Content available Strategic management in conditions of uncertainty
EN
Purpose: to analyse the variables influencing the construction of a new approach in the strategic management process of an enterprise operating under uncertainty. As a theoretical background for the research, the 'valued' concepts related to business management occurring in the global economy were used, i.e. the concepts of knowledge economy, network organisation, sustainable development, time management and social participation. Design/methodology/approach: it is necessary to use methods in practice for research in management science based on observation of facts and the classification used in the methodology of inductive sciences such as: • observation carried out under natural conditions and interaction with the companies under investigation, • observation-intervention which takes place within the framework of transformation activities in companies, and the researcher has a direct influence on the decisions made in this respect. This implies the need to combine scientific and practical objectives. Findings: The market has forced a move away from the traditional business management approach to task-focused teams, where today's boss may be his subordinate's subordinate tomorrow, because that is better for the objectives of a particular project. These groups will be interdisciplinary, according to the nature of the task, and their participants will gain a pretty good knowledge of what the other partners are up to and will be prepared enough to replace them with dignity in forced situations. This approach offers an opportunity for the company to adapt more quickly to dynamic changes in the environment. Research limitations/implications: The research should address the development of a tool to support the selection of methods and approaches for the strategic management process under uncertainty. Practical implications: The authors have identified only some of the determinants of strategic management under uncertainty, such as the knowledge economy, sustainable development, network structure in the enterprise, time management, soft factors in the management process under uncertainty - emotional intelligence. The research should not only develop new approaches in the process of strategic management, but also identify management methods that should primarily be applied under conditions of uncertainty. Originality/value: In the conditions of pandemics and wars, it is necessary to develop a flexible approach to the process of strategic corporate management. It is also necessary to develop or modify existing management methods for these difficult times of dynamic change in the environment.

Content available Research processes and methodological triangulation
EN
Purpose: The aim of the article was to verify whether methodological triangulation supports research processes in management science. Design/methodology/approach: In order to verify the hypothesis, quantitative research (survey questionnaire) and qualitative research (interview questionnaire) were conducted. Quantitative research was addressed to a group of management science theoreticians being a target group. As a result of the research effort undertaken, 401 representatives of management science theoreticians were examined. Findings: The statistical conclusions of the research conducted among management scientists clearly show that a significant proportion (66%) believes that methodological triangulation is a necessary condition in the research process. Moreover, as many as 82% of the above mentioned respondents claim that triangulation supports the research process. Originality/value: It is necessary to use a variety of testing methods that provide a comprehensive response to the posed research problem.

The article presents the essence of the method of value stream mapping on the example of a selected production process in an automotive company. The analysis presented in the paper concerned the indication of potential organizational possibilities of actions aimed at implementing changes in the organization based on the results of measuring the process with the use of the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) indicator. All stages of the production process were explained, which allowed to obtain the results of the process efficiency analyses. Further on, the results of the analysis of process improvement in accordance with the PDCA approach are discussed. The significance of establishing the method in order to improve the functioning of the process and the meaning and usage of the value stream mapping methodology in building successful relations with the end customer were emphasized. The undertaken activities constitute a research gap defined as follows: the effectiveness of management methods in an organization depends on the efficiency of using the applied indicators and reacting to changes. Thus, defining models with potential application capabilities in order to increase management effectiveness is one of the most important issues in the area of enterprise organization.

Family businesses play a crucial role in the Polish economy, making up around 36% of the entire SME sector. The development of family companies has been connected to various dilemma, concerning, among others, their continuity and succession. In Polish family-owned businesses, there has appeared a long-expected moment of handing over power to the upcoming generations, i.e. to the so-called Y generation that is now pursuing their university studies. The author of the article has presented the characteristics of ‘Y’ generation successors, with a special emphasis on their distinctive features, as well as backing statistical data. The main core of the paper includes a proposal of a university programme for future managers of family companies.

The aim of this paper was to indicate prerequisites for successful succession in a family company from the successor’s point of view. The author presented the methods used to assess the conditions of the succession process with the use of observations and an individual semi-structured interview. Particular emphasis was placed on the influence of being brought-up in an entrepreneurial family on the further development of the successor’s professional career. Special consideration was given to finding out why a successor chose a particular area of education and what the parents’ influence on was shaping his/her entrepreneurial attitudes. The author underlined the role of emotional intelligence, as the latter is a part of the successor’s competencies. In this field, the author defined the competencies that are of crucial importance for the given process. The author enumerated factors affecting the succession process to the greatest extent, and the key role of the senior member in ensuring the continuity of the family company was also shown. Furthermore, the paper indicated the course of the succession process in the family business, as the former should be a comprehensive, long-term, and meticulously planned process in which (apart from the formal requirements and competencies) one should take into consideration family values, rules of the behavior and traditions of the company.
