The paper is concerned with utilization of creativity in the management and its importance for the management of the company. It represents the results of the use and impact of creativity in the management of a selected company. These results are subsequently generalized and through cluster analysis were used to identify the factors influencing employees' creativity.
The aim of an economy study carried out on an information system is the proportion of those costs that are essential to the continued operation of it, and at the same time the items purchased for these sums are not available from other sources or replacing them would result in the complete change of the whole system. Examining these elements during the procedure of choosing the appropriate system can provide useful information.
The subject of the study is the presentation and analysis of manager’s role as the key person in the business organization. Beginning with defining the term “manager”, the author present the particular typologies of managerial roles, that takes into consideration different criteria. In the paper points out the conditions of managerial roles and probably the most important the leader’s role.
Business processes are object of process approach to management based on enterprise search and analysis from the view of business activities and activities performed by managing staff. The paper deals with issue of measurement of internal processes in a production company which is the socend part of process management. The attention is paid to methodology of process measurement and indicators for process measurement.
Human-mediated invasions of organisms are causing great harm to the environment, indigenous species, national economies, and human health. Notwithstanding Elton’s (1958) prophecies, only by the mid 1980s did the negative impact of several introduced species become clear, along with the urgency to reduce the pace of bioinvasions. Often conservation biologists are faced with the Nero dilemma. Should they keep “fiddling” with their elegant experiments while biota are burning, or rather act, even before achieving a “strong verification” of their hypotheses? Indeed, we do need a comprehensive scientific understanding of the biological features, ecological effects, and spread potential of invasive species in order to be able to improve our strategies for mitigating their impacts. Abundant data have been collected during the past two decades on a growing number of case studies. The theories on bioinvasions derived from that wealth of knowledge have indeed revealed their predictive power. We should now strive towards a quick transfer of this knowledge from the laboratories to the “real world”.
Riparian zones are well known for their inherent ecological properties related to biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, and catchment management. The international MAB/UNESCO programme which was running between 1988 and 1998 was related to the land/water ecotones, mainly riparian zones. This article, inspired by this programme – seeks to highlight the role of riparian processes on biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity under different climatic conditions. Their role is investigated by focusing on: i) the lateral ecotone between land and water systems, ii) their longitudinal corridor structure and, iii) the drywet cycles. This information is then used to suggest the value of riparian zones in landscape management. We emphasize the key roles of the ecotonal structure, longitudinal connectivity and timing of the occurrence of wet-dry cycles for riparian zones to process nitrate fluxes and to maintain high levels of biodiversity at the landscape scale. In the context of the worldwide transformations of flow regimes, the deterioration of water quality and loss of biodiversity, restoring riparian zones is both a key objective and a formidable challenge that implies envisioning the consequences of management actions on the long term, considering entire river basins, and paying attention to other environmental, regional and global changes.
The sources for the given subject research were preliminary organisational structures and systems of tax administrations that are currently in place in Slovakia as well as in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. The basic presumption of the research is the increase of the system effectiveness en bloc. Based on the trends analysis we assume, that the upcoming reform of the Tax and Customs Administrations shall contribute significantly to the increase of the system effectiveness and at the same time bring along the improvement in positive perceiving of taxes, seen by public as socially unpopular obligations.
Nowadays overwhelming majority of biotechnical objects in agriculture, such as poultry houses, greenhouses etc., function under the mode of stabilization of technological parameters (air temperature, humidity etc.). This approach leads to excess consumption of energy resources (electrical energy, natural gas). Intelligent control based on using different strategies (not only stabilization), prediction and consideration of natural disturbances on biotechnical objects, physiological features of biological objects (poultry, plants etc.) allows to reduce energy consumption. The paper presents specific knowledge concerning promising areas of control systems of biotechnical objects, methodological bases for specialized algorithmic-mathematical software construction based on the methods of game theory and statistical solutions, neural networks (including genetic algorithm), filtering the noise components of information signals.
The article described possibilities of social capital usage in the management functions of the agricultural enterprise. In the article there is demonstrated a layout of cybernetics model of social capital. In this model, social capital is a component of feedback information canal for management of agricultural enterprise. Mapping sources of social capital of the enterprise could suggest a specifics social power in the symbolic social space and in the cyber space too. Mapping of linkages of social capital in the social networks of the agricultural enterprise offers a perspective opportunity to more effectiveness of manager's decision-making.
A materials management company provides a comprehensive system for ensuring the procurement of inputs into the production process, efficient movement, handling and storage of material input into the company through transition to production to distribution of finished products to customers. Materials management also involves the important activities of preparation for production and standardization, while the correct choice of the material for a product, real norms of consumption, efficient standard and quality of material already begins at the stage of preparing production conditions of technically correct and economically efficient supply.
This contribution is about improving efficiency of the production processes using the SIPOC method in process maps. Practical use of this method in improving process performance is shown by presenting a specific example of the manufacturing process of photovoltaic panels.
The article discusses the problem of excessive growth of one-year filamentous algae, contributing to the disturbance of ecological balance in the Puck Bay. The aim of the study is to estimate the possibility of restoring this balance through the use of macroalgae as a co-substrate for biogas and fertilizer production in the regional biological wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Effectiveness of biogas production from aquatic plants, including free-floating filamentous algae, was examined. Tests have shown that the biogas potential of seaweed constitutes the level of 162 m3/Mg of organic dry solid substances of algae. It was estimated that using the summer intense algal growth, removing 65,000 Mg of algae, 800,000 m3 of biogas can be obtained from the area covering the inner Puck Bay. After biogas conversion, 2,320 MWh of electricity and 2,100 MWh of heat energy could be produced. Harvesting free-floating algae enables the annual removal of 100-150 Mg of phosphorus and 200-400 Mg of nitrogen from Puck Bay and, thus, reduces the level of its eutrophication. Macroalgae management at a certain stage of growth also prevents the presence of algae on beaches and contributes to the improvement of fishing conditions and boosts the tourism value of the region.
