigh)), and low (quadrants 1 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBECBLow), 2 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBLow), 4 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBECBAverage)). The value of the research lies in the fact that the pro-posed matrix approach to the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the development of labor potential makes it possible to take measures to improve its management. It is emphasized that in today's conditions and the limitation of financial resources, the vector of management should be aimed at preserving the labor potential, using its opportunities and experience.

Despite the valuable economic benefits of tourism, it must be highlighted that the tourism industry is an important source of stress for the environment with the main influence on tourist destinations. The aim of this study is to investigate the elements of environmental sustainability in tourism as key factors in the competitiveness of tourism using entropy methods. According to the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time that the entropy model applied to Environmental sustainability indicators, regarding entropy as a measure of non-uniformity among sustainability indicators of EU countries. The data of the EU were used and Environmental sustainability pillar of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index. The results show that the total entropy of the competitiveness of tourism within the environmental sustainability sub-index of the EU countries speaks in favor of the uniformity of the indicators. The study also reveals significant differences among the EU27 in the domain of the Global Climate Risk index, Baseline water stress and Forest cover loss. Furthermore, convergence has been achieved so far in the indicators Red List Index and Environmental treaty ratification. Finally, the methodological approach of this study has the potential to be extrapolated worldwide, especially in the future era of global environmental problems.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest zbadanie elementów zrównoważenia środowiskowego w turystyce jako kluczowych czynników konkurencyjności turystyki przy użyciu metod entropii. Według wiedzy autorów po raz pierwszy zastosowano model entropii do wskaźników zrównoważenia środowiskowego, traktując entropię jako miarę niejednorodności wskaźników zrównoważenia krajów UE. Wykorzystano dane z UE i filar zrównoważonego rozwoju środowiskowego Indeksu konkurencyjności w zakresie podróży i turystyki. Wyniki pokazują, że za jednolitością wskaźników przemawia łączna entropia konkurencyjności turystyki w ramach subindeksu zrównoważenia środowiskowego krajów UE. Badanie ujawnia również znaczne różnice między krajami UE-27 w dziedzinie globalnego wskaźnika ryzyka klimatycznego, podstawowego stresu wodnego i utraty pokrywy leśnej. Ponadto osiągnięto dotychczas zbieżność wskaźników Czerwonej Listy i ratyfikacji traktatu środowiskowego. Wreszcie, metodologiczne podłoże tego badania ma potencjał do ekstrapolacji na cały świat, zwłaszcza w erze globalnych problemów środowiskowych.
