The aim of this article is to diagnose the level of inclusion in the management of representatives of other cultures. This article introduces the idea of inclusive management, develops a model of inclusive management of an organisation in a cultural aspect, and applies the Inclusive Management Scale – an original research tool which can be used to diagnose the level of inclusion in management in the following dimensions: cognitive, affective and behavioural, and enables precise indication of strengths and weaknesses in a given area. The results of research conducted in 452 organisations based in Poland are presented. The research shows that Polish managers, with regard to the behavioural and affective dimensions, are at the first level of ethnorelativism. It should be noted that they tend to accept representatives of other cultures and undertake cooperation in spite of differences but do not have sufficient knowledge and determination on how to manage in a fully inclusive manner. Their knowledge of how to adapt and integrate foreigners should be improved. On a cognitive level, they are in a transitional phase between ethnocentric and ethnorelativist approaches to managing culturally different people. It has also been observed that managers of large organisations are more willing and better prepared to manage inclusively than managers of smaller entities.

Celem artykułu jest diagnoza poziomu inkluzji w zarządzaniu przedstawicielami innych kultur. W niniejszym artykule przybliżono idę inkluzywnego zarządzania, opracowano model inkluzywnego zarządzania organizacją w aspekcie kulturowym, wykorzystano Skalę Inkluzywnego Zarządzania – autorskie narzędzie badawcze, które może służyć do diagnozy poziomu inkluzji w zarządzaniu w wymiarach: kognitywnym, afektywnym i behawioralnym oraz umożliwić precyzyjnie wskazanie mocnych i słabych stron w danym obszarze. Przedstawiono wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w 452 organizacjach mających siedziby na terenie Polski. Z badań wynika, że polscy menedżerowie w odniesieniu do wymiaru behawioralnego i afektywnego znajdują się na pierwszym poziomie etnorelatywizmu. Należy zaznaczyć, iż raczej akceptują przedstawicieli innych kultur oraz podejmują współpracę pomimo występujących różnic, jednak nie posiadają dostatecznej wiedzy i determinacji, jak zarządzać w pełni inkluzywnie. Ich wiedza z zakresu sposobów adaptowania i integrowania obcokrajowców powinna być pogłębiona. W wymiarze kognitywnym znajdują się w fazie przejściowej, pomiędzy etnocentrycznym a etnorelatywistycznym podejściem do zarządzania osobami odmiennymi kulturowo. Zaobserwowano również, że menedżerowie dużych organizacji są bardziej skłonni i lepiej przygotowani do zarządzania inkluzywnego niż menedżerowie mniejszych podmiotów.

This study is a part research on the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption on sustainable development in the enterprises' context [1]--[3]. Its main purpose is to identify parameters stimulating the progress of ICT adoption and sustainable development and assess the two constructs based on these parameters. The identified parameters of ICT adoption are grouped into four categories i.e., ICT outlay, information culture, ICT management, and ICT quality, whereas the parameters of sustainable development are classified into ecological, economic, socio-cultural, and political sustainability categories. This study employs a quantitative approach and descriptive statistics are employed to evaluate the levels of ICT adoption and sustainable development. The survey questionnaire was used and data collected from 394 enterprises were analyzed. The research findings reveal that digital and socio-cultural competences of employees and managers, financial capabilities ensuring ICT projects as well as law regulations associated with ICT adoption, and information security were at the highest level within enterprises. However, the lowest level was specific for BI and ERP system adoption as well as the adoption of latest management concepts and the exploitation of synergies between national ICT projects and own ones. Moreover, the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness of customer services, better and more efficient organization of work, the enhancement of customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as the increase of new customers and markets as a result of ICT adoption were at the highest level within enterprises. However, the lowest level was specific for enterprises' participation in the democratic public decision-making as well as energy savings and environmental protection. This study advances ongoing research on ICT adoption and sustainable development by exploring parameters which can be used to describe and assess the levels of ICT adoption and sustainable development in the context of enterprises. Moreover, these parameters help clarify areas that need further improvement and stimulate the progress of ICT adoption and sustainable development.

War is an evolving cultural value. It is not an extension of politics - in this case it would be an invariable form of behavior. Through the analysis of terms defining war and military conflict as they are characterized within the confines of international law, military literature and social sciences, the Author searched for answers to the following questions: What is war? What does the war mean to the human being? How is it depicted, closed within the confines of cultural rituals? The Author investigated the issue of a relation between the military habits or war on its own and the evolving human culture. He proposes a thesis that war is not coming from politics of man, but from the culture of his behavior. The way of waging a war reflects the cultural and civilization level of human being and shows different forms of social organizations.
