The management theories of no practical value are known as management fads. One of those management fads - which is the focus of this research – is learning organization. There is sufficient evidence in English literature to conclude that learning organization is a management fad. The aim of this paper is to present the ample evidence that learning organization is a management fad. The maximum number of the research paper with the subject of learning organization was made in the late 1995 and the typical bell-shaped curve of the management fad is evident. In contrast to the world trend, a content analysis of Serbian journals discovered that a typical pick of a bell-shaped curve of papers covering the topic of learning organization was 17 years later. It is argued in this paper that the learning organization phenomenon, as a normative or prescriptive theory, should be abandoned in the academic world altogether. The learning organization fad is a phenomenon with low practical applicability, a phenomenon of a little value for further development in the management research.

The main objective of the text is to try to carry out the analysis with the predominant objective to try and present in realistic way the factors influencing the choice between a service realised only with the use of a road transport and intermodal transport. The author of the analysis put particular stress on the costs of the carriage service, time of its realisation and CO2 emission. The analysis also aimed at showing which of the presented technologies of service providing is more friendly to natural environment. This is due to the fact that the market for intermodal transport and road transport in Poland, knowledge of the mechanisms of price formation and the costs are still low. It is often difficult to determine the unit price of transport modes or mechanisms of shaping them. This results primarily from difficulties with the calculation of the actual cost of transport, terminal operations, management and other issues occurring in road transport and intermodal logistics functions.

This study examines the impact credit risk management has on the profitability of commercial banks in Nigeria. The main objective of this material is to show how credit risk parameters are related to the expected performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. Using the regression analysis, relationship was drawn between credit risk parameters (which include capital adequacy ratio and non-performing loan ratio) and the profitability ratio (return on average asset, in particular) of five big Nigerian banks. Mixed research methodology was adopted in that primary data were sourced via questionnaires and secondary data were used via annual report of selected banks. Regression analysis was used to analyse the data. The conclusion drawn from the data analysis shows that there is a strong relationship between credit risk parameters and returns of the bank implying that credit risk management has a strong impact on the profitability of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study recommends that banks’ capital should be matched with their total risk exposure and if there is an imbalance, new capital requirements are necessary. Insider-related interests in loan applications should be closely monitored by the regulators to ensure continuous performance of the loan facility. Also, there should be an extant profiling of loan defaulters whether individuals or corporate entities.

Wspólne działanie ma im pozwolić zwiększać sprzedaż czy ograniczać koszty.

Dlatego często pojawiają się na rynku różnego typu grupy zakupowe, które mają za zadanie poprawić sytuację finansową jednostek je tworzących. Funkcjonowanie w ramach grup zakupowych ma swoje zalety i wady, jednak podstawą do sprawnego funkcjonowania grupy zakupowej są ścisła współpraca wszystkich uczestników i sprawna organizacja systemu dostaw. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie zasad funkcjonowania przedsiębiorstw w ramach grup zakupowych.

Opracowanie posiada charakter interdyscyplinarny, łącząc problematykę logistyki, ekologii i turystyki. Inspiracją do jego powstania były wyniki przeprowadzonego przez autora sondażu, które potwierdziły, że termin „logistyka” często nie jest rozumiany w sposób prawidłowy. Logistyka oznacza zarządzanie procesami przemieszczania przedmiotów oraz osób wraz z towarzyszącymi im przepływami informacyjnymi. Jeden z rodzajów logistyki (wyróżniony na podstawie kierunku zarządzanego przepływu surowców, materiałów, towarów czy ludzi) stanowi ekologistyka. W artykule autor zauważył, że ten specyficzny obszar działalności kierowniczej może prowadzić do powstawania nowych atrakcji turystycznych. Zilustrował to na przykładzie brazylijskiego miasta Kurytyba.

The study has an interdisciplinary character, combining the issues of logistics, ecology, and tourism. The inspiration for its creation were the results of a survey conducted by the author, which confirmed that the term logistics is not often understood properly. Correctly speaking logistics is about management of processes of moving objects and people together with the accompanying information flows. One of the types of logistics (distinguished on the basis of the direction of managed flow of raw materials, materials, goods or people) is ecologistics. In the article, the author verifies thesis that this specific area of managerial activity leads to the creation of new tourist attractions. Fact that they become visited by representatives of the traveling population should be considered in terms of a new trend on modern tourism market.

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie roli współczesnej rachunkowości w systemie zarządzania jednostek gospodarczych. Analizowany kontekst czasowy informacji dotyczy ujęcia zarówno retrospektywnego jak i prospektywnego. Rozważania dokonane w pracy mają charakter teoretyczny i stanowią syntetyzację oraz uogólnienie faktycznych relacji między rachunkowością a zarządzaniem. Tematyka ta jest tym bardziej aktualna, że ze względu na zmiany w nazewnictwie kierunków kształcenia w szkolnictwie wyższym wPolsce2, pojawiają się nieuprawnione poglądy jakoby rachunkowość nie stanowiła części systemu zarządzania współczesną jednostką i jako taka nie przynależała do nauk o zarządzaniu.(fragment tekstu)

This paper examines the concept of change management (CM) and how it affects organizational productivity in the real estate sector. The paper also focuses on change management and its impact on organizational growth and development in the same sector of the economy. The paper adopted a survey research design approach, using the questionnaire as the major data collection instrument. A total of one hundred (100) questionnaires were randomly distributed to respondents of ten different real estate firms who were undergoing a one-month training course at a training institute located in Lagos, Nigeria and ninety (90) were collected and used for analyzing the data for this research paper. The hypothesis of this paper was tested using Chi-square statistical tool. The findings of this paper reveal that X2 calculated value of 62.62, greater than the table value of 51.88, implying that human resource training and development is a function of the efficient and effective workforce. It also revealed that training aimed at enhancing employee’s skills and knowledge base translates to overall organizational success. The study, therefore, recommends among others that the training and development plan to cover all levels of the organization because the whole are interwoven and the neglect of one part may lead to the collapse of all. Change, Management, Organization, Productivity, Recruitment, Training Niniejszy artykuł analizuje koncepcję zarządzania zmianami (CM) i jej wpływ na produktywność organizacji w sektorze nieruchomości. Artykuł koncentruje się również na wpływie zarządzania zmianami na wzrost organizacyj-ny i rozwój w tym samym sektorze gospodarki. W artykule przyjęto podejście do projektowania badań ankieto-wych, wykorzystując kwestionariusz jako główne narzędzie do gromadzenia danych. W sumie losowo rozdano sto (100) kwestionariuszy respondentom z dziesięciu różnych firm z branży nieruchomości, którzy przechodzili mie-sięczne szkolenie w instytucie szkoleniowym w Lagos w Nigerii, a 90 kwestionariuszy zebrano i wykorzystano do analizy. Hipotezę tego artykułu przetestowano za pomocą narzędzia statystycznego Chi-kwadrat. Artykuł pokazuje, że X2 oblicza wartość 62,62, większą niż wartość tabeli 51,88, co sugeruje, że szkolenie i rozwój zasobów ludzkich jest funkcją wydajnej i efektywnej siły roboczej. Okazało się również, że szkolenia mające na celu podniesienie umiejętności i bazy wiedzy pracowników przekładają się na ogólny sukces organizacyjny. W związku z tym bada-nie zaleca między innymi, aby plan szkolenia i rozwoju obejmował wszystkie poziomy organizacji, ponieważ całość jest przeplatana, a zaniedbanie jednej części może doprowadzić do upadku wszystkich. zmiana, zarządzanie, organizacja, produktywność, rekrutacja, szkolenia

This paper adopts the approach of systematic review and provides a synthesis of the literature on coopetition in management and strategy. Our review focuses first on the phenomenon features, and offers a consensus-based definition. Next, we address the theoretical frameworks used by researchers and examine the linkage with related fields in order to outline the distinctive lines of coopetition versus alliances. Then we review the empirical foci adopted in published work to identify both preferred and underexplored areas of extant academic attention. We draw a research agenda oriented at further exploration of coopetition morphology, elucidating the stability issue and examining coopetition along the antecedents-process-outcomes trail.(original abstract)

Obecnie od jednostek samorządu terytorialnego oczekuje się, aby wzorem podmiotów sektora prywatnego ich działania odznaczały się skutecznością, były efektywne, a świadczone przez nie usługi publiczne charakteryzowały się wysoką jakością. Sprostanie tym oczekiwaniom wymaga zatem stałego doskonalenia sposobu zarządzania tymi jednostkami. Efektem tych działań jest ustawowe wprowadzenie obowiązku przeprowadzania kontroli zarządczej w jednostkach sektora finansów publicznych. Kontrola zarządcza ma przede wszystkim doprowadzić do sytuacji, w której jednostka w swej działalności nie będzie skupiona jedynie na gromadzeniu i wydatkowaniu środków finansowych, ale bardziej na podejmowaniu wszechstronnych decyzji ukierunkowanych na realizację celów i zadań. Pomocą w skutecznym jej wdrażaniu powinien być budżet zadaniowy. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie problematyki kontroli zarządczej w jednostkach sektora samorządu terytorialnego i jej powiązania z systemem budżetowania zadaniowego.
