Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyse the development of solar energy in Poland against the background of other European countries. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted on data for 22 countries between 2012 and 2020 using dynamic analysis and multivariate analysis in the form of cluster analysis. Findings: Between 2012 and 2020, intensive development of solar energy sources was observed in the 22 countries studied. Although Poland invests very intensively - compared to other countries - in solar technologies (especially in photovoltaics), it does not yet belong to the cluster of high-performing countries in this respect. Originality/value: The article's value is to view the development of solar thermal systems in Poland and Europe from the perspective of a multidimensional analysis, which we conducted in two separate time units. This allowed us to draw conclusions about the development of solar systems in Poland also with regard to time.

Purpose: The paper presents an analysis of a scientific publication with regard to the frequency of words and n-grams. The research problem addressed was the question to what extent the text mining analysis of a scientific publication will allow to infer its content. Design/methodology/approach: The main research method is the analysis of tokenized text using word count functions, bigrams, and trigrams in selected sections of a scientific publication. The results of text mining analysis were compared with the classic, non-automated text analysis of the publication. The presented study is a pilot project in the form of a case study. Findings: The proposed method of analyzing a scientific text using an analysis of the frequency of words and n-grams enables inference of the content of the paper with regard to the names of variables involved in the study, the statistical apparatus used and the key literature cited. It should be observed, however, that the discussed method does not make it possible to establish which variables are moderators and which are mediators. Originality/value: In this paper, the text mining technique was used differently in the discussed study than in previous works. The publication was not examined in its entirety, as previous researchers did, but text mining analysis was applied to individual parts of the paper, i.e. the part discussing theoretical foundations of the research and the part presenting the research method, research results, and their discussion. This allowed for obtaining more precise results regarding the content of the publication.

Purpose: The article presents the results of qualitative research related to answering the question: “How can reporting be supported when there is no access to professional BI tools?”. Design/methodology/approach: The answer to this question was set in the context of the BI layers proposed by Todd (todd 2017). This approach allowed one to determine, in each layer, operations performed on data that support reporting. The main research method was the participation observation made in the author’s involvement in the project management team. Findings: Supporting reporting in project management when there is no access to professional BI tools needs strong technical competences and great creativity by the project management team in using applications such as spreadsheets or database tools. The most helpful functionalities provided by spreadsheets are text and search functions and the data conversion wizard. The most useful functionality provided by database tools was intelligent calculations made by queries and automatic report design provided by MS Access. Originality/value: The paper presents an examination of the set of operations and IT tools needed in a business analysis made in project management in a situation where there is no access to professional BI tools.

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to make the reader aware of how to design dashboards dedicated to project indicator visualization so as to support their digestibility, usability (scannability) and customizability. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this goal, first, a literature review was conducted to identify principles for designing dashboards for this issue. Secondly, a real project management dashboard was built to investigate, in terms of technical issues, which interventions a project management dashboard designer should use to create a useful tool that would support the work of the project team. Findings: The digestibility should address the following issues: 1) the optimal number of visualizations, 2) chart selections in a way that enables adaptation to data and assumed initiated action, 3) color design in the context of best contras, with color-blind users in mind. In addition, the usability (scannability) should be intuitive. Thus, elements related to time widget intervals and click to filter options have to be added. To provide the customizability, the dashboard should be designed to display project indicators tailored to the tasks of a particular project team. Originality/value: New in the paper is an examination of a dashboard digestibility, scannability, and customizability in the area of project indicator visualization.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore why and how generational changes and modern ICT have contributed to the development of didactic methods used by academic teachers in the field of teaching information and communication technologies (ICT). Design/methodology/approach: In-depth interviews were conducted with academic teachers who have been working at a university for 10 to 20 years. They do classes for full-time and part-time students, teaching mainly science subjects. Findings: This article clarifies why and how generational changes and modern ICT have contributed to the development of educational methods used by academic teachers. The article describes three generations of students: X, Y, Z, which are currently undertaking intramural and extramural studies. The report contains an analysis of the results of research concerning the work of contemporary academic teachers in terms of educational methods, teaching materials, methods of communication with students, evaluation, and control methods. The conclusions provided answers to the research questions. Research limitations/implications: The article presents the results of qualitative research, which allowed us to initially determine the characteristics of the phenomenon of generational changes and its influence on the methods of teaching used. In the next stage of the research, the authors intend to conduct surveys among academic teachers and students to explore this topic from the point of view of quantitative analysis. Originality/value: This study indicated that generational changes had transformed the teaching and working methods of academic teachers. However, this transformation does not mean the complete abandonment of previously used teaching methods, but their enrichment with new techniques related to ICT and social media.

Purpose: The article presents the results of qualitative research related to identifying the set of skills needed in project management business analysis. Design/methodology/approach: To recognize the set of skills, it was important to focus on three pivotal issues, starting with specifying which layers of business analysis in project management can be extracted, then answering the question of which IT tools are to be used in this analysis as well, and which skills are needed to perform in it. The main research method was participation observation by way of the author’s involvement in a project management team. Findings: The following layers of business analysis in project management were established: 1) data management, 2) intelligent calculations, 3) delivery mode, 4) consumption device, 5) business enablement. The most important skills are as follows: joining disparate data sources, cleaning data, organizing data better, creating calculations, adjusting visualizations to the tools used by end-users to consume visualizations. MS Excel and MS Access were found to be valuable tools used in this analysis. Originality/value: New in the paper is an examination of the set of skills needed in the project management business analysis in the context of applying MS Excel and MS Access.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop hypotheses regarding the factors shaping the internal motivation of academic teachers to improve their teaching skills. Teaching methods and forms of communication have become the main research context. Design/methodology/approach: The studies were based on the review of literature on motivation theory and pilot surveys. The pilot analysis was based on data visualization methods and factor analysis. Findings: The use of modern communication methods might be correlated to age, and the use of modern teaching methods to gender. The teaching methods and forms of communication with students are influenced by factors related to the need to acquire knowledge and peer pressure. Originality/value The paper stresses an important aspect of the work of an academic teacher which is didactic work, which is not often taken into account in scientific research. The paper attempts to examine the factors that shape the teacher's motivation to improve their working methods in this regard.
