By the Act of 8 March 1990 on Municipal Self-Government, the legislator imposed a wide range of tasks to be performed by the municipality, including meeting the community’s needs in the area of municipal housing. The aim of the study is to present a legal entity that is autonomous from the commune and managed as a limited liability company, namely the Towarzystwo Budownictwa Społecznego (TBS) [Social Housing Society]. It operates under the Commercial Companies Code of 15 September 2000 within the scope resulting from Article 27(1) and (2) of the Act of 26 October 1995 on Certain Forms of Housing Promotion, thus performing the municipality’s housing tasks. TBS companies have been equipped with a legal personality primarily to become a more effective guarantor of the proper implementation of public tasks. The availability and standard of housing play a key role in meeting the housing needs of households. For those social groups that are unable to finance the purchase of a dwelling at market prices on their own, rental housing is a beneficial solution to meet their housing needs. The operations of the TBS are not subject to the principles of the market economy. The specificity of the company’s activity is that the primary and principal statutory objective cannot be profit-making, i.e. to seek to generate and maximise profits, but that any income must be allocated to statutory objectives. However, nothing stands in the way of such companies performing secondary and accessory activities at the same time, the income from which will support their non-commercial statutory objectives.

In Polish law there are two notions pertaining to organized economic entities – a company and an agricultural farm. The phrase agricultural farm refers to all production units based on the cultivation of agricultural land with the use of biological processes. The change of the political system and economic reforms that followed it, facilitated creation of agricultural farms of an intensive character. They are treated by the lawgiver in the same way as social farms, which do not sell their products. The author of this article aims to prove that it is indispensable to introduce into the Polish law a new notion naming an agricultural unit producing commodities for sale. Such production units should be treated in the same way as companies – they should keep their accounts, have the possibility to use the bankruptcy procedure, etc. Eventually, such a notion could give origin to a reform in agriculture concerning the tax system, social security and health system. The new notion could be treated as the first step towards this end.

Not so long ago, the crucial factor on the road to success was believed to be found within the perfect understanding and application of organizational strategies. This turned out to be incomplete when the influence of the organizational culture came to daylight. Today this force constitutes the core of the present organization. It determines the unwritten rules and values, which allow stakeholders to better comprehend the way the company works, what it stands and aims for. Understanding and accepting the above enables creating a „member-company‟ relationship, bringing benefit in form of involved employees, and a company which provides confidence and security.

Communicating and supporting changes constitute a crucial field of interest for corporate communication. Changes in organizational culture is a challenge for internal communication to face as building organiza-tional culture entails changes in management processes, corporate strategies, values, symbols and relations as well as interactions among employees. Governing those spheres through communication processes is a decisive factor which influences the company’s functioning. In the following article certain strategies/approaches to communicating changes to employees will be presented. Each strategy places emphasis on a different means of influencing employees, depending on their relationships and creativity, as well as their attitudes to adapt to any changes and challenges. Studying communication interactions among employees and fostering them strategically helps overcome potential problems and reduce communication barriers that finally affect the company’s efficacy.

The obligation to act professionally and loyal to the managed corporation is a statutory component of the organizational relationship and expresses the essence of these bonds and the sense of entrusting the values of the company to these hubs for the purpose of its proper management. The sources of the administrator’s duties cannot be limited to respecting statutory injunctions and prohibitions, since they designate only border points. They do not constitute a casuist regulation of all situations. Assuming the legislator’s praxeological and axiological rationality in the process of legislating, it would be necessary to involve a lack of due professional diligence on the basis of civil law liability. However, most courts, as well as the majority of the representatives of doctrine, do not recognize the basis of this responsibility in the mere failure to observe the standards in question, regardless of the seriousness of negligence or inefficiency in the exercise of functions.

According to the author, there are no legal obstacles for a Deputy to hold shares in certain types of companies which, in their business, benefit from EU funds. If funds for the implementation of the program in which the company intends to participate, come – partly or in whole – from the state budget, they will be classified as state property. There are reasons to consider that the funds available to entrepreneurs under EU programs, paid in 100% from EU funds, do not constitute property of the state nor municipal property.

Innovation networks can be understood as an organization in which two or more independent firms aim at joint research, development or spreading of innovations. In such a relatively stable and cooperative collaboration, the partner firms find support during one or more activities of the innovation process, which may increase their innovation performance (Dilk, Gleich, Wald 2008, p. 693). Relationships of innovative companies with partners in networks are based on development and transfer knowledge, which is used in innovation processes. With development of innovations in the network, knowledge and other resources are multiplied. The objective of this work is to explore cooperative relationships of companies with partners during innovation process execution within the network’s framework. This paper analyzes the impact of these relationships on the  development of innovative companies, as well as also attempts to describe synergy effects of cooperation between partners in innovation networks. Questionnaire research on this subject was conducted in Lubelskie region in 2009. Summary results of these research are  described in this work

Under the Polish legal system, the State Treasury, as a legal counterpart of the state acting in the sphere of legal relationships pertaining to property, participates in broadly defined business transactions as, inter alia, a shareholder in limited liability companies. The author of this article makes an attempt at a comprehensive presentation of legal regulations relating to the issues of liability of the State Treasury acting in its capacity as a shareholder of such a company, while indicating the State Treasury’s liability for civil law obligations of a company in organisation; for third party damage caused by the company in the course of its operation; for the breach of obligations relating to the State Treasury’s status as the company’s shareholder; for the non performance or improper performance of contractual obligations undertaken by the company; and for the breach of EU laws, with the latter, however, arising not directly from EU laws, but from the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice.

Forecasts built for the needs of the enterprise may be inaccurate. Actual forecast errors (errors ex post) may be greater than the user-defined acceptable prediction errors. One reason for this may be the impact of psychological factors on the forecaster (eg. emotions) and the application of heuristics (usually unconsciously). The purpose of this article was, first, to draw attention to the issue of the possibility of various kinds of heuristics during the construction of forecasts in the company and second to indicate the possibility of eliminating the adverse effects of heuristics on the course and outcome of the forecasting process.

The proposal for directive aims at unifying the principles of the establishment of limited liability companies in all Member States. The authors claim that the proposal deserves support, but some of its provisions raise doubts because they do not serve the primary purpose.

The functioning of the enterprise in a constantly changing environment means that companies should make the necessary transformation, meet challenges, and thus anticipate and shape the reality. Each company should be the instigator of continuous change, particularly innovative projects which success depends largely on the mobilization of all employees for creative thinking, action and learning. Today, a company is considered as innovative and competitive, when it possesses the ability to use marketing in order to understand the market and results of scientific research, new concepts, ideas and inventions which are expected by consumers due to the high level of modernity.

Theoretical background: The deteriorating condition of the natural environment, as a result of human activity, is one of the global problems that contemporary business entities must face. Companies in their attempts to comply with principles of environmental protection undertake activities aimed at better utilization of resources, production materials or improved efficiency. Such endeavours include the elimination of pollution, recycling of materials, reduction of waste generated, reduction of fuels and energy consumption, and limiting water usage. This contributes to improving corporate economic performance, thus, making production more efficient, more economical and safer.Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to identify the company’s behavior with regard to environmental protection issues. The study tests the research hypothesis that the companies’ characteristics (i.e. company size, type of activity – production/non production, the scale of activity – local and regional, national, international) are factors that significantly differentiate the involvement of companies in activities for the environmental protection.Research methods: The empirical analysis is based on primary data from 68 companies. It was carried out using the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-square independence test, and the correspondence analysis. The strength of the examined relationships was expressed by the V-Cramer coefficient.Main findings: The research showed that the level of implementation of environmental initiatives depended on both the type of business activity and the size of the company. In the opinion of the surveyed entities, the implementation of pro-environmental activities aims at improving the company’s image and, to a lesser extent, at obtaining specific economic benefits. Large companies were often involved in the implementation of pro-environmental activities more than small and medium-sized entities. Production entities were more involved in it, compared to non-production companies.

Dynamics of changes in the environment increases the expectations of bigger effectiveness of the tools for the organization management. Until now commonly used tools cease to be effec-tive, what undermines their usefulness, leading to their complete rejection. This concern in particular to strategic planning, which earlier guaranteed the long-term development of the organization. A new paradigm of strategic planning model presented in this article still may be the groundwork to build a competitive advantage, even in such turbulent conditions, according to the author. The above statement approves his surveys among both Polish and foreign companies, in which strategic planning is still an effective tool for business management.

Dynamika zmian w otoczeniu powoduje zwiększenie oczekiwań wobec efektywności narzędzi zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem. Dotychczas stosowane metody przestają być skuteczne, co podważa ich przydatność, prowadząc do całkowitego ich odrzucenia. Dotyczy to szczególnie planowania strategicznego, które wcześniej gwarantowało długoterminowy rozwój przedsiębiorstwa. W artykule został przedstawiony nowy paradygmat modelu planowania strategicznego, który zdaniem autora może być fundamentem budowy przewagi konkurencyjnej nawet w tak turbulentnych warunkach. Potwierdzają to badania ankietowe, przeprowadzone przez autora wśród polskich i zagranicznych przedsiębiorstw, w których planowanie strategiczne wciąż jest skutecznym narzędziem zarządzania.

W artykule została przedstawiona koncepcja nadzoru informacyjnego, w kontekście nadzoru korporacyjnego, nadzoru IT i zarządzania systemami informacyjnymi w przedsiębiorstwie. Zaproponowana przez autora definicja nadzoru informacyjnego pozwala uwidocznić różnicę między nadzorem nad systemami informatycznymi, a systemami informacyjnymi.
