Podstawy naukowe teorii modeli biznesowych : wybrane aspekty

W ostatnich dwóch dekadach odnotowano w literaturze dotyczącej zarządzania znaczący wzrost zainteresowania teorią modeli biznesowych, jak również szeroko zakrojonej dyskusji na temat definicji modelu biznesowego. Te badania i dyskusje budziły wątpliwości dotyczące naukowego charakteru modeli biznesowych. Kwestia naukowych podstaw modeli biznesowych została w tym artykule poddana analizie i ocenie, z wykorzystaniem Metodologii Tradycji Badań Naukowych (MTBN) zaproponowanej przez Larrego Laudana. Uzyskany tą drogą rezultat potwierdził, że teoria modeli biznesowych, która jest tworzona w oparciu o fundamenty naukowe zarządzania mieści się w zakresie MTBN.During the last two decades, the literature in management studies has shown a significant increase in interest in the theory of business models, and there has been wide-ranging discussion about the definitions of those models. These studies and discussions have provoked questions about the scientific nature of business models. The question is analysed here by using the methodology of the Scientific Research Tradition (ScRT) proposed by Larry Laudan. The result confirmed that the theory of business models that is created and defined based on management sciences falls under the scope of ScRT

Schyłek metafory. Rzecz o księdze Natury

The book of nature expressed both the possibility of knowing/reading of nature and the relationship between the experimental science and other books, mainly the book of Revelation. However, the role and significance of the metaphor changed with the development of natural science, and now the book of nature seems to obscure other books, and, moreover, its reading became the model of reading in general. Actually this metaphor is not a living metaphor any more, as it does not create, but closes and eclipses. Hence the need to look for a new one. This story is told here on the basis of Teodor Parnicki’s prose, who was a very careful observer and connoisseur of history of ideas, and of history as a mode of literature.The book of nature expressed both the possibility of knowing/reading of nature and the relationship between the experimental science and other books, mainly the book of Revelation.

Głos w sprawie sekularyzacji Wisława Szymborska o Bogu, Sekularyzacji i Duszy

This essay endavours to re-examine selected poems of Wisława Szymborska, aiming to elucidate her perspective on secularization. Concurrently, the themes of the soul and the question of God will be addressed, forming a tripartite framework that constitutes the narrative of secularization.Il saggio è un tentativo di rileggere alcune poesie di Wisława Szymborska cercando di delineare il suo parere in merito alla secolarizzazione. Contestualmente viene affrontato il tema dell’anima e la questione di Dio, che assieme costituiscono i tre capitoli del racconto della secolarizzazione.Esej jest próbą czytania niektórych poezji Wisławy Szmyborskiej w poszukiwaniu jej punktu widzenia na kwestię sekularyzacji. Wraz z sekularyzacją podejmowane jest zagadnienie duszy i kwestia Boga. Tematy te stanowią trzy rozdziały narracji poświęconej sekularyzacji

Matematyka jako narzędzie analizy literackiej : zmierzyć szczęście - przyczynek do definicji szczęścia w ujęciu Stanisława Lema

Szczęście i jego uwarunkowania są przedmiotem badań naukowych już od czasów Arystotelesa. Temat jest podejmowany z różnym powodzeniem w wielu dziedzinach nauki. Głównym problemem badawczym jest w niniejszym studium określenie definicji szczęścia, która dałaby możliwość sformułowania modelu matematycznego, umożliwiając w ten sposób zmierzenie poziomu szczęścia. W tym celu dokonano przeglądu literatury dotyczącej definicji szczęścia. Jednak w propozycji Stanisława Lema zidentyfikowano sformułowanie definicyjne pozwalające na osiągnięcie zamierzonego celu. Stanisław Lem w swoich futurystycznych pracach nie tylko podał precyzyjną definicję szczęścia, ale także zaproponował stosowną jednostkę jej pomiaru. Na tej podstawie został sformułowany model matematyczny, który opisuje poziomy szczęścia z ilościowego punktu widzenia, z zastosowaniem jednostki jego miary włącznie.Background: Happiness and its determinants have been the subject of scientific inquiries as early as in the works of Aristotle. It has appeared in many fields of science. For example, in economics, Frank Knight indicated happiness as one of the three main factors of business success (1921). Nowadays, positive psychology also deals with success. Happiness is therefore an important success factor, not only in business, but also in the real life, career, and development of every human being (Brickman et al. 2016; Seligman 2005). Aim: The main research problem, as a case study, was to identify a definition of happiness, which would provide the opportunity to formulate a mathematical model, thus making it possible to measure levels of happiness. Materials and methods: Literature reviews on the definition of happiness were conducted to achieve the main aim. They resulted in identifying the proposals of Stanisław Lem, who in his futuristic works not only offers a definition of happiness but also describes a unit of its measurement and provides a recipe for it. This became the basis for designing a computer simulation of the definition of happiness as a kind of human experience. Results: A newly designed mathematical model was formulated that describes levels of happiness from a quantitative point of view, including a unit of its measurement. Conclusion: The designed mathematical model is complete and is the first example of the implementation of the definition of happiness described in literature. It is also the first step in the mathematical approach to happiness becoming the most important factor of human work, development, and success

Measure Happiness – A Contribution To Stanislaw Lem\u27s Definition Of Happiness. Part 2: Limits Of Approach

In the fable Kobyszczę, Stanisław Lem proposes a definition of Happiness that allows for the formulation of a mathematical model describing the intensity level of Happiness, which can be experienced by humans in different situations. Completing, correcting, and contextualization of the existing model are the main issues addressed in this article. The proposed mathematical model is not about the same Happiness experienced by different individuals. It is about the measure of intensity level of Happiness, which is experienced by an individual in many situations. That is why the proposed model describes Happiness in a new area of research located in digital humanities, where AI can be used to continue future work. The issue related to model reflects on the possibility of translating complex issues, e.g. philosophical ones, into the language of science specifically mathematics. The definitional procedure and the contextualization of the issues of good and evil and Happiness proposed by Lem in the fable Kobyszczę flow from his conception of the art of writing as the art of translating literary, philosophical, or theological issues into the language of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or computer science, thus contributing to the trend of considerations in the field of digital humanities and developing by use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Consequently, an analysis of the narrative structure of the fairytale will identify the limits of applying this kind of approach to the question of translatability. Issues linking Kobyszczę to some of the matters being discussed in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) will also be identified.In the fable Kobyszczę, Stanisław Lem proposes a definition of Happiness that allows for the formulation of a mathematical model describing the intensity level of Happiness, which can be experienced by humans in different situations.

Galileuszowe ćwiczenia z retoryki i dialektyki - ćwiczenie drugie: Swada o księdze

The Assayer of Galileo Galilei is a classical text of the Italian literature. It was written in the context of discussions on comets and is a response, word by word, to the Libra astronomica ac philosophica signed by Lotario Sarsi but in fact written by Orazio Grassi. From the formal (i.e. rhetorical) point of view the Assayer is an example of the judicial, defensive speech. However, in the book one can also see the presence of the epideictic speech. The epideictic speech praises the methodological values of the Copernican vision of the universe, and blames those involved in the Aristotelian and Ptolemaic approaches. In the sixth section of the Assayer there is a famous group of four rhetorical periods in which one can notice the presence of the new interpretation of the antique metaphor of the book. The rhetorical exercise developed in this essay tries to disentangle the complex node of this metaphor and gives its new interpretation. It seems that for Galileo the metaphor is not a trope but passes to the topica. At the end some considerations on dialectics of Galileo are also proposed
