Faced with the persisting phenomena of software and data content piracy Industry and legislators are actively engaged in resolving this alleged plague of the modern technological era powered by the digital computing and communications.

Our position stated in this paper is that software piracy plays major positive role in the cyber space revolution and in particular in the evolution of e-commerce, namely, e-commerce applied to illegal trading of software may have some legal and positive attributes, i.e., parameters, which we address here. We introduce novel classification of the e-commerce participants and expand the definition of the e-market to the market that covers legal as well as illegal sales transactions where some illegal transaction may have overall positive effects on the profit line of the original software developers, producers and vendors.

FROM HEALTHCARE MANAGER'S COMPETENCIES TO HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION'S COMPETENCES

Author(s): Agnieszka Krawczyk-Sołtys / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

Competency identification systems need to identify both – personal (mostly managerial/leadership) competencies and organizational competences. This article is focused on identification the common competencies of healthcare managers significantly shaping core competences of such organizations. There are many models of healthcare managerial competencies – three of them are presented in this article. First is Competency Task Force (The Healthcare Leadership Alliance approach), second – Competency Directory Model (The Global Consortium for Healthcare Management Professionalization approach) and third - NCHL Competency Model (created by The National Center for Healthcare Leadership). In author’s opinion managerial competencies distinguished in these models can significantly shape healthcare organizations competences. There are no universal rules about evaluation criteria for identifying core competences in health organizations because each subject has its own characteristic. Even so building core competences in healthcare organizations can be understood as: creating and supporting an organizational culture that emphasizes continuous learning, providing effective skill development programs with regular updating to include the latest technology and producing incentives for continuous skill development and for acceptance of change. Focusing on core competences, an healthcare organization views today’s output supposed to be concerned with recruiting, developing, deploying and organizing around skills, capabilities and competences. The healthcare leadership’s role is three-fold: first – developing the organization’s strategic architecture or overall planning for building the eligible competences, second – allocating talent to various use or applications, and third – leveraging competences by stretching them across multiple medical services applications. The latter may be achieved through decision-making about competency accumulation, concentration, combination, conservation, reuse and recovery. The turbulent and changing nature of the environment suggests that healthcare organizations competences cannot remain static. They must be continually evolving and developing. Therefore, healthcare organizations have to continue to invest in and upgrade their competences to create new strategic growth alternatives which requires technological and skill accumulation over time (i.e., organizational learning). Healthcare organizations with core competences are able to partially shape the environments (i.e. creating new opportunities) in which they operate and compete and that’s why they are better able to achieve desired outcomes.

Organizational culture and organizational commitment

Author(s): Hakan Çora / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Organizational culture is the total of symbols and mythologies that convey the principal values of an organization to its employees. The culture of organizations develops over time, allowing the employees to interact with the opportunities and threats of the environment. To effectively maintain the organizational activities, organizations should be aware of the organizational culture they have. Organizational commitment has a determinant part in the success of corporations. Employees with high job satisfaction adopt the corporation of which they are a part,associate their goals and objectives with those of the corporation, and consider the success of the company as theirs. The main reason of this is that the the concept of productivity is directly connected with effort (human). Technological advancements and new production techniques cannot be considered independently from the element of effort. As long as the organizations don’t receive enough efficiency from their employees, other production elements will be meaningless.

Ustalanie Optymalnych Stóp Procentowych Od Depozytów I Kredytów W Bankach Spółdzielczych

Author(s): Tomasz Siudek,Aldona Zawojska / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

This paper tries to solve theoretically the problem of interest rate determination by a co-operative bank in the absence of preferential treatment of its members (owners) against non-members in terms of charged interest rates. The optimisation model considers bank’s borrower-, depositor- and neutral-oriented policy as well as purely commercial (profit-oriented) approach. Obtained results indicate that the optimal rates on loans and deposits at a co-operative bank depend mainly on its preference. They are also influenced by market interest rates and bank’s balance sheet and income statement elements. The paper contributes to an increased understanding of behaviour of co-operative bank as social economy organisation and adds to the models of optimal interest rates setting in co-operative financial institutions.

Not only is the term „space” has many meanings, but also the concepts directly linked to it, and has a lot of connotations. The space is both abstract idea,a property of matter, the environment created in a certain way in the course of evolution, there is finally a product of human anthropocentric, cultural and social (Jałowiecki, Szczepański 2009: 314).

Public sector management as a development problem in the countries of Southeast Europe

Author(s): Mimo Drašković,Milica Delibašić,Veselin Drašković,Mladen Ivić,Drago Pupavac / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

In the period of nearly three decades of post-socialist transition in the countries of Southeastern Europe (SEE), there were numerous synergistic, destructive and anti-developmental hindering institutional factors that directly caused the creation of social and economic insecurity. Many developmental problems, as well as social, economic and institutional deformations, have generated a lasting and deep crisis. This paper analyzes the basic deformations of public sector management, which has emerged as a driving force for all development problems in the SEE countries. It starts with two assumptions: first, weak and slow institutional changes were deliberately programmed by the nomenclature of government, in order to eliminate institutional competition and affirmation of the quasi-institutional monism of neoliberal type, which have enabled the substitutive development of the so-called alternative institutions; and second, highly interest-oriented motives of the government nomenclature have been the main cause of ignoring rational recommendations by representatives of non-institutional economic theories.
