Globalisation of religion, on the one hand, helps establish constructive dialogue, promotes ecumenism, and supports communication between religions; on the other hand, it activates religious radicalism and extremism. Extremism is a complex problem: its origin varies and the people it involves vary even more. The most common problem when defining terrorism may be the failure to distinguish between assumed terrorist activities and other forms of threatening acts. Another mistake in defining extremism is the fact that it is often connected with one or the other side of the political battle. It is also not surprising that extremism is often identified with revolutionary opposition. This paper studies religious extremism as one of the phenomena of the new religiosity. Two basic approaches can be used to understand behaviour of terrorist organizations: instrumental approach and organizational approach. The first approach is based on the assumption that a terrorist act is a deliberate choice of a political actor. An organization as a unit seeks to achieve collective values, which include radical changes in political and social conditions. Thus, terrorism is interpreted as a response to an external stimulus, especially to a government action. The other approach is focused on internal organizational processes in a group that uses terrorism or between organizations that have similar goals. Subsequently, terrorism presents a result of an organization‘s struggle for survival, particularly in a competitive environment. An organization responds to the external pressure by changing its benefits for the members or by innovations. Therefore, terrorist acts do not always reflect ideological values of the organization directly.

Communication always takes place by means of symbols. Information must be coded by the sender, i.e. expressed by the use of symbols (mostly language symbols), and then decoded by the recipient. The process of message decoding may be divided into two stages: the acquisition and the interpretation of the message, so-called 'understanding' through the attaching of the meaning to symbols, which made up the message. Itself the understanding of the message is a not a sufficient condition of communication, as it may happen so, that the recipient interprets (understands) the message in a more or less different way from what the sender intended to transfer, what in practice may lead to the consequences more or less similar to the total impossibility of decoding the message. We may speak about communication only if the meanings attached by the sender to the individual symbols are close or identical to the meanings attached to these symbols by the recipient.

The article presents partial results of a qualitative study realized in 2006 between Czech men and women managers. The purpose of the study was to compare the situation and conditions of men and women in managerial work. It shows that the main source of inequalities is the need of conciliation of managerial work and household and family duties. The division of non-paid labor in the families of our respondents is very gender unequal. Women are responsible for largest part of tasks connected with household and childrearing, even if they live in most cases in two carrier families. On the other hand, men managers prefer to live in a traditional family arrangement and they take advantage of a female partner who devotes all her time to their household. Those differences represent a handicap for women and hinder the carriers of women managers.

The purpose of this research is to find out whether creative behaviour within organisation is related to the employee's position in the organisation and to the size and ownership type of the organisation. 337 participants of the research were asked to fill in the Creativity in Workplace Questionnaire KAMP (Kwasniewska 2005) (Polish: Kwestionariusz Aktywnosci Twórczej w Miejscu Pracy) which was constructed for the purpose of this survey.

Contemporary trends in the global economy, including development of global Information technology result in more and more companies becoming global enterprises. To mark its existence on the global market, a company should not only have suitable financial means, assets and workforce but also most importantly an efficient system of management. The paper presents a following hypothesis. In order to stay ahead of their competitors, a company should have a management system which would allow them to react instantly not only to opportunities but also to existing and potential threats. The traditional organization is no longer competitive. Based on hierarchical structure it is not able to take advantage of opportunities created by globalization and protect itself from threats which may arise. Thus, transformation should take place here. Replacing a hierarchical organization (object oriented) with a flexible organization (problem oriented) seems promising. Specialist literature refers to it as a project oriented organization. The first part of the paper presents methodological problems of applying reengineering and x-engineering approaches to the transformation of the organization. The second part contains an analysis of effects and barriers of the transformation exemplified by the organization which has undergone the above mentioned process.

The study presents entirely new findings connected with the united student organization created on the basis of legislation in May 1942. The facts are presented in a logical way in an effort to deal with the origin and activity of the organization, which was formed in the disturbed period of the war. While researching his dissertation, the author discovered new facts, which have not been presented to such an extent by previous historians. These new findings were obtained mainly from the detailed study of student periodicals published in the period 1942 – 1945, and from the detailed archive research. Therefore, the study presents new materials from the historical research on a period so much studied by several generations of the trained professions and ordinary lay people.
