This article attempts to identify the scale of outsourcing and its changes in the last decade. It is remarked that outsourcing has become a popular tool used to improve business efficiency. The financial crisis has not stopped the outsourcing processes, but slowed them slightly in 2009. The crisis also modified these processes in terms of their complexity, and diversified them geographically. Companies from China are still the most important suppliers of outsourcing services in the manufacturing sector, and companies from India – in the service sector. Central and East European countries, including Poland, have gained in significance

This paper examines the impact of outsourcing materials and services on labour costs in two groups: industrial and construction enterprises, and services enterprises in Poland during the period 2005-2013. The analysis of this dependency was conducted on the basic of aggregated data coming from Polish enterprises classified in these two groups according to the GDP20071. The preliminary analysis showed that Polish industrial and construction, and service enterprises applied both types of outsourcing, but outsourcing services had more important effect on labour costs than outsourcing materials. Econometric analysis confirmed that only outsourcing services had a positive but differential impact on labour cost per 1 worker in two groups, while outsourcing materials was responsible for negative, however weak, impact on these costs.

During the last several years most European countries have noted a rapid increase in the share of temporary employment in the total number of employees. Among the forms of temporary employment have dominated: fixed-term employment contracts and temporary work agencies employment. [OECD]. Poland was located among the top of the countries with rapidly growing temporary employment and high unemployment. In 2003, Poland introduced regulations regarding the employment of temporary workers. There was a sharp increase in demand for the services of temporary work agencies. The number of temporary workers rose from 0.23% of total employment in 2003 to 3.27% in 2012. Using empirical data, the author analyses the impact of temporary work agencies on the number of the unemployed. The results show that with the increase in the number of temporary work agencies, the number of the unemployed fell. Each agency employed an average of 795 unemployed. The largest group of temporary workers were those unemployed for 6 to 24 months.

O sprawności i skuteczności każdej organizacji decyduje umiejętność zarządzania szeregiem rutynowych oraz nowych procesów i zadań. Stąd grupa nowych lub zmodyfikowanych przedsięwzięć wymaga przede wszystkim zastosowania metod ułatwiających zarządzanie nimi i umożliwiających zakończenie ich realizacji w wyznaczonym terminie. W zarządzaniu niezbyt dużymi i niezbyt czasochłonnymi projektami, w szczególności na etapach planowania struktury, planowania przebiegu oraz planowania zasobów, często są wykorzystywane klasyczne wykresy Gantta umożliwiające zaplanowanie, a następnie kontrolowanie przebiegu realizacji danego przedsięwzięcia. Podobne wyniki dostarcza metoda ścieżki krytycznej (Critical Path Method – CPM), która jest mniej popularna w praktyce gospodarczej polskich podmiotów. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie wspólnych elementów wykresów Gantta i CPM oraz ocena ich ograniczeń i korzyści w zarządzaniu przedsięwzięciami. Analiza przykładowego zestawu czynności składających się na dane przedsięwzięcie pokazała, że wykres Gantta i metoda ścieżki krytycznej (CPM) wzajemnie się uzupełniają i jest uzasadnione stosowanie w praktyce tych obu metod jednocześnie. Dodatkowo zauważa się, że w wyznaczaniu ścieżki krytycznej przedsięwzięcia, w którym kilka czynności jest realizowanych w tym samym czasie, przewagę zyskuje CPM.

The efficiency of each organisation is determined by its ability to manage a range of both traditional and new processes and tasks. Therefore, especially new or modified projects require the use of methods that aid management and allow for a timely completion. In the management of not very large and not very time-consuming projects, particularly in the stages involving the planning of the structure, course planning and resource planning, classic Gantt charts are often used since they facilitate the planning and monitoring of project implementation. Similar results can be received by means of the Critical Path Method (CPM), which is less common in the practice of Polish business entities. The aim of this paper is to present the elements that the two methods have in common, and to assess their limitations and benefits for project management. Analysis of a sample set of actions comprising the project shows that the Gantt chart and the CPM are complementary and it is recommended that these two methods are used simultaneously. In addition, it is noted that when several activities are carried out at the same time, the CPM is capable of defining the critical path in a more precise way than Gantt Charts.

Corporate social responsibility has been widely discussed and analyzed from the business perspective for several decades. The changes and challenges that universities have had to face during this time made them begin to undertake, with varying degrees of awareness, socially responsible actions. The aim of the paper is to present the issue of university social responsibility and attempt to evaluate whether the activities undertaken by the Faculty of Economics and Management at the University of Bialystok can be regarded as socially responsible ones. The analysis of the actions taken by this institution leads to the conclusion that despite the lack of a formally developed concept of social responsibility, the Faculty engages in a number of pro-social activities.
