Benefits and cost of such research made through observation, interviews, documents analysis will be the subject of interest in the article based on a case study made by the author. The paper is not the whole analysis of qualitative research methods due to many textbooks and papers concerning such topics. The aim of the paper is to present possibilities of using qualitative methodology in family research.

Gospodarka współdzielenia uznana została ostatni laty za kluczowy model współczesnej ekonomii i późnego kapitalizmu. Oparta na wykorzystaniu modelu współpracy, współdzielenia, odejścia od kluczowej roli własności prywatnej w tworzeniu bogactwa, a przede wszystkim platform internetowych i rozwoju technologii staje się wyzwaniem dla współczesnych firm. Jej rola w kreowaniu rozwoju zrównoważonego staje się nieoceniona, a zarazem tworzy nowe wyzwania dla przyszłych modeli biznesowych. Celem artykułu przeglądowego jest ukazanie podstawowych założeń nowego modelu oraz również skutków, jakie niesie dla konsumpcji.
For many years, social capital has been the subject of research in various areas and social environments. What is worth diagnosing is not so much its functioning or formation, but its management, i.e. deliberate development aimed at achieving individual or collective benefits. The cultural borderland region of the Racibórz area, especially the town, is a good case for an analysis of such phenomena, because, over the centuries, the town has been part of various administrative and economic regimes and thus has developed forms of social capital independent of state structures. The main research questions in this paper are the following: What remains of them today? Are they subject to management processes?
Przyszłość wymaga od ludzi innego spojrzenia na funkcjonowanie organizacji, wykonywaną w nich przez ludzi pracę oraz posiadane przez menedżerów kompetencje. W świecie ponowoczesności i postfordyzmu gospodarka i organizacje funkcjonują w odmienny sposób niż w XX wieku. Tym samym innego rodzaju oczekiwania adresowane są do pracowników. Refleksyjność stała się nie tylko jednym z kluczowych zasobów ludzi i organizacji, lecz także przedmiotem kształcenia. Autorzy tekstu, w oparciu o model autoetnografii i action-research, ukazują autorskie narzędzie do pracy rozwojowej, skierowane do menedżerów i pracowników m.in. w kontekście kreowania i wyzwalania w nich refleksyjności. Etnografia obrazu, filozofia coachingu, hermeneutyka stanowią podstawy teoretyczne do skonstruowania modelu nowego modelu pracy nad samym sobą.

Our view of organizations, labour and the competencies of managers will soon need to change. In the postmodern and post-Fordist world, economy and organizations function differently than they did in the 20th century. Workers and managers will have to face new expectations. Not only has reflectivity become one of the key organisational factors; it is also taught, learnt and shaped. Drawing on an authoethnographic model and action-research, authors of this paper provide an education and development tool that managers and workers can use to develop and trigger reflectivity. Picture ethnography, coaching philosophy and hermeneutics are theoretical bases for the construction of a new model of self-development.
