Purpose: One of the most important challenges of civilization in the contemporary world is obtaining the goals of sustainable development. This challenge is addressed to present and future generations who have to possess or acquire various sustainable development competencies. Shaping them is particularly essential in the case of generation Z, thus it should take place both in the process of academic education, as well as in cooperation with university stakeholders. The aim of the paper is to answer the question of whether the implementation of students’ internships enables shaping sustainable development competencies. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted in Poland in 2022 among 367 full-time students in the management field of study. The CAWI method was used. The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the obtained data. In the theoretical part of the article, the author explained the essence and goals of sustainable development, described sustainable development competencies, and the role of higher education and stakeholders in shaping the SD competencies of Generation Z. Findings: Generation Z has a positive attitude towards the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and almost all of the studied sustainable development goals are of great importance to the respondents. The obtained results confirmed that the implementation of internships in a real work environment affects the shape of many SD competencies of students. The greatest opportunities for the development of SD competencies were provided to interns by business organisations and administration, while less importance was assigned to such stakeholders as NGOs. Students expect the cooperation of the university and its stakeholders in shaping their SD competencies. Research limitations/implications: The size of the surveyed group does not allow for the formulation of general conclusions. However, the obtained results may be the basis for further in-depth studies on the problem. Similar research could be conducted to establish the opinion of employers and university representatives with a broader consideration of other variables. Practical implications: The conclusions of the study will provide universities and various stakeholders with valuable information on the possibility of using student internships to develop SD competencies of representatives of Generation Z. Originality/value: The obtained results allow one to fill the research gap concerning the assessment of whether the realization of student internships in a real work environment enables shaping students' competencies in the field of sustainable development.

The aim of the paper is to present the implementation cases of mobility as a service (MaaS) in Finland and Sweden, as well as in Poland. The first part of the article pertains to explain the concept of MaaS and determinants of development in urban transportation, including the complexity of the analysed problem, with particular emphasis on integration of various stakeholders. The second part presents connections between MaaS and the concept and goals of sustainable development. The authors of the paper are convinced that user-oriented and multimodal mobility services may prove an effective alternative (or complement) to private transportation. It may also promote a shift towards sustainable means of transport and more effective use of transportation networks. Therefore, MaaS is perceived as a tool for reducing congestion and negative environmental impacts. The MaaS concept can become a part of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP). The third part of the article is empirical and presents application of MaaS in sustainable urban mobility based on two European case studies: Helsinki and Stockholm – concerned as the leading cities in terms of MaaS implementation. The last part of the study is devoted to the analysis of the MaaS implementation level in Polish cities.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie przypadków wdrażania mobilności jako usługi (MaaS, ang. Mobility as a Service) w Finlandii, Szwecji, jak również w Polsce. Pierwsza część artykułu dotyczy rozumienia pojęcia MaaS oraz determinant rozwoju w transporcie miejskim. Pokazano również złożoność badanego zagadnienia, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem integracji interesariuszy różnego typu. W drugiej części usługę MaaS powiązano z koncepcją i celami zrównoważonego rozwoju. W opinii autorów artykułu, zorientowana na użytkownika oraz multimodalna usługa mobilnościowa może stanowić efektywną alternatywę (bądź też uzupełnienie) dla transportu prywatnego. Może również promować zrównoważone środki transportu i bardziej efektywne wykorzystanie sieci transportowych. Z tego względu usługa MaaS jest obecnie postrzegana jako narzędzie służące zmniejszeniu zatorów komunikacyjnych i negatywnego wpływu transportu na środowisko. Może także stać się częścią Planu Zrównoważonej Mobilności Miejskiej (SUMP, ang. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan). Trzecia część artykułu ma charakter empiryczny i przedstawia zastosowanie MaaS w zrównoważonej mobilności miejskiej na dwóch przykładach europejskich, tj. Helsinek i Sztokholmu – miast będących liderami we wdrażaniu usługi MaaS. Ostatnia część artykułu, także empiryczna, przedstawia rozpoznanie autorów dotyczące implementacji MaaS w polskich miastach.

Cel: Badania miały na celu zaprezentowanie i przeanalizowanie przypadku dostosowania wymagań norm ISO 9001:2015 w zakresie identyfikacji kontekstu działania i określania ryzyk w małym przedsiębiorstwie produkcyjnym Eurobent oraz wskazanie podstawowych problemów napotykanych w czasie wykonywania tych działań. Projekt badania/metodyka badawcza/koncepcja: Podstawowymi metodami badawczymi była analiza literaturowa, analiza dokumentów wewnętrznych organizacji, metoda obserwacji uczestniczącej oraz metody wnioskowania logicznego. Wyniki/wnioski: Ostatnia edycja normy ISO 9001 wprowadziła wymaganie m.in. ustalenia kontekstu działania oraz ryzyk. W artykule przedstawiono konkretny przypadek wdrożenia wymagań normy w tym zakresie w małym przedsiębiorstwie produkcyjnym Eurobent, w którym zadanie to potraktowano jako jeden z czterech etapów wdrażania podejścia opartego na ryzyku. Jako metodę wspomagającą określenie zewnętrznego kontekstu działania przyjęto metodę PESTEL. Zidentyfikowano cztery elementy wewnętrznego kontekstu działania. Określono wymagania i oczekiwania interesariuszy oraz 39 potencjalnych ryzyk. Dla kluczowych ryzyk przygotowano matryce ryzyka i opracowano plany postępowania z ryzykami. Główne problemy napotykane w czasie opracowywania kontekstu działania i ryzyk wynikały głównie z ograniczeń pracy w małej organizacji. Ograniczenia: Wyniki badania przeprowadzonego w jednej małej organizacji, funkcjonującej w określonym ekosystemie, nie mogą być uogólniane. Zastosowanie praktyczne: Przedstawiony przypadek wdrażania wymagań normy ISO 9001 w zakresie identyfikacji kontekstu działania i ryzyk może posłużyć jako wzorzec dobrych praktyk dla małych przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych, szczególnie z zakresu produkcji budowlanej. Oryginalność/wartość poznawcza: Przedstawiony przypadek jest unikatowy. Największą wartością poznawczą artykułu jest fakt, że porusza problematykę praktycznego wdrażania podejścia opartego na ryzyku w małym przedsiębiorstwie.

Purpose: The research aimed to present and analyse a case study of the adaptation of ISO 9001:2015 requirements for the identification of the context of the organization and the determination of risks in the small manufacturing company Eurobent, and to identify the main problems encountered when performing these activities. Design/methodology/approach: The main research methods were: the analysis of literature, the analysis of the organisation’s internal documents, the participant observation, and logical inference. Findings/conclusions: The latest edition of ISO 9001 introduced the requirement to, among other things, establish the context of operations and risks. This paper presents a specific case of the implementation of the standard’s requirements in this respect in the small manufacturing company Eurobent, where this task was treated as one of the four steps of implementing a risk-based approach. As a supporting method to identify the external context of the activity, the PESTEL method was adopted. Four elements of the internal operating context were identified. Stakeholder requirements and expectations and 39 potential risks were identified. Risk matrices were prepared for the key risks and plans were developed to deal with the risks. The main problems encountered during the development of the operating context and risks were mainly due to the limitations of working in a small organisation. Research limitations: The results of a study done in one small organisation operating in a specific ecosystem cannot be generalised. Practical applications: The presented case of the implementation of ISO 9001 requirements with regard to the identification of the context of organization and risks can be a good practice model for small manufacturing companies, especially in the field of construction production. Originality/value: The presented case is unique. The greatest cognitive value of the article is that it addresses the practical implementation of a risk-based approach in a small company.

In Moroccan family SMEs, a critical managerial challenge emerges the disparity between the latent potential for CSR adoption and the barriers encountered in practice. This paper aims to investigate the perceptions, drivers, and barriers that hinder CSR practices within this context. By delving into these intricacies, the present research seeks not only to explore but also to provide valuable insights to family SMEs and policymakers that can bridge the gap and contribute to effective CSR integration. Thus, qualitative and exploratory approach was conducted based on face-to-face interviews with 10 Moroccan family firm CEOs and owners. The results reveal that family SMEs in Morocco are characterized by informal, spontaneous, and unconscious CSR practices. They perceive several motives and outcomes to CSR adoption on both firm and family levels. However, some barriers to CSR adoption were identified, including the firm size, financial resources, the perception of CSR as optional rather than mandatory, and a predominant focus on compliance rather than proactive engagement. Resistance to change was also observed, underscoring the importance of raising awareness and fostering support and guidance to family SMEs. Exploring the perceptions about the factors that impede or facilitate the adoption of CSR in an emerging context such as Morocco offers valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in promoting sustainable and responsible business practices within the family SMEs of Morocco.

W marokańskich rodzinnych MŚP krytycznym wyzwaniem menedżerskim jest rozbieżność między ukrytym potencjałem przyjęcia CSR a barierami napotykanymi w praktyce. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zbadanie percepcji, czynników i barier, które utrudniają praktyki CSR w tych warunkach. Zagłębiając się w te zawiłości, badanie ma na celu nie tylko zbadanie, ale także dostarczenie cennych informacji rodzinnym MŚP i decydentom, które mogą wypełnić lukę bsdswczą i przyczynić się do skutecznej integracji CSR. W związku z tym zastosowano jakościowe i eksploracyjne techniki oparte na bezpośrednich wywiadach z 10 marokańskimi prezesami i właścicielami firm rodzinnych. Wyniki pokazują, że rodzinne MŚP w Maroku charakteryzują się nieformalnymi, spontanicznymi i nieświadomymi praktykami CSR. Identyfikuje się kilka motywów i rezultatów przyjęcia CSR zarówno na poziomie firmy, jak i rodziny. Zidentyfikowano jednak pewne bariery dla przyjęcia CSR, w tym wielkość firmy, zasoby finansowe, postrzeganie CSR jako opcjonalnego, a nie obowiązkowego modelu oraz dominujący nacisk na zgodność, a nie proaktywne zaangażowanie. Zaobserwowano również opór wobec zmian, co podkreśla znaczenie podnoszenia świadomości oraz wspierania wsparcia i doradztwa dla rodzinnych MŚP. Badanie postrzegania czynników, które utrudniają lub ułatwiają przyjęcie CSR w kontekście wschodzącym, takim jak Maroko, oferuje cenne informacje dla praktyków, decydentów i badaczy zainteresowanych promowaniem zrównoważonych i odpowiedzialnych praktyk biznesowych w rodzinnych MŚP w Maroku.

Purpose: The growing complexity of the environment in which they operate causes modern enterprises, including various types of organizations, to develop competitive management models aimed at meeting the expectations of various groups of stakeholders involved in their activitiesin the long-term perspective. This article focuses on the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the activities of the municipal housing manager in the context of its stakeholders. The study examines how stakeholders (employees, resource residents, entrepreneurs) perceive the city's housing manager's CSR activities. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, in addition to the analysis of the literature on the subject, the results of the survey conducted in the first and second quarter of 2022 among 363 stakeholders of the municipal housing manager were used. In the study, the impartiality test χ2 and the coefficient of T Czuprow convergence were used, with the significance level α = 0.05. Findings: The results suggest that each of the three selected groups of stakeholders perceive the necessity of CSR activities differently. The group that is the most interested in such activities are employees, the inhabitants of resources expect only actions aiming to improve the quality of their lives, and therefore actions within the aspect of local responsibility. Entrepreneurs in turn, are interested in activities in the social, external and environmental aspects. In addition, the results of these studies may contribute to the state of knowledge in the scientific literature by pointing to the importance of CSR activities by entities not focused on maximizing profits. Originality/value: It can be expected that the developed models will help decision makers of city housing managers to gain a perception of the stakeholder's awareness of and attitudes towards the CSR concept.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present part of a report on stakeholder analysis (indicating the importance of stakeholder identification and prioritisation) in projects implemented by sustainability-oriented teams. Design/methodology/approach: The results were obtained based on a focus group interview with forty-eight participants - representtatives of different organisations, experienced in project management and possessing expertise on the tourism industry in Pomerania. The study was carried out in Gdańsk, from May to September 2021. Findings: The results of the study showed that an effective policy regarding sustainable development measures should be based on intensive stakeholder outreach. The determinant of this effectiveness is to entail proper and comprehensive stakeholder identification, which can play a key role in the success of any investment. Research limitations/implications: The purpose of the marketing research on stakeholder identification and mapping is to provide insights on the public opinion in this regard. In the course of the study, some limitations were recognised. Firstly, the sampling techniques involving audience generation and data filtering, such as data collection from only those persons who had participated in a focus survey, certainly resulted in a bias in the type of the data collected. Secondly, the study, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, was limited to 2021 only, and despite the implementation of selected projects in five countries in the South Baltic region, it was conducted in Poland exclusively, due to limited travel possibilities. Practical implications: The research was commissioned by a real project team and concerned the operating environment of the tourism enterprises in the Pomerania region. The survey results were applied in practice and served as a project implementation indicator. Social implications: The research topic of stakeholder identification as a component of sustainable development policy undoubtedly has impact on the society. This is because it leads to the promotion of an approach that takes the balance between the actions undertaken for the environment and the local community as well as corporate profit generation into account. Originality/value: It is the first study of this kind (on the Polish market at the least), examining the sustainable development approach in international projects, in the context of stakeholder outreach.

The poor energy situation in most African countries manifests itself in very low access to energy and high energy poverty. To address these problems, and drive towards achieving universal energy access, African nations have, in recent time, directed attention to governance issues in energy resource development through building relevant institutions, strengthening legal frameworks, designing policies, ensuring cooperation, and harnessing investments. The concern for a governance approach to energy development is partly due to the submission that the core reason for poor energy delivery is ineffective energy governance. This study is based on Southern Africa and intends to examine the current energy access situation and explore the existing energy governance initiatives. The study used three measures of energy access (national, rural and urban) and energy consumption in order to examine the existing energy situation. The governance actions were examined by looking at national energy policies, energy partnerships (private sector, development partners), and sub-regional power pools. The study observes that the generally poor energy situation in Africa is evident in the Southern African countries. Governance actions are found to be multisource and multilevel. While these actions confirm the seriousness of the stakeholders in addressing the poor energy situation; results have been minimal. Thus, there is a need for more vigorous efforts in implementing the energy policies, engaging the private sector and creating productive cooperation among energy delivery stakeholders.

Zła sytuacja energetyczna w większości krajów afrykańskich objawia się bardzo niskim dostępem do energii i wysokim ubóstwem energetycznym. Aby rozwiązać te problemy i dążyć do osiągnięcia powszechnego dostępu do energii, narody afrykańskie w ostatnim czasie zwróciły uwagę na kwestie zarządzania rozwojem zasobów energetycznych poprzez tworzenie odpowiednich instytucji, wzmacnianie ram prawnych, opracowywanie polityk, zapewnianie współpracy i wykorzystywanie inwestycji. Troska o podejście do zarządzania rozwojem energii wynika częściowo z twierdzenia, że głównym powodem niskiego dostępu do energii jest nieskuteczne zarządzanie. Ta praca dotyczy południowej części Afryki i ma na celu zbadanie obecnej sytuacji w zakresie dostępu do energii oraz zbadanie istniejących inicjatyw w zakresie zarządzania energią. W celu zbadania istniejącej sytuacji energetycznej wykorzystano trzy miary zużycia energii (w skali kraju, w obszarach wiejskich i miejskich). Działania związane z zarządzaniem zostały przeanalizowane poprzez analizę krajowych polityk energetycznych; partnerstwa energetycznego (sektor prywatny; partnerzy na rzecz rozwoju) oraz subregionalne obszary energetyczne. W badaniu zauważono, że ogólnie zła sytuacja energetyczna w Afryce uwidacznia się w szczególności w krajach Afryki Południowej. Okazuje się, że działania zarządcze są wieloźródłowe i wielopoziomowe. Chociaż potwierdzają one, że interesariusze usiłują rozwiązać problem złej sytuacji energetycznej, ale rezultaty są słabe. W związku z tym istnieje potrzeba bardziej energicznych wysiłków we wdrażaniu polityk energetycznych, angażowaniu sektora prywatnego i tworzeniu produktywnej współpracy pomiędzy interesariuszami związanymi z dostarczaniem energii.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present selected theoretical aspects of the concept of corporate social responsibility and the stakeholder theory that is closely related to it, targeted at liability with respect to specific stakeholder groups. Design/methodology/approach: The literature research and the critical analysis of both, the national and foreign subject literature have been used as the research methodology. Findings: Social responsibility is a concept in compliance with which companies, whilst designing their development strategy, take social groups, i.e. interests of selected groups of stakeholders, into account in their activities. This requires identification of diverse stakeholder groups, determination of the degree of their significance and proper management of relations with them. Thus, the concept of social responsibility is a process as part of which the companies manage their relations with stakeholders who may influence their economic success. Practical implications: The practical implications concern taking into consideration the application of the CSR principles in managers’ decisions and treating the conception in strategic aspects. Originality/value: The discussed issue belongs to one of the newest trends in management sciences and fits into the current conception of sustainable development. Proper integration of social values with the strategy allows developing and maintaining long-term competitive advantage. Therefore, the CSR conception is a long-term process of managing relations with groups of stakeholders in order to generate value for them and for enterprises’ owners.

An important tendency in managerial decisions is the focus on taking into account the law of the community and local communities. Managers, in accordance with the theory of stakeholders, should take into account the needs of various players. We also support for this in the concept of corporate social responsibility, sustainability or creating shared value. The aim of the article is to present the essence of the influence of secondary stakeholders on the creation of the value of defense enterprises resulting from public relations using digitization and socio-economic globalization. The results of the conducted research will allow to confirm the legitimacy of decisions made by defense companies, taking into account the maintenance of social relations, especially in the new communication and information environment.

The construction of Patimban Port in West Java Province has a potential to increase the flow of exported and imported goods in West Java. The increase will have an impact on the rising traffic flow of vehicles to or from Patimban port. The government has included the construction of the Subang-Patimban toll road in the national spatial plan. This research analyzes stakeholders and the criteria that they expect in the selection of alternative routes to Patimban port. The Multi Actor Multi Criteria Analysis (MAMCA) methodology used aims to evaluate differences in criteria between stakeholders. The selection of alternatives for all stakeholders uses two calculation methods or scenarios, namely, the similarity of weight for all stakeholders as scenario I and weighting the numer of criteria considered by stakeholders in determining the alternative chosen trace as scenario II. The result of the selected alternative calculation is different between scenario I and scenario II.

The interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation is practically relatively simple and straightforward, but at the same time requires careful construction of complex processes. All these processes of interaction are directly related to people and the organization. The term "stakeholders" applied only to employees of the enterprise, but due to the current changes, it has acquired a social orientation. The term is now common in many scientific publications. It can be applied to the organization itself and outside the organization in the organization of interaction between universities and business. The purpose of the study was to define and identify the interactions between universities and enterprises, depending on the type of activity. The HEIinovate tool was used to get the result among 2 universities in Kazakhstan and Poland. The results of the study show that the identification of internal stakeholders of interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation plays a key role in the joint work of both parties.

Purpose: Main objective of the study was to develop a map of impact of particular groups of stakeholders on the process of implementing projects co-financed by the European Union in public universities. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses methods of literature sources analysis and quantitative research with the use of questionnaire distributed among managers of EU projects implemented in public technical universities in the previous financial perspective. Findings: Based on conducted research, the impact of identified groups of stakeholders on the process of implementation of EU project was assessed. Research limitations/implications: Identification of the impact of groups of stakeholders on the process of implementation of EU project should enable necessary management actions to be taken at universities that increase their absorption capacity. Practical implications: Project implementation unit, in particular the team of contractors with the project leader at the forefront, by shaping positive relations with environment, may affect the pace and efficiency of project implementation. By acquiring support of main project stakeholders, likelihood of successful completion of the project is increased. This, in turn, reduces uncertainty and risk associated with implementation of the project and costs incurred to minimize it. Originality/value: Original map of the impact of individual stakeholder groups on implementing projects co-financed by the European Union in public universities.

Ochrona dziedzictwa jest w okresie transformacji, która polega m.in. na zwiększeniu wpływu interesariuszy na ochronę, zarządzanie i użytkowanie dziedzictwa. Konieczność takiej modyfikacji została sformułowana w dokumentach międzynarodowych – Konwencji z Faro (Rada Europy) i Rekomendacji HUL (Zgromadzenie Generalne UNESCO), które powinny być wdrażane przez państwa - strony tych organizacji. Zadaniem środowiska konserwatorskiego jest dostosowanie teorii i praktyki ochrony dziedzictwa do tych zmian. Wdrożenie nowego podejścia w ochronie dziedzictwa będzie długotrwałym procesem. Obszarem w którym zmiany będą szybko zachodziły jest ochrona miast historycznych. W zespołach staromiejskich konieczne będzie uwzględnienie trzech procesów: ochrony, użytkowania, przekształcania. Konserwatorzy zabytków będą musieli opracować narzędzia służące koordynacji i kontroli tych procesów. Swoistym poligonem tych działań jest zarządzanie miastami wpisanymi na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Heritage protection is in a period of transformation, which involves, among other things, increasing the influence of stakeholders on heritage protection, management and use. The need for such a modification was formulated in international documents - the Faro Convention (Council of Europe) and the HUL Recommendation (General Assembly of UNESCO), which should be implemented by the states - parties to these organizations. The task of the conservation community is to adapt the theory and practice of heritage protection to these changes. The implementation of the new approach in heritage protection will be a long-term process. The area where changes will quickly take place is the protection of historical cities. Three processes will have to be taken into account in the old town complexes: protection, use, and transformation. Monument conservators will have to develop tools to coordinate and control these processes. The management of UNESCO World Heritage Sites is a testing ground for these activities.
