Selected determinants of contemporary management

Abstract

This article presents a number of determinants of contemporary organizations which form the basis for the consideration of selected management issues, predominantly those related to soft management. It points out that a company’s human resources are its most valuable asset, and shows how to manage this asset so that it develops and becomes an important element in building the organization’s strategy and position. By highlighting some of the implications of the internationalization of social and economic processes, the need for companies’ employees to continuously improve their professional skills was emphasized. This in turn became the premise for the presentation of a series of conclusions – suggestions which are addressed to science and didactics.
