Local government units (LGU) are nowadays facing the very difficult and complicated task of making reasonable decisions regarding the transforming of SPZOZs into capital companies. First, it seems necessary to carry out a simulation of costs and advantages of the assumed models and solutions together with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the new legal and organisational forms. The aim of this paper is to assess whether the process of transforming SPZOZs into capital companies is purposeful and reasonable, and to define a way to prepare hospitals for functioning in an altered legislative environment. The paper draws attention to the fact that transformation itself does not guarantee that the results achieved by the given entity will automatically improve. The transformation can bring financial advantages for the newly created company and the local government, from the subsidies and remissions in accordance with art. 197 of the act on medical activity. Yet the conditions for getting such help are quite restrictive and not in every situation can financial help from the central budget be counted on. Such aid could help improve the financial standing of a hospital considerably. Also, it must be remembered that a hospital transformed into a capital company acquires the capacity to go bankrupt. If the new entity generates a loss, it may result in the owner having to raise the initial capital in order to avoid filing a bankruptcy petition by the company. In practice, the financial consequences for the local government are the same as in the case of having to cover losses. The difference lies in the continuity of the provided medical services.

Systemic management of a local government unit lacks viewing the LGU as an economic entity which should actively use modern financial knowledge in its activity in order to stimulate active construction of an economic and social potential. It need’s to stimulate processes of building in local government structures a financial knowledge based on a modern understanding of LGU finance while considering the new challenges in finance which have been revealed after the subprime crisis, complemented with practical concepts based on New Public Management. Considering the progressing reforms of the national public finance system and the resulting consequences for shaping the financial management of the LGUs, and also globalisation processes and the dynamic development of the financial services’ market, it is natural to require managers of the local government subsector of public finance to have thorough financial knowledge – current and interdisciplinary knowledge that would most importantly be reliable and practice-based.

The article is an attempt at diagnosing training needs of the employees of units operating in health care sector in the Podkarpacie Province. In times of permanent changes affecting each sphere of economy, providers of health care services cannot afford to remain outside this trend. Improving qualifications, adaptability of the offer, influencing its quality, and above all, the awareness of the necessity of these changes, have become an element which is fully integrated also with this sphere of public sector operations. Taking into account the above, the article verifies not only training needs articulated by employees of Health Care Centers (HCC) operating in the Podkarpacie Province, but also the way they are perceived by the managers of these centers, the ability to define training needs and their compatibility with characteristic features of analyzed HCCs. Therefore special emphasis has been placed on demonstrating the variety of diagnosed training needs with reference to such criteria as the size of analyzed centers, the market serviced by them, and their location. These determinants allowed us to conduct a complex analysis of conditions and structure of voiced need for subject training, and as a consequence, contributed to diagnosing the expectations of the health care sector concerning initiatives improving the quality of public services in the health care services area.

In the article a concept of comparing public and private sector effectiveness is presented. It is based on an analysis of the productivity of capital and labour in both sectors. For this purpose, the authors build growth model in the general and intensive form, taking into account public and private sectors and their relationships in terms of gross value of fixed assets, and employment. Empirical analysis is carried out using a panel model for Polish provinces in the years 2002-2009. The analysis show that the size of the public sector in terms of labour and capital is negatively correlated with Gross Domestic Product and gross value added per employee. Research has shown that the productivity in the two sectors is different. The private sector has a higher productivity of both labour and capital in comparison to the public sector. The authors are of the opinion that the analysis in terms of labour and capital in both sectors substantially complements the more common approach aimed at measuring the effectiveness of public sector from the point of view of expenditures. Proposed analysis has the advantage that it expresses two sectors, which use different accounting categories, in the same economic terms – productivity.

Strategia rozwoju jest swego rodzaju planem — dokumentem kompleksowym określającym podstawowe kierunki rozwoju podmiotu lub grupy podmiotów, który to plan równocześnie uwzględnia potencjał tkwiący w podmiotach, dla których realizowana jest strategia, jak również bierze pod uwagę możliwości rozwoju, które daje otoczenie zarówno gospodarcze, jak i społeczne. Niezbędnym działaniem, jakie musi wykonać organizacja mająca już wypracowaną i zaakceptowaną wizję rozwoju, jest jej umiejętne przełożenie na konkretne działania o charakterze operacyjnym, czyli opracowanie planu operacyjnego. Buduje się go zazwyczaj w oparciu o technikę Zarządzania poprzez Cele (Management by Objectives) lub Strategiczną Kartę Wyników (Balanced Scorecard ). W nieniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiona została strategia rozwoju Transgranicznego Klastra Tufów Zeolitowych. W pierwszej części artykułu przedstawuione zostały cele ogólne i cząstkowe klastra wypracowane podczas diagnozy strategicznej, następnie opracowana została strategiczna karta wyników dla klastra, jako narzędzie tworzenia strategii klastra.

Formułą, która zyskuje obecnie coraz szersze grono zwolenników jest koncepcja klastra i polityki rozwoju (tak w wymiarze lokalnym jak i ponadlokalnym) opartej o klastry (z ang. cluster-based policy lub cluster-oriented policy).

The issue of the size of public administration is commonly researched. Most of the times this topic is tackled from a macroeconomic perspective, considering local and central administration together. That is why this paper uniquely takes on the local perspective only, analysing the size of local government (i.e. size of public administration at the local level) in Polish regions during the period of 2009–2013. Based on the existing literature, we chose five variables of the size of local administration at the commune level connected with employment and reflecting costs related to the functioning of local administration structures. All indicators were expressed per capita. With the usage of ANOVA, we proved significant differences in the size of public administration across regions for all variables. To compare the size of local governments across regions, we ranked all variables individually, and then we calculated the average ranking for all variables. Our findings have clear implications for policy makers, providing information about the regions with the biggest/smallest size of public administration at the local level. Our study suggests simple and accessible tool for continuous reporting on the size of public administration in order to monitor costs also in the upcoming years. The results of the monitoring could also be used for the establishment of an incentive program for regional policy representatives.

A measure of economic development for regions is proposed in the form of a multicomponent index. This measure is composed of the following aspects: technology, infrastructure, human capital and social capital and defied by an array of indicators. Such a measure has significant advantages over the most commonly used indicator of GDP per capita. The statistical data based on which it is built are freely available and with a much shorter time lag than GDP at the regional level. This indicator makes it possible to depict economic factors behind long-run economic growth as well as to include less measurable factors such as social change, environmental degradation, etc. On the one hand, the proposed indicator comprises symptoms of the quality of life, and on the other hand, it includes factors which are essential for long-run economic growth and productivity. The authors show usefulness of such an indicator for policy formulation, which is rarely pointed out in the case of other indexes and is especially important at a time when long-run economic growth, and also development, in high-developed countries is endangered. The authors also discuss some general aspects of constructing indexes of economic development for regions, e.g., the often omitted problem of inclusion of cyclical indicators in the indexes of development. Empirical analysis of the proposed indicator is made for the NUTS-2 regions of Poland for the years 2009–2011.

W artykule zaproponowano miernik rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego województw o postaci wskaźnika wielokomponentowego. Miernik obejmuje następujące obszary: technologia, infrastruktura, kapitał ludzki i kapitał społeczny, które definiowane są przez wiele innych wskaźników. Posiada on znaczące przewagi w stosunku do najczęściej stosowanego wskaźnika PKB per capita. Dane statystyczne, na podstawie których jest tworzony, są powszechnie dostępne i ze znacznie mniejszym opóźnieniem niż PKB na poziomie regionów. Wskaźnik ten pozwala ująć czynniki gospodarcze związane z długookresowym wzrostem gospodarczym, jak i efekty zewnętrzne, takie jak zmiany społeczne oraz zanieczyszczenie środowiska i inne. Zaproponowana konstrukcja wskaźnika obejmuje elementy wskaźników jakości życia, popularnych na poziomie krajów, jednak uwzględnia również czynniki niezbędne dla rozwoju gospodarek, a prowadzące do wzrostu wydajności pracy. Autorzy stoją na stanowisku, że takie ujęcie jest niezbędne w dobie problemów gospodarek z długookresowym wzrostem gospodarczym, wpływającym na ich rozwój. W artykule dokonano analizy empirycznej zaproponowanego miernika w odniesieniu do województw w latach 2009–2011. Stwierdzono podobieństwa, ale również wyraźne dywergencje wartości zaproponowanego wskaźnika w przekroju województw w stosunku do PKB per capita. Bazując na powyższych ustaleniach, dokonano także analizy przyczyn takiego stanu rzeczy.

Cet article vise à évaluer la productivité et la compétitivité du secteur agricole en Pologne. Les données utilisées dans l’article ont été fournies par le Réseau de données comptables agricoles polonais et l’Office central des statistiques, ce qui en fait une source d’information représentative et fiable sur l’agriculture en Pologne. Des études ont montré que le secteur agricole en Pologne est caractérisé par une faible productivité, en particulier des petites et moyennes exploitations agricoles qui existent en Pologne, ainsi que par une faible compétitivité interne mesurée par la part du secteur agricole national dans la production du PIB.Des études ont montré, d’autre part, que la situation du secteur est relativement favorable en termes de compétitivité externe, représentée par sa part dans les exportations.

This article attempts to assess the productivity and competitiveness of the agricultural sector in Poland. The data used in the article were provided by Polish FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) and the Central Statistical Office, which makes them a representative and reliable source of information on agriculture in Poland. Studies have shown that the agricultural sector in Poland is characterised by low productivity, especially of small and medium-sized farms prevailing in Poland, as well as low internal competitiveness measured by the share of the national agricultural sector in generating GDP. Studies have shown, on the other hand, that the situation of the sector is relatively well presented in terms of the external competitiveness represented by its share in exports.
