The goal of this article is to present the policy of training and innovation in enterprises from the Podkarpackie region. The survey has shown that innovative activities are least frequently undertaken among micro-businesses and they are also rarely undertaken in the group of transport companies. Innovative initiatives are less likely to be taken by enterprises that operate on the local market. In the innovation analysis, the attitude of entrepreneurs in the province of Podkarpackie was revealed as mostly reactive. Changes there often occur under the pressure of competition and rarely when we are dealing with the desire to become a pioneer. This conservative stance can be explained by concerns which accompany innovation-related activities.

The aim of this study is to examine a wider list of factors (business structure, management structure and environmental factors), whose impact on the strategic planning in the private sector has been investigated. A total of 212 questionnaires were collected from different size, age, industry type and ownership enterprises working in the private sector in Republic of Macedonia. In order to analyze the variables that are determinants of the strategic planning, multiple linear regression was used. The business size, business control, intention to change the operations and business flexibility are very important factors in the enterprises that have a significant correlation with the strategic planning incidence. The importance of this study lays in its contribution to all past studies and research referring to this subject in transition and emerging countries, with emphasis on the case of the Republic of Macedonia as a transition economy, as well as in the examination of a wider list of factors whose impact on the strategic planning was examined.

The main aim of the article is to present a recognition of the factors in uencing the innovative activity (organizational and marketing) of industrial enterprises in Poland. It was decided to specify 5 potential variables explaining innovative activity of enterprises. Multiple regression was used to test the significance of factors. The results show that the share of micro companies in the given division of manufacturing turned out to be a significant factor in determining the level of activity in the scope of marketing-related innovativeness. Companies owned by foreign subjects display higher activity in the sphere of innovative activity. The share of bank credits in short-term liabilities turns out to be a serious barrier to implementation of organizational innovations.

Professional Ethics Code in Accounting constitutes a set of principles and values of everyday conduct of people whose work is connected with accounting. Accounting is an information system of enterprises, so it forms the basis of reliable management. Therefore information generated by accounting must be credible. Otherwise, the managing process would be based on false reports, which in consequence could lead to a fall of an economic subject, or it would at least cause the loss of clients, cooperators and associates` trust. Accounting Association in Poland as an organization with more than one hundred years` tradition for people connected with enterprise accounting out of concern for reliability and fairness of carried out and registered economic transactions, recommended the first in Poland ethics code directed to accountants as a professional group. Professional Ethics Code in Accounting is a set of norms which aim is to help people connected with accounting solve ethical dilemmas appearing in their job. It can be said that this code is, so to speak, an answer to unfair accusations formulated against accountants being (in some people`s opinion) a group of “criminals in white collars”. It is obvious that there are different people with different characters in each society. Pathologies were and will be present everywhere. Accountants` environment is not free of them, which is proved by accounting scandals in Poland and abroad (for example the case of Enron company in the United States). In order to avoid generalizing, it must be underlined that among the ones connected with accounting, there are a lot of honest people caring about the company`s good name.

The article examines the innovativeness of enterprises in 69 Polish NUTS3 sub-regions in 2014. The analysis is based on unpublished regional data from the Polish Central Statistical Office covering the following variables: the share of enterprises which have incurred outlays for innovative activities, the share of enterprises implementing process or product innovations, the share of companies collaborating in the field of innovation, and the share of new or modernized products in total production sold in industrial companies. The analysis focuses on building rankings and cluster analysis of NUTS3 regions. As research methods, the author uses selected methods of multidimensional comparative analysis, principal component analysis and the hierarchical Ward’s method. The results show that there are substantial differences among NUTS3 sub-regions as regards innovativeness of enterprises. The low level of cooperation does not foster innovation. Innovation outputs of enterprises are also unsatisfactory. The highest variation is seen in the share of new or modernized products in total production sold in industrial companies. The final effect of the cluster analysis is the division of regions into 7 groups. In the case of units where innovation inputs are not reflected in innovation outputs, it would be useful to explore regional and local factors influencing those relations. Further research is still needed.

The aim of the study is to identify the possibilities of using the services of business environment institutions by companies operating in the Polish economy. They may in fact actively use the services supporting their activities and the level of competitiveness. These services are provided by various types of institutions included in the business environment. These include: centers of entrepreneurship, innovation centers, non-bank financial institutions, self-government organizations. Unfortunately, the availability of services provided by these institutions varies greatly due to their geographical location in the individual provinces of Poland. Strong concentration of these institutions is particularly evident in the more developed regions. It appears that the system developed in Poland for supporting the competitiveness of enterprises, in principle, stimulates areas that are already dynamic, thus leading to a deepening of disparities in regional terms.

Modern theories are increasingly focusing on innovations. Scientific literature states that the implementation of innovations causes increase in sales volume: enterprises are improving the organization of production and trade methods, reducing production and trade costs, producing and selling competitive products as a result of technological progress. Technological progress also influences the development of production and trade prospects. Although the implementation of innovations is different, the main aspects are related to the novelty of product, production and service R&D intensity and the qualification of employees. Enterprises without the capacity to innovate may invest time and resources in studies of research results but are unable to transform this knowledge into practice (Hult et al., 2004). In such sense it is important to create innovative behaviors and related outcomes on country level (Koellinger, Thurik, 2009). Production and trade enterprises have a significant impact on the national economy, but the number of enterprises that have excellent understanding about innovations and their results is not sufficient. Sales of the trade enterprises in the European Union amount to 66%, and 74% of gross domestic product (GDP) in Lithuania. At the same time sales of the production enterprises in the European Union amount to 15.5% of GDP, and in Lithuania — 21% of GDP. Production and trade enterprises play a significant part among business companies. In corporate structure of the European Union 9.8% of companies are production companies which employ 22.6% of EU workers, while in the structure of the European Union 28.6% of companies are trade companies and these companies employ 24.7% of EU workers. However, in the trade sector there are 90% of companies, and in the production — 84% of companies with up to nine employees (Euro-stat, 2010). Nevertheless, the European Commission’s (2013) study shows the declining contribution of production enterprises to GDP. Eurostat (2010) statistics show that small and medium-sized manufacturing companies are very slow to improve their operations and labor productivity. The EU companies are anticipated to increase by only 2.4% compared with the US companies, where growth of labor productivity is 3.5% Therefore, innovations are also important for the EU trade and production companies. To sum up the above set out material, it can be said that the application of innovations must be considered as a very complex cognitive subject. The article consists of three parts to fully examine the implementation of innovations in production and trade enterprises. First, literature analysis is carried out and topic related aspects are identified. In the second part the paper presents empirical research methodology. Herein, practices of production and trade enterprises are presented, comparison of production and trade enterprises is carried out, and effects on the activeness of enterprises regarding the opportunities of innovation implementation in this area are analyzed. In the third part the article presents empirical research results, conclusions and recommendations. Literature analysis reveals that the greatest role innovation plays in international companies, however the number of such enterprises is very small in the EU. The results also show that production and trade companies from Luxembourg have higher competitiveness than the enterprises from other countries. Overall the paper glances into whether, to what extent, how companies innovate, and how this differs between production and trade service industries.

The issue of how to stimulate economic growth and development remains an open question. The EU structural funds are meant to help solve the problem at the regional level within the framework of the cohesion policy. Only some of these funds are used to directly subsidize businesses that are the engines of growth in a market economy. This paper aims to evaluate whether structural funds have played a positive and significant role in the development of enterprises in a region which does not belong to the economic leaders in Poland. It is based on the results of a direct study, statistical data and evaluation reports, as well as on the economic literature. The direct study was conducted in 2011. It focused on micro-economic projects supported by EU funds in the Lodz region. Interviews were conducted with representatives of 80 enterprises, which had completed at least one such a project. We conclude that the subsidies from structural funds have positively stimulated the modernization of the companies, albeit on a limited scale.

W artykule opisano wyniki badań empirycznych dotyczących identyfi kacji czynników skłaniających przedsiębiorstwa do zatrzymania ryzyka straty jako techniki zarządzania ryzykiem alternatywnej wobec ubezpieczenia. Empiryczna analiza uwarunkowań wyboru pomiędzy ubezpieczeniem a retencją ryzyka objęła szeroką, reprezentatywną próbę przedsiębiorstw z różnych branż, mających do czynienia z różnymi rodzajami ryzyka, co daje możliwość uogólnienia wniosków. Badanie wykazało, że siła związku między retencją ryzyka a poszczególnymi determinantami strategii zarządzania ryzykiem nie jest zbyt wysoka. Jest to dowodem złożoności wyborów między ubezpieczeniem i zatrzymaniem ryzyka. Na ostateczną decyzję w tej sprawie ma wpływ wiele czynników. Większość przeanalizowanych czynników działała raczej w kierunku zachęcającym do ubezpieczenia i zniechęcającym do retencji ryzyka. Jedynie trzy czynniki były dodatnio skorelowane z tendencją do zachowania ryzyka w przedsiębiorstwie. Były to: większa liczba szkód w przedsiębiorstwie, wyższe zatrudnienie (a więc pośrednio wielkość firmy) oraz większa kwota płaconej składki ubezpieczeniowej. Cechy te przekładały się, średnio rzecz biorąc, na wyższy stopień zatrzymania ryzyka w przedsiębiorstwie.

The article describes the results of the empirical examination aimed at the identifi cation of factors that induce enterprises to retain the risk of a loss, as a risk management strategy alternative to insurance. Empirical analysis of factors determining the choice between insurance and retention of the risk within the enterprise covered a broad, representative sample of fi rms, which makes it possible to draw some general conclusions. The research has shown that the dependence between risk retention and various determinants of the risk management strategy is not too strong. This is an indirect proof of the complexity of the choice between insurance and risk retention. The fi nal decision about that depends on many factors. Most of the analysed determinants acted in favour of insurance rather than risk retention. Only three factors were positively correlated with the tendency to retain the within the enterprise. These were: large number of losses suffered by the enterprise, high employment level (a bigger fi rm’s size), and the height of insurance fee. All the three factors translated, on the average, into a higher degree of risk retention.

В статье описаны результаты эмпирических исследований по выявлению условий, при которых предприятия при выборе техники управления риском отдают предпочтение удержанию риска убытков, а не страхованию. Эмпирический анализ обусловленностей выбора между страхованием и удержанием риска проводился на широкой репрезентативной выборке предприятий разных отраслей, имеющих дело с разными видами риска, что дало возможность сделать обобщающие выводы. Исследование показало, что сила корреляции между удержанием риска и отдельными детерминантами стратегии управления риском, не очень высока, что является доказательством сложного характера выбора между страхованием и удержанием риска. Окончательное решение по этому вопросу принимается под влиянием многих факторов. Большинство проанализированных факторов действует в направлении поощрения скорее страхования, чем удержания риска. Только три фактора имели положительную корреляцию с тенденцией к удержанию риска на предприятии. Ими были: большое количество потерь на предприятии, более высокая занятость (т.е. косвенно величина фирмы), а также высокая стоимость уплачиваемых страховых взносов. Эти факторы приводили, в среднем выражении, к более высокой степени удержания риска на предприятии.

Determining the scope and extent of the use of benchmarking in the surveyed enterprises from the province of Warmia and Mazury was the main goal of this paper. The surveys conducted showed that benchmarking is not used on a wide scale in Poland. This method was applied by only 17% of the enterprises surveyed. Those were mainly large enterprises in which the value of assets exceeds EUR 5 million. The high costs to the enterprises and labour input required for implementation, as well as maintaining the method in the enterprise were the main barriers to implementation of the method in enterprises.

The aim of the article is to assess changes in the enterprises’ demand for financial insurance. The analysis covered expenses incurred by business entities on purchase thereof and supply by the entity.

Furthermore, information from the studies-related literature has been included. The time period of studies covered the years 2005–2018. Selected types of insurance included in financial insurance have been presented herein and industries which these products are especially targeted at have been indicated. Moreover, supply by entities has been discussed with an indication of insurers who hold a leading position in the financial insurance sales in Poland. It has been stated that the demand (by value) for financial insurance in the years 2005–2018 was growing. The amount of the gross premium written in 2018 was twice as high as in 2005 and amounted to PLN 1.09 billion. Furthermore, it has been determined that the highest average dynamics of market growth concerned insurance from various financial risks (group 16), which are usually offered jointly with other insurance products, but also the dynamics of expenses incurred on purchasing surety was over 200%, whereas, in 2018 it was even 360%.
