This commentary examines the social perspective on creativity, as presented in the featured article. There are several attractive aspects to the social perspective, but serious limitations as well, which are detailed in this commentary. The assumptions of the social perspective are also discussed. The most questionable of these assumes that social recognition and impact are inherent parts of creativity. The parsimonious alternative is to define creativity such that it includes only what is related to creativity per se and to recognize that social recognition may follow creation and is certainly extricable from it. A defence of this parsimonious view is presented. A brief discussion of possible crises in the field of creativity studies is also presented, with one suggestion being that the diverse approaches used in the field represent a kind of divergent thinking and as such represent progress, even though it is not linear. This commentary concludes with a discussion about creativity being vital for quality of life. That perspective differs dramatically from the product view of creativity which is often tied to a social perspective.

Creativity studies seem to be a stronghold for individual-based psychological theories. The reasons for this are numerous and complex and, among them, we can identify certain limited or counter-productive ways of conceptualising the social. In this reply to comments I address both the status of the social in creativity studies and the dichotomies that follow from adopting an external view of society and culture. Among them, the separation between creative potential and achievement is particularly problematic, as it constructs a reified, static, and individual notion of potential, reflected in the measurement of divergent thinking. I propose, towards the end, a perspectival model of creativity that radically socialises divergent thinking by placing the social at the core rather than the periphery of creative production. Finally, I suggest that including time into our theory and research holds the key to overcoming many of the false dichotomies that underline creativity studies, at least in psychology. A thoroughly social perspective on creativity might seem like a daring or foolish endeavour but it is, in my view, also the most promising.

Wyższa Szkoła Przedsiębiorczości i Prawa w Ostrawie i Wyższa Szkoła Ekonomii i Zarządzania Publicznego w Bratysławie monografią zakończyły w 2015 r. drugi etap badań międzynarodowych Analiza rozwoju i stanu małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw na Słowacji i w Czechach. Biznes rodzinny, jak wykazały analizy praktyczne, ma więcej korzyści niż „biznes nie-rodzinny”. Oprócz korzyści ekonomicznych biznes rodzinny wpływa również na kultywowanie życia rodzinnego, utrzymując jednocześnie system wartości i styl życia z jednej strony oraz stabilizację gospodarczą z drugiej. Niniejszy artykuł opisuje wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w Republice Czeskiej i Republice Słowackiej, w oparciu o które sformułowano założenia badawcze do kolejnego etapu eksploracji funkcjonowania przedsiębiorczości rodzinnej w regionie Górnego Śląska, w Polsce i w Czechach.

This paper describes the goals and expected results of the research of the family businesses in the region of Upper Silesia in Poland and the Czech Republic, which builds on previous research in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.

In this article we would like to examine the extent for using social media by employees in the area of their self-promoting and in their search of a job. Over 150 respondents completed an online form containing the question about their professional profile on social media and about their skills in self-promotion in this mean of communication. Four research problems were defined. Collected responses were analyzed and results presented. The growing role of social media during an employment process can be confirmed.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań dotyczące zasięgu mediów społecznościowych w kwestiach autopromocji i poszukiwania pracy. Zdefiniowane problemy badawcze dotyczyły odpowiedzi na pytania, czy społeczeństwo jest doświadczone w korzystaniu z mediów społecznościowych i czy wykorzystuje je w procesie promocji siebie jako pracownika oraz w procesie poszukiwania pracy. Ponadto zbadano, czy nasze społeczeństwo posiada umiejętności w zakresie promowania siebie w mediach społecznościowych oraz czy Internet dominuje nad klasycznymi sposobami poszukiwania pracy dostępnymi w świecie rzeczywistym.
