Research background: In today's turbulent times, organizations face the challenge of fulfilling many complex requirements while at the same time they have to adjust to ongoing changes. The necessary changes that would allow for resolving these problems should, first of all, involve a new approach to human resource management and, in particular, the role of leadership in healthcare units. Numerous studies conducted over the years confirm the growing importance of leadership in modern organizations, especially in the healthcare sector. Purpose of the article: The main goal of the project is to identify the relationships between innovative leadership and the organizational efficiency of healthcare units in the context of innovation levels. The article discusses the research hypotheses concerning the existence of a relationship between management innovation and transformational leadership style in healthcare units, the existence of a relationship between transformational leadership style and the efficiency of healthcare units, the existence of a relationship between management innovation and the efficiency of healthcare units. Methods: The survey was conducted in 100 randomly selected healthcare units in Poland. The analysis of interdependencies was performed, among others, with the use of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, the Kendall rank correlation coefficient, the coefficient of colligation, and a chi-squared test, while the measures were chosen based on their adequacy for correlated variables and their distribution. In order to verify the hypotheses formulated in the study, a number of statistical methods were applied, e.g. descriptive statistics and correlation analysis Findings & Value added: The key result of the study identifies the role of transformational leader-ship style in the relationship between the level of innovativeness and efficiency in healthcare units. The article also points to practical implications that may contribute to improved management practices in healthcare units.

Polish healthcare units are subjected to processes of commercialization and privatization and they have to seek the factors affecting the growth of their own competitiveness. The purpose of this article is to attempt to identify determinants of innovation in the public and private health care units. However, the empirical verification of this objective will be achieved on the basis of a fragment of the tests carried out in the context of the study of entrepreneurship in the conditions of the health sector (including the concept of entrepreneurial orientation, in which one of the dimensions is the innovation).

Innowacje i procesy innowacyjne skupiają obecnie uwagę badaczy. Lite¬ratura dostarcza wyjaśnień dla siły związków pomiędzy zmiennymi, jednak badania ilościowe nie wskazują jednoznacznie na przyczyny podejmowanych decyzji w procesie innowacyjnym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja procesów innowacyjnych w czterech wybranych organizacjach, ukierunkowana na identyfikację prawidłowości pro¬cesów innowacyjnych w MŚP. Wykorzystując metodę studium przypadku wykazano, że w badanych organizacjach procesy innowacyjne mają niewiele wspólnych cech, a zaliczyć do nich należy przede wszystkim: wykorzystanie ogólnodostępnych informacji, wprowa¬dzanie rozwiązań nastawionych na optymalizację procesów wewnętrznych i finansowa¬nie procesów przede wszystkim środkami własnymi.

Nowadays innovation and innovation processes focus significant research attention. Literature provides empirical support for relationships between contingencies, innovations and its outcomes, however, quantitative researches do not reveal the reasons and characteristics of innovation processes. The main aim of the paper is the presenta¬tion of innovation processes in four, chosen organizations, which is directed towards identification of innovation process characteristics in SMEs. Using case study methodo¬logy we conclude that in chosen organizations innovation processes has few common characteristics. In particular, organizations choose general, commonly accessible infor-mation for innovation purposes, they introduce new solutions to optimize internal pro¬cesses and finance their innovative activity with own resources.

The article deals with impact of internationalization on performance of small and medium enterprises. Some characteristics of the internationalization process along with its models are presented. Particular attention is paid to differences between classical models of internationalization and the so-called born global models. In the empirical part, results of the research into a sample of 100 internationalized enterprises functioning in the Silesian Voivodeship are discussed. The results enrich knowledge of internationalization models of Polish enterprises including born global models. The research undoubtedly confirms positive interdependencies between internationalization of small and medium enterprises and their financial and non-financial performance.

This article explains the relationship between the organization's dynamic capabilities, the level of organizational slack, and the innovativeness of the enterprise. Using empirical data from 422 Polish organizations collected in 2021; quantitative analyses were carried out on the relationships between dynamic capabilities, the level of organizational slack, and the company's innovativeness. Among others, correlation analyses, factor analyses, regression analyses, variance inflation factors, structural equation modeling, and moderation analyses were used. It was found that the ability to perceive, use and reconfigure resources is an essential factor determining the enterprise's innovativeness level. On the other hand, organizational slack is vital in moderating the relationship between resource reconfiguration and innovation. With a low level of organizational slack, the ability to reconfigure resources translates into an increase in the company's innovativeness. The article discusses the relationship between dynamic abilities and innovation in the context of organizational slack. According to the authors' knowledge, this is the first approach of this type in the national literature and one of the first in the international state of knowledge. Thus, it enriches the organization's knowledge of innovation issues, clearly pointing to its determinants.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba wyjaśnienia relacji pomiędzy zdolnościami dynamicznymi organizacji, poziomem luzów organizacyjnych oraz innowacyjności przedsiębiorstwa. Wykorzystując dane empiryczne z 422 polskich organizacji, zgromadzonych w 2021 roku, przeprowadzono analizy ilościowe dotyczące związków pomiędzy wskazanymi zależnościami. Przeprowadzone analizy statystyczne wykazały, że zdolności do dostrzegania, wykorzystywania i rekonfiguracji zasobów stanowią istotny czynnik determinujący poziom innowacyjności przedsiębiorstwa. Artykuł podejmuje tematykę związków pomiędzy zdolnościami dynamicznymi i innowacyjnością w kontekście luzów organizacyjnych. Zgodnie z wiedzą autorów jest to pierwsze tego typu ujęcie w literaturze krajowej i jedno z pierwszych w międzynarodowym stanie wiedzy. Wzbogaca tym samym stan wiedzy dotyczący problematyki innowacyjności w organizacji, wskazując jednoznacznie na jej uwarunkowania.

Purpose: Miles and Snow’s conception of strategic types is the most popular and extensively studied typology of strategic choices. Consequently, in recent years it has been related to organizational performance measures. Despite numerous studies conducted in different environmental and organizational settings, the research results of relationships between strategic types and organizational performance are ambiguous. In this paper, we seek to advance the knowledge regarding how a chosen strategic type affects organizational performance measures in the transition economy of Poland. Methodology: Using quantitative research results, on the basis of data from 96 organizations we statistically test four research hypotheses. Findings: Research results reveal the existence of “clear” strategic types in majority of companies but highlight moderately strong relationships between declared strategic type and organizational performance. In turn, they suggest that Prospector and Analyzer strategic types promise slightly higher performance than Reactor and Defender types. Originality: This research project on strategic types in SMEs in a transition economy is one of few dealing with this topic that have been conducted in Eastern European countries to date.
