Na długofalowy i zrównoważony rozwój wpływa z jednej strony mikroekonomiczne zarządzania, a z drugiej makroekonomiczna polityka. Tylko pozytywna synergia obu tych sfer ekonomicznej aktywności stwarza szansę na sukces w globalnej gospodarce. Przytaczając przykłady różnych krajów, autor pokazuje zależności związane z poziomem rozwoju technologicznego, jakością kapitału ludzkiego, umiejętnościami menedżerskimi i marketingowymi, ale także jakością państwa, usług publicznych, instytucji a konkurencyjnością w gospodarce globalnej. Do rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego nie wystarczą tylko zdolność do akumulacji kapitału oraz postęp techniczny. Potrzebna jest jeszcze umiejętność mikroekonomicznego zarządzania, a w wielu krajach luka występująca na tym odcinku jest znacznie większa niż luka technologiczna, podkreśla autor.

Introduction. Environmental conditions have been changing over the years and the body’s capacity to adapt affects human development, its growth and typogenesis. Aim. To confirm the secular trend in the population of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 from Rzeszów in the last 35 years in terms of growing and differentiation body proportions. Materials and methods. In 2013/2014, a total of 1,563 children from Rzeszów were examined. The length of the trunk, the upper limb, the lower limb, the width of the shoulders and the width of the hips were measured and the following indices were calculated: trunk length, upper limb length, lower limb length, inter-limb, hip-shoulder and shoulder width. The data was subjected to statistical analysis and compared to the data collected in 1978/79, 1993/1994 and 2003/2004. Results. During the 35-year period, the following symptoms were observed: elongation of upper and lower limbs in both sexes, increase in shoulder width in boys from 15-18 years of age, and in girls generally in the entire examined age, tendency to decrease in hip width in both sexes in most age classes. Conclusions. The secular trend in the population of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 from Rzeszów in the last 35 years regarding growth process and differentiating body proportions was confirmed.

A commune is a basic self-government unit in Poland. Handing over a part of qualifications to the local level of self-government engendered the need of the effective and creative resource management for social, economic and ecological development of communes. Tools of infrastructure stimulating constitute the special group of instruments of local development. Equipping the area with social and economic infrastructure is one of factors and of indicators of investment attractiveness. It influences the quality of life of inhabitants. It is also contributing to the development of existing companies and attracting the outside investments. Tools that can be used in this area are: co-financing of investment by the commune and the independent realization by the commune of infrastructure investments. A main goal of this contribution is an attempt of the assessment of the results of projects co-financed from EU funds carried out in the field of the road infrastructure as the effective tool of the local politics. Analysis will concern the City of Białystok which is dynamically using public funds for the improvement in the infrastructure. In particular it will include results of all selected projects.

Upon accession to the European Union, the SME sector in Poland found itself in a much more difficult situation than that of similar enterprises which had operated in the EU for years. New phenomena have occurred in this environment, including globalization, with not only its economic dimension, but also structural and functional ones, which comprehensively affects all fields of enterprises’ operations. Growth of competitiveness of SMEs, in particular of microenterprises, is a very interesting aspect and questions arise as to possible new methods of management which could help achieve this goal. This article presents the author's own research on SMEs in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship from the perspective of competitive factors in the management process. The factors of chief significance to growth and development are presented as exemplified by marketing and logistic management process in a microenterprise.

The paper examines the latest trends in theoretical research into possible interactions between institutional change and economic policy in the process of growth. Even though the article focuses on changes in the theoretical approach to economic growth and development, the author analyzes these issues in combination with actual economic processes. New trends and processes that have taken place over the past decade or so have led to radical changes in economic theory. This is primarily because the previously used and recommended tools were inefficient. The author describes past experiences that defy traditional interpretation and call for a more adequate approach. The article shows that institutional change is seen as an important factor not only in development economics, but also in empirical studies of economic growth conducted as part of mainstream economics. The author’s analysis of the current stage of research shows that, contrary to expectations, the differences between economic policy and institutional change are still unclear; they are mostly intuitive and arbitrary in nature, and the terms themselves are either imprecise or, in some cases, left completely undefined. This means that researchers have insufficiently examined the complementariness, substitutability and relative autonomy of institutions with regard to economic policy, the author concludes. Consequently, in the coming years, those conducting research into economic growth should analyze the role of institutions and economic policy with greater precision, Wojtyna says.

Published studies world wide demonstrate that measures of human development and health status vary depending on the month of birth but these patterns are not always consistent and sometimes even conflict. Direct factors related to the birth season that may significantly differentiate morphological and functional traits and mechanisms causing these relations have not been found so far. On the basis of cross-sectional material, gathered in the years 1983 and 2000 by the Department of Anthropology of the Academy of Physical Education in Cracow, two main hypotheses have been verified: (1) average body height differences by month of birth are statistically insignificant, (2) the magnitude of these differences does not change with time. Metric data of 4672 girls aged 5-18 years, born in 1965-1978 and 1982-1995, were used. The total sample was also subdivided into prepubertal (5-9 years) and adolescent (10-18 years) groups. The age of the individuals was calculated to the nearest day and the procedure of standardization on the interpolated values of regional norms was applied. A highly significant relationship between the birth month and average values of height was revealed in preadolescent girls. The results obtained for the entire material proved insignificant. The patterns of the month-of-birth effect on body height for girls born in 60./70. and 80./90. show high similarity, though the effect seems weaker in the latter sample. Winter proved to be the most favorable birth season for later body height.

Wyniki badań populacji i grup lokalnych z różnych kontynentów wskazują na istnienie związku między sezonem urodzenia a stanem zdrowia i kondycją biologiczną człowieka oraz stanem i dynamiką rozwoju fizycznego. Dotychczas jednak nie rozstrzygnięto ostatecznie: (a) czy efekt sezonu urodzenia jest zjawiskiem rzeczywistym czy artefaktem i jakie jest zróżnicowanie zjawiska w czasie i w przestrzeni, (b) jakie bezpośrednie czynniki związane z sezonem urodzenia istotnie różnicują wartości cech metrycznych, (c) jaki jest mechanizm różnicującego wpływu czynników związanych z sezonem urodzenia na wielkość ciała.Sformułowano następujące hipotezy badawcze: (1) różnice średnich wysokości ciała według miesiąca urodzenia są statystycznie nieistotne, a (2) wielkość tych różnic nie zmienia się w czasie. Weryfikacji dokonywano na podstawie materiałów antropometrycznych z Katedry Antropologii AWF w Krakowie, z badań przekrojowych dzieci krakowskich w 1983 i 2000 roku, wykorzystując dane o wysokości ciała łącznie dla 4672 dziewcząt w wieku 5-18 lat (Tab. 1). Indywidualne wartości wysokości ciała standaryzowano na wiek w odniesieniu do norm regionalnych [Chrzanowska i in. 1988, 2002], co umożliwiło ich grupowanie wg miesiąca urodzenia. Procedurą standaryzacji na wartości interpolowane, uwzględniającą dokładny (do jednego dnia) wiek osobników w chwili badania, zniwelowano różnice między osobnikami zaliczonymi do tej samej rocznej grupy wiekowej (Tab. 2).Istotne statystycznie zróżnicowanie przeciętnej wysokości ciała, w zależności od sezonu urodzenia, ujawniło się tylko w wieku przedpokwitaniowym (Fig. 1A i 1B). Wzorce badanego zjawiska dla obu kohort wiekowych wykazują znaczne podobieństwo, choć wpływ miesiąca urodzenia jest mniejszy u dziewcząt badanych w 2000 roku. Wyniki porównań badanych grup między sobą oraz na tle innych populacji lokalnych z terenu Polski pokazują podobieństwo wzorców badanej zależności (Fig. 2). Podobnie jak w przypadku dzieci miejskich z Katowic [Puch i Kozłowska-Rajewicz 2004] i dzieci wiejskich z Barcian [Kościńskiet al. 2004] najwyższe średnie wartości wysokości ciała stwierdzono u dziewcząt urodzonych w miesiącach grudzień - marzec, najniższe czerwiec - wrzesień. Wyniki badań wpływu sezonu urodzenia na wysokość ciała z różnych rejonów świata, pomimo braku jednolitego wzorca, wykazują pewne uporządkowanie miesięcy mniej i bardziej korzystnych dla przeciętnych wartości cechy i w świetle badań Waldiet al.[2000] i Cummingsa [2002, 2003] mogą przemawiać za koncepcją usłonecznienia jako czynnika wywołującego obserwowane zróżnicowanie (Tab. 3).Niezależnie od tego, jakie bezpośrednie czynniki i mechanizmy leżą u podstawy badanego zjawiska, wyniki dotychczasowych badań różnych grup lokalnych z terenu Polski upoważniają do sformułowania następujących wniosków: istnieje istotny związek między miesiącem (sezonem) urodzenia a wysokością ciała; związek ten ujawnia się w wieku przedpokwitaniowym i zmniejsza się w czasie, a przeciętne wartości cechy są wyższe u urodzonych zimą i niższe u urodzonych latem.

The relationship between international trade and growth is one of the most popular debates in international economics literature. Although there are numerous theoretical approaches and empirical studies about the issue, the direction of the causality and the magnitude of the interaction still remain unclear. In this study, qualitative comparative analysis introduced by Ragin (1987) is applied, different from the previous empirical studies on the topic. The results present the conditions for growth in the country groups involved. The findings imply that trade policy is still of great importance in terms of stimulating growth in developing countries, while it has little importance in developed countries.

The main objective of this paper is to synthetically present primary sources and agents of Germany's leading position in the global economy at the turn of the I and II decade of the twenty-first century. Economic growth and economic development is the result of many factors of different nature: traditional and modern, objective and subjective, exogenous and endogenous, economic and non-economic, with institutional and cultural to begin with. This universal statement also fully applies to German economy. The German experience in the restructuring of the economy is valuable from the Polish point of view, despite many well-known differences of the two economies. Germany, despite all the economic disruption and the difficulties of a structural nature (with the demographics to begin with), and dilemmas as to the future of the so called social market economy will remain a powerful and rich country. The economic situation of Poland depended, depends and will depend on the global prosperity, and thus the prosperity of our closest partner, i.e. Germany.

The article analyzes the insurance market trends, which have been determined by the financial crisis, and reveals the development features and prospects of non-insurance market, which accounts for almost 70% of the total insurance market, in Lithuania. The obtained results showed that after the market shrank by a quarter in 2009, the insurance sector is recovering, and while the volume of issued insurance premiums increased in 2013, they still remain lower than during the pre-crisis period. 2010 is a distinctive year for the Lithuanian non-insurance market due to a track of unusual abundance of adverse events. Throughout the analyzed period the structure of the non-insurance market issued portfolios remained the same in Lithuania, and throughout the whole analyzed period non-insurance market is dominated by Mandatory Third Party Liability Insurance (MTPLI), Voluntary vehicle insurance (CASCO) and Property insurances, which, according to estimates and analysts' forecasts, have growth potential.

The article identifies and analyses the reasons crisis befalls enterprises, and their influence on enterprise survival and growth. Analyses were performed based on small and micro- enterprises, both important components of an economy. The investigations were performed for three firms and were done in two stages. The small businesses surveyed may be found in the first two phases of L. E. Greiner’s model. Emerging crises are overcome by delegating power and cooperating. In the second stage of the research, the owners answered a questionnaire concerning the cause of crisis and its influence on enterprise growth.

Recent economic turmoil has revived interest in the quest for sustainable growth. Current economic thinking attaches growing importance to industrial development. The roots of such thinking can be traced back to traditional arguments about the beneficial role of manufacturing for economic growth through horizontal and vertical spillovers to other sectors. These spillovers are of particular importance at the regional level, as such externalities tend to be localized in nature. The objective of this paper is to explore the relationship between economic structure and regional growth in ten Western European EU member states in the post-crisis period. The analysis wishes to answer the question of whether regions with a higher concentration of manufacturing outperform their counterparts with more diverse economic structures. A spatial panel econometric technique is applied in order to distinguish between the intra-regional and inter-regional effects of economic structure, yielding recommendations for policy makers in the field of industrial policy.

International statistics show that small firms are the dominant form of business enterprise today. Yet, despite ongoing research into the theory of the firm, there is still no common view on the mechanisms of firm growth. This article aims to stimulate further theoretical and empirical research into firm growth. In the first part of the paper, the author reviews the most seminal theories of the growth of the firm to date, noting that there are two broadly perceived schools of thought within the analysed field. The first approach advocates a more or less stochastic pattern of firm growth. The second research school holds that the resources at the firm’s disposal are the differentiators, drivers of, but also limits to, firm growth. In the second part of the paper, based on the literature review and deduction, the author develops an alternative model of firm growth. Building on the properties of the Markovian processes, he shows that it may be because of the seemingly rational behaviour of firm incumbents that most firms do not grow in size beyond some satisfying level. The proposed model of firm growth is equally applicable to firms of all sizes operating in all industries and markets.
