Activity of enterprises in the wood-based sector under conditions of economic uncertainty

Activity of enterprises in the wood-based sector under conditions of economic uncertainty. The state of the epidemic in Poland and the resulting restrictions caused serious disturbances in the economy. Entrepreneurs, conducting business in conditions of economic uncertainty and the threat of a crisis, are looking for various support tools, including adequate government programs. The study attempts to identify and evaluate selected anti-crisis tools, dedicated and possible to be used in the wood-based sector in Poland. The impact of these tools on economic activity was assessed by entrepreneurs, with particular emphasis on the opinions of manufacturers of wooden and cork products, producers of paper and paper products and furniture manufacturers, categorizing industry specializations in accordance with the Polish Classification of Activities. In the comparative analysis, selected economic indicators were used, based on secondary data of public statistics, according to the assessment of the current economic situation and its forecast expressed in the opinion of entrepreneurs. As a result, it was found that despite the ongoing epidemic, entrepreneurs in the wood-based sector relatively often use government support tools, showing moderate optimism under the conditions of economic uncertainty.

VITICULTURE IN POLAND IN THE LIGHT OF STATISTICAL DATA

The aim of the study was to assess the changes on the market of grape production in Poland, and an attempt to systematize data on this production coming from various statistical sources. Changes in the number of vineyards were analyzed in detail, both nationwide and provincial. The sources of data used for the calculations were the annual Polish Classification of Activities (PKD) and data from the National Center for Agricultural Support (NCAS ). The research carried out indicates that this type of production is characterized by very dynamic development. According to data from NCAS , in 2017/2018, there were 201 vineyards in Poland, which is 673.1% more than in 2009/2010. The area of viticulture increased significantly, which in the 2017/2018 marketing year was by as much as 871.1% higher.

Green jobs, a new measure of public management and sustainable development

The aim of this article is to propose a measurable definition of green jobs based on balanced, durable and sustainable development, which is an example of both the Green Economy and New Public Management (NPM) concepts. This approach is justified due to the nature of NPM, which uses the goals of management and measures of effectiveness. In this paper, the definition of green jobs is formulated as tool for measuring, based on the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD), which has roots in the classifications proposed by UN the ISIC and Eurostat NACE. Then the ease with which this tool can be used is tested by determining the efficiency of labour market institutions. Therefore, the green jobs concept can be much wider than just a qualitative description of an organisation’s strategy. In this paper it is proposed that green job characteristics based on section E of PKD is more specific and because of its quantitative approach it is a suitable measurement not only in Polish conditions, but generally.

MARKET OF THE COMPANIES ENGAGED IN BREEDING PLANTS IN POLAND

The aim of the article was to present the changes that occurred in the number of companies engaged in plant propagation in Poland in general as well as in particular voivodships in the years 2009-2016. The source of data used for calculations were the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD). Research on the location of the companies in question was also carried out in relation to the population of the voivodeships concerned. The research shows a 9.5% increase in the number of companies from the industry in the period under study. This increase was in the form of a polynomial trend. In addition, the number of companies in particular voivodships was adjusted to the clusters of consumers there, as evidenced by the low value of Florence (F) indicator.

The effect of natural disasters on the timber market

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the impact an increased wood supply from the Beskid forests after natural disasters on the timber economy of the Węgierska Górka Forest District and its surroundings in the years 2004–2010. The analysis was based on the wood raw material sales recorded in the database of the State Forestry Information System (SILP). Information on the buyers'location and their main use for the raw material were obtained through the Central Statistical Office. Furthermore, wood material buyers were classified according to the Polish Classification of Activities (PCA) based on the year 2007, using only a subjective analysis designed for enterprises and other economic units in the national economy. Changes in sales of wood material to the selected buyer groups were investigated using statistical analyses of linear trends. A Pearson's correlation analysis verified the relationships between the buyer groups and the supply of timber assortments by the Węgierska Górka Forest District. Other studies have also shown that an increased supply of raw material in the context of natural disasters affects the types of wood buyers and their location. In addition, they have shown an increase in interest towards the purchase of raw materials among buyers engaged in the wholesale trade of wood and other non-wood producers which in turn decrease the share purchased by sawmills.

Innovation Activity and Competitiveness of Manufacturing Divisions in Poland

Increasing processes of globalization and integration in the word economy, dynamic market changes and growing social demands cause that particular sections of the national economy and their divisions as well as enterprises operating in them, become more and more often participants of competitive activity. According to M. Porter getting competitive advantage is possible only by means of innovation activity, and the capacity of industry for innovation and increasing technological level decide about competitiveness of the whole economy. That is why in present-day economic researches it is so important to define relations between competitiveness and innovation activity of enterprises. The objective of the article is an attempt to describe quantitatively the impact of outlays on research and development and outlays on innovation on three selected characteristics defining competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. These characteristics are: gross value added, sold production and labour productivity. In the research were used statistical data of Central Statistical Office showing amounts of particular types of outlays divided into particular manufacturing divisions (section D, the Polish Classification of Activities) in the period 1999-2008. the analysis was conducted by means of panel models, where the basic period is calendar year, and the objects are manufacturing divisions on two-digit level of aggregation.
