- Summary/Abstract:This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of Poland’s economic environment through the lens of global indices, including the KOF Globalisation Index, Legatum Prosperity Index, and Index of Economic Freedom. The aim of the study is to identify key factors influencing Poland’s position in the global economic environment and to define actions supporting enterprises in building competitive advantage in the context of globalization processes, economic freedom and market openness. The study explores the multifaceted dynamics of Poland’s integration into globalisation processes, emphasising economic, social, and political dimensions. Over the past two decades, Poland has achieved significant advancements in areas such as trade liberalisation, infrastructure development, and market accessibility, which have contributed to its increasing openness and connectivity on the global stage. The chapter highlights key areas of concern, such as regulatory inefficiencies and the declining financial globalisation index, which pose challenges to sustaining the country’s economic growth. These obstacles underscore the importance of institutional reforms and enhanced policy frameworks to address persistent bottlenecks and foster long-term resilience. The chapter synthesises data from multiple global rankings to deliver an integrated evaluation of Poland’s economic landscape. This multidimensional approach not only allows for a nuanced understanding of the country’s strengths and weaknesses but also identifies areas where targeted interventions can significantly improve outcomes. One of the chapter’s central contributions lies in linking these findings to enterprise activity in Poland. By demonstrating how globalisation trends shape the national business environment, the analysis provides actionable insights into the country’s competitiveness within the European Union. Recommendations focus on aligning economic policies to strength enenterprise activity, improve regulatory efficiency, and support sustainable development. The originality of this research is reflected in its synthesis of global indices, offering a unique perspective on Poland’s economic trajectory and its implications for future growth. This evaluation serves as a foundation for policy-makers and academics seeking to understand and enhance Poland’s role in the international economic arena.

- Summary/Abstract:This chapter examines the effects of two significant crises of the 21st century: the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, on business operations. Both events presented unpredictable challenges that disrupted the global economy, affecting supply chains, commodity prices, resource availability and market stability. The pandemic introduced numerous restrictions, including lockdowns, mandatory remote work and sanitary restrictions, which forced changes in business models and operational strategies. In turn, the war in Ukraine deepened these problems, causing inflation, rising energy prices and further trade disruptions. It can be emphasised that these crises had a synergistic impact on companies, leading to the need to quickly adapt business models, reduce operational risk and implement strategies that would limit the negative effects of these events. The pandemic and the war have emphasised the importance of flexibility, innovation and adaptability as key factors for survival ina turbulent economic environment. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the adaptive measures undertaken by enterprises in the face of these crises and to identify effective adaptive and operational strategies that enable businesses to build resilience and sustain operations during periods of crisis. The methodology is based on a literature review and case studies illustrating diverse approaches that companies adopt to address complex challenges. The findings indicate a wide range of actions taken by companies, such as accelerating digitalisation, developing e-commerce, implementing flexible working, optimising costs and diversifying supply sources. The concepts of reshoring, nearshoring and friendshoring have become popular and have increased the stability of supply chains. The pandemic became a catalyst for organisational transformation, including the implementation of new technologies and more flexible operating models. The war in Ukraine forced companies to quickly seek new markets, suppliers and strategies, improving their resilience to future crises. The originality of the chapter lies in the comprehensive approach to examining the synergistic impact of two global crises on the operational activities of enterprises. It is emphasised that despite the negative effects, both crises accelerated transformations in management and created the foundations for lasting changes in the operations of enterprises.

- Summary/Abstract:Generational changes in the labour market are a key factor shaping human resources management strategies in modern enterprises. This phenomenon, resulting from demographic, technological and social differences, requires modern solutions in the face of changing needs and values of employees from different generations. In Poland, as in the rest of the world, the sechallenges are intensified by the aging of society, progressive automation and the dynamic development of digital technologies. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the impact of generational transformations on the labour market and to define strategies that support effective management of generational diversity within the workforce. The chapter focuses on examining the characteristics of four generations (Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z), their attitudes toward work, values, and expectations from employers. The research methodology involves comparative analyses incorporating demographic data, social research, and case studies. The findings highlight the importance of understanding generational differences for fostering employee engagement and minimising team conflicts. Baby Boomers value stability and loyalty, Generation X emphasises independence and clear goals, while Millennials and Generation Z prioritise flexibility, technology, and work-life balance. The chapter emphasises the importance of adapting management strategies to these diverse needs, which can enhance innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness of companies. The chapter’s originality lies in its comprehensive view of generational diversity, considering demographic challenges alongside technological and social factors. Identified strategies—such as promoting flexible work models, developing digital competencies, and creating tailored career paths—help organisations adapt to future labour market changes. The originality of the chapter lies in its comprehensive view of generational diversity, taking into account demographic challenges together with technological and social factors. The strategies identified, such as promoting flexible working models, developing digital competencies and creating tailored career paths, help organisations adapt to future changes in the labour market. The findings offer valuable insights for employers, enabling effective management in increasingly diverse work environments while strengthening organisational resilience and long-term sustainability.

- Summary/Abstract:This chapter explores the impact of socio-cultural determinants on business development in a dynamically evolving environment. The background to the analysis is the diversity of communities, traditions and changing norms and values shaped by globalisation, technological developments and social media. The author argues that market success depends on the ability to adapt operations to diverse stakeholders, their preferences, expectations, and socio-cultural contexts. The chapter aims to identify socio-cultural factors influencing business operations and develop strategies enabling companies to adapt effectively to changing social and economic realities. The research methodology includes literature analysis, case studies, and a review of statistical data on diversity, inclusion, migration, and technological transformation. The findings indicate that workplace diversity fosters innovation, efficiency, and a positive organisational image but requires skilful management of conflicts arising from cultural and generational differences. Social media and consumer awareness play pivotal roles in shaping business relationships and marketing strategies, promoting greater transparency and social engagement. Migration, as a global phenomenon, affects local labour markets, offering opportunities through new talent while posing challenges related to integration. The originality of this chapter lies in its holistic approach to analysing the impact of socio-cultural factors on business development, addressing diversity and inclusion, the dynamics of social media, growing societal awareness, and the effects of migration and technology on business activities. The author emphasises the importance of adaptive strategies that not only drive market success but also contribute to positive societal change.

- Summary/Abstract:The survival and development of an enterprise are measured not only by the profits achieved but also by its solvency. Key factors that pose a threat to an enterprise’s ability to continue its operations may arise from internal decisions made within the organization or external circumstances over which the enterprise has limited or no influence.The purpose of this chapter is to discuss legal instruments aimed at supporting business entities at risk of insolvency. This chapter presents both extrajudicial and judicial instruments for resolving a debtor’s financial crisis. Extrajudicial proceedings include a number of activities that can help the company regain financial stability and avoid legal proceedings. The advantages include lower costs and a shorter time to solve the problem. In addition, in the case of extrajudicial solutions, entrepreneurs have more control over the company and they are the ones who make decisions regarding its operations. It is also important that extrajudicial solutions are usually more discreet and can help protect the company’s reputation. On the other hand, the disadvantages of extrajudicial proceedings include the lack of a formal framework and legal security, which can lead to misunderstandings or the lack of effective enforcement of the agreed terms. In addition, the lack of a clearly defined procedure canlead to ambiguity and a chaotic course of the process of improving the company’s financialsituation, which in turn can result in a lack of expected results. Further considerations focuson the restructuring process as an effective tool enabling enterprises to overcome financial crises. Restructuring facilitates the renegotiation of obligations, cost reductions, and improved liquidity, often in collaboration with creditors. This approach allows businesses to regain stability, avoid bankruptcy, and enhance their prospects for continued operation. The concluding section of the chapter is dedicated to bankruptcy, understood as a finallegal remedy. This formal process protects creditors’ interests by enabling them to recover atleast a portion of their claims through the liquidation of the debtor’s assets.
