The aim of the paper is to explain and analyse the process of institutional change. The terms ‘institution’ and ‘organisation’ are often used interchangeably in the economic literature. This does not seem entirely correct, especially in research regarding institutional transformations. The author of this paper clearly distinguishes between the concepts of ‘institution’ and ‘organisation’, trying to demonstrate how the interaction of these two 'organisms' influences institutional change. For this purpose, numerous studies in the field of new institutional economics are used. The discussion revolves around the idea of bilateral influence of organisations and institutions. Organisations are shaped and conditioned by the institutional environment in which they operate but, on the other hand, they frequently have an impact on institutional changes.

The features of economic culture of the Polish society, revealed in the process of deepening contacts with the West, are considered. The guiding hypothesis is that the processes of institutional transformation and the economic changes initiated in 1989 must have been affected by the cultural legacy of state socialism and of the pre-communist past. The article presents a preliminary, pilot phase of research. The core of the study consisted of twenty in-depth interviews with foreign and Polish businessmen and managers, who faced 'the other side' in the course of their business contacts. The results of this research suggest a generally positive appraisal by Poles of western economic culture, combined with a rather limited understanding of its deeper patterns, an ambiguous character of individualistic attitudes, and an uneven pace of cultural adjustment of different groups to the challenges posed by international economic cooperation.

The cancellation of 96% of the foreign periodicals subscriptions, as well as the transformation of the sumptuous main reading room into a hall for 'general cultural purposes' are just the first signs of the process of degradation of the prestigious Central Library of the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. Although academic libraries in Hungary have seen some positive developments over the past years, there have been a few disturbing anomalies, such as the liquidation of the National Technical Information Centre and Library (OMIKK) or the general budget cut for foreign periodicals subscribed to by academic libraries and the 'reallocation of funds' within this budget. The cutting edge information and communication technologies seem to prevail over libraries, whereas, according to the author, Internet should be a tool for libraries and not the other way round. Some recommendations for the future include the adoption of a high level preparatory mechanism that would precede any decision making in connection with prestigious historical libraries (such a mechanism would also support the library authorities); the reform of the library and information sciences training in higher education with the aim to reserve its interdisciplinary character and independent status from faculties; the enhancement of the role of libraries in the new system of higher education and academic qualifications; and the motivation of the players of the information technologies market to provide sponsorship for (traditional) library purposes. The financing of central libraries of academic libraries should be separated from faculty and department libraries.

This article addresses the institutional changes that local communities face when implementing sustainable development policies. Analyses suggest that because of the strength of the territorial institutions, most institutionalisation and innovation are incremental and create marginal organisational changes, in particular, within local governments. However, some institutions are designed to improve the territorial consistency of public sustainability decisions.
