By employing the concept of a social capital the author argues that the best measure of a theoretical development for any economic theory of organisation is its contribution in the understanding of a social capital. In this way social capital is becoming one of the key factors of evolutionary changes within the economic theory of organisation. The author further wishes to point out how the evolutionary progress in economic theory of organisation brings about increasingly improved understanding of the relations in the theoretical models. However, the concession required for this improvement is a lower degree of a theoretical generalisation and more intense heterogeneity of the economic theory itself. The less effort an economic theory of organisation devotes to being theoretically impeccable, the more abundant are the increasing returns it yields through its findings with regard to the aspect of the social capital.

The empirical research carried out in different countries on the performance of family businesses in comparison to their non-family counterparts show that the former are more effective than the latter. The natural source of the family business competitive advantage is family, social capital. Trust is a major element which makes up the capital. In the paper, the author describes the nature of the trust and identifies critical conditions necessary to sustain this strategic resource as time goes by and the business grows. According to the concept by Sundaramurthy to sustain the emotional trust in family businesses, their found-ers and managers have to focus on developing other forms of trust which are complementary to the emotional one and support it. Family firms have potential to generate bigger cross-border social capital, which lets them achieve better results in foreign markets.

The article reflects on the importance of social capital for the transformation and modernisation processes at work in Poland after 1989 and on the formulation of development trends in this area. The question of the development trends of social capital is also a question of the transformation of society as a whole and the ways in which it will change in the foreseeable future. The response to various challenges in Polish society often reinforces survival and adaptation behaviours and attitudes, pushing individuals to focus on creating an inbred relationship and maintaining high cohesion within their own group. The need of the moment is to create conditions for the development of social capital, which, however, in the light of the results of Social Diagnosis, remains more a postulate than a reality.

The influence of inequality on economic growth is the subject of heated interest of economists from several years. It is symptomatic, and surprising in the light of traditional standpoint of economics, that majority of empirical research point to positive dependence between equality and growth. The analysis of findings of this research suggests that equality affects growth through: improved allocation of economic resources, that enhance the possibility of poor to educate and increase the human capital; reduction of economic fluctuation; political stability; and strengthening the social capital.

The article deals with problems posed by the organization of education in rural areas at the time of transformations taking place in Poland. The starting point for considerations is the question about the presences of advantages of scale in the universal system of education and about the relations between school and the village community, parents in particular. The authors are trying to prove that the liquidation of rural schools that have a small number of pupils should not be considered exclusively from the point of view of a temporary reduction in the budget expenditures of a commune. School constitutes the social centre of village life and its liquidation produces in the long run negative effects for the local community. They also draw attention to the fact that an increase in the number of pupils attending the same school impacts negatively on the quality of instruction and upbringing. Their aim is to present an alternative solution which envisages the formation of the so-called Small Schools. These are institutions formed by associations of the residents of villages to replace the liquidated schools that were financed by the local authorities. The authors present the characteristic features of such Small Schools and data attesting to the fact that the cost of financing them can be low and that they ensure a higher quality of education. Additionally, the formation of such schools is a factor stimulating the activity of local community and the development of the social capital of villages. They describe barriers to the formation of Small Schools in Poland and chances that they create for a multi-directional development of rural areas.

Research on national innovation system has increased noticeably in recent years. However, while some literature is available on technology management, little information is available on social capital. Similarly, the study on social capital has been mounting steadily, but little work is available on national innovation system. Thus, this work used the reports of World Bank and World Value Survey, applying the linear structural relation model to consider this relationship between the social capital and national innovation system. Overall, the results found that the innovation seem a collective achievement embedded with other social activities, and that the social capital like a catalyser helps the collective innovation and economic productivity. Thus, this work suggests that every country should recognize that economy was closely embedded with social structure, and that should enrich the social capital to improve the performance of national innovation system and economic productivity.

The aim of the article is to present one of the possible models of social policy - civic social policy. The author argues that traditional models such as those proposed by Esping- Andersen are based on the ideological criteria, which makes it difficult to accept one of them by all political parties. Therefore, the solution is to create model which concerns ways of accomplishment of social policy rather than ideology. Presenting the concept of civic social policy, the author argues that not only government, but also citizens and companies should be responsible for social and economic life. The subsidiarity should be the main rule organizing the social policy. The social capital can be used to accomplish some social tasks. When choosing the contractor of social tasks, price should not be the only criteria, but direct and indirect results rather.

The problem of selection of attractive regions for investment was discussed. Based on empirical analysis, the need for analytical assistance for investors is advocated. Based on assumption on positive relation of social capital and growth, investigation focuses on social capital influence reflected in economic communication activities and intensity. There are considered mailing activities measured by number of circulating packages and indicators describing economic activities for regions. Then, AI tools are employed to generate rules which identify patterns in data. Results of investigation performed on real data describing Polish provinces and districts encourage to expand the approach and include electronic documents or billings of mobile telephones.

There are numerous blank spots in the empirical analysis of social capital. Researchers, international organisations and research groups offer various approaches for assessing social capital. Regardless of the level on which the social capital is analysed - public, business or individual - it is possible to differentiate among three basic methods that can be used, namely, the micro approach, the macro approach and the mezzo approach. Cooperation (its form, structure and conditions) is a basic element of social capital. This article describes the first step in analysing social capital in Latvia by focusing on cooperation as the characteristic element of social capital and its relation to indicators of business development in the tourism industry. It is clear that there is a need for in-depth analysis which deals with the dynamic aspects of social capital by focusing on prerequisites for establishing social capital and the morphology of social networks in order to identify which type of social networking structure facilitates successful cooperation in the tourism industry.

Using secondary analysis was created original set of information about these activities within rural municipalities in the Czech Republic. The results of primary research show, that high natural potential is reflected by rural inhabitants. However, this potential is not often connected with realisation of social inclusive activities.

The relationship between social capital and economic development of European regions is investigated. Although relation under consideration appears not deterministic, the results remain in compliance with the theoretical conviction that countries with the high level of social capital are also characterized by the high level of production. Additionally, decision rules suggest the existence of relationship between quality of democracy and institutions and both - social capital and economic development. Variables describing the quality of government appeared in roots of the majority of the decision trees with social capital index as well as GDP.

Socially responsible enterprise can be interpreted in terms of 'social capital', which is defined as connection within and between social networks. These connections, treated as a potential value, are characterized by mutual trust and stressing the importance of cooperation. As a consequence employees learn that cooperation is an effective tool to maximize their own profits (especially in the long term). Mutual trust and cooperation give rise to unformalized, spontaneous exchanges, and these lead to flexibility and innovation. Differentiating organizations by means of the level of social capital is based on the analysis of individuals' tendency to cooperate. The aim of the article is to describe the connection between the practices undertaken in an organization to strengthen cooperative attitudes and their consequences for the national social capital.
