In the context of Polish insurance firms, scholarly research has identified a gap in the methodologies for assessing employees’ innovative potential (IP) and the significant role of managerial strategies in shaping it. The study focused on team diversity and its impact on IP, noting that among 43-47 active insurance companies, only 18 had product-focused teams, with 16 participating in the research. The literature suggests a positive link between team diversity – considering age, gender, experience, knowledge, skills, and personality – and IP. The main research question explored how diversity influences employees’ IP levels in insurance companies. The article aims to identify strategies for managing employees’ IP effectively and efficiently, emphasizing the need for a precise definition of IP that includes knowledge, skills, and personality traits conducive to innovation. This approach avoids overly broad definitions that may shift the focus from key innovative traits. The research findings included an assessment of the level of innovative potential in terms of knowledge, skills, and personality traits, as well as an evaluation of the correlation between employee diversity and the achieved level of innovative potential. The article also indicates potential applications and directions for further research.

W kontekście polskich firm ubezpieczeniowych badania naukowe wskazują na lukę w metodologiach oceny potencjału innowacyjnego (PI) pracowników oraz znaczącą rolęstrategii zarządzania w kształtowaniu go. Badanie koncentruje się na różnorodności zespołu i jej wpływie na IP, zauważając, że spośród 43–47 aktywnych firm ubezpieczeniowych tylko 18 ma zespoły skoncentrowane na produktach, z czego 16 uczestniczy w badaniu. Literatura sugeruje pozytywny związek między różnorodnością zespołu – biorąc pod uwagę wiek, płeć, doświadczenie, wiedzę, umiejętności i osobowość – a PI. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie, jak różnorodność wpływa na poziom PI pracowników w firmach ubezpieczeniowych. Podkreślono potrzebę precyzyjnej definicji PI, która obejmuje wiedzę, umiejętności i cechy osobowości sprzyjające innowacjom. Podejście to unika zbyt szerokich definicji, które mogą rozmyć skupienie na kluczowych cechach innowacyjnych. Wyniki badań obejmują ocenę poziomu potencjału innowacyjnego w zakresie wiedzy, umiejętności i cech charakteru oraz ocenę korelacji zróżnicowania pracowników z osiąganym poziomem potencjału innowacyjnego. W artykule wskazano także możliwości aplikacyjne i kierunki dalszych badań.

Purpose: In companies, the search for factors which increase competitiveness in the market is crucial to their development. One of these factors is a presence of well-functioning social networks. The aim of this article is firstly to determine the extent to which social networks exist within companies, and secondly to examine the impact of social networks on group processes that support innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The stated objective was achieved through the use of a survey method utilizing the CATI technique. The survey included 575 department managers and employees of companies in innovative industries. Findings: The research revealed relationships between social network indicators and intragroup processes, i.e., mutual support within the team, quality of performance of tasks requiring team cooperation, intra-team communication, and increased innovation within the team, as well as between social network indicators and intergroup processes, e.g., information flow between work teams and cooperation between work teams. Research limitations/implications: The acquired research findings with regard to their quantitative nature (survey research) constitutes the basis for the limited findings. Practical implications: Knowledge of the nature of social networks can help managers to stimulate pro-innovative actions by employees, which will increase the company's competitiveness in the market. Originality/value: In a cognitive sense, the research findings lead to the familiarization with the role of social networks on group processes that support innovation

Purpose: The objective of the argument in this paper is to attempt at answering the question whether learning and knowledge exchange are the key factors determining online work preferences for Generation Z employees. Design/methodology/approach: The essence of knowledge management is that all knowledge, both explicit and tacit, accumulated by an organization becomes easily accessible to each of its members. This is important for decision-making processes and allows the organization to become more agile. Knowledge management is most often associated with modern information technologies. Thanks to them, streams of various data can be processed and analyzed in many different ways. However, in the literature there is an increasingly common attitude that more attention should be paid not only to the technological but also to the human aspect of knowledge management. The processes of knowledge exchange among employees have been subject to extensive research and studies, yet the recent years have added another thread to the discussion about the matter, i.e. a significant proportion of employees switching to the online work model. Based on the findings of the studies conducted on a group of employees representing Generation Z, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique was applied to organize the factors with the highest relevance for the respondents in online work. Findings: PCA demonstrated that the components recognized as most important were those relating to knowledge transfer and their impact on employee efficiency, and on the other hand employee relations as a factor that supports the learning processes. Research limitations/implications: In order to dwell upon the underlying causes of this situation, it should be recommended to proceed with further in-depth qualitative research. Practical implications: What the research communicates to the organization is that although Generation Z members are aware of the significance of the knowledge transfer and learning processes and they understand the role of peer relations in these processes, they are unable to overcome the social barriers created by the online working system due to lack of appropriate skills. Originality/value: The paper reveals new aspects that play crucial role in shaping Generation Z attitude to online work from one side. On the other hand it also helps to design synthetic tool researching this area in the future.

This study aims to assess the market availability of human capital for the needs of the green economy under the conditions of the changing labour market in Poland. It is a theoretical and analytical study based on desk research and critical analysis of available factual information. Based on an analysis of quantitative data describing the age structure and education of Poles from the perspective of three consecutive decades, a growing labour supply deficit was found. It also points to a possible shortage of competencies needed to green the economy. It was emphasised that, in view of the low effectiveness of the state's prevention policy aimed at preventing the growing demographic crisis, it would be necessary to supplement the shortage of workers from external resources, that is, labour migration. However, this may also be difficult because the labour markets in other European countries become increasingly competitive. Recommended solutions to foster labour market sustainability for the green economy may be to delay the exit of employees from the labour market, boost female economic activity, and make the education system more efficient.

Celem artykułu jest ocena rynkowej dostępności kapitału ludzkiego na potrzeb zielonej gospodarki w warunkach zmieniającego się rynku pracy w Polsce. Opracowanie ma charakter teoretyczno-analityczny. Zostało przygotowane z wykorzystaniem metody deskresearch oraz analizy krytycznej dostępnych informacji o charakterze faktualnym. Na podstawie danych ilościowych opisujących strukturę wieku oraz wykształcenie Polaków w perspektywie trzech kolejnych dekad stwierdzono rosnący deficyt podaży pracy. Wskazano także na możliwy niedobór kompetencji niezbędnych dla zazielenienia gospodarki. Pokreślono, że wobec niskiej skuteczności polityki państwa w zakresie zapobiegania narastającemu kryzysowi demograficznemu koniecznym będzie uzupełninie niedoboru pracowników z zasobów zewnętrznych tj. migracją zarobkową. Może to jednak być również utrudnione w związku z rosnącą konkurencyjnością rynków pracy innych państw Europy. Rekomendowanymi rozwiązaniami sprzyjającymi zrównoważeniu rynku pracy dla zielonej gospodarki może być opóźnienie wyjścia pracowników z rynku pracy, zwiększenia aktywności zawodowej kobiet oraz poprawa skuteczności systemu edukacyjnego.

Purpose: The main objective of this article is to identify the possibilities of using quality management systems to undertake innovation activities in an organisation representing the chemical industry. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was carried out to find out the state of the research on the subject. It was conducted according to the research methodology proposed by J.W. Creswell (2013). Ten employees from one of the key departments of an organisation belonging to the chemical industry were interviewed. Findings: The interviewees are of the opinion that their organisation’s quality management system is a useful tool. However, if the system is to support innovation activities, employees should be trained more extensively, they should be provided with information on the potential benefits of quality improvement and innovations, competitions for best organisational solutions should be organised and the quality management system itself should be improved so that it is less documentation-intensive. Research limitations/implications: A literature review is not a perfect way to obtain information. Previous research has been conducted in different organisations and in different cultures. Secondly, it is important to remember the limitations inherent in qualitative research. Practical implications: Based on the results of the research, those responsible for the functioning of management systems can take appropriate measures aimed at increasing the scope of innovation activities of employees. Originality/value: Quality management systems conducive to innovation activities in the chemical industry are not a frequent research topic.

Purpose: In this paper, the authors analyze the importance of knowledge in modern socioeconomic relations. The main objective of this paper is to show the prospects for development of knowledge-based inter-organizational cooperation between universities and companies in the chemical sector. Design/methodology/approach: The authors recognized that it is reasonable to adopt the research strategy of methodological pluralism. Therefore, the study used an integrated research approach, which included both direct interpretive and positivist research procedures. This required qualitative and quantitative research. Literature studies include Polish and foreign publications. Findings: As a conclusion for the results of the study, it should be stated that the value derived from knowledge positively influences the establishment and subsequent strengthening of the ties between universities and companies. This knowledge (in particular, solutions in the area of digital technologies that focus on monitoring and automation of processes, data integration, and big data analytics, as well as data protection and cybersecurity) can be applied in the process of formation of long-term relationships between universities and companies. In addition, as demonstrated in the article, inter-organizational cooperation between a university and a chemical company requires ensuring symmetry in the partners’ structures and management methods, as well as overcoming differences in their organizational cultures. Other conditions that should be taken into account in order to successfully shape long-term relationships are organizational proximity, cognitive proximity, institutional proximity, and social proximity. Originality/value: The added value of the article is to show the prospects for the development of inter-organizational cooperation and to determine the importance of the impact of knowledge on the cooperation of universities and chemical enterprises.

The development of the skills and knowledge of architecture students is largely shaped during their study at a Faculty of Architecture. There is another way of improving student knowledge of architecture and urban planning. Apart from Erasmus programmes, there are also other international academic and education programmes as well as international workshops. The Activation of the Public Spaces of Historical City Centres Based on Local Communities, jointly conducted by the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology and the Technical School of the University CEU Cardenal Herrera in Valencia, is one such programme. The outcomes of this form of teaching include not only the knowledge and skills allowing one to deal with new conditions that young people have to face while being put through a lot of stress, but also the effort they put into multiple-days-long conferences, workshops or the preparation of their Bachelor’s in engineering projects. International cooperation and workshops participation have contributed to the enhancement of knowledge about architecture and to the development of participating students' characters.

The article - based on the research - emphasizes the importance of employees in a modern organization that functions in an extremely volatile and at the same time demanding environment. Variability, combined with the processes of internationalization of a number of phenomena and requirements resulting from the Industrial Revolution 4.0, directly forces the need for continuous improvement of competences by the company’s staff. On the other hand, managers should rationally use their intellectual potential in order to strengthen their position on the market and dominate the competition. It is essential to take actions aimed at encouraging employees to invest in themselves. Then there will be a mutual benefit: for a specific person and company for which he works. Creating a climate for acquiring knowledge will make an organization a learning and successful business organization. In such a company, intellectual capital management will become a process where any employee will be treated subjectively, and will be a co-creator of the success of his/her organization.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie w oparciu o dorobek teorii zarządzania i ekonomii zasobów oraz procesów, które mogą wpływać na wdrażanie nowoczesnych rozwiązań w miejskich inwestycjach i systemie transportu dla mieszkańców miasta. Skuteczność i szybkość zmian w komunikacji miejskiej zależna jest od zasobów wiedzy, jaką posiadają władze miasta, samorząd i organizator, dostępności zasobów finansowych na wydatki związane z rozwojem nowoczesnego transportu, zasobów w infrastrukturze transportu i taboru oraz stosowanej technologii IT. Potencjał tych zasobów oraz procesy, jakie zachodzą w systemie decyzyjnym i przepływach finansowych wyznaczają zdolność samorządu miejskiego do zrealizowania zadań, jakie należy wdrożyć, aby „lepszy transport wpływał na lepsze miasto”. Innowacyjne podejście i elastyczność procesu zarządzania przez organizatora zależy od formy organizacyjno-prawnej. W artykule przedstawiono trzy formy organizacyjno-prawne, jakie występują w polskiej praktyce. Omówiono ich cechy i zakres swobody w korzystaniu z zasobów, którymi dysponują, aby zwrócić uwagę polityków i władz lokalnych na konieczność poprawy formy organizacyjno-prawnej organizatora przed podjęciem planowanych zmian systemowych w transporcie miejskim. Zwrócono uwagę na znaczenie odpowiedniego kapitału intelektualnego, którego rdzeniem jest wiedza. W podsumowaniu postawiono tezę, że w krajowym transporcie publicznym jednym z ważnych postulatów, które stoją przed osobami kierującymi administracją miejską jest potrzeba kształcenia na studiach podyplomowych oferujących najnowszą wiedzę z zakresu projektowania i wdrażania innowacji w transporcie miejskim.

EN

The aim of this article is to present, based on management and economic theory, the resources and processes that can influence the implementation of modern solutions in urban investments and the transport system for city residents. The effectiveness and speed of change in urban transport depends on the knowledge resources of the city authorities, the local government and the organiser, the availability of financial resources for spending on the development of modern transport, the resources in transport infrastructure and rolling stock and the IT technology used. The potential of these resources and the processes that take place in the decision-making system and financial flows determine the ability of the city government to achieve the tasks that need to be implemented in order for “better transport to influence a better city”. The innovative approach and flexibility of the organiser’s management process depends on the organisational and legal form. The article presents three organisational-legal forms that occur in Polish reality. Their characteristics and the scope of their freedom to use the resources at their disposal are discussed in order to draw the attention of politicians and local authorities to the need to improve the organiser’s organisational- legal form before undertaking planned system changes in urban transport. Attention was drawn to the importance of adequate intellectual capital – intangible resources, the core of which is knowledge. It concludes with the thesis that, in national public transport, one of the important demands facing those in charge of urban administration is the need for postgraduate education offering the latest knowledge in the design and implementation of urban transport innovations.

Accessibility is a fundamental point to enjoy cultural heritage. An operative aspect which with different theoretical methodologies and practical projects can reach critical-conservative solutions. A first step may be to conserve the different stratification, all historic periods, and the impact in the surroundings for single preexistences and archeological sites. For archeological sites, it is necessary not to forget historical solutions which contributed to inspire the Venice Charter. A second step is an urban dimension for the accessibility in the historic centres and the pedestrian itineraries. To summarize the values Riegl, as we know, divided them in two main groups: the memorial values as age value, historical value and intended memorial value; and the present day values as use value, art value, newness value and relative art value. And when there is a conflict between use value and historical value, the treatment of a monument should, above all, take into account the age value. This will be a principal for the guidelines in the problem of accessibility. Many of these problems can be resolve with an appropriate design. This reintegration of the image even for the urban restoration than for the conservation of environment. In this paper, we want to present different ways of making the cultural heritage accessible to everyone, not only the obvious priorities of physical accessibility, but also accessibility in the form of understanding and experiencing.

PL

Dostępność jest podstawowym warunkiem korzystania z dziedzictwa kulturowego. Jest to aspekt operacyjny, który przy różnych metodologiach teoretycznych i praktycznych projektach może osiągnąć rozwiązania krytyczno-konserwatywne. Pierwszym krokiem może być zachowanie różnych stref, wszystkich okresów historycznych i wpływu na otoczenie dla pojedynczych preegzystencji i stanowisk archeologicznych. W przypadku stanowisk archeologicznych nie można zapomnieć o historycznych rozwiązaniach, które przyczyniły się do powstania Karty Weneckiej. Drugim krokiem jest miejski wymiar dostępności w historycznych centrach i pieszych trasach. Podsumowując wartości, Riegl, jak wiemy, podzielił je na dwie główne grupy: wartości pamiątkowe jako wartość wiekowa, wartość historyczna i zamierzona wartość pamiątkowa; oraz współczesne wartości jako wartość użytkowa, wartość sztuki, wartość nowości i względna wartość sztuki. A gdy dochodzi do konfliktu między wartością użytkową a historyczną, traktowanie zabytku powinno uwzględniać przede wszystkim wartość wiekową. Będzie to podstawą wytycznych w problematyce dostępności. Wiele z tych problemów można rozwiązać za pomocą odpowiedniego rozplanowania. To przywrócenie kształtu zabytków jest istotne zarówno dla renowacji miasta, jak ochrony środowiska. W niniejszym artykule chcemy przedstawić różne sposoby udostępniania dziedzictwa kulturowego wszystkim, nie tylko oczywiste priorytety dostępności fizycznej, ale także dostępności w postaci zrozumienia i doświadczenia.

Purpose: The subject matter of the article results from the growing importance of innovation both in the development of enterprises and the entire economy. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is based on research conducted in 104 small and medium-sized industrial companies operating in the West Pomeranian province. For purposes of the research, the author applied the documentary research method and CATI survey. Findings: The findings clearly indicate that efforts taken to create environments conducive to employee innovation in industrial companies in the West Pomerania are not sufficient. The surveyed business environments did not adequately encourage employees to, in particular, expand knowledge, seek novel solutions and did not provide them with access to innovation generating tools. It is the company’s innovation culture and environment that fuels growth and fosters innovation which allows to compete successfully on national and international markets. The paper also brings to light the low level of innovation of Polish economy resulting from the fact that only ca. 17% of the small enterprises and ca. 37% of the medium-sized enterprises can be considered innovative. Research limitations/implications: As part of the article, research was carried out in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is planned to conduct research throughout Poland. Originality/value: The article highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to the innovation generation system in enterprises.

Characterinsing the nature of cybephysical systems is not easy task. What are core aspects and what are not? This is especially tricky in systems-of-systems aggregates. Some EU-funded cyberphysical systems projects have performed a roadmapping exercise over the domain of Cyber-Physical Systems-of-Systems. In particlular, the EU-CPSoS project roadmap has identified three major challenges and eleven research and innovation policies that shall be addressed to solve the three challenges. The third core challenge addresses Cognitive Cyber-physical Systems of Systems. In this article we address the role that knowledge and cognition are to play in future cyber-physical systems of systems from a life-cycle perspective of high autonomy systems.

Creating diagrams is an occasion for a sophisticated analysis of notions and exploring their meaning. It is also a form of direct contact with psychological phenomena and juxtaposing intuition and deduction as sources of cognition. Analysis of the development of philosophical stances can present the process of a departure from the classical view that holds that this argumentation can have a purely formal character (while the role of intuition is significantly reduced). The by-product shall be an explanation of often encountered simplifications associated with understanding both positions associated with their extreme versions: the intuitive relict or the version of formalism that produces an impression of being a sterile and even absurd argument. I argue in favour of the utility of both positions, as they can present interesting aspects of certain problems in architectural proofs at different stages of design, and used to distinguish different diagrams.

PL

Tworzenie diagramów to okazja do wyrafinowanej analizy pojęć i swoistego wnikania w ich treść. To również bezpośredni kontakt ze zjawiskami o charakterze psychologicznymi i przeciwstawieniem intuicji i dedukcji, jako źródeł poznania. Analiza rozwoju stanowisk filozoficznych pozwoli na ukazanie procesu odchodzenia od poglądu klasycznego w myśl, którego w sposób intuicyjny ujmujemy poszczególne etapy rozumowania na rzecz poglądu zgodnie, z którym ta argumentacja może mieć charakter czysto formalny (zaś rola intuicji zostaje mocno zredukowana). Natomiast „produktem ubocznym” będzie wyjaśnienie, pewnych często spotykanych uproszczeń związanych ze zrozumieniem obu stanowisk utożsamianych ze skrajnymi ich wersjami. Intuicyjnego reliktu bądź wersją formalizmu sprawiającej wrażenie, że jest to stanowisko jałowe i wręcz absurdalne. Chcę podkreślić użyteczność obu stanowisk, gdyż pozwalają one na ukazanie ciekawych aspektów problemów w dowodach architektonicznych, na rożnych etapach projektowania i wyodrębnienie różnych diagramów.

The article focuses on selected issues related to hackathon application in creating open innovation within a cluster. The considerations were based mainly on the case study method, desk research, and a literature review. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, it consists of three parts, which characterize the essence of open innovation, the strategic dimension of the hackathon and the cluster experiences with using of hackathon. Based on the results of own research, it was shown that creating open innovations using a hackathon in clusters not only shapes the investment attractiveness of clusters, but also contributes to the construction of an efficient regional innovation ecosyetm. The article draws attention to the fact that the business and social potential of the hackathon provides a wide range of benefits essential for cluster development. Moreover, it is emphasized that the successful application of the hackathon in process of creating open innovations is an example of a strategic challenge for cluster management in a turbulent environment. The research problem in the field of management and quality sciences, analyzed by the Authors as a part of the article is directly related to the essence of strategic and creative entrepreneurship within knowledge-based economy.

Purpose: The aim of studies undertaken in the article is to identify factors that may have an effect on the relationship between the results of interim management projects and increasing their effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach: An empirical-inductive approach – the literature studies and secondary empirical data analyses. Findings: The authors point to the following three key factors: trust, power and knowledge. In the future, the results of the studies presented here will form the foundations to develop an empirical-inductive research program with the aim to verify the significance of the identified factor, the relationships between them and their effect on the effectiveness of the process. It applies not only to commercial organizations, but also to non-profit institutions, political organizations and public utility organizations, such as health care institutions. Practical implications: This article refers to the effectiveness of the implementation process of interim management projects. The effectiveness of the whole process is strongly conditioned by both the competence of the interim manager and the perception of the client. Research results can be used to improve these competences and to improve the effectiveness of IM projects. Originality/value: The pioneering nature of work aimed at filling the existing research gap and answering the research question made the authors opt for an empirical-inductive approach.
