Content available Management – between economy, polity, and ethics
EN
Purpose: The author of this text shares the opinion (expressed by quite a number of social researches) that the practical impact of social sciences on social practice, and particularly – on mankind’s responding to the global challenges, is not satisfying. Enhancement of this influence can be viewed as one of these challenges. An analysis of the causes of the situation characterized above is required to achieve this goal. Such an analysis is outlined in this text and some its tentative practical implications are indicated. In other words, it could be said that the goal of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the current state of the management studies and management education. Design/methodology/approach: This text belongs to the area where meet the philosophy of social sciences and their history. Thus, this text is based on historical description and on analysis of the described processes. Logical analysis connected with explication of axiological (ethical) assumptions allows to formulate some practical suggestions as to the further development of management studies and the (academic) education of the future managers. Findings: The role of the emerging interdisciplinary theory of collective action – as basis for both research and academic education in practically oriented social sciences – has been exposed and justified in this text. Research limitations/implications: Further historical and analytical studies seem to be necessary. Practical implications: Some changes in the organization (defining research problems, methodologies etc.) of the research practice of social sciences in general, and of management studies in particular, as well as changes in studies programs might be planned and accepted if arguments presented in this paper are at least partly convincing. Social implications: The text, suggesting and inspiring some changes in the education of managers, might also have some indirect impact on the quality of politics, self-government, or civil-society organization. Originality/value: The paper contains an idea of management studies as an interdisciplinary science connecting elements of traditional management theory with sociology, political sciences and economics. The idea, and also its justification, seems to be rather new. The paper is addressed to the representatives of various social sciences interested in interdisciplinary cooperation.

The management of contemporary health systems is a problem of many countries, which consists not only of issues related to the establishment of the roles of institutions involved in their functioning, the allocation of funds, asymmetry of information, or access to health services. Problems of the all system often result from faulty management of particular health institutions, and more specifically from the lack of agreement between the management staff, medical staff and patients. The proposed study is an attempt to systematize the roles assigned recently to physicians and patients on the one hand, on the other - a presentation of non-standard solutions in this area, which are the existing cooperatives in health care in the world. The issue of jointly implemented by both groups of objectives and adaptation of the idea of cooperatives to the management process was justified by the theory of common pool resources and the game theory.

Content available remote Internet Contamination as a Global Harm and a Social Problem
EN
This position paper demonstrates that the global and cumulative cost of dealing with spam is at the level of some natural disasters. Internet email has been a very powerful new technology with enormous social and scientific benefits. However, Internet contamination has currently become a serious social problem. In particular, email spam is a significant irritant and personal stressor which impairs quality of life. Technology solutions, such as filtering tools, are useful but imperfect as they are either too tight or too loose and require their own daily management. Spam volume has impaired daily operations of individual computers and causes servers to crash. It also threatens data integrity as important messages are often filtered along with the unwanted ones. Excessive Internet usage already can threaten mental health and the huge growth of spam only threatens to make the problem intolerable in the very near future. Spam is driven by profit. Social solutions, such as collective action, are needed as spam is a global threat and needs to be prosecuted as a serious threat to security.
