Author(s): Agnieszka Niezgoda / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Procesy konkurencji w układach regionalnych i lokalnych zmuszają do poszukiwania rozwiązań wynikających z przyjęcia zasad i reguł zapewniających większe powodzenie w osiąganiu celów rozwojowych jednostek przestrzennych. Jednym z najważniejszych celów w takim ujęciu jest dobrobyt społeczności zamieszkującej miasto. Kategorią uwzględniającą stopień satysfakcji pewnej grupy obywateli (np. mieszkańców gminy, miasta czy regionu) z całokształtu egzystencji jest jakość życia. Jej poziom zależy m.in. od działalności gospodarczej miasta i związanych z nią efektów ekonomicznych. Jedną z funkcji gospodarczych miasta może być turystyka. Jednak zależności pomiędzy procesem podnoszenia jakości życia a rozwojem turystyki mają charakter bardziej złożony. Przyczynia się do tego złożoność produktu turystycznego danego obszaru oraz rola mieszkańców w jego kształtowaniu.

Ekspansja usług dostarczanych cyfrowo w globalnym handlu

Author(s): Ewa Mińska-Struzik / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The chapter presents the concept, essence and types of digitally deliverable services (DDS), the category extracted from the broader group – digital trade – which, in addition to DDS, includes goods and services ordered electronically but delivered in a traditional manner (cross-border e-commerce) and trade in digital content embodied in a tangible product. As the name suggests, DDS can be delivered electronically (like ICT services, sales and marketing services, financial services, professional services, and education and training services). In the trade of these services, geographical distance and other determinants shaping trade flows in goods and traditional services have become less and less important. Based on the review of reports and data provided by UNCTAD, WTO and OECD, the author uses stylised facts to illustrate the phenomenon and discuss its determinants and consequences across different types of economies. The analysis reveals that at both – the macro- and micro-levels, on the supply and demand side of DDS, a variety of challenges and barriers can be identified. Their multifaceted, careful examination becomes necessary to understand the phenomenon and propose appropriate solutions for both those creating and offering digital services, consumers, and policymakers responsible for regulations leading to the full exploitation of the growth potential of the digital transformation of the service sector.
