Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise

Volume in Honour of Professor Marta Gibińska

By: Agnieszka Pokojska,Agnieszka Romanowska

This book is a collection of articles written for Professor Marta Gibińska by her colleagues and friends, from universities both in Poland and abroad. The texts presented in this volume cover a wide spectrum of topics. Part I, devoted to Shakespeare, comprises wide-ranging work from renowned specialists in the field: studies on historical background, sources, theatrical, screen and literary reception, as well as translation. Part II contains articles which deal with multiple authors, genres and perspectives, but are uniformly passionate and insightful. The title Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise, a poetic phrase borrowed from Shakespeare, conveys what seems to be a defining quality of both the contributors to this volume and its recipient: namely, the ability to translate keen appreciation of literature not into speechless awe but eloquent praise, combined with the generosity to share it with others.

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

A European Perspective

By: Anna Brzozowska,Wojciech Dyduch,Aleksander Pabian,Agnieszka Dziedzic

The growing importance of projects in organizations, combined with difficulties in their implementation, is accompanied by the need for professional knowledge in the field of project management. It results from the complexity of project management problems and the difficulty of knowledge that must be applied. However, surprisingly little is known about this topic, especially in the context of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A European Perspective attempts to fill this specific research gap. The book analyses the process of managing projects being implemented by small and medium-sized firms from Europe, identifies organizational processes, and verifies which elements of these processes require improvement. It concentrates on issues around the multifaceted characteristics of project management, with particular emphasis on the process of managing European small and medium enterprises. The book is the result of many years of empirical research and consists of two main parts: A systematization of concepts, terminology, and thus knowledge in the field of project management, with particular emphasis on the phases of planning, organizing, as well as leading and controlling in the project, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy. A systematization of concepts, terminology, and thus knowledge in the field of project management, with particular emphasis on the phases of planning, organizing, as well as leading and controlling in the project, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy Verification and development of such model procedures in the management of projects so that the SME enterprises’ functioning will be efficient and effective. There is a close relationship between the two parts. The theoretical part is the foundation on which practical considerations are later carried out. Integrating theoretical and practical issues, the book introduces new content to the literature and has the practical value of indicating how to manage projects in SMEs in the European Union. It also examines the decision-making processes related to project management in these organizations.

Coping With Dynamic Business Environments

New Management Approaches for Resilience During Difficult Economies

By: Agnieszka Stachowiak

This book discusses the existing management approaches for dealing with changes, namely readiness, maturity, and resilience. Although these concepts have been discussed for several years now, their importance grows when companies must deal with extended changes in economies. The changes are of a different nature: social, technological, and political, and they strongly impact every aspect of economies and companies’ activity. Is it possible to be ready for the changes? Should companies be resilient to disruption? These are the questions the managers are trying to answer, yet they need some support from academics. This book explores the synergy between the state-of-the-art knowledge and experience of companies to create a Contemporary Management Model. The scope of this book covers the methodology with an introduction and discussion of the key ideas and concludes with a presentation of the Contemporary Management Model followed by the practical validation and verification of the model based on case studies. This book is simply about developing the readiness and resilience of resources and processes, especially from a tactical perspective.

Ambidextrous Strategy

Antecedents, Strategic Choices, and Performance

By: Agnieszka Zakrzewska-Bielawska

Strategies of enterprises evolve with the development of strategic management theory and new concepts, models, and outlooks that emerge with it. The concept of ambidexterity is a relatively new approach to business development strategies, which involves simultaneous exploration and exploitation activities to ensure the success of the company and a relatively sustainable competitive advantage. This begs the question as to whether the ambidextrous strategy is the right choice for all enterprises, and if not, what determines its choice. This book identifies and systematizes antecedents for choosing ambidextrous strategy, including factors related to the uncertainty of the environment, its dynamics, complexity, and unpredictability, intra-organizational factors, those related to resources, organizational structure, and behavioral context, as well as those related to strategic leadership. It examines the outcomes of implementing ambidexterity from the perspective of financial and market performance and assesses the choices of companies operating in Poland from the perspective of the impact that particular antecedents had and the outcomes achieved, providing knowledge and guidance on the circumstances in which choosing the ambidextrous strategy brings the best results. The book presents the research findings to date, the cognitive gaps that still exist, and the directions for further research. It is intended for scientific circles, doctoral and management students and a wide range of managers, who have to make difficult strategic choices aimed, on the one hand, at increasing the efficiency of the company and, on the other, at seeking new paths of growth.

Organizational Reliability

Human Resources, Information Technology and Management

By: Katarzyna Tworek,Agnieszka Bieńkowska,Anna Zabłocka-Kluczka

It develops a definition and theoretical internal structure of the notion of organizational reliability as well as a theoretical background describing the structure of its three pillars, and it showcases a set of organizational solutions dedicated for the enhancement of organizational reliability. The book explores the idea that there are new capabilities needed in every organization: reliability capabilities aiming at enhancing and sustaining the reliability of entire organizations and reliability of management, information technology and human resources. The reliability capabilities are understood as the abilities to anticipate and explore potential and occurring hazards, prevent and resolve disruptions, and learn from the problems in order to maintain a proper organizational performance in both normal and abnormal situations. Based on these three pillars, the book concerns the issue of various organizational solutions in order to indicate a set of them, which supports obtaining and maintaining organizational reliability. The book is recommended reading for researchers, academics and students in the fields of management, and entrepreneurs trying to boost the reliability of their organizations.

Thinking Literature

Essays on Reading Literary Classics Today

By: Agnieszka Romanowska,Anna Kwiatek,Marcelina Polczyńska,Wiktoria Wawrzyńczyk

Inspired by Mary Shelley's conviction that reading is a socially significant communal activity, this book presents four essays on modern interactions with literary classics. Ancient tragedy, Shakespeare, and Frankenstein are read anew in the context of challenges and dangers we are facing nowadays. The titular phrase, thinking literature, is meant to indicate reading literature of the previous epochs in a way that allows one to contemplate human condition against the background of the past and in connection with the present. The essays on Ahmed Saadawi's Frankenstein in Baghdad, Kamila Shamsie's Home Fire, Margaret Atwood's Hag-Seed, and modern reactions to suicide in Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, testify to the lasting relevance of ancient Greek tragedy, Shakespeare's plays and Mary Shalley's cautionary tale. Thinking literature by revisiting canonical texts and sharing with others the experience this brings, helps us to define, understand and confront the social and political challenges of today's increasingly complex world.
