Therefore the article comprehensively discusses the problems of trust in alliance networks. The conclusion of the text is that trust building in alliance networks has an influence on the effectiveness of the whole network. The text is based on the latest world literature as well as the personal experience of the author in creating effective cooperative network agreements.

Coraz większe oczekiwania klientów znacząco wpływają na powstawanie nowego typu porozumień między firmami współpracującymi do tej pory jedynie na za-sadzie „dostawca-odbiorca”. Wymagania te w istotny sposób oddziałują na nowy sposób zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw. Dzięki współpracy sieciowej, poprzez wykorzystanie komplementarnych umiejętności, partnerzy mogą znacząco zredukować koszty transakcyjne, szybko adaptować się do zmian zachodzą cych w otoczeniu oraz rozwijać bardziej kreatywne sposoby zaspokajania potrzeb klienta. Dlatego celem artykułu jest przedstawie-nie kluczowych aspektów związanych z tworzeniem oraz funkcjonowaniem sieci logistycznych. Składa się on z kilku części. W pierwszej części zaprezentowano różnice między tra-dycyjnym a nowym podejściem do kwestii logistycznych w firmie. Następnie, wychodząc od klasycznego pojęcia sieci, zdefiniowano pojęcie sieci logistycznej. Kolejna część kon-centruje się na ogólnych uwarunkowaniach związanych z funkcjonowaniem sieci logistycz-nych. W opracowaniu zaprezentowano również praktyczne przykłady wykorzystania sieci logistycznych. Przedstawiono także występowanie kooperencji w sieciach logistycznych oraz koncepcję multisourcingu traktowaną jako nową odmianę sieci logistycznych.

Growing customer expectations have a significant impact on the formation of a new type of agreements between the companies, cooperating so far only on a „sup-plier-custome” basis. These requirements have a significant impact on the new way of supply chain management. Thanks to the networking and through the use of complementary skills, partners may significantly reduce transaction costs, quickly adapt to the chan-ging environment and develop more creative ways of meeting the customer needs. The-refore, the goal of this paper is the presentation of the key aspects related to the formation and functioning of the logistics networks. It consists of several parts. The first part presents the differences between traditional and the new approach to the logistics in the company. Then, a concept of logistics network was defined. The next part focuses on the general conditions relating to the functioning of the logistics networks. The study al-so presents practical examples of logistics networks. Finally, the presence of coopetition in logistics networks as well as the concept of multisourcing, which is treated as a new type of logistics networks, were described.

Research background: In spite of abundant evidence that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributes to improving the emotional state of employees as stakeholders and can serve as a useful tool for reduction of their turnover in organizations, until now, it remains unclear how the different status of CSR is related to consequences accompanying mobbing. Purpose of the article: This study compares the emotional state and intentions of Polish and Lithuanian organizations' employees who have experienced mobbing with regard to the status of CSR. The paper presents part of the results of a wider study conducted in two neighbouring states, which are exclusively related to the employees' emotional state and employee intentions after experiencing mobbing in the workplace. Methods: The research sample involved 823 respondents employed in Lithuania and Poland. The questionnaire survey was conducted using the questionnaire "Mobbing as a Psychosocial Stressor in the Organizations Accessing and Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility - MOB-CSR". Comparisons are made with regard to and CSR and relate to Lithuania (LT) and Poland (PL), when organisations are divided into three groups: (I) Is CSR; (II) Seeks to be-come CSR and (III) Does not seek to become CSR. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used as the research methods. Findings & Value added: CSR is related to employees' better emotional state and lesser intentions to leave the organisation, but the study revealed unexpected results showing that according to certain parameters, the situation in the organisations seeking CSR was better than in those already declaring this status (e.g. the feeling of hopelessness, reluctance to seek better results, etc.). It is discussed why the results between countries that have similar historical experience and are culturally close differ. The conclusions emphasize the necessity for practitioners and researchers to evaluate the impact of change on employees' emotional state and intentions at different stages of CSR implementation more carefully. Besides, the results revealed a significant impact of the different status of enterprises with regard to CSR on employees' emotional state and intentions to stay in the job. This article contributes to the literature analysing organizational management by filling gaps in empirical research on CSR, mobbing, employees' emotional state and intentions in different cultures.

`Background: In today’s business environment, a company is able to maintain its competitive position if it constantly generates knowledge and disseminates this knowledge within the organization, as well as transforms it into new competences. The ability to transfer knowledge becomes one of the key factors in the improvement of a company’s competitive position. This hypothesis is applicable particularly in the case of cooperation within networks, as they are an excellent opportunity for mutual learning between partners. Objectives: The purpose of the paper is to analyse the process of knowledge transfer in intra-organizational networks. Method: Due to the specificity of the research object, the case study method has been chosen. In order to make an in-depth analysis of the case study, we selected a group of several criteria based on the theory which we believe to be fundamental to the effectiveness of knowledge management in networks, and compared them with the situation in the ArcelorMittal Group. Results: Our research show that ArcelorMittal Group has met almost all the criteria of effective knowledge management in its intra-organizational network. Some exceptions, albeit merely to an extent, are mostly the result of historical circumstances, , i.e. the process of growth through acquisitions, and the acquisition of companies at different stages of organizational development, as well as organizational culture. Conclusion: Based on theoretical assumptions, the study analysed in details the components of knowledge management applied by the corporation in question. Therefore this study might be utilised to formulate a refutable hypothesis and verify them on a larger group of companies from different sectors of the economy. The main limitations of the paper are mostly related to the inherent approach therein

Our article presents the results of research on the use of modern management concepts in companies from the so-called traditional sectors of the economy in Lesser Poland and Silesia Voivodeships. The study group consists of 125 companies operating in metallurgy- and steel-related sectors such as machinery, coke, mining and energy. Studies have confirmed that the companies surveyed utilise modern management concepts in their activities, although such utilisation is highly diverse (only one company pointed out that it does not utilise any such concepts). The most popular management concepts are controlling and outsourcing. In contrast, Balanced Scorecard and Business Process Reengineering belong to the group of rarely used strategies.
