Efektywność Instrumentów Płatniczych W Polsce, Jakub Górka

Monografie/Monographs

Niniejsza monografia wpisuje się w tematykę badań nad społeczeństwem bezgotówkowym. W ostatnich latach podejmowano w Polsce próby stworzenia programu rozwoju obrotu bezgotówkowego, którego właściwe wdrożenie miało przyspieszyć proces zmiany zwyczajów płatniczych w naszym kraju i upowszechnić obrót bezgotówkowy. Idea takiego programu narodziła się w 2007 roku, a obecnie mają miejsce prace nad jego drugą wersją. Będąc uczestnikiem prac nad obiema wersjami autor w pracy dyskontuje zdobytą wiedzę i doświadczenie do wyciągania wniosków o charakterze zarządczym. Publikacja dotyczy przede wszystkim rynku polskiego. Nie oznacza to jednak, że rozważania nie są osadzone w kontekście europejskim, a nawet globalnym. Międzynarodowe trendy wywierają wpływ …

Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Biznesu, Marcin Żemigała

Monografie/Monographs

Społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu w świetle analiz bibliometrycznych i opinii pracowników na temat równowagi między życiem zawodowym a prywatnym.Społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu to koncepcja, która w ostatnich latach jest często poruszana zarówno w teorii, jak i w praktyce zarządzania. Widać jednak wyraźnie, że brakuje koncepcyjnego uporządkowania pojawiających się modeli teoretycznych i narzędzi praktycznych. Brakuje także pozycji dotyczących kategoryzacji społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu, która pozwoliłaby na ukazanie z czym powinna być ona wiązana w najwyższym stopniu, a z jakimi aspektami wiąże się w stopniu mniejszym. Cel niniejszej pracy składa się z dwóch elementów. Pierwszym jest dokonanie eksploracji obszaru społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu, określenie występujących koncentracji …

Przedstawicielom praktyki niniejsza praca powinna zaoferować nowe wiadomości na temat omawianych zagadnień, natomiast dla świata nauki okazać się motywacją, wskazówką, a być może nawet wstępem do podjęcia nowych badań w zakresie informatyki i jej zastosowania. Dostarczy także potrzebnej …
