Design/methodology/approach: The article uses literature on communication and results of a survey conducted among the Bank's employees. Findings: Based on an analysis of research results, e-mail can be indicated as the dominant tool in the effective transmission of information at the Bank. In the opinion of employees, the Newsletter was deemed the least effective electronic tool. Research limitations/implications: In the presented literature review, the author used selected databases (Ebsco, CeON). The articles contained there do not exhaust the subject. Analyses were performed on a limited sample, using one diagnostic tool. It should be noted that for internal communication to be effective, the forms and tools existing in organisations need to be examined not so much with the aim of replacing them with others, but to verify the scope, legitimacy and frequency of their use by employees. Considering the growing importance of internal communication in the organisation and the evolution of tools available to organisations, the field for further research is limitless. Originality/value This article contributes to the scientific discussion on the effectiveness of providing information by traditional and electronic means, and verifies their usefulness in financial institutions.

Background: Complexity has been an interesting research area for academics and businesses practices due to its relevance in determining the best practices and impacts to the supply network. The contribution of this research extend to the literature and put forward solutions for the industry since previous studies are neglecting whole network relations, which is highlighted as source of supply network complexity (SNC). Specifically, this research extends to enriching the literature and recommending solutions to the industry players since previous studies are neglecting important Inter Firm Relation (IFR) elements, formal inter-firm relation (FIFR) and informal inter-firm relations (IIFR), which are highlighted as a pertinent factor in this research. In this study, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method was adopted to develop valid attribute for the measurement process and the embeddedness theory was used to evaluate the interrelationships among the proposed attributes. This study found that FIFR and IIFR have different effects towards the formation of SNS and consequently towards SNC. Finally, theoretical and industrial implications are also discussed. Methods: Traditional statistical tools focus on attributes of phenomenon as determinants for occurrence of economic payoff. Thus, traditional statistical analysis is not suitable to measure the impact of relations or connections among member of network contributing to network complexity. For the purpose of this research, the Social Network Analysis methodology was adopted to collect, analyse and interpret network data. Network survey was conducted to collect relational data among members of maritime industry supply network. Network data was analysed and interpreted using specialized social network program i.e. UCINET and NETDRAW. Statistical network measures such as centralization and density was applied to determine the relations between network complexity and network relations. Results: The findings of this study indicate that Inter Firm Relation (IFR), formal inter-firm relation (FIFR) and informal inter-firm relations (IIFR), which are highlighted as a pertinent factor in this research, have different effects towards the formation of SNS and consequently towards SNC. Conclusion: The results of the statistical network analysis indicate that, network complexity exist in different forms and structure, depending on the type of relations that formed the network in the first place. Consequently, what these mean are, managing network requires different types of resource and strategy as the level of the network complexity are different at different states of connectivity.

Wstęp: Kompleksowość jest interesującym tematem badań naukowych w połączeniu z tematem stosowania dobrych praktyk oraz jego wpływu na funkcjonowanie łańcucha dostaw. Praca skupia się na obszarze przemysłu, gdyż jest on stosunkowo mało opracowany w ostatnio publikowanych pracach, gdzie są często pomijane aspekty zależności sieciowych, wpływających na kompleksowość łańcucha dostaw (SNC). W szczególności praca skupia się na elementach wewnętrznych relacji firmowych (IFR), formalnych relacjach wewnątrzfirmowych (FIRF) oraz nieformalnych relacjach wewnątrzfirmowych (IIFR), które są szczególnie potraktowane w prezentowanej pracy. W pracy zastosowano metodę analizy sieci socjalnych (SNA) w zmodyfikowanej formie dla oceny procesu oraz teorii zagnieżdżenia, które zostały użyte do oceny relacji wewnętrznych. W pracy stwierdzono, że FIFR i IIFR mają różny wpływ na formowanie SNS oraz w konsekwencji na kształt SNC. Poddano dyskusji również teoretyczne i przemysłowe implikacje. Metody: Tradycyjne narzędzia statystyczne koncentrują się na wpływu czynników na ekonomiczny wynik. Dlatego też tradycyjna analiza statystyczna nie jest wystarczającą dla pomiaru wpływu relacji i powiązań między członkami sieci na kompleksowość tej sieci. W celu tej oceny, zastosowano metodologię SNA (Social Network Analysis), do zbierania, analizy i interpretacji danych. Dane zebrano na podstawie ankiety pomiędzy członkami łańcucha dostaw obszaru portów morskich. Zebrane dane zostały poddane analizie w specjalistycznym programie UCINET oraz NETDRAW. Do oceny relacji sieciowych oraz kompleksowości zostały użyte wskaźniki statystyczne takie jak centralizacja i gęstość. Wyniki: Wyniki badań wskazały, że relacje wewnątrzfirmowe (IFR), formalne relacje wewnątrzfirmowe (FIRF) oraz nieformalne relacje wewnątrzfirmowe (IIFR), uwzględnione w pracy jako istotne, mają różny wpływ na kształtowanie się SNS oraz w konsekwencji na SNC. Wnioski: Wyniki analizy statystycznej wskazują, że kompleksowość sieci występuje w różnej formie i strukturze, w zależności od typu relacji, kształtującej daną sieć. W konsekwencji, różnego rodzaju zasoby i strategie jak i poziom kompleksowości sieci są różne w różnych etapach połączeń.

The objective of this paper is to define the dimensions of the function of information provision of tax authorities in public levies management. Accomplishment of the objective is based on the example of Poland, however the outcome may be applied intersubjectively in various models of tax administration all over the world. Critical review of the relevant literature has been employed as a methodological basis in combination with gradual concretization and comparative analysis as part of making inferences. It has also been assumed that the function of information provision of tax authorities is composed of an internal part as well as an external one, which is being developed on the level: tax authorities – tax management bodies. Therefore, a research hypothesis has been put forward stating that the function of information provision of tax authorities is heavily deformed, carried out selectively, and with no reflection on performance. The obtained research results testify to that and allow to indicate that the dimensions of this function overlap and not always co-contribute to subsidiarity in meeting tax obligations and simultaneously state interventionism marked by penalization of criminal offences. An undoubted theoretical contribution is a proposition of the dimensions of the function of information provision of tax authorities, enriched with possibilities for different management of intellectual capital as well as execution of the law on public levies. The results of this study may be of use to broadly defined tax administration, students, and researchers studying socioeconomic processes.

The analysis of conditions how contemporary military operations are conducted and changes that take place in the Polish Armed Forces’ structures leads to a conclusion that the execution of tasks is closely connected with the necessity to use more and more advanced technical assets to transmit information. This should also be reflected in the ways information is exchanged between personnel on command posts (CPs) on land forces’ tactical level. The reorganization of command structures and new positions in command subunits enforces rethinking of information transmission (orders, decisions) and information security during combat operations. CP commands, organized by command battalions, have a special role to play in this process. Research made in this area shows that only a properly constructed organizational and functional structure of these sub-units and equipping them in modern communication and IT assets allow meeting the challenges of the modern battlefield (area of operation - AOR). Therefore it is appropriate to make an analysis of future command sub-units and information links organized by them in the superior’s command system in reference to the conditions of a future battlefield (AOR). The article deals with the possibilities to apply structural and technical solutions to transmit information for the needs of command posts and communication hubs from the battalion level to the division including. The author presents information links and correlation between different elements of command and control structures that are reflected on CPs. He also shows possible directions of development and changes in this aspect in relation to commanders’ needs and expectations. At the same time, the necessity to meet operational, technical and exploitation requirements is stressed. In addition, the capability to exchange information in centric network environment is discussed.

In the times of modern information society, smoking chimneys of factories were replaced by tangled wires, computer screens, keyboards and computer mice. Certain activities do not even require human participation as they have been automated. The man is replaced by a robot, computer or a machine. The development of new technologies necessitates the change of social behaviour. People have to gain new qualifications and the new reality requires them to learn new skills. The duties which used to be commonly performed by man are now carried out by technology - more effective, stable and reliable. Nowadays the man stops being “the manufacturer” of goods he uses as he becomes “the supervisor” of new technologies and machines which do everything for him. Using new technologies in acquiring, transforming and transmitting information is the key element of Network Centric Operational Picture. The effectiveness of information acquisition, transformation and transmission in constantly growing. This trend seems to be stronger and stronger. New systems taking advantage of the state-of-the-art technologies and discoveries in physics are being developed. For instance the sources mention the importance of applying robots, concentrated energy, plasma and membrane technology, electronic carriers and laser damage and ultrasound weapon (USW). Such directions of development stress what the Gulf War has shown that in the future war the quality will beat the quantity.

Two national project for development of an artificial heart system are being undertaken in Japan, and Hokkaido Tokai University has taken part in both national projects in order to develop peripheral devices of an implantable VAD (ventricular assist device) system. Each of the peripheral devices incIudes a transcutaneous energy transmission system, an internal battery system, and a transcutaneous information transmission system. Maximum energy transmission efficiency of the transcutaneous energy transmission system is over 85% (DC to DC) at an energy transmission ratio of 25 W. The internal battery system mainly consists of three lithium ion batteries, a charge circuit, and a power interface (case size of 11Ox80x30 mm). The internal battery system can drive a VAD for over 2 hours with maximum battery case surface temperature of 43°C. The information transmission system (diameter of 52 mm and thickness of 12 mm) mainly consists of an ASK modulator and an ASK demodulator employing carrier frequencies of 4 MHz and 10 MHz. It can transmit data electromagnetically between inside and outside of the body bi-directionally at a data transmission ratio of 56 kbps. Long-term animal experiments showed that each peripheral device has adequate performance to support the operation of implantable VAD.
