Determinants of the emergence and the development of clusters / Determinanty powstania i rozwoju klastrów
No full text The aim of this article is to systemize the most important concepts defining determinants of functioning of cluster structures. The achievement of such formulated goal required carrying out a thorough review of both Polish and foreign literature on the issue of bunches. Due to the volume restrictions of this article, there were presented only the selected, according to the author most interesting, concepts associated with the issues of success factors of bunches. The author’s attention was focussed on the analysis of the factors determining the success of any cluster at the stage of its creation (the determinants of the emergence and creation of bunches) and of its development (determinants of functioning). It is in the article that the theoretical problems related to the issues of bunches of enterprises were discussed. In the first part of the article, there were presented endogenous and exogenous factors determining the formation of cluster structures. It is later in this article that the factors determining the development of bunches were described with particular emphasis on the sources of the competitive edge of the location. It is at the end of the article, further to the deliberations carried out, that conclusions and recommendations for the best ways of supporting cluster structures were presented</jats:p
Polityka wspierania klastrów w Unii Europejskiej
No full textCelem artykułu jest przedstawienie polityki klastrowej realizowanej na poziomie Unii Europejskiej w latach 2006-2020. Uwaga skupiona została na działaniach podejmowanych przez Komisję Europejską. Osiągnięcie celu wymagało przeprowadzenia analizy literatury poświęconej klastrom oraz opracowań o charakterze praktycznym. Na początku przybliżono istotę i wybrane modele polityki klastrowej. Następnie przedstawiono zapisy najważniejszych dokumentów UE odnoszących się do gron. Dalej zaprezentowano wybrane dotychczasowe działania i inicjatywy Komisji na rzecz wspierania struktur klastrowych, a także założenia przyjęte w tym zakresie na bieżący okres programowania. Analiza aktywności podjętych na rzecz wspierania klastrów we Wspólnocie pozwala na wysunięcie wniosku, że skupiają się one na dwóch obszarach, tj. wzmacnianiu współpracy pomiędzy podmiotami oraz zarządzaniu klastrami. Działania te mają na celu zapewnienie lepszych warunków do powstania w UE większej liczby światowej klasy gron

SAFE AND FLEXIBLE LABOR MARKET IN EUROPE - IDEA OF THE FLEXICURITY CONCEPT
No full textGlobalizacja, przyspieszony postęp techniczny i przemiany demograficzne stanowią obecnie ogromne wyzwanie dla gospodarki światowej. Efektem zachodzących zmian jest proces uelastycznienia rynków pracy, który z jednej strony zwiększa konkurencyjność przedsiębiorstw, a z drugiej strony pojawia się potrzeba socjalnego zabezpieczenia osób zatrudnionych w ramach elastycznych form pracy. Odpowiedzią na pytanie, jak jednocześnie pogodzić ze sobą utrzymanie wysokiej konkurencyjności z zabezpieczeniem socjalnym jest model flexicurity, który stanowi zintegrowaną strategię równoczesnego zwiększania elastyczności i bezpieczeństwa. W artykule zaprezentowano model flexicurity w świetle teorii i praktyki Unii Europejskiej. Część pierwsza artykułu stanowi wprowadzenie do problematyki flexicurity. Wyjaśniono w niej podstawowe założenia koncepcji oraz wskazano korzyści płynące z jej wprowadzania. Następnie omówiono rodzaje elastyczności i bezpieczeństwa w powiązaniu z flexicurity. W dalszej części przedstawiono ścieżki flexicurity zgodne z dokumentami programowymi UE oraz wybrane modele tej koncepcji funkcjonujące w Europie. W zakończeniu przedmiotem rozważań jest polski rynek pracy z punktu widzenia możliwości realizacji idei flexicurity.Globalization, accelerated technical progress and demographic changes currently pose a huge challenge to the world economy. The result of occurring changes is the process of labor market flexibilization that on one hand increases competitiveness of enterprises, on the other, a need of social security of the persons employed within flexible forms of work arises. The answer to the question of how to concurrently reconcile keeping high level of competitiveness and social security is the flexicurity model that constitutes an integrated strategy of simultaneous increase of flexibility and security. In this article, the flexicurity model in the light of theory and practice of the European Union was presented. The first part of the article constitutes an introduction to flexicurity issues. ln this
part, the basic assumptions of the concept where explained and benefits of its implementation were indicated. Next, the types of flexibility and security in connection with flexicurity were discussed. In the later part, flexicurity pathways consistent with the EU policy papers and chosen models of this concept functioning in Europe were presented. In the conclusion, the subject of deliberation was the Polish labor market from the point of view of possibility of implementation of the idea of flexicurity
Macroeconomic determinants of agricultural preferential investment credit in Poland
No full textIn the paper the impact of macroeconomic determinants on the number and value of agricultural investment preferential credits in Poland is examined. This kinds of determinants are of an exogenous character and they cannot be controlled by individual farm. They are related to economic growth, price level changes, monetary policy, inflation, changes in foreign trade conditions. The econometric analysis showed that macroeconomic environment influenced farmers’ credit decisions at number and value of taken credits. The statistically significant variables in the case of these measures were the index of price relations of sold agricultural products to goods and services purchased by private farms (“price gap”), interest rate of central bank and real interest rate paid by farmers. Somewhat surprisingly, neither rate of GDP growth nor real effective exchange rate affected the scope of credits. In the case of GDP rate, the result can suggest that farmers expectations does not depend on current phase of business cycle. The reason of luck the influence of terms of foreign exchange can be explained partly by relatively low share of agricultural products in foreign trade turnover.preferential credit, farmers, macroeconomic determinants, Agricultural Finance,
Alina Ashbrook letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 19, 1914
No full textAlina Ashbrook, a resident of Mingo Junction, Ohio, sent this letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association on October 19, 1914, to request campaigning materials for her town. She had visited Columbus and had heard about advertising balloons which would be used to endorse women's suffrage, and wanted to display them in Mingo Junction as well.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
