Regional Research and Innovation Policy in Action - the Efficient Tools for Regional Catching-up in New Member States (Regions of Knowledge - FP6). The regional practices of innovation policy in eight EU member states are presented in case studies, elaborated for one region in each country with South Moravia representing the Czech Republic. South Moravian innovation policy is analyzed in three fundamental dimensions: strategy formation, policy deployment, and practices at the programme level. These are the constituent elements of the process that was defined by the ProAct consortium as so called 'ProAct policy learning cycle'. The benchmark methodology (The ProAct Benchmarking Framework) was applied in the case studies to explore good practices in regional innovation and research policy. In the study, the role of South Moravian Innovation Centre (JIC - Jihomoravske inovacni centrum) is highlighted.

Until recently, in ministries there were over 160 regulations of various types related to auditing, while some of other offices did not have any regulations whatever in the field. It was therefore necessary to introduce urgently some systemic changes that would strengthen the audit function in the government administration. The Act on auditing in the government administration, in force since 1 January 2012, does not repeal all detailed procedures binding so far, still it introduces unified standards for audit proceedings. The new Act clearly states their criteria and stages, the rights of the parties, a list of evidence and manners of audit documenting. Moreover, one document has been introduced to replace the audit protocol and the post-audit statement. This marks the beginning of a new stage in the functioning of institutional auditing in the government administration. On the basis of the Act, audit standards have been also developed, which comprise fundamental requirements as for managing, performing and ensuring audit quality. They are also meant to provide the basis for evaluating the quality of audit units in the government administration. At the same time, works on developing and implementing a system for specialist training have been started in the area of human resources management, to satisfy the needs of the audit staff. They are aimed at increasing the quality of the staff, so that to make the results of their work reliable and, consequently, to provide the basis for the heads of ministries and offices to take up managerial decisions and to improve the functioning of the government administration. The authors describe the provisions of the Act, and the activities of the Office of the Prime Minister that led to the development and adoption of the Act, and those related to its implementation.

Arguments formulated in a natural or scientific language usually allow for various different reconstructions. Alternative reconstructions may pertain to different approaches to inference and argumentation (such as classical predicate logic, Bayesian epistemology and many others). However, how are we to select one from among various available reconstructions? The paper provides an analysis of three different reconstructions of a particular argument and discusses their pros and cons with respect to several logical and extra-logical properties. Moreover, the three potential selection principles are considered. It is argued that they work adequately only when subjected to a specific aim of the context of argument-reconstruction.

E-government becomes an important element of the emerging e societies. There is a great diversity of strategies, policies and results related to its introduction. Educational and cultural conditions and possibilities are vital because they generate - or not - interests in ICTs and their various applications. So capacity building for e-government is a complex process, not limited to introduction of technological and organizational actions. Moreover e-government is costly and will require soon not only social but also economic evaluation. These issues are explored in an illustrative case study of e-services in Poland.

The theme of the paper is to reveal how well-prepared pre-service teachers think they are. It aims at reviewing the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 cohorts studying for a BA in TEFL at a university by examining the impact and the effectiveness of four-year pre-service English education in a Chinese university context, and what needs to be improved and maintained from the perspective of trainees. Questionnaires were used, followed by semi-structured interviews. The questionnaires were completed by 300 participants, 200 of whom were then randomly chosen as interviewees. Despite finding some inconsistency in the four-year BA TEFL program, the result obtained from investigation of the cohort of student teachers is still satisfying.

The process of improvement of an organisation can employ various tools (e.g. benchmarking, the con¬cept of kaizen, the EFQM model). Evaluation is one of these tools. The purpose of this article is to identify the role of evaluation, and the need for it, in the process of im¬provement of an organisation. The author also presents her own model of organisation improvement with the use of evaluation (evaluation hybrid model). This model assumes that the evaluation process should be carried out in three dimensions: activities, results and competences. In the evaluation hybrid model there are four phases: conceptualisation, generating results, the assessment of the criterion, the use and dissemination of research results, on the basis of which it is possible to formulate normative (assessment of the actions that have been evaluated) and prospective (recommendations follow-up) judgments.

The study presents definitions of the human capital and methods of both the tools of the measurement and the evaluation of the human capital. Next we present the arguments for taking away the human capital as an active member of the enterprise, as well as an example of the human capital evaluation by the model employee which constitutes the ground for showing the income of this active member of the enterprise's financial aspect.

The paper aims, besides evaluation of importance of Williamson’s work, to verify empirically the hypothesis whether there are also some other factors (e.g. confirmation of theoretical results in practice or attractiveness of his work to academicians and policy makers) behind the Williamson’s success and not only the quality of his (especially journal) publications (as indicated in IDEAS RePEc database). The example of Williamson´s work is used here for a broader discussion of the problem to what extent can serve only purely quantitative data as a basis for evaluation of the best economists. The author research confirms his hypothesis and shows that despite the fact that rankings based on scientific journal publications and citations represent an important selection mechanism for selection of the best scientist in economics, they are not complex enough to be the only way how to nominate the best scientists as is shown in the case of “Nobel prize” selection.

The current financial crisis has highlighted again the relationship between value and price of financial instruments. This article is therefore devoted to the problems of modern methods of assessing one of the leading securities-shares. The most commonly used models are variants of free cash flow models. The authors recommended the use of free cash flow models in the categories of the key value driver formula. At the same time they propose a new method to yield a model that would use newly created value to the company as a form of income.

Both using modern information technology in education and ensuring high quality of teaching belong to basic tools of the Bologna process realization. A rapid development of e-learning, observed in the recent decade, has been accompanied by a discussion on the quality and effectiveness of e-education and the ways of their evaluation. Providing high quality of teaching is also one of the European Union's priorities. Thus, it comes as a no surprise that the attempts of the creation of common frames for courses evaluation appeared in cooperation between higher education institutions and research centers at European level. The article introduces the tool for online courses evaluation which has been developed as a result of international cooperation within the project SEVAQ+.

The idea of new means of teaching is creating the conditions for fast and permanent knowledge absorbing as well as facilitating an access to educational materials with simultaneous improving courses attractiveness. Such perspectives are offered by e-learning courses, which enable the lecturer to adjust the pace of classes to individual students needs and to prepare such material that reaches the students in an easy way. Uncontested advantage of e-education is elimination of the limits concerning the time and place of studying, which allows work at home, at the university as well as enables to participate in courses during popular international students exchange programs. E-evaluation provides an opportunity for an effective, objective and fast evaluation of high number of students. The paper presents diverse solutions applied in electronic support for didactics at the Faculty of Chemistry at Wroclaw University of Technology.

Organisations have to demonstrate that their products meet specified requirements. What is more, to be able to make decisions on improvement, changes in technology, or investing, they need to evaluate the quality of their processes. To do so, an organisation must have in place appropriate measurement techniques that enable assessment of the current state of their processes and prove that their product meets requirements. It is of crucial importance that the reliability of measurements be assessed, especially where decisions are to be made on the basis of the results. GR&R is one method for carrying out such assessments. It provides information about the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements taken in a production system. The article presents the GR&R method, the procedure for evaluating a measurement system and the results of a study that used this assessment method along with statistical software (Minitab).

The use of performance indicators in the diagnosis and evaluation of institutions of higher education (HE) is becoming ever more common. This article is devoted to problems in using such indicators to assess the work of the university. This issue is firmly rooted in the ongoing contemporary debate on the effectiveness and efficiency of the academic sector. I look at both the potential for the use of performance indicators and their weaknesses, and further propose to discuss two problems related to the use of the performance indicators in higher education. In the paper the types and methods of constructing the indicators used to evaluate HE institutions are characterised. Key criteria for evaluating these metrics are then presented. Reflections on the selection of indicators and construction criteria are illustrated by the example of selected, frequently misinterpreted indicators.

(Polish title: Efektywne wdrazanie polityki spojnosci - doswiadczenia dotychczasowych okresow programowania w wojewodztwie opolskim a nowa wizja Polityki Spojnosci po 2013 roku). The article raises that in discussing the future of the Cohesion Policy, an important argument is the effective use of EU funds by Poland from the previous programming periods, i.e., 2004-2006 and 2007-2013. The financial and material results obtained in the Opolskie voievodeship within the Integrated Regional Operational Programme for 2007-2013, and the Regional Operational Programme for the Opolskie voivodeship 2007-2013 have been analysed. It has been proven that, under both programmes, the region achieved significant successes, such as: within the RPO WO 2007-2013 in the competition for additional funds from the National Performance Reserve took the first place. This demonstrates the effectiveness of regional absorption. Effectiveness of this type should be recognized in the implementation system based on efficiency. The article attempts to prove that it is a sufficient argument, for the next programming period, to maintain, among others, the Cohesion Policy and the instrument of National Implementation Provisions.
