Managers managing storage, seeking to maximize profits, are looking for solutions to reduce the high costs associated with storage. To ensure customer satisfaction, services must be provided at a very high level, which translates into costs associated with this. Market forces the use of modern technologies. They allow tracking inventory in real time and enable to increase productivity. Supervision over a commodity, a full identification warehouse's employees and of the goods, their destinations and history of the operations are just some of the advantages of the use of information technology related to inventory management. Standardization of information in the form of bar codes contributes to the reduction of costs as well as enhances the competitiveness of firms at the market. Today's market requires managers to automate the processes inside the warehouses, and therefore innovative solutions to meet the demands of customers are more heard of. Barcodes are to be displaced by radio tags and RFID technology, while people are to be replaced by machines or voice technology. The authors of this work present today's trends in warehouse automation and bring the selected method of increasing the efficiency of storage, exemplified by the cases of Polish and European companies.

The assessment of the investments' effectiveness is a key element of investment processes. In order to be comprehensive and exhaustive, it should go beyond the scope of the microeconomic assessment and take into account the macroeconomic calculation of effectiveness. The prerequisite for the effectiveness of investment decisions implemented by private companies is the maximization of the investments return. When attempting to evaluate the effectiveness of investments, on the scale of the economy, it seems significant to look not only for the economic benefits but also for the social advantages that they generate. Undoubtedly, an increase of employment in the economy can be regarded as one of the latter and is a result of the strong correlation between the creation of jobs and economic growth, which in turn depends on the level of investments. However, one should remember that this relationship does not occur in every case; there is a certain level of investment rate, specific for each economy at a given time, which generates jobless economic growth. The reason for this phenomenon is the need to achieve the desired level of investments necessary for a given economy to recreate the previous capital-labour ratio as well as to implement modernisation investments which will result in the modernisation of the economy and an increase of labour productivity, and not in the employment growth. The purpose of this study is to assess the macroeconomic efficiency of investment in the selected EU economies.

Intensive financial investments in marketing communication of museums are connected, in parallel, to their visual presentation as well as to strengthening the communication efficiency toward public. However, the unresolved question remains whether these finances are spent effectively or rather whether the communication strategy plan attracts the adequate target audience. How many visitors did react to a given campaign? Unfortunately, there is no single and definite answer on how to measure the efficiency of marketing communication in museums. The aim of the study is to use the Data Envelopment Analysis method to introduce a model for helpful assessment of the marketing communication efficiency within museums. While searching for the solution, we were inspired by the production economics, from which we chose the statistical method of Data Envelopment Analysis. This allowed us to evaluate the efficiency of production units and also to identify inefficiencies. In the public and non-profit sector, this methodological approach appears very rarely, and according to our findings, it has not been applied yet in the museum sphere in Slovakia.

An analysis has been conduced of the sales profitability and technical efficiency of selected groups of Polish farms in 2004-2006. These groups of farms differ in terms of size measured in ESU as well as in terms of agricultural type and form of ownership. It has been established that over 90% of farms owned by natural persons is characterised by insufficient technical efficiency. The average technical efficiency index for farms owned by legal persons reached the level of 0.75, whereas the index for farms belonging to natural persons and specialising, for example, in the production of milk proved to be 0.68. This means that outlays in the two groups of farms could be reduced by at least 20% and 27%, respectively, without a negative effect for their production results. There is evidence suggesting that about a half of all owners of farms is not interested in the improvement of their effectiveness and that the greater part of the remaining farm owners lacks the knowledge of management and marketing methods and even the knowledge of advanced techniques and technologies of agricultural production. In addition, they display weak pro-innovative attitudes.

The aim of the article is to point out that the implementation of the complementarity principle is one of the main tools for increasing the effectiveness of the realization of the region’s developmental objectives. The article is based on the assumption that complementarity, as one of the implementation tools, provides greater effectiveness and thus leads to the existence of synergy. At the same time, on the basis of the experience from the 2004–2006 and 2007–2013 programming periods, the effects of public intervention according to the integrated effectiveness concept has been examined. As a result of this analysis, the idea has been formulated that the development management in the region has a multi-threaded aspect, hence achieving an integrated effectiveness is possible taking into account different criteria and properly adapted tools. The test method used in the article is an analysis of the exisiting state. As a result, the thesis in question has been proven a solution has been proposed for the formulation of a new multicriteria model of integrated effectiveness.

The public expenditure programs create an integral and very important part of public expenditure. Their efficiency is greatly influenced by the value of transaction costs. This issue is currently being widely discussed both on the theoretical and the practical level. The aim of presented paper is to define the position of the transaction costs in methodological framework of 3E and to summarize the results of their measurements in the Czech Republic. The article divides transaction costs into two groups: administrative (expended by the program administrators) and compliance (expended by recipients). Presented results of empirical research clearly show that size of transaction costs is certainly significant. The value of relative administrative costs is between 0.1 and 4%. Significantly higher are, however, relative compliance costs; in some cases even reach 28%.

The article concentrates on the analysis of the suitability of process maturity models in assessing the effectiveness of the organization. Two models are described widely: Process and Enterprise Maturity Model (PEMM) developed by M. Hammer and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) applied by computer scientists. Then, on the basis of these models, determinants of efficiency at different levels of process maturity are presented.

(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.

The aim of the undertaken research was to assess the regional diversification in economic effectiveness of private enterprises in Poland. The assessment was conducted at NUTS II regional level encompassing the voivodships for two selected years - 1999 and 2006. The studies confirmed that regional diversification is indicated by all three indicators of the economic effectiveness of enterprises, i.e. labor productivity, gross return on capital employed and return on equity. However the scale of that diversification measured by the variability coefficient level decreased during the period covered. For example, in 1999 the variability coefficient for the ROE was as much as 75.5%, which means high diversity of voivodships as, concerns the level of that indicator. On the other hand, in 2006 that indicator was at the level of 18,9% and the voivodships proved less diversified as concerns that indicator.

The problems of effectiveness of scientific and rational methodology in the context of modern social and intellectual practices are considered in this paper. It is shown that a kind of methodological crisis that has emerged in connection with this fact can be solved not by separation and counterposition of scientific and non-scientific components in the content of the rational, but on the basis of revelation of the values of the integral forms of consciousness that characterize the integrity of human world outlook. Attention is drawn to the necessity of changing the strategy of organization and development of science in the contemporary global society.

The article presents the results of research into the effectiveness of working capital management in the food industry. The research was carried out within a set of 30 sectors (classes) of the food industry in the period from 2005 to 2009, on the basis of unpublished data of the Central Statistical Office. The effectiveness of working capital management was assessed using the inventory, receivables and payables cycle and the cash conversion cycle as well as with regard to the rates of return achieved on assets and own capital. The research indicated that in sectors where the cycles mentioned were the shortest the rates of return were the highest. The advantageous impact of shortened working capital cycles on economic viability was also verified by means of the correlation and regression analysis.

The industrial clusters are now the traditional instruments of regional policy in every developed country. There are the complex tools with what the home regions can be promoted and developed. The biggest boom of clusters in Europe is recorded after the turn of the millennium. It is particularly associated with the massive support from public budgets as support for new and interesting idea. Once practical experiences have shown neither this instrument (cluster) is not a guarantee of development and effectiveness. Therefore, there are many methods that help uncover the potential of the region for called cluster birth and development. This paper aims to critically assess the suitability of shift-share analysis method for the industrial clusters framework, namely to examine how the method can help determine if there are industrial sectors which are suitable for the formation of clusters.

Within the context of reverse logistics (RL), only a few studies have focused on the management characteristics that lead to effectively implementing RL. From the myriad of potential factors of effective RL, the paper focuses on the role of knowledge management, 1st-tier integration and the extent of RL planning, as these factors and their mutual relations have been neglected by empirical research to date. The paper develops a theoretical model to fill this gap and tests it using structural equation modelling on primary data. The findings based on 146 cases support that knowledge management, the extent of RL planning and the level of integration with the 1st-tier supply chain members are the factors related to the effectiveness of RL. The study underpins the importance of long-term RL planning and deeper integration and collaboration with customers and suppliers for effective RL and so to reduce the negative impact of product returns.
