Purpose: The purpose of this article is to propose risk management recommendations for social projects taking into account their specificities by analysing and evaluating the ways in which social project risks are managed in the literature and applied in practice. Design/methodology/approach: Both literature and empirical research have been used to provide an analysis of how risks of social projects are managed. The literature research, consisting of a literature review, will be contrasted with the results of the qualitative research carried out in the form of a single embedded case study. The result is a proposal in the field of project risk management for social projects. Findings: An analysis of the way in which social project risks are managed has made it possible to identify the interdependencies that exist in this area and to identify areas of social project risk management that are particularly in need of improvement. Research limitations/implications: The research is worth continuing by increasing the number of social project investigated in order to gain a broader perspective related to the risk management of social projects and to improve the proposed recommendations. Practical implications: The research led to the development of a diagram of the steps needed to be taken in social project risk management and how to automate it through the creation of a prototype project risk management tool. Social implications: The main aim of social projects is to achieve social change. This can take the form of creating new opportunities and spaces, resolving situations that hinder well-being and social development, as well as raising awareness and bringing about changes in the way society thinks. A prerequisite for the fulfilment of these objectives is the success of the project achieved through its correct implementation across all elements. One of these elements is effective and efficient risk management. Originality/value: The article expands on the number of studies related to social project risk management and draws attention to the very limited amount of literature slanting on this topic. In addition, it presents its own solutions for social project risk management.

Purpose: This article addresses the challenge of creating an excellent strategy under nonlinear conditions, focusing on understanding the unique features and values of the 2021-2030 strategy. The framework for shaping the organization's future is presented through the case of Grupa Azoty Capital Group's strategy. Project/methodology/approach: To achieve this goal, a literature review and examination of the selected strategy were conducted. Grupa Azoty served as an autotelic case study. The research method employed allowed for a depiction of the analysed unit. The case study offers potential for adequately achieving the set boundaries of knowledge, which is particularly important in an era of nuanced phenomena. The choice of research methodology was dictated by the need to examine a specific group of organizations and the subject of interest, enabling the identification of unique features and values of the analysed Capital Group. The conceptual elements of the case were diagnostic (how is it?), symptomatic (why is it so?), and intervention- related (what to do?). Findings: It was recognized that the challenge of today's world lies in the constant redefinition of fundamental truths, given that the era of continuity and high predictability of the environment has ended. The importance of social, technological, and environmental determinants and their impact on organizational strategy formation was acknowledged. The case study revealed several changes that needed to be implemented for the Capital Group's development. Grupa Azoty's 2021-2030 strategy confirms the priority of climate and energy transformation, the necessity for investment in innovation, and the importance of environmentally friendly solutions and products. Limitations/research implications: Future research on the influence of the environment on organizational strategy formation seems justified. Efforts to verify the level of achievement of intended goals also appear appropriate. Moreover, it is valuable to explore the performative dimension of the strategy on Grupa Azoty's employees and stakeholders. Practical implications: Individuals responsible for improving organizational strategy should continue to monitor emerging development perspectives in the environment. Regulatory changes resulting from the European Union's intentions, which aim to achieve beneficial social effects through establishing a set of sustainable development goals, warrant particular attention. The actions of the EU (the directives and regulations it creates) can significantly influence the strategy of a specific enterprise. Originality/value: The article allowed for the identification of unique features and values embedded in Grupa Azoty's strategy, serving as a starting point for further explorations. The analysis of the content may be helpful in formulating strategies for other organizations, particularly those operating in the dynamically changing landscape of the chemical industry.

Purpose: The concept of value is not limited to the financial criterion alone. Value in modern economics is gaining prominence as a multifaceted concept because of the possibility of interpreting it from the customers' point of view. In order to meet market expectations of the demand side, the concept of value co-creation is evolving. The aim of the article is to indicate the systemic differences between CSR and CSV, paying particular attention to the aspect of considering the concept of value. As an example of good practice, the author chose to present the activities of a company implementing a CSV strategy. Design/methodology/approach: Businesses are learning from their mistakes and, abandoning unfair greenwashing practices, are choosing to pursue goals that fit into the concept of Shared Value Creation (Porter, Kramer, 2011). Based on a case study, this article will present the evolution of the CSV concept and the effects of its application in business practice. The activities carried out by the 'Inne Beczki' brewery, were classified as implementation of the concept of creating shared value. Research metods is critical review (comparison of CSR and CSV) and case study based on 'Inne Beczki' brewery. Findings: Creating Shared Value is an opportunity for smaller businesses to provide relational support and influence improved social wellbeing without having to sacrifice the financial benefits of the business. The example presented here is evidence of the CSV strategy in the market space. Thus, through this work it is possible to grasp the differences, in the context of the concept of value, between CSR and CSV. Research limitations/implications: In line with the case study approach, the author focused on one company that operates in a specific segment (FMCG) and in a specific territorial area (Polish market). Originality/value: The unique value of this article is presenting the concept of Creating Shared Value, which is not often described with an example from the business space. The author’s aim is to present, by means of a case study, actions initiated by a business which, by carrying out an action for a shelter, became part of the concept of creating shared value. In addition, by releasing a limited series of bottles, it increased public awareness of the problem of animal homelessness, as evidenced by the increased adoption of the animals presented on the labels. Due to the greater popularity of CSR, all activities of companies that merely have the appearance of additional pro-social activity are incorrectly referred to as CSR. By making a comparison and presenting a concrete example, the author shows that the topic of segmenting activities and attributing them to more specific categories needs to be deepened and can be a direction for future research. Social implications: The author believes that this article will influence the popularisation of similar business practices. She sees the presented case study as an example of good practice and the realisation of some of the programme assumptions of the CSV concept.

Purpose: Identification and selection of a set of critical success factors for a research organisation based on the evaluation conducted by managers of new product development processes at such organisations. Determination of factors that are of the utmost importance at the pre-development stage (so-called fuzzy front-end stage) and verification of the obtained results based on the case study of a successful new product implementation. Design/method/approach: First, desk research was conducted, followed by a survey and a case study analysis. Conclusions: The adequacy of the identified set of factors was confirmed (applicability of 90% of the selected factors was recognised). A number of additional success determinants of the new product development (NPD) process were specified. The importance of planning, tactical and organisational measures taken at the fuzzy front-end stage of the NPD process was confirmed. The crucial importance of identifying and verifying NPD process critical success factors was demonstrated. Research limitations/implications: Possibility to expand the set of critical success factors for a research organisation, verification of the adequacy of the developed set based on other cases and types of technological solutions. Practical implications: The study can serve as a reference for research organisations that want to verify the reasons for the success or failure of their implementation processes. Social implications: The study can contribute to the implementation of standards and good practices concerning the NPD process implementation, which are directed at social participation and consideration of social needs during the processes of innovation development and implementation. Originality/value: The study addresses the needs of teams involved in NPD processes, both at research organisations and in companies. The article provides important guidance to managers of NPD processes. It offers a comprehensive overview of critical success factors and identifies a set of good practices to improve the efficiency of the NPD process.

Artykuł przedstawia opis przypadku wystąpienia wzbudzonej mobilności pasażerskiej w układzie multimodalnym. Pretekstem do wystąpienia zjawiska ruchu wzbudzonego jest wprowadzenie na most i Trasę Łazienkowską w Warszawie pasa autobusowego w roku 2009. Posługując się archiwalnymi danymi pomiarowymi dla potoków pasażerskich w transporcie publicznym i ruchu drogowego autor odtwarza zmiany potoków pasażerskich przed i po analizowanej zmianie. Zaproponowana metoda analizy proponuje badanie występowania czterech głównych efektów usprawnienia połączenia komunikacyjnego opisanych w literaturze dotyczącej wzbudzonej mobilności. Potwierdzenie występowania określonego efektu pozwala następnie na podjęcie się jego pomiaru. Eliminacja lub pomiar wszystkich efektów pozwalają ostatecznie stwierdzić, czy w analizowanym przypadku wystąpiło zjawisko wzbudzonego ruchu pasażerskiego i jaka była jego skala. W przypadku utworzenia pasa autobusowego na moście i Trasie Łazienkowskiej w 2009 roku stwierdzono pasażerski ruch wzbudzony w transporcie publicznym autobusowym rzędu 1789 osób w godzinie szczytu porannego. Ruch ten pojawił się obok przejęcia części pasażerów samochodów osobowych przez transport publiczny, obok zjawiska zmiany tras komunikacyjnych przez użytkowników systemu oraz obok zjawiska przeniesienia części podróży z godzin pozaszczytowych na godziny szczytu.

The article presents a case study description of induced passenger mobility in a multimodal system. The pretext for analysis of the phenomenon of induced mobility is the introduction of a bus lane on the Bridge and Łazienkowska Route in Warsaw in 2009. Using archival measurement data for passenger flows in public transport and road traffic, the author reconstructs the changes in passenger flows before and after the analyzed change. The proposed method of analysis tests the occurrence of the four main effects of improving the traffic connection described in the literature on induced mobility. Confirming the presence of a particular effect then allows one to undertake its measurement. The elimination or measurement of all the effects make it possible to definitively determine whether the phenomenon of induced passenger traffic occurred in the analyzed case and what its scale was. In the case of the creation of a bus lane on the Bridge and Lazienkowska Route in 2009, passenger induced traffic in public bus transportation was found to be of the order of 1,789 people in the morning rush hour. This traffic appeared alongside the takeover of some passenger car passengers by public transport, alongside the phenomenon of rerouting by system users, and alongside the phenomenon of transferring some trips from off-peak hours to peak hours.

Vessel grounding accidents can potentially cause catastrophic marine accidents with environmental pollution and loss of life and economy. New systems introduced to improve safety of navigation should not be cause them. Today, the ECDIS is the main cartographic system and must therefore be an appropriate aid to support seafarers in building situational awareness with the relevant information needed for safe navigation. This paper describes the development of situational awareness and its features after which the maritime grounding accidents, in the period from 2008 to 2019 are analysed. Due to importance of the ECDIS, only ECDIS related accidents were considered. The aim of this paper was to determine which error ceased the development of good situational awareness and to determine whether there is a certain pattern by which to predict future errors and thus act preventively on them. This study shows at which situation awareness level those errors occurred and which SA demon affected the seafarers to perform an error.

The mission of many companies around the world is to strive for continuous development of their operations, thus increasing their own operability and profits generated. The ways to do this are at least several - from increasing the scope of the company’s operations to looking for weak links inside the company, thus optimizing the costs incurred. It so happens, however, that it is not internal conditions that influence the way a business entity is shaped, but external influences over which one does not always have control. It then remains to adjust to the new reality and, as far as possible, reduce its negative impact. Emerging threats in the socioeconomic space, in recent years, caused by the COVID pandemic or the war in Ukraine, among others, have contributed to an area in which research should be undertaken. The purpose of the study was to analyze the disruptions created inside supply chains and their impact on the transport company. In the described research, the research questions were formulated as follows: How do disruptions in supply chains affect the opportunity costs of transportation companies and how can they be minimized? A research assumption was made that disruptions in supply chains affect the opportunity costs of transportation companies. These disruptions limit opportunities to expand economic activity. The problem discussed referred to the issue of opportunity cost - in particular, the cost of lost opportunities and benefits, in order to then propose changes and actions to reduce the adverse effects from external influences. Based on the research, it can be concluded that disruptions in supply chains affect the opportunity cost of companies (1). Identifying and analyzing disruptions Identifying disruptions and analyzing allows you to identify several options for minimizing opportunity costs (2). Considering the disruptions in supply chains under the influence of the global crises among the most significant affecting the studied entity were: disruptions related to the timeliness of deliveries, the inability to hire new drivers and the possibility of acquiring another set of vehicles (3). These disruptions prevented the surveyed entity from expanding its operations and thus affected its opportunity costs.

Misją wielu przedsiębiorstw na całym świecie jest dążenie do stałego rozwoju swojej działalności, a co za tym idzie zwiększania własnej operacyjności i generowanych zysków. Sposobów, aby tego dokonać jest co najmniej kilka – od zwiększenia zakresu działania przedsiębiorstwa po wyszukanie słabych ogniw wewnątrz firmy, optymalizując w ten sposób ponoszone koszty. Zdarza się jednak tak, że to nie wewnętrzne uwarunkowania wpływają na sposób kształtowania podmiotu gospodarczego, a zewnętrzne wpływy, nad którymi nie zawsze ma się kontrolę. Pozostaje wtedy dopasować się do nowej rzeczywistości i w miarę możliwości obniżać jej negatywne oddziaływanie. Powstałe zagrożenia w przestrzeni społeczno-gospodarczej, w ostatnich latach, spowodowane między innymi pandemią COVID czy wojną na Ukrainie przyczyniły się do powstania obszaru w którym należy podjąć badania. Celem opracowania była analiza zakłóceń powstałych wewnątrz łańcuchów dostaw i ich wpływu na przedsiębiorstwo transportowe. W opisywanym badaniu pytania badawcze sformułowano następująco: w jaki sposób zakłócenia w łańcuchach dostaw wpływają na koszty alternatywne przedsiębiorstw transportowych i w jaki sposób można je minimalizować? Przyjęto hipotezę badawczą, iż zakłócenia w łańcuchach dostaw mają wpływ na koszty alternatywne przedsiębiorstw transportowych. Zakłócenia te ograniczają możliwości poszerzenia aktywności gospodarczej. Omawiany problem odnosił się do kwestii kosztu alternatywnego – w szczególności kosztu utraconych możliwości i korzyści, aby następnie zaproponować zmiany oraz działania, które pozwolą na obniżenie niekorzystnych skutków z zewnętrznych wpływów. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, że zakłócenia w łańcuchach dostaw wpływają na koszty alternatywne przedsiębiorstw (1). Identyfikacja i przeanalizowanie zakłóceń umożliwia wskazanie kilku opcji minimalizowania kosztów utraconych możliwości (2). Biorąc pod uwagę zakłócenia w łańcuchach dostaw pod wpływem światowych kryzysów, do najistotniejszych oddziałujących na badany podmiot zaliczamy: zakłócenia związane z terminowością dostaw, brakiem możliwości zatrudnienia nowych kierowców oraz możliwością nabycia kolejnego zestawu pojazdów (3). Zakłócenia te uniemożliwiły badanemu podmiotowi poszerzenie prowadzonej działalności, a tym samym wpłynęły na jego koszty utraconych możliwości.

Obiekty budowlane mogą ulegać korozji biologicznej na skutek uszkodzenia przegród budowlanych, ich niewłaściwej eksploatacji czy błędów wykonawczych. Najsilniej problem ten jest obserwowany w budynkach mieszkalnych, a z uwagi na szkodliwe oddziaływanie na zdrowie ludzkie rośnie świadomość jego istnienia oraz przyczyn powstania. Jednak zjawisko to dotyka również przegród zewnętrznych. Szczególnie wpływa ono na estetykę, a zbagatelizowane może spowodować uszkodzenie przegrody. W artykule przedstawiono wpływ mikroorganizmów kolonizujących przegrodę na trzy elewacje budynków wielorodzinnych wykonanych w systemie ETICS, a także na drewniane elementy elewacji zespołu obiektów widowiskowo-sportowych. Co istotne, dla porównania dwa spośród obiektów wielorodzinnych oraz zespół obiektów widowiskowo-sportowych są zlokalizowane w swoim bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie.

Building structures may be subject to biological corrosion as a result of damage to building partitions, their improper use or construction errors. This problem is most observed in residential buildings, and due to its harmful impact on human health, awareness of its existence and the causes of its occurrence is growing. However, this phenomenon also affects external partitions. It particularly affects the aesthetics, but if ignored, it may cause damage to the partition. The article presents the impact of microorganisms colonizing the partition on three facades of multi-family buildings constructed in the ETICS system, as well as on wooden elements of the facades of a complex of entertainment and sports facilities. Importantly, for comparison, two of the multi-family facilities and a complex of entertainment and sports facilities are located in their immediate vicinity.

Zmieniające się warunki użytkowania istniejących elementów konstrukcji determinują konieczność wykonania powtórnej weryfikacji nośności. Zadanie takie może komplikować się w świetle wielu zmiennych, które należy uwzględnić podczas analizy ustrojów. W artykule przywołano dwa przypadki obiektów już eksploatowanych, na dachach których planowano zamocować panele fotowoltaiczne. Ocena możliwości dodatkowego ich dociążenia poprzedzona została sporządzeniem projektów branżowych, zawierających m.in. lokalizację (rozkład) paneli, jak również ich ciężar. W artykule ten problem opisano jako studium przypadku dla dwóch niezależnych dachów, wykonanych w różniących się technologiach.

The changing conditions of use of existing structure elements determine the need to re-verify the load-bearing capacity. Such a task may become more complicated in light of the many variables that must be taken into account when analyzing systems. The article mentions two cases of facilities already in operation, on the roofs of which photovoltaic panels were planned to be installed. The assessment of the possibility of additional load was preceded by the preparation of industry projects, including, among others: location (distribution) of panels as well as their weight. The article describes this problem as a case study for two independent roofs made using different technologies.

In academic education, a method called Project-Based Learning is becoming increasingly popular. Its essence is that students acquire competence and knowledge through independent project work, with only mentoring by the teacher or teachers. At the Silesian University of Technology, this method has been implemented for several years. The authors of this article, representing various industries: architecture, construction and installations, have undertaken with students and invited experts on the topic of redesigning the existing industrial hall for Industry 4.0. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, which is systematically implemented in design offices, but still rarely used at universities, was used for design works. Students developed a given project to analyze the advantages and difficulties of implementing BIM technology into the design in the domain of inter-branch cooperation.

Large floors of industrial enterprises, warehouses, stores, and shopping centres are quite heavily loaded with production technologies, transport mechanisms, stored material or shelf stackers. Regarding simple reinforcement and construction, industrial floors have been used in recent decades mainly reinforced with fibres from so-called fibre-reinforced concrete. Most slab failures are caused by extreme loads on the unbearable subsoil, a small amount of fibres, or by the shrinkage of concrete due to insufficient structural design of sliding, shrinking and expansion joints. Recently, however, in several constructions, structural failures have occurred caused by a volume-unstable subsoil in the form of a mixture of slag or metallurgical debris. The article deals with some failures of fibre concrete floors in practice, their methods of diagnostics and laboratory analysis of samples. The results are supplemented by practical examples of floor failures with respect to their origin.

In Great Britain specialist centres best adapted to people with autism spectrum disorder are rated and accredited by the National Autistic Society. The article presents Multiple Case Study research analyses and compares three building examples. The subject of the research is the analysis of objects from the list that met the inclusion criteria or have been developed as part of the British government programs to improve the quality of education. The research purpose was to analyse and compare the design criteria selected based on literature research. The criteria also influence the development of the functional and utility structure of the centres. Research has been carried out as a "pilot study" and has been conducted using the expert method from the perspective of an architect and therapist of people with autism spectrum disorder. The author has used pre-design studies, technical documentation, and photos as a source material. The analysis revealed that the functional layout in the above-mentioned facilities was designed regarding the sensory gradation of space. The high-stimulus zone and the low-stimulus zone are accessible from a transition zone that is sensory-neutral. Sensory zoning of the space is a guideline for functional design. The model of analysis of the collected data presented as part of the pilot study can be used to develop the research method. It seems advisable to extend the list of design criteria and continue collecting data in order to obtain reliable results.

W Wielkiej Brytanii specjalistyczne ośrodki najlepiej przystosowane dla osób ze spektrum autyzmu otrzymują akredytację stowarzyszenia National Autistic Society. W artykule przedstawiono badanie typu multiple case study wybranych przykładów takich ośrodków. Przedmiotem badania były trzy obiekty z listy, które spełniły kryterium włączenia, zostały rozbudowane w ramach rządowych programów podnoszenia jakości kształcenia. Celem badania była analiza i porównanie wybranych na podstawie badań literaturowych kryteriów projektowych wpływających na kształtowanie struktury funkcjonalno-użytkowej ośrodków. Badanie ma charakter pilotażowy i zostało przeprowadzone metodą ekspercką z perspektywy architekta i terapeuty osób z autyzmem. Wykorzystano materiały źródłowe; badania przedprojektowe, dokumentację techniczną i zdjęcia. Dzięki przeprowadzonej analizie wykazano, że układy funkcjonalne w wyżej wymienionych obiektach zostały zaprojektowane z uwzględnieniem gradacji sensorycznej przestrzeni. Strefa o wysokim bodźcu i strefa o niskim bodźcu są dostępne ze strefy przejściowej, która jest neutralna sensorycznie. Strefowanie sensoryczne przestrzeni jest nadrzędne w stosunku do projektowania funkcjonalnego. Model analizy zebranych danych przedstawiony w ramach badania pilotażowego może posłużyć do rozwijania metody badawczej. Celowe wydaje się rozszerzenie listy kryteriów projektowych i kontynuowanie zbierania danych w celu uzyskania miarodajnych wyników.

This study aims to identify a model for building a resilient supply chain in a company testing engine oil samples. Unstructured face-to-face and structured remote interviews were used as the research methods. The proposed contextual research procedure allows for the elucidation of the content of the components of the final resilient supply chain model and may facilitate theory building on the basis of future multiple case studies. As a result of the research, it was found that at the level of the described chain, its strength and continuity of flow are based on the durability of relationships with suppliers, speed, trust, and information sharing, the role of which has been explained in relation to the nature of the supply chain. Due to the nature of the chain, building its resistance on the basis of agility, which is most often indicated in model approaches, has no justification in this case. It was also established that in this process, 4.0 technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies are more important for management at the level of the entire corporation than at the level of the tested chain. The analysis covered the supply chain embedded in the industry, which (according to the author’s knowledge) was not discussed in the context of logistics processes in world literature. Therefore, the results of the work undertaken are of great cognitive value.

The aim of the paper is to explore the case of the NUP 2X35 strategic analysis campaign conducted by the Polish Armed Forces (PAF) and to identify lessons and best practices from employing the inclusive network approach to the conduct of strategic foresight analysis. The research process is centred around the following research questions: (1) What are the assumptions of the NUP 2X35 campaign of strategic analysis? (2) How was the strategic foresight analysis conducted? (3) What are the lessons and best practices from the campaign? (4) How can the case illustrate the employment of the concepts of a learning organization, open innovation and absorptive capacity in military organizations? The single case study methodology is employed as a framework for analysis. Data for analysis is collected from personal, participatory observations conducted by the authors, analysis of official documents related to NUP 2X35 released to the public, and opinions about the project expressed by key leaders of the Polish Armed Forces. The NUP 2X35 strategic foresight analysis is an interesting example of employing an inclusive, network approach to bring valuable external (civilian) knowledge into military analysis. The case shows how the armed forces recognize external knowledge, establish inclusive communities of interest grouping together military officers and civilian researchers to absorb this knowledge, how knowledge is assimilated and transformed, and finally exploited for the benefit of the Polish Armed Forces, the national defence sector and NATO. Moreover, the military pays back by increasing the awareness and understanding of defence and national security issues among the society.
