Supplying Spin-Offs: Collaboraton Practces in the Perpetuaton of an Organizaton
No full textThis paper focuses on the collaboration practices between spin-offs and their
customers and suppliers. With empirical material from seven cases of incumbentbacked
spin-offs, we find that suppliers are highly involved in the development
of the innovation that spin-offs are based upon and specifically, the practices of
understanding customers, identifying a market gap and collaborating with suppliers.
We contribute to the spin-off literature by revealing which activities are at play for
successful spin-offs, and we contribute to practice theory by empirically uncovering
the general understandings in the perpetuation of an organization and the nets
between the spin-offs and their suppliers.Artykuł dotyczy współpracy pomiędzy firmami spin-off a ich klientami i dostawcami.

How Virtual are Virtual Teams? Review of Selected Definitions and Measurements of the Virtuality
Get PDFPeople nowadays very often work from home or different business sites and can build teams of individuals based in many different locations, sometimes continents apart that have never met each other face to face but cooperate thanks to communication technologies. Such teams are known as virtual teams. It is rare to meet the teams that are not virtual at least to some extent (Kirkman & Mathieu, 2005). What is surprising is the fact that there is no agreement among researchers on how to define virtuality nor how to measure it. Because the phenomenon of virtual teams is very promising from both practical and theoretical perspectives, the aims of this article are following: to compare definitions of virtual teams, to check how virtuality was measured in selected empirical studies. Also, to present results of my empirical research on 206 individuals with two different measures of virtuality (distance between team members and a number of face-to-face meetings). In conclusions, virtuality as a feature of any team is presented, and researchers are encouraged to include virtuality dimension in the wider research on the teams

Czas święconego czyli magia wielkanocnych zwyczajów
Get PDFUcztę Wielkanocną rozpoczyna dzielenie się poświęconym jajem połączone z wzajemnym składaniem sobie życzeń. Był zwyczaj, że przed rozpoczęciem uczty wielkanocnej już po podzieleniu się jajkiem, każdy z domowników zjadał kawałek chrzanu. Tłumaczono, że w ten sposób uniknie się przez cały rok bólu zębów, brzucha, kataru i kaszlu, a ponadto uważano to za umartwienie gdyż Jezus przed śmiercią był pojony żółcią i octem. Znane było też wzajemne „chodzenie na święcone jajko”, czyli odwiedzanie się. Dzisiaj zwyczaj ten zanikł niemal zupełnie. Nic ze święconego nie mogło się zmarnować. Okruchy ciast rozsiewano po ogrodzie, a z poświęconego chrzanu robiono krzyżyki. Miały one chronić od węży. Artykuł omawia niektóre zwyczaje związane ze świętami „Wielkiej Nocy” Małopolski i Podkarpacia
The Creation of Process Architecture in a Municipal Company

Comparative Analysis of Instruments Used to Modify Templates in Content Management Systems
Get PDFContemporary websites become the primary, and often the only communication tool for the majority of enterprises and organizations. However, they require frequent updating of content. In such cases, content management systems (CMSes) become a dedicated solution. Due to the large offer of commercial and non-commercial CMS solutions, making the right decision is strictly connected with the costs generated by the said systems. Templates, which define the layout of a website, are a crucial element of every content management system. The following paper attempts to answer the questions whether templates can be modified by using the publicly available tools without the necessity to involve IT specialists and, consequently, incurring additional costs of making such changes

The Comparison of Funds Allocation Under the Regional Operational Programmes in 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 Programming Periods
Get PDFThe Intraregional policy comprises actions taken by the regional self- government authorities and their agencies which influence the processes of socio-economic development taking place in the region. Due to the volume of funds involved, the Regional Operational Programmes (ROPs) can be regarded as the most important instrument of intraregional policy in Poland (in the programming period 2007-2013 voivodeships received 16,6 billion of Euro and in the current programming period 2014-2020 the planned allocation amounts to 31 billion Euro). The primary objective of this study is to characterize and compare the distribution of Polish voivodeships’ operational programmess funds in 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 programming periods for different categories of intervention to find out if any patterns of allocation exist. The results of this study will be used in further authors’ investigations concerning the degree of adequacy of voivodeships’ funds allocation to the needs and potentials of the region (smart specialization policy approach)
