Wycena trwałości – rozszerzenie tradycyjnego ujęcia kosztów środowiskowych

Author(s): Elżbieta Broniewicz,Mirosław Broniewicz,Piotr Milewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2016

Due to a deepening scarcity of natural resources and ever stricter regulations related to their acquisition, the importance of natural resources in the world economy is growing considerably. In contrast to financial and tangible assets, natural resources are not very well described and represented in the accounting systems of firms, despite the fact that their use determines significantly the development of individual companies and the economy. The authors present a way to take account in production costs of those environmental costs which affect the sustainable development of a company as measured by economic value added. They also propose to complement the traditional approach of environmental costs with accommodating the cost of natural resources.

Dobro wspólne a zrównoważony rozwój

Author(s): Konrad Prandecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2016

The concept of common good is a difficult one to define. Not only does it encompass material resources and services, but also specific relationships between people managing the common good. The overriding feature of management based on the common good principle is to ensure the durability and the most equitable access to the resource. Under this approach, the principle of profit maximization, dominant in mainstream economics, is of limited use. For this reason, economic activity aimed at on informal institutions within the framework of the New Institutional Economics and the award for Elinor Ostrom granted by the Bank of Sweden that have led to increased interest in common good and the benefits of its use. As a result, first attempts have been made to build a new economic concept - economy for the common good. Analysis of the characteristics of common good leads to the conclusion that this idea has much in common with the concept of sustainable development. More detailed studies also indicate the existence of numerous differences between these two concepts. The purpose of this paper is to identify the specific characteristics of common good, to study the relationship between common good and sustainable development, and to analyse the possibilities of using common good in implementing the concept of sustainable development. The results make it possible to conclude that sustainable development is a more complex concept than that of common good. However, the latter may be effective in implementing sustainability in selected areas. The study was prepared based on critical analysis of domestic and foreign literature, and the research process used the inductive method as a means of reaching general conclusions.

Author(s): Andrzej Sadowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2016

The paper addresses the problem of the significance of multiculturalism as a real factor behind sustainable and smart growth of Poland. Multiculturalism is an answer to the question of what the role democracy in the cultural sphere actually consists in. Generally, the impact of multiculturalism on sustainable and smart development Poland is associated with its expected influence on the formation of a new social and cultural order in society. Multiculturalism tends to promote integration of culturally diverse societies. It creates new forms of desired social cohesion as a necessary factor of economic growth and social development in conditions of a postmodern economy. It removes various forms of cultural predestination, recognises the value of minority cultures, which results in their inclusion, thus strengthening the economic power of society. Moreover, multiculturalism creates better conditions for the use of culturally diverse human, social, and cultural capital. According to the author, Poland is currently solving many dilemmas related to its possible development into a multicultural society.

Relacje paradygmatu rozwoju trwałego z kategorią jakości życia

Author(s): Marcin Łuszczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

Despite rising criticism of using GDP as a measure of social welfare, lack of an alternative method causes this purely economic indicator to remain the key parameter for assessments and international comparisons. Developing a universal methodology for measuring the quality of life is thus a serious challenge for both academics and practitioners. According to the author, the strong relationship between the new development paradigm and the quality of life stems directly from the very definition of sustainable development. Firstly, on the basis of the Brundtland Report and the Rio Declaration, it can be concluded that sustainable development is a development that provides satisfaction, fulfils needs and achieves a high quality of life in modern society without prejudice to the possibility of meeting the needs of future generations. Secondly, the idea of sustainable development based on integrated governance closely corresponds to the holistic nature of the quality of life. It can therefore be concluded that the implementation of the principles of sustainable development is synonymous with aspirations to a high quality of life and partial indicators describing sustainable development can successfully be used to gauge the quality of life.

Wybrane informacyjne problemy definiowania zrównoważonego i trwałego rozwoju

Author(s): Stanisław Czaja,Agnieszka Becla / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

Defining of the basic notions is an important problem of the modern theory of economics. What is particularly significant is the creation of a common language whose elements will be acceptable for the scientific community, useful in practice, and sufficiently precise from the cognitive and methodological points of view. This paper presents the main stages of the debate which introduced the category of 'balanced and steady development' into the Polish literature. The debate has lasted since the 1980s and was triggered by the widespread use of the English phrase 'sustainable development'. The main aspects of the disputes which accompanied the rise of the concept are also discussed, particularly those related to its semantic and cognitive dimensions. Specific informative challenges connected not only with the notion of 'balanced and steady development' itself, but also with the cognitive and implementation issues, especially as regards the quantification of this category (important from the viewpoint of collecting relevant statistical data) and the modelling of this type of development. The use of mathematical language that is prevalent in the contemporary economics poses new challenges for every such category. They concern above of all the methods and the precision of measurement, as well as more general matters associated with the nature of described relationships. From the practical point of view, the main challenges include those connected with the costs of obtaining appropriate information in the context of their credibility, currentness, completeness, and relevance, as well as the accompanying threats of redundancy and information noise.

Съвременната култура пред нови ценностни ориентири

Author(s): Nikoleta Mihaleva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2010

Contemporary culture, viewed as specific „social code”, preserving the various forms of human activity, behaviour and communication and handing them down from generation to generation, today faces serious trials. The basic values of technogenic civilization, shaped up after the New Times, are greatly modified in the culture of Modernity (the end of the XIXth and the XXth century). The confrontation of culture and civilization has led to a crisis in values, most strongly reflected in the conflict between „the two cultures”, that is in breaking the balance between the humanities and art, on the one hand, and the mathematized natural science knowledge, on the other. This loss of the „spiritual principle” (to quote A. Camus) in European culture set new landmarks for values in the time of postmodernism (the end of the XXth and the beginning of the XXIst century). We are witnessing the birth of an alternative cultural project for the future, in which the dialogue between cultures plays the role of a means for civilizational development.

W stronę dobrostanu. Działalność instytucji finansowych a nieracjonalność człowieka

Author(s): Aleksander Ostapiuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 17/2018

Nowadays, more than ever firms especially connected with financial industry declare corporate social responsibility. The article has two goals. Firstly, it shows that there is no need to introduce new ethical rules in conducting business. It is enough to follow freemarket rules which assume mutual benefits from exchange. Secondly, it is argued that firms need to look broader at the people’s welfare. In order to do this, the conception of wellbeing is presented which is much broader than the economic welfare conception. Due to the cognitive restrains people cannot achieve well-being and satisfy their “real” preferences. The author argues that firms have to be concerned about well-being to make benefits from exchange mutual. In order to achieve this, firms can nudge people into right choices which would be taken if it was not for the cognitive biases. To do this, firms can use the libertarian paternalism conception. Besides analysing this conception, the author presents reasons why libertarian paternalism could be the method which helps people to increase their well-being and have freedom.

Author(s): Mohamed Mousa,Andrew Adjah Sai,Gehad Salhin / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Objective: the present paper aims to explore the main motives behind Cairo bank’s attemptsto raise its senior bankers’ level of organizational resilience. Methodology: after gathering and investigating all relevant literature about organizational resilience, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 of the senior bankers who work at Cairo bank at 6 October city, Giza, Egypt. All interviews were conducted in the Arabic language. Findings: the findings of this study show that senior bankers at Cairo bank, like many other Egyptian classes, struggle in a state of uncertainty and consider it the main motive behindtheir bank’s attempt to raise their resilience level. The pressure of stakeholders is, to a largeextent, present, and there is a thought that fulfilling different societal obligations is a sourcefor economic gains and accordingly, stakeholders’ pressure is a second motive behind raisingemployees’ organizational resilience. Furthermore, organizational culture adaptability and thetendency to responsively act in line with unpredicted events is a third motive. Finally, seniorbankers’ loud voice in calling for continuous grants for education and training has come to bethe fourth motive. Value added: the paper is considered the first to qualitatively investigate organizationalresilience in Egypt. Recommendations: The researchers are of the view that the development of every departmentalagenda for needed resilience is a priority for improving organizational capacity. Moreover,reformulating the bank’s values, operations and activities should also be considered to createa harmony between the external threats and the internal duties. Furthermore, there shouldbe also an orientation to redefine the concept of “uncertainty” from time to time to includesocio-political and socio- economic types of risk.
