Czy e-demokracja i rozwiązania znane ze świata biznesu są właściwymi kierunkami zmian politycznych w Polsce?
Are E‑Democracy and Solutions Known from the Business World the Right Directions for Political Changes in Poland?

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to propose changes to the current democratic system in Poland, based on business solutions and e-democracy, improving its functioning. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem was to consider whether the implementation of e-democracy and solutions known from the world of business can contribute to the reduction of selected problems and more efficient exercise of democratic power, as well as increase its quality? The basic method was both the analysis of public opinion polls on various aspects of the Polish democracy system and a review of the literature on concepts and scientific theories related to the study of democratic systems. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The first part presents the results of public opinion surveys on democracy and its individual areas of operation. The second section presents concepts and scientific theories related to the study of democratic systems and its mechanisms. The third section presents selected problems of democracy in Poland and proposals for their changes. RESEARCH RESULTS: The crisis of confidence in the current model of democracy results from a mismatch between its form and development challenges. Implementation of both the concept of e-democracy proposed by the European Parliament and solutions known from the business world reduces selected problems and contributes to increasing the efficiency of democracy. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Despite the huge number of publications in the literature and press devoted to democracy, the main focus was either on the assessment of the current state of the system or its elements, or scientific theories related to a given area of democracy. Occasionally, ad hoc proposals for change were indicated, but in this case, they were mostly, without a deeper and broad view of the entire democratic system. This paper overcomes the above limitations by combining an assessment of current perceptions of democracy with both academic theory and solutions to economic practice, which at the same time form the basis of proposals for systemic solutions to improve the efficiency of democracy.
