This paper explores selected aspects of sustainability and organizational paradigms. In a more simple interpretation: how can we benefit from accumulated experience, even when the situation and context of operation changes? First, interpretations of paradigms are discussed, and their importance are emphasized. It is argued that paradigms, in the “Kuhn” sense, can be regarded valid in the natural sciences. Yet it is questionable whether they apply to social sciences, or in our everyday life. A discussion of ‘paradigms’ may also deal with context when little remains constant (eg.business), and when theories are contingent upon circumstances. From such a perspective a discussion concerning the existence of classical ‘paradigms’ in organizational theory is conducted, including examples of how difficult it is for some “organizational paradigms” to disappear. This outline is followed by examples of newly created paradigms that revolutionize our life. These new paradigms bring glory and fortunes to their authors; yet the same was true of paradigms that were valid decades or centuries ago. There are also “life (or personal) paradigms”, relative to small issues, which mark somewhat a shift from the world of micro-economy, to daily reality. The specific importance of these micro rules is explored based on incident related to the scholarly achievements of Professor Wiesław Grudzewski.

This paper presents the results of an assessment of technical efficiency of innovations in European Union. Data Envelopment Analysis was used to investigate this subject. Results of simulation experiments were used to anticipate possible suggestions regarding policy measures that may be considered when exploring means to improve the Polish performance. Polish technical efficiency of innovations is below that in the European Union. Poland operates decreasing returns to scale. Special attention should be directed to education, research, and support to SMEs. It is essential to undertake legal changes relative to innovation activities and the attitudes of Poles towards innovativeness in order to improve results. In general the national Innovation System needs to be corrected [or improved]. The key aspect of improvement rests with congestion: overinvestment or inappropriate use of resources. Suggestions for further research of the subject and improvement of the National Innovation System are presented.

W opracowaniu tym przedstawiono wnioski z oceny technicznej sprawności innowacji w krajach Europy. W analizie wykorzystano metodę Data Envelopment Analysis, wspierając ją symulacją dla wskazania zakresów działań proinnowacyjnych, które charakteryzują się niską sprawnością realizacji. Techniczna sprawność innowacji w Polsce jest niższa niż innych krajów w analizowanym zbiorze. Polska działa w obszarze zmniejszających się zwrotów z tytułu skali. Szczególną uwagę poświęcić należy edukacji, badaniom i wspieraniu MŚP. Należy podjąć działania w kierunku zmiany obecnego systemu prawnego i nastawienia Polaków do innowacji, jeżeli oczekuje się poprawy sprawności działań proinnowacyjnych w przyszłości. Aby poprawić techniczną sprawność innowacji w Polsce, należy również usprawnić Narodowy System Innowacyjności. Podstawowym czynnikiem obniżającym techniczną sprawność innowacji w Polsce jest przeinwestowanie (i/lub marnotrawstwo nakładów na innowacje). W podsumowaniu podano sugestie kierunków dalszych prac badawczych nad poprawą funkcjonowania Narodowego Systemu Innowacyjności.

This paper examines the information content of the selected composite indexes, namely the Global Competitiveness Report Index, the Human Development Index, the Knowledge Economy Index, the Innovation Union Scoreboard, and the like. These indexes are examined from the viewpoint of country rankings. It is argued that these indexes provide highly similar information, which brings to question the usefulness of such a variety of approaches. This paper also explores the drawbacks of composite indexes, and questions whether these indexes can adequately serve as policy-setting mechanisms.

The concept of National Innovation System (NIS) is explored from the perspective of its propensity for formalization. It is observed that there are problems with formalization (measurement) of NIS and consequently, deficiency in assessment of efficiency of pro-innovative ventures. Based on an overview of the literature, subsystems of NIS are identified and the leading topics within these subsystems are presented. Results of this study are believed to create the platform for formalization of NIS.

For decades what has been heated are debates on topics such as: which country is the most competitive? What is the best country to live in?. However, it may be disputable whether results of these debates have practical outcomes. It is arguable whether is it clear what constructs are in fact discussed, how to measure their level, and how to draw conclusions from such studies. This paper addresses aspects relevant to innovativeness - interpretation, measurement, accuracy and practicality. This paper shows that despite of very abundant literature on the subject, the prime tangible effect deals with various rankings of countries for public relations purpose rather than it provides a policy setting directions.

W artykule podjęto problem niedoboru ilości i jakości zasobu ludzkiego oraz jego wpływu na poziom innowacyjności wybranych krajów. Przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą działań podejmowanych przez te kraje, które mają na celu podniesienie jakości kapitału intelektualnego. Odniesiono się także do związków, jakie występują między poziomem innowacyjności, przedsiębiorczości, nakładami na edukację i prace badawczo-rozwojowe oraz wynikami ekonomicznymi uzyskiwanymi w analizowanych gospodarkach narodowych. Szczególna uwaga zwrócona została na nakłady i wyniki w Polsce. Na tej podstawie wyprowadzono wnioski o konieczności stworzenia nowej spójnej polityki państwa, mającej na celu poprawę jakości kapitału ludzkiego, a także zarysowano kierunki potrzebnych zmian, jakie muszą zajść w organizacjach działających na terenie Polski.

The paper discusses the problems related to the shortage of qualified personnel proficient enough to foster innovations and the consequences of this scarcity upon innovativeness in selected countries. A comparative analysis of policies and actions that are aimed at the improvement of capabilities of the human capital has been performed for these countries. Issues pertinent to the interrelationships between the level of innovativeness, entrepreneurship, education expenditures, R&D and economic results of the country have been discussed. Special attention has been dedicated to the input to the innovation processes in Poland and the results produced. It has been observed, that whereas all countries to some extend suffer from deficiency of human skills a variety of means are used to remedy the situation, at times very vigorously. Based on the obtained results, conclusions regarding the need to formulate a cohesive state policy aimed at amelioration of the human capital have been suggested. Required changes in operations and the co-operation patterns of agencies acting in the field of innovations have been outlined.
