SPATIAL DIVERSITY OF THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF RURAL COMMUNES FOR ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the spatial diversity of rural communes in Poland from the point of view of their attractiveness for enterprise development. Empirical analyses were preceded with a comprehensive literature review and a study of available diagnostic tools. Based on their earlier experience, the authors decided to apply the conception of the synthetic measure of attractiveness for the purpose of an empirical study conducted with reference to time and space. The source material was selected information regarding rural communes in Poland, obtained from the Central Statistical Office (GUS), Local Data Bank. Empirical verification was based on the synthetic indexes of entrepreneurship (uiP) and rural commune attractiveness uiA. They were constructed using the non-model measure method, which is the arithmetical mean of normalized features. The results are presented in tables and on maps. Research results clearly indicate that the number of economic entities in rural communes has systematically been growing from year to year. A positive, statistically significant correlation of moderate power was found between the indicators. Also, a positive correlation (statistically significant and of moderate power) was found between commune attractiveness and the spatial distribution of the number of economic entities. Moreover, based on the regression model, it was ascertained that the number of economic entities is most strongly determined by factors such as migration balance, housing conditions and the percentage of budget expenditure on investment

A framework to measure the taxonomic of economic anchor: A case study of the Three Seas Initiative countries.

This research is aimed at determining the characteristics of the current level of entrepreneurial potential of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) countries, the ability to overcome the consequences of extraordinary events, such as COVID-19 and prospects for the return to an accelerated development once the destabiliser of the economic system, the coronavirus pandemic, has ceased. Eurostat, World Bank and the World Economic Forum data for 2015-2019 were used for the purpose of the research. The research was divided into three stages, i.e. assessment of economic development on the basis of a synthetic ratio of economic anchor development, for which a relative benchmark method based on spatial median (so-called L1 median or Weber point) was used, identification of conditions for the development of entrepreneurial capacity and statistical analysis showing the correlation between economic anchor measures and selected factors of the 3SI countries economic development. Our study found that the entrepreneurial capacity of the 3SI countries in 2015-2019 was determined by nine characteristics, belonging to six areas, i.e. local economy, demographic situation, social situation, trade exchange, innovation and tourism economy. The entrepreneurial potential of the 3SI countries was spatially diversified, and its development was determined, among others, by the entrepreneurial activity of residents (entrepreneurship index) and the conditions for running a business

The impact of professional traineeship on the students’ perception of their knowledge and future work in the agribusiness sector

The paper presents the results of research on the impact of paid professional traineeships done by students during their studies on the perception of knowledge they have gained, as well as on agribusiness as their work environment and their further professional career. The aim of the research was to evaluate paid traineeships as a factor determining the way in which the knowledge gained by students during studies and their future work are perceived. The research material included the results obtained in a study of students conducted twice – before and after they had completed their professional traineeships. The research tool was the auditorium questionnaire, and the collected data underwent a statistical analysis, followed by a discussion. It was found that the respondents appreciated work placements as a way of gaining experience during studies. At the same time, the results of the investigation indicate that in the students’ opinion, graduating from a good university guarantees finding an interesting job. This was additionally confirmed by disagreeing with the statement that gaining good grades in the course of university studies does not bring any benefits (as indicated by the gamma correlation coefficient). Thus, completing a traineeship is significant for a future professional career, as it allows the students to look at it more realistically, including the financial aspect. However, their expectations, both before and after the work placement, remained relatively high, compared to the actual earnings reported in the University Graduates’ Economic Future monitoring system (ELA)

POSTRZEGANIE KARIERY ZAWODOWEJ W AGROBIZNESIE PRZEZ STUDENTÓW UNIWERSYTETU PRZYRODNICZEGO W POZNANIU – STUDIUM PRZYPADKU

Zaprezentowano wyniki badań nad wpływem wybranych czynników na postrzeganie agrobiznesu jako miejsca pracy i realizacji kariery zawodowej. Przyjęto, że wpływ taki mają wykształcenie (ukończony poziom studiów) oraz płeć. Zgromadzone z użyciem ankiety audytoryjnej dane faktograficzne poddano analizie statystycznej. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że w opinii studentów idealna praca powinna być zgodna z ich zainteresowaniami, oferować stabilne warunki zatrudnienia, dawać poczucie dumy z jej wykonywania, a także gwarantować wysokie zarobki i jednocześnie odbywać się w przyjaznej atmosferze. Natomiast za niepożądane cechy pracy studenci uznali: nieregularność czasu pracy, wymóg mobilności, tj. cechy związane z dużą liczbą i wysokim tempem wykonywania obowiązków. Na podstawie badań stwierdzono także, że praca na stanowisku przedstawiciela handlowego w agrobiznesie, chociaż daje możliwości rozwoju, nie stanowi atrakcyjnej oferty zatrudnienia dla większości badanych
