The article discusses the issues of conducting transactions in agricultural products via the Internet between businesses. In particular, it is dedicated to the so-called electronic agricultural commodity marketplaces that are virtual meeting places of buyers and sellers of agricultural commodities. The purpose of this paper is an indication of the changes taking place in the agricultural market under the influence of electronic marketplaces for agricultural goods. The research method that was used to write this paper was a case study. Three foreign electronic agricultural commodity marketplaces were analysed. Information on electronic marketplaces described came from their websites and scientific studies. The presented three examples of foreign electronic agricultural marketplaces show how complex is the issue of the development of electronic markets for agricultural commodities and how they induce profound changes in the functioning of traditional agricultural commodity markets.

A commune is a basic self-government unit in Poland. Handing over a part of qualifications to the local level of self-government engendered the need of the effective and creative resource management for social, economic and ecological development of communes. Tools of infrastructure stimulating constitute the special group of instruments of local development. Equipping the area with social and economic infrastructure is one of factors and of indicators of investment attractiveness. It influences the quality of life of inhabitants. It is also contributing to the development of existing companies and attracting the outside investments. Tools that can be used in this area are: co-financing of investment by the commune and the independent realization by the commune of infrastructure investments. A main goal of this contribution is an attempt of the assessment of the results of projects co-financed from EU funds carried out in the field of the road infrastructure as the effective tool of the local politics. Analysis will concern the City of Białystok which is dynamically using public funds for the improvement in the infrastructure. In particular it will include results of all selected projects.

Security and infrastructure are two closely related terms, which is why they are so often referred to at the same time. In today’s world, infrastructure is essential to ensure broadly understood security, and a lack of security will not fulfi l its basic role. Today, identifi ed threats and challenges to national security, and thus to the security of the state, evoke the need to participate in preparing all components of the defence system of the state. The management of state defence is a very complex process, requiring a properly prepared system to function reliably in times of peace, but also in times of crisis and war. Its role is to integrate individual elements of the defence system into a uniform and efficient whole. Effective defence activities and ensuring the security of its citizens and all its assets are the core activities of the state. The defence area of the state is now comprehensive in nature and is of interest to the entire apparatus of state power. The aim of the article is to present the role of the defence infrastructure in the life of the state, its relation to national security and an attempt to identify the defence infrastructure of the state, taking into account the key state infrastructure.

In 2004, Poland joined the European Union. This access means the possibility of taking advantage of European Union Structural Funds. Apart from this the structural funds play another important role. The popularity of the idea of European integration in countries like Poland depends largely on the effectiveness of this financial support, which theoretically should lead to economic and social development on different levels (local, regional, national, and even continental). The main problem of relying on EU funds is their unequal availability, which is limited, for example, because of the granting principles.

The need for conservation and protection of natural ecosystems from the consequences of non-rational exploitation is a key issue for all industries. Tourism depends strongly on the quality of environment, but it can contribute to degrading or saving vulnerable ecosystems. The development of infrastructure for ecotourism is a way of mitigating the negative consequences of human activity and solving a range of related problems in the local labor market as well as improving living standards. The authors describe a series of actions aimed at developing ecotourism, which have been partially implemented in the Smotrytsky Canyon. In addition to presenting characteristics of the ecological and cultural value of the canyon, the authors analyze how it is affected by the existing anthropogenic factors. A list of necessary actions for environment restoration is presented, with special emphasis on erosion control, including plans for their implementation. Finally, the authors consider economic problems of developing ecotourism infrastructure and ways of minimizing their financial costs.

Rola infrastruktury technicznej, a w szczególności infrastruktury liniowej doceniana jest zarówno w Unii Europejskiej jak i w Polsce. Wiąże się to ze znacznymi nakładami na utworzenie i rozbudowę tej infrastruktury. Zasadne jest więc pytanie o skuteczność zarządzania projektami, które polegają na realizacji przedsięwzięć infrastrukturalnych. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań skuteczności zarządzania projektami infrastrukturalnymi w zakresie skuteczności zarządzania budżetem, zakresem i czasem projektu. Zgodnie z wynikami badań zarówno zarządzania budżetem projektu jak i zarządzanie zakresem zostało uznane za skuteczne. Nie można natomiast pozytywnie ocenić skuteczności zarządzania czasem w badanych projektach. Przedstawione badania są częścią większego przedsięwzięcia badawczego, którego celem jest wypracowanie rekomendacji dla zarządzania infrastrukturalnymi projektami liniowymi w Polsce.

The role of the technical infrastructure, and in particular linear infrastructure is appreciated both by the European Union and Poland. This involves considerable expenditure on the creation and expansion of an infrastructure. So it is reasonable to question the effectiveness of infrastructure project management. This paper presents the results of research into the effectiveness of project management, especially the effectiveness of management of the budget, scope and time of projects. According to the results, both the management of the project budget and scope management has been found to be effective. What cannot be positively evaluated is the effectiveness of time management in the studied projects. The research was a part of a larger study whose aim is to develop recommendations for the management of linear infrastructure projects in Poland.

The subject of the study is to identify the impact on communes budgets in Poland of one of the major costs of urban sprawl (i.e., excessive expenditure on infrastructure). The study takes two objectives: first, whether excessive infrastructure costs in Polish communes are common; second, what the mechanism is determining an excessive budgetary burden on communes through infrastructure expenditures. The objectives were made using taxonomic methods in relation to the 222 communes in Poland 2007–2014. Among the most important conclusions from the study is the fact, that excessive infrastructure expenditures are observed in Poland, but they are not a common phenomenon. The mechanism of an excessive budgetary burden of these expenses is determined by the weakness of the financial policy of the communes in terms of their own revenue and low level of economic development.

Przedmiotem opracowania jest rozpoznanie wpływu na budżety gmin w Polsce jednego z ważniejszych kosztów urban sprawl tj. nadmiernych wydatków na infrastrukturę. W badaniach przyjęto dwa cele: pierwszy, odpowiadający na pytanie czy nadmierne koszty infrastrukturalne w polskich gminach są zjawiskiem powszechnym; drugi wyjaśniający mechanizm decydujący o nadmiernym obciążeniu budżetów gmin przez wydatki infrastrukturalne. Realizacji celów dokonano z wykorzystaniem metod taksonomicznych w odniesieniu do 222 gmin w Polsce w latach 2007–2014. Jednym z ważniejszych wniosków z badań jest, iż nadmierne wydatki infrastrukturalne są obserwowane w Polsce jednak nie są zjawiskiem powszechnym; oraz o mechanizmie nadmiernego obciążenia tymi wydatkami decyduje słabość polityki finansowej gminy w zakresie dochodów własnych i niski poziom rozwoju gospodarczego.

Investment activities executed by regional authorities are exposed to high risk. The risk results from the very essence of investment projects implemented by regions in Poland and can be associated with the failure to meet the regional budget. The purpose of this study is to assess the size of the existing discrepancies between the planned and actually incurred investment expenditure and to find out if there are systematic changes in the level of these discrepancies i subsequent years. This goal was achieved through the presentation of the specific approach to risk measurement in the investment activities of local government units. The research was undertaken by regional self-government units. Empirical research has allowed us to answer three research questions: how great were the disparities between the planned and the actually incurred investment costs in the Polish regions in 2011-2015? Did systematic changes in the level of inconsistency between the planned and the actually incurred costs take place in the observed period? Was the rate of failure to meet investment plans correlated with the rate of failure to meet operational financial plans?

Electricity is one of the factors shaping the quality of life of society. The Polish Energy sector is to a large extent identified with fossil fuel used in conventional energy, based mainly on hard coal, which is not fully in line with the current energy policy of the European Union. Therefore, today it is necessary to use renewable energy more efficiently, which, in addition to the clearly indicated economic effect, also accentuates environmental effects. The purpose of the work is to show the opinions of young people aged 15–24 in terms of their awareness of the interpretation of myths about renewable energy, which is a key problem in the development of the modern energy sector, and to indicate the directions of development of the energy policy in Poland

This paper aims to prove that during the transformation process in Poland of the sectors of general economic interests due to specific economic characteristics of those sectors and the fact that interests of three groups participating in the decision making in this process: government, management and employees turned out being non controversial prevented loosing the monopoly status they initially enjoyed. The method used was the analysis of the stages of negotiation illustrated by subsequent documents of official strategies chosen for three sectors: railway, electricity and the final result illustrated by the structure of the market. Preventing the monopoly status permitted those groups seeking the rent, the monopoly status created or even demand that rent in the form of subsidy from the public authorities budgets by the threat of the strike which is the grave threat in the sectors delivering the service of general economic interest.

Purpose: There is a need to insure effectiveness in public transport infrastructure capital outlays. The Value for Money (VfM) concept has been embedded in political economy and management without a clear methodological framework and accepted definitions. This paper addresses methodological boundaries and opportunities for implementation of the VfM concept with special consideration to its marketing components. Methodology: A literature review and assessment of practical experience has been completed. An evaluation of the VfM logic is also provided. The VfM functions and application as an analytical, management and marketing tool are analyzed. Findings: The VfM project assessment methodology can be used to insure the best possible input costs and impacts ratio. The maximization of VfM is possible if this approach is correctly and fully implemented. Additional methodological and conceptual work is needed to ensure its full applicability. This concerns also marketing elements of the VfM concept. Originality: The paper presents a complex approach to VfM as an analytical and management procedure. It contributes to research advancement in this insufficiently explored area. Keywords: value for money, infrastructure, government, value for money 3E approach, value for money, marketing

The author analyzes the regional diversification of labor productivity, the capital-labor ratio, and total factor productivity (TFP) in Poland’s provinces in 1995-2007. He also undertakes to endogenize TFP on the basis of statistical data describing the structure of value added generated in agriculture, industry, construction and services, as well as data on the development of transport infrastructure, including the density of freeways, expressways and rail lines. Using the concept of the macroeconomic function of production, Tokarski estimates TFP for each province in 1995-2007. Then the TFP levels are endogenized on the basis of variables describing the sector structure of the product market and the development of transportation infrastructure. The analyses described in the paper show that provinces with a higher proportion of value added generated in the service sector generally display a higher level of TFP. Among the variables describing transport infrastructure, the freeway and expressway network density has a statistically significant positive effect on TFP, while the density of rail lines does not have such an effect, the author says.

The concept of local development remains a crucial one, especially in the context of European Union membership and its support funds. The multidimensional character of local development makes it a subject of interest not only to economists, but also geographers, sociologists and statisticians. The aim of the paper is to present differences in the level of socio-economic development of semi-urban and rural gminas in Poland and to find clusters of gminas with a similar level of development. Hellwig’s method was used to compare 2,174 gminas, which showed large development disparities. There is a clear boundary between Eastern Poland with Mazowieckie Voivodship, where the country’s capital, Warsaw, is located, and Western Poland. gminas with a high level of development were observed usually on Poland’s Baltic coast and suburban areas of Warsaw, Szczecin, Poznań, Wrocław and Kraków. Low level gminas were mostly situated in the peripheries of the eastern voivodships.

In spite of efforts on the part of the European Union to promote renewable sources of energy, conventional resources such as oil, natural gas and coal still dominate in individual EU energy mixes. With the rising costs of resources, their uneven distribution and limited supply, each state is busy trying to ensure its energy security. Secure and stable supply of energy resources has becoming the main preoccupation, especially in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Over the recent years, the Visegrád Group states have made particularly intensive efforts to ensure their supply of natural gas. The unstable political situation in the east of Europe as well as changes in natural gas markets (shale gas revolution in the USA, increased importance of LNG) gave rise to new challenges when it comes to ensuring gas security, but also new opportunities to become independent of eastern imports. It is precisely the fact of being dependent on natural gas imported from Russia that determines the situation of Visegrád Group states. The present paper tries to analyse the situation in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary in terms of security of their natural gas supply.
