Purpose: identification of the original concept of compulsory governance structure. Design/methodology/approach: institutions that legally compel owners to entrust the governance of the firm to an independent outsider were sought. Their features were subjected to a cluster analysis in a form of Czekanowski's diagram. Based on Coase theorem, a definition is proposed. Findings: the compulsory governance structure is a regulatory mechanism aimed at neutralizing the social cost for stakeholders caused by ineffective firm. It introduces an external manager to the firm, who under special powers aims to remove the causes of inefficiency. During compulsory governance structure collateral transaction costs are internalized by the firm and transformed into additional coordination costs. The second finding is an observation that firm’s ineffectiveness might be measured by the level of stakeholders transaction costs. Research limitations/implications: relying solely on manifestations of compulsory governance structure in Poland. Originality/value: identification of a new research unit called compulsory governance structure and noting the relationship between firm ineffectiveness and stakeholders transaction costs.

The paper aims to develop and apply a methodological approach that could help to reveal incentives and future strategies of key National Innovation System (NIS) players considering the influence of global social, economic, scientific, technological and ecological trends. To fulfil this aim, a blended foresight methodology was applied, grounded on the platform of economic and classic foresight theory and considering four possible directions for using foresight methods: investigating and building a common vision; supporting evidence-based decisions; promoting communication and participation; inducing transformation and integration into the decision-making process. The main results and findings of the research include a list of 19 global trends, defined from literature analysis and the author’s expert knowledge, a short description of their influence on key NIS players, including society, business, infrastructure and institutions, science, education and government; and mapping more than 35 different foresight methods that could be used for revealing incentives and future strategies of key NIS players. The article’s theoretical contribution to economic theory consists of several parts. First, a NIS conception is examined through the prism of global trends and a dynamic aspect, whereas it is mostly investigated from statistical and static perspectives. Second, applying foresight as an instrument for researching NIS as a system is a developing academic area with some theoretical gaps, considered in this article by designing a conceptional research framework. Third, blending different foresight methods is always a craft, and the approach applied in this article contributes to it. Finally, the article presents several important trends which will appear in NIS and its key players’ transformation in the nearest 5–10 years. From practical implications, this article could be useful for proactive policymakers in the field of science, technology and innovation policy at national and regional levels for designing and providing measures for supporting innovation systems effectively. Foresight practitioners and experts are offered useful, practical ideas of different foresight methods and their possible combinations for everyday activities.

Artykuł stanowi analityczne studium zmian charakteru współczesnej logistyki. Rozważania zostały skoncentrowane na rozpoznaniu współczesnej wielowymiarowości logistyki jako dyscypliny wiedzy oraz zbioru praktycznych działań. Dokonano tego przywołując dorobek nowej ekonomii instytucjonalnej. Kwestia wielowymiarowości logistyki rozpatrzona została przez pryzmat elementów strukturalnych paradygmatu ekonomiki instytucjonalnej, to jest „ceremonii społecznych”, „technologii”, „filozofii” oraz „środowiska” otoczonego własnym „pasem bezpieczeństwa”, będącego ich otoczeniem. Charakterystyka została oparta na przypisanym im zbiorze zasadniczych wyznaczników. Takie podejście ma argumenty w przeszłości i w teraźniejszości.

The article “An attempted neo-institutional look at the multi-dimensionality of modern logistics” is an analytical study of changes in the nature of modern logistics. Note that the discussion was focused on the identification of modern multidimensional logistics as a discipline of knowledge and a set of practical actions. This was done recalling the achievements of the new institutional economics. The issue was considered as multidimensional logistics through the prism of structural elements of the paradigm of institutional economy, it is “social ceremony”; “technology”; “philosophy” and “environment” surrounded by their own “safety belt” which is their surroundings. Characterisation was done on the basis of their assigned set of fundamental determinants. This approach has produced arguments in the past and in the present.
