Fragmentation and the value-added structure of exports in Polish industry
(2015) Posłuszny, Krzysztof
The accession to the European Union contributed to an increase in Poland’s foreign trade, and the growing export market is coupled with an increasing importance of intermediate imports, which is necessary to produce goods of appropriate quality and price. This phenomenon is a part of the process of fragmentation in global value chains. Fragmentation of the value chains should manifest themselves, in particular, in a multi-phase manufacturing process that requires many components of different types. In this paper, the recently available OECD database of the Trade in Value Added (TiVA) has been used to assess changes in the composition of gross exports of Poland and other Central Europe countries. In Poland, practically all sectors show a growing share of the imported value added. The cases analyzed confirm the thesis that the high technology sectors foster fragmentation. In the case of technologically lessadvanced sectors and short-value chains, benefits of fragmentation are limited. The progressing fragmentation and, as a consequence, a growing share of the imported value added made the gross export value (which is commonly used in statistics) of little use for the analysis of the economic role and competitive position of sectors. However, thanks to new projects based on I-O matrices of the global economy, it is possible to decompose gross exports into respective domestic and foreign value-added streams.

Konkurencyjność międzynarodowa jako miara skuteczności restrukturyzacji przemysłu
(2011) Posłuszny, Krzysztof
W artykule wykorzystano koncepcję konkurencyjności międzynarodowej do oceny skuteczności procesów restrukturyzacji przemysłu. Konkurencyjność może być analizowana na poziomie przedsiębiorstwa, sektora lub gospodarki. Jako miary konkurencyjności międzynarodowej użyto wskaźnika ujawnionych przewag komparatywnych Balassy. Przedstawiono zmiany tego wskaźnika dla sektora paliw i sektora chemicznego w Polsce. Przebieg zmian wskazuje na niepełną skuteczność procesów restrukturyzacji krajowego przemysłu.

TAFISA and UNESCO joint effort for building cultural capital through traditional sports. An analysis of The 5th World Sport for All Games
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2014) Bronikowska, Małgorzata; Prabucki, Bartosz
The aim of this article is to emphasize and acknowledge traditional sports as an important historical and sociocultural phenomenon. By describing »the traditional sports and games movement« from its organization to some key ideas, the authors show how local and national heritage of physical culture is important to every society. Within the current process of globalization, which touches on not only economic and political domains but also cultural and ethnic ones, people need to be aware of their heritage and identity. Various forms of our own, indigenous physical activity are part of this identity. In this article, the authors show the general background to the current situation of traditional sports in a globalized world, which is the socio-cultural context in which they exist, by describing some examples of these kinds of sports and initiatives all over the w orld. Afterwards, the focus will turn to a particular event - The 5$^{th}$ World Sport for All Games - during which traditional sports and games are played and promoted, showing the existence of this kind of sport as a potentially efficient tool in promoting cultural exchange and preserving heritage in the contemporary world.
