Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the figure of the managing director of the Dnieper Metallurgical Combine, Ignacy Jasiukowicz. The company was founded in the Ukrainian Dnieper Region in the 1980s with funds from European investors. The plant operated so efficiently that it became a textbook example of a successful industrial project, and Ignacy Jasiukowicz became an example of a ‘real entrepreneur’ (the prototype of future top managers). To unravel the secret of Jasiukowicz’s success, the article examines why Ukrainian lands were attractive to foreign investors in the second half of the nineteenth century. The development of Jasiukowicz as a talented technological engineer is also analysed. Technological, personnel, socio-cultural and spiritual aspects of the Dnipro plant and the Kamianske industrial settlement are shown.
