Purchasing is the management of the company’s external resources in such way that the supply of all goods and services which are necessary for running, maintaining and managing the company’s primary and support activities is secured at the most favourable conditions. Purchasing activity in companies has a technical, commercial, logistical and marketing dimension. Mutual overlapping of the areas of purchasing, logistics and marketing is fully justified. All logistical aspects in purchasing activity should be of interest to purchasing and logistics. The same applies to purchasing and marketing. However, it is unjustified to annex purchasing to one or both of the above-mentioned disciplines.

The objective of the paper is to carry out preliminary review of project management approach introduced into the sphere of public management in Poland by the EU programming policy. One of driving forces of this new approach as a result of the EU infl uence was to develop new culture within the Polish public management system. Key element of  the new culture is delegating part of public policies delivery for the NGO sector on project basis. Our review indicates quite complex picture with some key features of particular importance: a) project approach enforced trends for professionalization and growing up of size/budgets of some NGOs through high procedural and fi nancial requirement to be met by NGOs to apply and successfully implement projects; b) however, the same  equirement created a formal institutional wall for smaller organizations; c) it seems that some concerns related to overdependence of NGOs to donors at the expense of bottom-up identifi ed areas of interventions proved to be to overdue. Programmes provides really wide spectrum of “translation” of local needs into EU programmes languages.

Artykuł porusza problematykę funkcjonowania współczesnych rynków usług portowych. Rozwój międzynarodowych łańcuchów dostaw, postęp techniczny i procesy integracyjne w żegludze morskiej, rozwój konteneryzacji, nasilająca się konkurencja na rynkach portowych, wymogi ochrony środowiska naturalnego powodują konieczność dostosowywania się portowych usługodawców do zmieniających się oczekiwań i wymagań klientów, zarówno gestorów ładunków, jak i przewoźników, zwłaszcza morskich. Ich działania dostosowawcze wiążą się z podejmowaniem inwestycji służących zapewnieniu odpowiedniego potencjału do obsługi ładunków, pasażerów i środków transportu, wymaganej jakości oferowanych usług, ale także z właściwą organizacją portowych ośrodków podażowych i prowadzą do budowania ich konkurencyjności. Zarówno czynniki związane z otoczeniem portów morskich, jak i te o charakterze wewnątrzportowym wpływają na zmiany w relacjach podaży i popytu na rynkach usług portowych. Współczesne rynki usług portowych charakteryzują pewne zjawiska świadczące o ich zmianach i rozwoju. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie istoty rynku usług portowych oraz jego powiązań z otoczeniem, które ulegając bardzo szybkim i poważnym zmianom, tworzy nowe warunki funkcjonowania portowych ośrodków podażowych oraz całych rynków usług portowych.

This article describes the issues associated with functioning of contemporary seaport services markets. The growth of international supply chains, technical progress and the integration processes in shipping, growth of containerization, increasing competition in the seaport services markets and environmental protection regulations make it necessary for port service providers to adapt to the changing expectations and requirements of their customers, both shippers and, especially maritime, carriers. Thus, the activities they undertake are associated with making investments to ensure an adequate capacity to handle cargo, passengers and means of transport, required quality of service, but also with appropriate organization of port supply centres and lead to an improvement of their competitiveness. Both the factors associated with the external and internal environment of seaports affect the changes in the relationship between the supply and demand on port services markets. Contemporary port services markets are characterized by certain phenomena which can be a sign of their adaptation and development. The aim of this article is to present the essence of the port services market and its relationship with the environment, which subject to rapid and significant changes, creates new conditions for the operation of port supply centres and the entire port services market.

Transport accessibility of seaports is a frequently studied area in economic research. In practice, port operators and authorities use it to promote their services and compete in the market. Up to this day, theoretical basis of seaports transport accessibility has not been properly described. The article attempts to systematize and expend the knowledge in this field. New definitions of transport availability from wider and narrower perspectives were suggested; different types of accessibility and their mutual relations were explained. These ideas were complemented by introducing classification of factors affecting transport accessibility of seaports.

The paper presents opinions of agricultural advisors of Regional Agricultural Advisors Centres and private advisory firms. The objective of research was to carry out initial identification of factors leading to effectiveness improvements of agricultural advisory in supporting innovativeness in agriculture. As a result the following factors/barriers were identified as constrains for agricultural advisory activities aimed at supporting innovation in agriculture: − advisors are focused in their service in providing assistance for farmers in application development for various forms of the EU programmes at the expense of technological advisory, − assistance to farmers in development of direct payment applications overlap with the spring season field works – the best timing for dissemination of technological innovations; this time structure of advisors work limits effectiveness of their potential for promotion of pro-innovative solutions, − financial allocation for operational activities focused on providing services at farm location is too limited within budgets of Regional Agricultural Advisory Centres; subsequently, substantial part of advisory services are provided at offices of advisors or by phone, − one of expectation regarding advisors work is ability for objective evaluation of “value of proposed new solutions”; key condition to meet this requirement is the most update professional knowledge on any given topics, it is difficult to have such information without contact with science, leading practical researches and access to proper information system. − Low salaries for agricultural advisors operating in public sector substantially limit incentives for new entrances, it leads to taking approach of avoiding new and risky challenges in professional activities.
