(2014) Cupiał, Brygida Beata; Sobolewska-Poniedziałek, Ewa
Demographic trends in developed countries require focus on the problem of aging populations. These trends are directly related to structural changes within the economy. Modifications of economic models imply a need for the creation of a new regional development concept. An example of such a concept is the silver-economy strategy implemented at the regional level. This article attempts to identify the existing potential and the main barriers to the introduction of the silver-economy concept in the region. Investigations will be carried out by a case study of Lubusz Province.
Interests of territorial self-governments in shaping local development on the example of tourism economy in Poland - selected aspects
(2014) Grabowska, Aleksandra; Krakowiak-Drzewiecka, Monika
Communes in Poland are entities that act on market, have defined resources at their disposal, are independent, which is legally guaranteed, and are also responsible for their decisions. Moreover, they compete with each other for various forms of capital. Their effectiveness in management and rationality of undertaken actions are essential as they can reach a specific (desired) market position. In this paper, the assumption was made that relationships of entities interested in activities of commune can have a diversified nature (not necessarily favorable from the point of view of their goals and interests), and the power of their influence may significantly facilitate or impede management in a commune and thereby influence the effectiveness of its activity. In the present conditions of commune functioning, the ability to recognize the interests of particular entities related by market relationships with the commune may guarantee and, in the case of a lack of this ability, may limit the accomplishment of interests of a commune as a collective. The reflections presented in this paper include broadly understood interests of local self-governments. This area is multi-dimensional and poorly recognized, which inspires us to make an attempt to create the system of notions. This attempt has been undertaken in further part of the paper. This constitutes an introduction to direct studies on the problems of interests of local self-government on the example of tourism economics.
The effect of location on the distribution of withdrawals from selected ATMs of the „Euronet” network
(2014) Gurgul, Henryk; Suder, Marcin
Information about the distribution of withdrawals is very essential for ATM networks. It supports optimization of the replenishment process for ATMs. The conducted research showed that the daily distribution of withdrawals was similar among the examined ATMs owned by the Euronet company. Location was the main factor in determining empirical distribution on the same days of the week. Logistic distribution fit best to withdrawals from ATMs located in shopping centers, bank branches, shops, and supermarkets. In addition, uniform distribution was found to be the best alternative for withdrawals from ATMs operating at petrol stations.
