The main problem dealt with in the publication is the role of technological entrepreneurship in stimulating the processes of development and restructuring of the global economy. The purpose of the paper is to identify and analyze the factors of development and restructuring of the global economy against the background of the challenges and circumstances arising out of compliance with the criteria of sustainable and inclusive development. The paper provides an overview based on the analysis of the world literature, including the Polish contribution, as well as on the experience gained thus far by the leaders in the civilizational transformations of the last decades. The processes illustrating the emergence of a new economic map of the world were based on information concerning the ranking of the technology readiness level — i.e., the capability of an economy to absorb technologies increasing productivity of production factors. This parameter is currently the key element of the economic competitiveness of the individual states. The sources of this information were global reports issued by the OECD, various UN agencies, the World Economic Forum, as well as independent international analytical institutions. The common access to products created as a result of applying disruptive technologies implies a large number of civilizational threats of a hitherto unknown scale. It is advisable to undertake formative actions addressed to users of new devices concerning responsible use of the achievements of inventors and manufacturers of new products.

Głównym problemem, podjętym w publikacji jest rola przedsiębiorczości technologicznej w dynamizacji procesów rozwoju i strukturalnych przekształceń gospodarki światowej. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja czynników rozwoju i restrukturyzacji gospodarki światowej na tle wyzwań i uwarunkowań, wynikających z przestrzegania kryteriów rozwoju zrównoważonego oraz inkluzywnego. Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy, oparty jest na analizie literatury światowej, w tym polskiej a także dotychczasowych doświadczeń liderów transformacji cywilizacyjnej. Procesy ilustrujące powstanie nowej, gospodarczej mapy świata oparto na informacjach dotyczących rankingu gotowości technologicznej, to jest zdolności gospodarki do absorbowania technologii, zwiększających wydajność czynników wytwórczych. Parametr ten stanowi obecnie kluczowy element konkurencyjności gospodarczej poszczególnych państw. Źródła tych informacji stanowiły globalne raporty OECD, agend ONZ, World Economic Forum oraz niezależnych, międzynarodowych instytucji analitycznych. Powszechny dostęp do produktów, powstałych w wyniku zastosowania technologii przełomowych, stwarza wiele zagrożeń cywilizacyjnych o nieznanej dotychczas skali. Celowe jest podjęcie przedsięwzięć formacyjnych wobec użytkowników nowych urządzeń dla odpowiedzialnego korzystania z osiągnięć wynalazców i wytwórców nowych produktów.

The work focuses on the controversy about technological progress and unlimited access to all kinds of energy acquisition, storage and distribution. It suggests a formula for energy acquisition and usage which embraces issues of peace and war, social conflicts, and stability determined by access to energy conditioned by the state of the climate of our planet. The question is how will an interdisciplinary combination of progress and future implementation of technologies influence energy security of states and social entities, their natural environment, up to 2030 and beyond? The methods used in the work rely on a non – linear approach to disruptive technologies combined with empirical verifiability of scientific progress in the field of energy acquisition and use. They are reinforced with drivers taken from development scenarios gained through technological development in quantum mechanics, molecular biology, and computational techniques. The result is a conceptual approach to energy acquisition and distribution for states, their communities and individuals regardless of whether the technologies are “civil” or “military” in their essence. The recalled disruptive technologies shape factors of social development and create conditions for human existence and the natural environment that influence the security of states and social entities. The development of automation and robotics, digital transformation, bio-technologies and cognitive science creates new energy security for states, social entities and the natural environment. Technologies for the generation, processing and distribution of energy create an almost unlimited perspective of reconfiguration of existing forms of life and their safety.

This paper reviews the disruptive technologies literature and the potential impact disruptive technologies will have in the boardroom. Changes in industries and the growth of technology are creating a new paradigm shift in industries and strategic planning within the corporate world. Disruptive technologies are changing the very fabric of our decision making and how we deliver products and services. The last ten years have seen exponential growth in research on disruptive technologies and their impact on industries, supply chains, resources, training, education and employment markets. Current research predicts changes in how we will conduct our daily lives and, ultimately, in the workforce of the future. Predictions are seldom totally correct as the technologies often move in directions we failed to anticipate. The debate is still open on who will be the winners and losers of future industries, but what is certain is that change has picked up pace and we are now in a new technology revolution whose impact is potentially greater than the industrial revolution. This paper gathers past research on disruptive technologies in order to better understand the pace and direction of change and how it will influence the role of boards in helping directors to adapt to manage the changing business world.
