The paper discusses the advantages of introducing cooperative board games in foreign language classes at the preschool level. The author points out the possible negative consequences of games based on competition: conflicts and frustration. The remedy can consist of games in which the whole group fights against the system of the game and wins or loses as a result – which is the same for all players. The author describes cooperative games and indicates their positive influence both on the student’s language competence and the development of the child’s personality. The second part of the paper presents a model showing how to design a cooperative game for children and demonstrates an example of a cooperative game for preschool learners.

The Act on Public Procurement is not applied for orders and competitions whose value does not exceed an equivalent of the amount of 14,000 Euros in the Polish zlotys, referred to as small orders. The lack of clear regulations in the national law does not mean that the ordering party is exempt from the obligation to obey the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The author discusses the norms and rules for granting small orders, taking account of the requirements that beneficiaries of Structural Funds must meet. She also presents potential sanctions for irregularities. The article is aimed at showing that they can result in a financial correction, also in the case of orders that are not included in the Act on Public Procurement.

Emergence of cooperative linkages among competitors quite often accompanies rivalries and the operation price mechanism. This particular type of relations among the actors taking part in market game is termed coopetition. In the article the processes of coopetition are described as instruments that control the behavior of firms. In particular, factors that influence the results of processes by which firms compete and cooperate among themselves are identified. It is stressed that further empirical research on coopetition needs a thorough systematization of concepts and methods.

Competition is a way of coordinating the market, whereas competitiveness is an asset in the rivalry between companies. All market players benefit from competition. On the demand side of the market, consumers receive a product that can better satisfy their needs. On the supply side, competitive conditions of economic environment force enterprises to enhance their economic activity (stimulation effect) as well as to develop cooperation based on specialisation (specialisation effect). Tangible benefits of competition are also expected as a result of intensification of the effect of production scale (optimalisation effect). Competitiveness is a notion that estimates the behaviour of the participants of market competition, mostly from the point of view of the results of their activities and their capability to generate a financial surplus (or other benefits). With regard to the competitiveness of the Polish economy, we can observe a steady improvement in its competitive position. However, the pace of change is far from satisfactory. There are still numerous segments whose prospects are not optimistic. These include, for example, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, innovativeness or the efficiency of economic environment institutions. In order to assess the chances of boosting the competitiveness of the Polish economy one must determine the relevant factors of economic growth. It seems that more weight should be given to direct factors affecting the dynamics of growth processes. It is the efficiency of human capital that determines what, how and where will be manufactured and in what proportions economic effects will be distributed. We should search for factors which determine the growth dynamics of the competitiveness of economic aggregates (enterprises, economic branches) in the long term.

Among the various studies on cross-cultural aspects of self-concept there is a huge lack on relation of self-concept to competition. In our study, we try to reject a stereotype, that competition is not a desired personal characteristic. The principal hypothesis is, therefore, that if competition is investigated in a context of self-concept, positive dimensions as well as correlations with self-concept areas can appear. As a consequence, a new model of self-concept, based on different kinds of competition, could be postulated. It could also be assumed that this model might differ from culture to culture. There were, accordingly, participants from three countries taking part in the study. The countries were chosen on basis of the political and cultural indicators in Eastern/Southern versus Western/Southern European transitions: Slovenia, Serbia and Spain. There are two particular aims to the research. The first one is to find out if there are any differences in self-concept and competition among participants from different countries. In accordance with the second aim, the investigation of the correlations between self-concept and competition within each national cultural group is underlined. The study comprised 169 Slovene, 99 Serbian and 140 Spanish participants. We found that the cultural indicator has a significant impact on self-concept and competition. What is more, it could be assumed that 'Southern' disposition predominates over Eastern as well as Western dimensions, which means that Slovenes could be among the more competitive participants, but have lower self-concept areas than their Southern peers.

The present article is a modest contribution to the reconstruction and systematization of a rich and seminal conception of René Girard. The letter belongs to a group of the most influential philosophers of culture of the XX and XXI century whose theories attempt at explaining the origins of this uniflue and diverse phenomen: culture Girard produces a coherent although a controversial theory of basic, fundament motives of human behavior (e.g. jalousie and strike For excellence and emulation) which set in motion a series of symbolic reactions leading to the emergence of organized society and finally social behavior. Those reactions were mainly responsible for the cultural development and progress.

We summarize main effects which lead to the innovation rate in real economy being different from social optimum. From the viewpoint of theory of economic growth, it is possible that market subjects innovate less but also more than socially optimal. Intensity of competition is one of the most important determinants of innovation rate. We list main policy instruments which can influence rate of innovation.

EN
Services play an important role in the Polish economy alongside industry, construction, banking or agriculture. On the European Union markets services represent the dominant area of economic activity. This position is exemplified by the number of employees in that sector of the European Union economy providing jobs to about 75% of the total EU professionally active population. Results of the analysis of source materials concerning the level of competition in the postal market indicate its rapid development, including fierce competition in the sector of services allowed for every operator after obtaining the concession as well as completely deregulated postal services. In the reserved services market only the monopoly of the Polish Post Office continues in providing services of general nature.

A competition may be restricted not only by undertakings, but also by public authorities in the exercise of their powers resulting from the generally binding legal regulations. With the aim to prevent this restriction of competition, the legislator has defined the restriction of competition, which is set out in § 39 of the Act on Protection of Competition. Although by its intensity or ramification the agenda of the application of § 39 of the Act cannot be compared with the agenda of application of prohibition of “classic“ forms of restriction of competition by undertakings (agreements restricting competition, abuse of a dominant position, concentration), in the existing decision-making practice of the Antimonopoly Office, the Council of the Antimonopoly Office, the Regional Court in Bratislava and the Supreme Court of SR we can identify some generalising features describing the most frequent cases of conduct or omission of public authorities resulting in the restriction of competition. The disclosure of these typical interventions of public authorities into competition may help a better orientation of public authorities as well as undertakings, consumers or parties damaged by such authoritative interventions into competition.

Enterprises continually search for ways of improving and strengthening their competitiveness. This is not an easy task. Continuous floating of new products to the market is one of the options. Thanks to product innovations the enterprise can increase its market share, the level of achieved profit, improve its competitive position and, as a consequence, its competitiveness. This study aimed at identification of strategic goals of creating new products, factors determining undertaking of innovation activities in that area and factors determining market success of such products. The studies showed that floating new products to the market serves, first of all, achievement of typical market goals. The success of a new product strategy is determined by marketing factors as well as the financial standing of the company, its image and promotion potential. The major factors stimulating innovative activities of the enterprise are the status of market needs and preferences, rate of changes in them, technology progress as well as resources and skills of the enterprise.

Competition in the economy is a general model of competition. Competitions, which take place in other spheres of life, have many parallels to the competition in the economy. Economic competition can therefore be used as a model that will be the benchmark for the definition of competition in other areas. Similarly to the model of economic competition, where individual businesses compete with each other, in regulatory competition model individual states compete with each other. The purpose of it is achievement of a high degree of production factors' concentration in the country and seizure of additional income. This phenomenon causes different assessment, from the denial of it, to recognition as a phenomenon. There are several conditions, which should be fulfilled, to assure an effective regulatory competition, and now it is very difficult to meet them.

This paper investigates the purposes for overpricing of public procurement for construction works in the Czech Republic. We tested two potential factors influencing final process – the level of competition and the level of transparency. According findings, each additional bid decreases the final price by 2.19%. In reality this means that the chance for cost savings increases with the number of competing suppliers. The final price also depends on the type of procedure. Our recommendation is to organise public tenders for works in manners allowing for the highest possible level of competition, to do as much as possible to motivate potential suppliers for participation.
