The paradigm of enterprise management based on the subordination of the management system to the requirements of effective value creation has made the maximisation of company value a determinant of the concept of doing business and a guarantee of the long-term existence of the company on the market. The active creation of value is a unique task for shareholders. Shareholders have the largest share in the area of internal factors that directly affect the competitiveness of the company. The aim of the research was to identify areas where shareholders have an influence on building the longterm ability of an IT company to create its value. The Delphi method (heuristic method) was applied. The participants (a panel of experts from a given area) represented a selected professional group. The objects of the study were companies from the IT sector operating internationally, and fulfilling the criteria of the company category, while their shareholders fulfil the criteria of the shareholder typology category.

Aktywne tworzenie wartości jest wyjątkowym zadaniem dla akcjonariuszy. Akcjonariusze mają największy udział w obszarze czynników wewnętrznych, które bezpośrednio wpływają na konkurencyjność przedsiębiorstwa. Celem badania była identyfikacja obszarów, w których akcjonariusze mają wpływ na budowanie długoterminowej zdolności spółki sektora IT do kreowania swojej wartości. Zastosowano metodę Delficką (metoda heurystyczna). Uczestnicy (panel ekspertów z danej dziedziny) reprezentowali wybraną grupę zawodową. Przedmiotem badania były spółki z sektora IT działające w skali międzynarodowej, spełniające kryteria kategorii spółka, natomiast ich akcjonariusze spełniali kryteria kategorii typologia akcjonariuszy.

Introduction/background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in today’s business environment, but operation of AI devices may pose a risk to purchasers of products incorporating the AI or recipients of services using the AI. This risk must be taken into account by the entrepreneur in his or her business activity. For this to happen, the entrepreneur must know the legal regime under which he or she will be held liable in the event of damage caused by the AI he or she uses. Aim of the paper: The article is devoted to a critical analysis of the draft Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on liability for the operation of artificial intelligence systems contained in the resolution of the European Parliament of 20 October 2020 with recommendations to the Commission on the liability regime for artificial intelligence (2020/2014 (INL)). Materials and methods: The considerations in this article are based on the literature on the subject and on the European Parliament proposed a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on liability for the operation of artificial intelligence systems. These materials have been subjected to critical analysis. Results and conclusions: The conducted analysis leads the author to the conclusion that the proposed regulation introducing different liability regimes corresponds to the specificity of AI, and compulsory insurance for high-risk AI system operators is an important step towards securing the interests of the aggrieved party, however, limiting the operator's liability at the proposed level does not sufficiently guarantee protection of the interests of the victims. The author is also critical of the fact that the regulation links the compensation for personal injury to the economic consequences of the infringement of personal rights, does not regulate the issue of the causal link between the operation of AI systems and the damage and the difficulties of proof faced by victims of the operation of AI systems. Consequently, the author questions the advisability of regulating civil liability for the actions of artificial intelligence systems at EU level in the form of a regulation, when it would be sufficient to allow individual Member States to regulate this matter while harmonizing national regulations by means of a directive.

Organizational management processes reflect capital allocation in a given business as well as in the macroeconomic space at large. In practice, macroeconomic forces acting on a given economy will depend on economic policy pursued by the state. Under the currently prevalent neoliberal outlook on market economy and its mechanisms, the impact of macroeconomic forces is confined to creating a specific socio-economic environment in which businesses operate, and to defining the economic content of (the category of) production efficiency. The paper attempts to depict the influence of macroeconomic forces on the criteria for assessing business performance that impinge indirectly on corporate management processes. The discussion leads to a proposition that while macroeconomic policy founded on neoliberal premises might well be conducive to business activity, it could be, in the long run, detrimental to individuals and to society at large.

The following were devoted to implementation of the objectiveof the study: 1. Expert studies performed using 3-round Delphi method whose aim was operationalization of the variables of the conceptual model and its preliminary verification based on expert knowledge and intuition. 2. A survey on a sample of 1,741 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, including the 1217 Polish entities and 524 companies from 21 other selected countries in the European Union. The primary objective of this part of the study was quantitative empirical verification of the proposed conceptual model. 3. Research in the form of a case study in 6 deliberately selected SME sector companies operating in Poland. The goal was qualitative (descriptive) presentation and comparison of the standard and anti-standard solutions used within the conceptual model developed. The paper is divided into five main parts. The first one was devoted to the possibilities and directions of application of the potential of the environment in managing the development of SMEs. The second part of the paper focuses on theoretical grounds for support absorption in the development processes of the smallest operators. The third section presents the research methods used and defines the scope of empirical work carried out. The next part of the paper presents the results of a survey conducted on a sample of the SME sector companies in the European Union, and the last part presents the report on the empirical studies carried out in the form of a case study. The issues undertaken in the paper are significant for those entrepreneurs who implement development plans through acquisition and exploitation (absorption) of the external support. Studies have shown that the SME sector companies pursue absorption activity with varying intensity. For companies with a strong commitment to this type of activity, it is recommended to adopt the proposed strategic approach to the absorption of support (along with the development of specific resources and skills shaping its level). According to the model, the orientation allows for significant intensification of the benefits which can be used in the processes of managing the development of the SME sector companies. The facilitation also includes the course of absorption activity without the necessity of a significant increase in its scope. The appointment of rules and factors influencing the strategic approach to support absorption should be considered to be a particularly important result of the project for the development of management sciences, together with an indication and empirical verification of the effects of this approach for the development processes of the SMEs. The proposed approach is embedded in the framework of quantitative and qualitative specificity of SMEs and associated with the evolution of strategic thinking in the direction of a dynamic and proactive approach based on occasions and contextual analysis of the internal and external conditions of functioning of these entities. This is a contribution to the development of the concepts and models of management of development of micro, small and medium enterprises, which emphasize the importance of the interaction between the organization and its environment. The analyses allowed for verification of 7 research hypotheses, thus significantly contributing to implementation of the objectives of the paper and to the answers to the research questions. The detailed findings and weaknesses (limitations) of research carried out and directions for further research are presented in the conclusion of the dissertation.
