Background and purpose: Participation of future entrepreneurs in Academic Incubators of Entrepreneurship (AIE) in Poland is one of the innovative paths to shape their managerial competences. The aim of the paper is to analyse and evaluate the activities of the AIEs as an environment inside of which managerial competencies are formed, and formulate recommendations concerning the improvement of AIEs, in terms of the development of managerial skills of future entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach: The author relied on research - study surveys and empirical, qualitative, exploratory research, which were supported by figures. The author focused on four important issues: - Motives of researchers and students interested in the support of AIE; - The quality of support offered by the incubator to its participants as well as the frequency of use of this support by future entrepreneurs; - The possibility of extending the support system for AIE participants; - Traits / managerial and entrepreneurial competences desired in people running their own businesses. Results: AIE participants are focused primarily on implementing their business ventures and to a much lesser extent, care about the simultaneous development of their managerial competencies to manage these projects. It is manifested, among other by differentiated assessment of the suitability of certain forms of support from the incubator and the low intensity of use of this support. Despite this, AIE participants perceive the development of desirable traits and strengthening of specific entrepreneurial, management competencies. It is not a very dynamic growth, although it translates into their motivation to start a business after leaving the incubator. Conclusion: It is recommended to place greater emphasis on mobilizing the future entrepreneurs to make use of forms of support for the development of their managerial competences. It is necessary for complex preparation of future entrepreneurs to independently conduct business after leaving the incubator

The aim of this paper is to examine the role and scope of the influence of leadership on the sustainable development of SMEs. Research methods included the theoretical analysis of scientific literature and a direct survey. The quantitative sample for analysis contained 138 managers, the representatives of companies (SMEs) located in Poland. The data was collected in November and December 2015. The obtained results show that leadership is one of the key aspects that enable sustainability. It is more important than employee approval, beliefs of employees from individual departments and teams, a long-term strategy for the sustainable development of the company, approval by external stakeholders, and substantial financial resources. There is a statistically significant relationship between taking action related to sustainable business in the company and manager’s conviction (awareness) regarding the concept of sustainable business development as well as the influence of the manager on employees and the stimulation of their behaviour, including their development, decent treatment, communication with the manager, and the system of rewards and promotions. Managers undertake some action aimed at developing their employees. They also establish relationships with external stakeholders. The paper presents theoretical reflections on the relationship between the sustainable business development of SMEs and leadership, also verified by the empirical study conducted among managers of private companies. The findings of the study contribute to the understanding of the connections between these constructs. The relationship between the creation of sustainable business development is analysed in depth with reference to SMEs. Entrepreneurs and managers of SMEs can benefit from the study in order to build an organisation capable of achieving effective and sustainable development.

Rozwój współpracy transgranicznej w Unii Europejskiej wymaga doskonalenia instrumentów organizacyjno-prawnych wspierających współpracę władz lokalnych i regionalnych sąsiadujących obszarów przygranicznych. Jednym z takich instrumentów może być Transgraniczny Obszar Funkcjonalny (TOF). Autorzy artykułu byli realizatorami pionierskiego projektu zleconego przez Komisję Europejską, którego celem było powołanie na pograniczu polsko-litewskim pierwszego w Europie TOF. Obszar ten obejmował dziewięć miast i gmin z powiatów sejneńskiego i suwalskiego w Polsce oraz trzy samorządy litewskie: Łoździeje (lit. Lazdijai), Wyłkowyszki (lit. Vilkaviškis) i Kalwarię (lit. Kalvarija). Celem głównym artykułu jest identyfikacja atrybutów TOF jako instrumentu organizacyjno-prawnego wspierającego rozwój współpracy transgranicznej. Celem dodatkowym jest wskazanie i omówienie kluczowych determinant organizacyjno-prawnych rozwoju TOF na pograniczu polsko-litewskim. Artykuł ma charakter naukowo-badawczy. Scharakteryzowano w nim TOF na tle innych instytucjonalnych form współpracy transgranicznej, omówiono podstawy prawne utworzenia TOF, przedstawiono strukturę organizacyjną i zidentyfikowano kluczowych interesariuszy. Brak definicji prawnej TOF utrudnia, ale nie uniemożliwia stosowania tego instrumentu we współpracy transgranicznej. Znaczenie powiązań funkcjonalnych w relacjach transgranicznych w Unii jest na tyle istotne, że wskazana jest realizacja dalszych badań dotyczących instytucjonalizacji współpracy w ramach transgranicznych obszarów funkcjonalnych.

The development of cross-border cooperation in the European Union requires the refinement of organisational and legal instruments which support the cooperation of the local and regional authorities in neighbouring border regions. One such instrument may be the Cross-Border Functional Area (CFA). The authors of the article were in charge of the implementation of a pioneering project commissioned by Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (European Commission) to establish the first CFA in Europe in the Polish-Lithuanian border region. It was formed by nine cities and communes (Pol. gmina) from Sejny and Suwałki counties and three Lithuanian local authorities: Lazdijai, Vilkaviškis and Kalvarija. The main objective of the article is to identify the qualities of a CFA as an organisational and legal instrument supporting the development of cross-border cooperation. An additional objective is to identify the key organisational and legal determinants of the development of the CFA in the Polish-Lithuanian border region. The article has a scientific and research character. It characterises CFAs in relation to other forms of institutional cross-border cooperation, discusses the legal basis for the establishment of a CFA, presents the organisational structure and identifies the key stakeholders. The lack of a legal definition of a CFA makes its use difficult, but not impossible. The importance of functional connections in cross-border cooperation in the EU is sufficiently significant to warrant further research on the institutionalisation of cooperation within cross-border functional areas.

Eskalacja wojny po rosyjskiej inwazji na Ukrainę 24 lutego 2022 r. znacznie zintensyfikowała odpływ ludności z tego kraju, zwłaszcza przez granicę polsko-ukraińską. Wpłynęło to na sytuację, m.in. na rynku pracy, w regionach graniczących z Ukrainą. Celem badania omawianego w artykule jest ocena odporności rynku pracy w Polsce na pograniczu z Ukrainą na wpływ wojny w Ukrainie. Przyjęto, że sytuację na rynku pracy będzie charakteryzowała stopa bezrobocia, a wpływ wojny będzie wyrażony napływem uchodźców. Badaniem objęto regiony NUTS 2 leżące przy granicy z Ukrainą, czyli województwa lubelskie i podkarpackie. Postawiono hipotezę, że napływ uchodźców wojennych z Ukrainy spowodował wzrost bezrobocia w regionach przygranicznych. W badaniu wykorzystano dane za okres od 2014 r., czyli od początku rosyjsko-ukraińskiego konfliktu zbrojnego, do końca 2022 r., zaczerpnięte z Banku Danych Lokalnych GUS. Posłużono się kontrfaktyczną metodą porównania „przed i po”. Do oceny różnic między obserwowaną a hipotetyczną stopą bezrobocia użyto wskaźnika ATE (ang. average treatment effect), czyli średniego efektu oddziaływania. Całkowity średni wpływ wojny został określony jako różnica między średnimi wartościami zmiennych wynikowych (stopy bezrobocia) w przypadku wojny a sytuacją kontrfaktyczną. Wyniki badania świadczą o tym, że regiony Polski graniczące z Ukrainą odczuły wpływ wojny w Ukrainie w postaci wzrostu stopy bezrobocia wyższego niż w innych regionach Polski, gdzie sytuacja na rynku pracy była bardziej stabilna, choć trzeba zauważyć, że różnica ta była niewielka. Ponadto należy zaznaczyć, że na badaną sytuację miały wpływ również inne czynniki, których nie uwzględniono w modelu.

The escalation of the war following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022 significantly intensified the outflow of the people from that country, especially across the Polish-Ukrainian border. This in many ways affected the regions bordering Ukraine, including their labour markets. The aim of the research presented in the article is to assess the resilience of the Polish labour market in regions bordering Ukraine to the effects of the war in Ukraine. It is assumed that the situation on the labour market would be illustrated by the unemployment rate and the impact ofthe war expressed by the influx of refugeesT.he research concerns NUTS 2 regions bordering Ukraine, i.e. Lubelskie and Podkarpackie voivodships. The authors hypothesise that the inflow of war refugees from Ukraine increased unemployment in the border regions. The study is based on data covering the period from 2014, namely the beginning of the Russ-ian Ukrainian armed conflict, to the end of 2022. The data were provided by the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland. The counterfactual before-after comparison method was used. To assess the differences between the observed and the hypothetical unemployment rates, the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) index was used. The total average impact of the war on unemployment was defined as the difference between the mean values of the output variables (unemployment rate) in wartime and in a counterfactual situation. The research results show that the Polish regions bordering Ukraine w ere affected by the war in the form of increased unemployment rates compared to other regions in Poland where the situation on the labour market was more stable. However, it should be noted that the difference was only minor; furthermore, the model did not take into account other factors that also had an influence on the studied situation.
