This paper deals with, on the one hand, an evolutionary approach to management and on the other hand to the evolutionary epistemology. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the establishment of the most salient general behavioural determinants of the evolutionary selection mechanism in management. The aim has been realized through answering the following underlying research questions: (1) Which determinants of the selection mechanism should be considered in the examination of that process?, (2) Which are the most salient general behavioural determinants of the selection mechanism? Deep investigation of the literature studies were used as the research method. Hence, the analysis is deductive. The paper is conceptual and contributes to the comprehension of the intra-organizational processes. The key findings are as follows: (1) The determinants of the selection mechanism should be considered in the following patterns of managerial activities: behavioural, cognitive, and emotional; (2) The behavioural regularities are the most common for all the selection replicators (habits, organizational routines, meta-routines) represented by particular interactors (individuals, groups, organizations, populations) including the fact that they may be constituted by and/or constitutive of cognitive regularities; (3) Amongst a set of behavioural determinants of the selection mechanism, generative creativity (proactivity) including both creative thought and proactive orientation in order to behave creatively and also intelligence plays a critical role; (4) Proactive orientation to behave creatively involves both a proactive personality as well as the proactive categories such as proactive work behaviour, proactive strategic behaviour, and proactive person-environment fit behaviour; (5) Intelligence is the hallmark enabling sufficiently the selection of particular selection replicators so as to intelligently adapt to the context by means of learning how to appropriately retain, accumulate, and transfer the encountered solutions.

Evolutionary economic geography became popular in the late 1990s. The study has developed on the basis of evolutionary economics, which has achieved greater success in explaining phenomena in the microeconomic than in the macroeconomic sphere and it has had non-spatial character. Evolutionary economic geography is an alternative in economic geography and regional planning for static or pseudo-dynamic research. Supporters of evolutionary economic geography, by criticizing among others New Economic Geography by P. Krugman, conduct research with the use of generalized Darwinism, path dependence and complexity theory. In this paper the author discusses the basic approach and assumptions of evolutionary economic geography and its application in regional economy, especially as an answer to the search for ways out of the economic crisis of regions and cities.

The paper focuses on the problem of the defi nition of regional and urban resilience, how to measure them, and how to evaluate the signifi cance of these categories in the regional studies. The analysis was carried out taking into account the structural and functional conditions of the regions and cities. In this article the author discusses the conditions and factors facilitating the strengthening of the adaptability of the regional economy and urban, with regard to the principles of evolutionary economic geography. The aim of the paper is to present the possibilities of application of the concept of regional and urban resilience to recent analyzes of regional development, with particular emphasis on evolutionary approach. The author applied the descriptive method and the comparative method. The analyzes are based on literature studies. Individualized study of social, economic and spatial structures of various spatial units, taking into account their resilience, can provide valuable information on the processes of adaptation of regions and cities and thus favorable conditions for their resistance, recovery, re-orientation and renewal.

Badania odporności gospodarczej stanowią relatywnie nowy przedmiot debaty w ramach studiów regionalnych. W części wstępnej artykułu zaprezentowano dwie główne koncepcje odporności, tj. podejście ewolucyjne oraz podejście instytucjonalno-funkcjonalne, zakładające kluczową rolę polityków szczebla regionalnego, instytucji gospodarczych, społecznych i przedsiębiorców. Na przykładzie ośmiu regionów europejskich przedstawiono podjęte działania zmierzające do złagodzenia negatywnych skutków kryzysu gospodarczego oraz strategie sprzyjające budowaniu odporności gospodarczej. W części końcowej wskazano na najważniejsze i skuteczne instrumenty zastosowane w większości badanych regionów.

The concept of economic resilience is a relatively new subject of debate within the framework of regional studies. In the first part of the paper, the authors present two main concepts of resilience, i.e. an evolutionary approach and an agency perspective. On the example of Wight European regions, they describe the actions taken to mitigate the adverse effects of the economic crisis and the strategies that build economic resilience. The final section identifies the key effective tools used in most analyzed regions.
