Strategy for Effective Management of Organizational Change for Agricultural Enterprises

The main purpose of the article is to form the strategy for effective management of organizational change for agricultural enterprise. The set purpose is achieved through the use of a specific methodology, which includes the method of functional modeling of the IDEF0 standard. The object of the study is the functioning system of a separate agricultural enterprise. As a result of the study the most optimal strategy was formed. This methodology will not only optimize the work of modern agricultural enterprises, developing their safety and engineering aspects, but also, to some extent, normalize the development of the regional agricultural sector in which the enterprise operates. This strategy has three key directions, the implementation of which will fully ensure the normal functioning and development of the agricultural enterprise. The study has its limitations, since to form this model only the activities of one agricultural enterprise in Poland were taken into account; this model may be somewhat limited in use for other enterprises. In this regard, the prospects for subsequent research should be to expand the boundaries of the use of this model to the specifics of the functioning of the agricultural sectors of other countries.

Energy Use of Woody Biomass in Poland: Its Resources and Harvesting Form

Currently, woodchips and logging residues form the greatest share of biomass fuels used to generate heat in combined heat and power plants. They are supplied from various regions of the EU. The calorific values of the wood species used as biomass may vary significantly depending on the moisture and composition of the fuel, harvest seasonality, location, and other factors. This article presents the main resources of forest biomass and its characteristic features, as well as the calorific value of woodchips depending on the moisture content. Our research is based on the source data of forest resources from the State Forests National Forest Holding (PGLLP) in Poland. The research conducted by the main forestry enterprise in Poland covered a period of four years. The data on the harvesting of woodchips and logging residues converted into the calorific values of biomass were based on our research and a review of reference publications. Standard methods were used in the research, which included an analysis of the species and assortment structure of the forest biomass of energetic significance that was available for use. The research showed that the moisture content of the woodchips and lump wood was about 30%. The average annual energy value of the wood in the total area of forest resources was 0.07 GJ/ha, whereas the highest value was 0.14 GJ/ha. Between 2018 and 2021, the average energy resources of forest biomass in Poland increased from 351.8 TJ to 498.4 TJ.

Assessment of the efficiency of the continuous improvement system based on Kaizen in an example company

The article presents an attempt to show how the continuous improvement system based on the Kaizen philosophy works and how to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in an example of a production enterprise in Poland. It describes the principles of the Kaizen system and the methods available to allow for the assessment of its effectiveness. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the Kaizen system was based on available economic data, but, due to confidentiality or the inaccessibility of most of the data that could directly demonstrate the efficiency of this system, it was decided to also conduct surveys among workers and low- or mid-level managers. Research has shown, among other things, that the main motivator for employees to undertake activities related to continuous improvement are financial factors (bonuses, financial rewards) and a willingness to show themselves in a good light in front of their superiors, which is not consistent with the original assumptions of the creators of the Kaizen philosophy. Despite these differences, the application of the continuous improvement system in the company studied can be considered effective in light of the economic benefits and quality improvement.

Технология получения биогаза и ферментированного перегноя в условиях сельскохозяйственного предприятия Польши doi: 10.30766/2072-9081.2018.63.2.90-95.

The article provides the results of research on the development of non-wood manure and plant biomass processing technology for the production of biogas and environmentally friendly fertilizer (fermented humus) in the conditions of an agricultural enterprise in Poland. The slurry from the manure channel enters the preliminary storage unit of the substrate, where it is mixed and then transported to the fermentation chamber. Fermentation chamber is filled once a day with daily output of manure. Vegetable biomass is fed to the fermentation chamber in two portions, which provides three-fold mixing of the contents during the day with a hydraulic unit. The substrate subjected to methane fermentation is periodically stirred with a spatula mixer, which allows to accelerate the biogas process. The sulfur removal process is based on the passage of gas through charcoal, placed on the shelves of the cleaner. Gas meter allows you to control its production. Gas from the collector is sent to the water boiler, the work of which is automated. Warm water for heating the fermentation mass comes from the boiler through pipes into the fermentation chamber. Its task is to increase the temperature of compost up to 36°C and maintaining it during the fermentation process. Stability of humus temperature in the chamber is provided by the temperature controller (thermostat). Fermented compost undergoes further processing, which consists in mixing it with chopped straw, peat and other plant wastes. The mass is sent to an open humus chamber, where it is kept for about 3 months and is supplemented with fresh humus throughout the period. Biogas unit allows to recycle wastes in the areas of production and processing of agricultural products, to improve the environmental situation, to obtain biogas and environmentally friendly fermented humus with various plant additives, which belong to the group of very active biological fertilizers that stimulate the growth and development of cultivated plants.

Measurement and Analysis of the Efficiency of Human Capital in a Small Enterprise in Poland

Abstract Human capital plays an important role in the development of every company. Big enterprises have a Human Resources Department which conducts analyses and measurements of human capital. In Poland over 90% of the total number of companies is made up of small and middle-size enterprises. The aim of the research is to determine reasons why small Polish companies take an interest in the measurement and analysis of human capital as well as to discover the causes of their limited use of human capital measurement. The results confirmed that limited measurement and analysis of human capital efficiency in small companies results from the lack of additional information; apart from this it results from the binding legal regulations as well as the lack of employees who possess the knowledge necessary for conducting such analyses. Despite barriers and difficulties in human capital measurement, small companies appreciate employees and their qualification, not treating them only as a necessary cost of their doing business.

Działalność lecznicza – pojęcie oraz formy i zasady wykonywania

On July 1, 2011, the law of April 15, 2011 on therapeutic activity went into effect. It aimed at explaining and unifying the laws on therapeutic services. In order to achieve this aim, new notions were introduced such as therapeutic activity, activity in the field of therapeutic activity, health facility or non-enterprise based health facilities. These legal notions suggested by legislators are sources of doubt for numerous queries. The scope of these definitions causes many problems by their clarification. In many cases, there is so much doubt that questions about reason for the law, the coherence and the possibility of arranging legislative measures in the legal system of the Republic of Poland arise. The way the therapeutic activity is defined is one of the reasons for the aforementioned problems with its interpretation. The lawful definition that refers to unspecific notions such as therapeutic services, promotion of health or the relevant didactic and research activities seems to be very general. Additional doubt also arises from the lawful division of the definition of therapeutic activity into regulated activity according to law of July 2, 2004 on freedom of trade and activity that is not regulated as such. The definition of the notion of health facility calls for further consideration. The indication that health facilities drive entrepreneurs and the economy, makes it even more difficult to categorize their company status in case of a purchase. The appearing problems were additionally complicated by the legal division of non-enterprise based health facilities. The creation of such a category by legal entities with the emphasis that budgetary units and public autonomous administrative units are comprised within the area of health care does not correspond with the definition of an enterprise in Poland. Similar interpretation difficulties are caused by imprecise legal regulations. According to the definition of health facilities, partners in civil partnership and partners in general commercial partnerships and natural persons that conduct one-man business activity within their medical practice were excluded. The mentioned doubts make it difficult to establish the personal and objective application areas of the law. That is why the law on therapeutic activity, despite the legislators’ struggle to create clear and understandable definitions, did not only fail to clear any inadequacies of previous regulations, but also magnified the existing chaos in terminology.

Rozwój przedsiębiorczości w ocenie wskaźnika TEA

The introduction of the rules of free market economy caused changes in the structure of the economy. Unemployment grew on new job market. Private sector appeared in economy. There are favorable conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and self-employment. An important part of people in productive age has the advantage of such a situation. One of the goals of this elaboration is to analyze what matters influence over the development of the enterprise. Total Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) indicator help us to estimate the development of the enterprise. It measures general activity of economic undertakings. Thanks to it we can evaluate the general enterprise in Poland and compare it to the enterprise in 37 other states in the world. The enterprise is a social phenomenon. Behind every decision about starting the firm . to create new product or service, or to use new technology . always stands a man. Social structure of people who form the firms in Poland and over the world is worth to analyze. Such a research was conducted in 37 countries from GEM project. According to GEM results the enterprise in Poland is based on the lack of other ways to work. It is the key to economic development, to limitation of the unemployment, to modernization of society and to height of the welfare.

Rola programu PHARE w rozwoju przedsiębiorczości w Polsce w latach 1989-2004

The article shows the role of the PHARE programme in the development of enterprise in Poland 1989-2004. The programme was introduced in 1989 as the EU help, first only for Poland and Hungary, hence the name built of the first letters of the full English name „PolandHungary Assistance to Restructuring their Economies”. In 1990 countries like Albania, Romania, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia joined the programme. Till 2000 seventeen countries in our region benefited from the programme. The programme was divided into some stages: 1989-1991 short-term help, 1991-1994 training and consultancy, 1994-1997 investment support, from 1998 till joining the EU integration process support. It is Poland that has got the most funds from the programme so far (21% of the PHARE budget, till 2000). For the years 2000-2006 a programme called PHARE 2 was created. Ten countries from the middle-eastern Europe benefit from the programme, also the countries that were candidates and from 1st May, 2004 are members of the EU as well as some Balkan countries. This programme had four editions: PHARE 2000, PHARE 2001, PHARE 2002, PHARE 2003 and, depend on the subject of help, appeared under different names. PHARE programme is very wide and diverse. It was evolving during its realization. Funds from many of its components helped to develop enterprise in Poland, directly and indirectly.

The essentials of the approach are: the use of graphical presentation of the results, the possibility of changing model structure by the user, and emphasis laid upon understandable and convenient man-machine dialogue. Application to the analysis of situation of a typical small enterprise in Poland is also discussed.

Worker Participation in the Management of the Enterprise in Poland

The Polish tradition of worker participation in the management of the enterprise dates back to 1918–1919. This tradition found its roots in the influence of the October Revolution in Russia, and independence activities in Poland, the councils of workers' delegates and factory committees. The task of the workers' delegates and factory committees was to organise workers, to insure the protection of their professional and living interests and to reopen and supervise factories left behind by invaders.

Location of depots in a sugar-beet distribution system

In the following case study the problem of the location of depots in a sugar-beet distribution system for a certain sugar enterprise in Poland is considered. The sugar-beet is delivered from farms to sugar-mills either directly or through some depots. Lower and upper limits on the depot throughputs are imposed. The depot investment and operating costs are estimated by a piecewiselinear function. Given a set of possible depot locations, costs associated with the depots and the unit transportation costs, we seek a minimum cost location-transportation plan determining the number, location and sizes of the depots to be opened and the amounts of the sugar-beet flows. Two solution procedures are developed: (1) The application of MPSX and MIP systems for the problem of the reduced size; (2) The heuristic method. Based upon the computational results both approaches can be treated as alternative solution techniques to the presented problem.
