The field experiment aimed to identify the role of the biological agent while substituting the synthetic plant fertilization and protection.\u0000Methodology: The system dynamics method was applied to the data provided from one planting season of field experiments conducted in the framework of the PotatoMETABiome project. From eleven tested varieties on six different scenario plots, the most economically viable variety – Pasja Pomorska – was tested. The comparative approach was applied to show the results of inoculating potato plants with biological agents and using synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.\u0000Results: The results show that the application of biocontrol agents increases the quality and quantity of the potato yield compared to a variant in which no synthetic agents are used. These are, however, higher while applying the latter. It can therefore be argued that the microbiological agent could support ecological potato production, yet it does not reach the economic break-even point yet.\u0000Conclusions: Bearing in mind the limitations resulting from the experimental nature of field research, the level of economic profitability of innovative biological preparations and the importance of their use in agriculture have been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83716211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system, being constantly subject to changes and reforms, sometimes uncoordinated or without follow-up, in certain cases contains contradictory or unclear provisions that do not provide accurate decisions on certain transactions or situations. Changes in tax law provisions and enforcement regulations have recently resulted in unintentional errors by Albanian taxpayers, which are reflected in most cases in small businesses or rural households. The situation is more complicated in rural areas since only 10-12% of the total number of farms are equipped with a Tax Identification Number(NIPT). The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of changing tax rates on the personal income of farmers.\u0000Methodology: To carry out this study, the descriptive study research method was used, and primary data were collected through 100 interviews with farmers, and also secondary data were statistically performed as well as analysed with the aim of making conclusions.\u0000Results: Findings show that the new income tax rate has changed many times in a decade, and this change has not positively helped farmers.\u0000Conclusions: Tax rates have changed irregularly and without a well-studied long-term policy. This must be improved quickly so as not to discourage farmers from following through with their activityand business in Albania.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"209 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79563444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative survey was conducted from 2018 to 2021 in the form of a questionnaire distributed via email, the website www.webankieta.pl, and delivered in person in paper form. A survey was conducted on people in managerial positions (54%) where men were the majority of those polled (71%). The surveyed population was chosen based on their professional experience as managers and members of the board in the state-owned enterprises.\u0000Results: On a sample of 100 respondents, it was observed that, provided the supervisory board is committed to their duties and consists of qualified personnel, the supervisory board contributes to the improvement or good functioning of the company, and often even its development.\u0000Conclusions: The main conclusion that has been formulated is confirmation of the legitimacy of introducing legal changes aimed at increasing the effectiveness of supervision, especially in the advisory and information areas, which are of key importance in the correct diagnosis of the company’s situation and in the proper shaping of the development strategy.Due to the confidentiality that members of supervisory and management boards are subjected to, it is very difficult to obtain from them the precise answers necessary to study the functioning of supervisory boards and management boards.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87380144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Global Economic Policy Uncertainty Index was also used to show if the COVID-19 pandemic increased economic uncertainty.\u0000Results: The results show that in the analyzed period, an increase in the value of farmers’ bank deposits and a drop in farmers’ bank loans were observed. An increase in the value of farmers’ bank deposits occurred when interest rates were extremely low, so it can be stated that the growth of the value of farmers’ bank deposits resulted from economic uncertainty, and not from the rising profitability of deposits. At the same time, the value of farmers’ bank loans decreased, but it is difficult to indicate if this is an effect of the tightening of banks’ loan policies or of the farmers’ aversion to risk.\u0000Conclusions: The research concerning economic entities’ loan and deposit activity is a very important subject because of the increasing role of uncertainty nowadays. What is observed is that the value of farmers’ bank loans dropped but it is difficult to state for sure if this was caused by economic uncertainty and therefore reduced capital needs of farms or by the reduction of banks’ credit activity and negative credit decisions.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72777493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes can be planned or unplanned, the need for their implementation can arise spontaneously. The aim of making changes in the organization is dissatisfaction with the existing state of affairs, indicators of its activity. Most changes are planned by the organization, some changes are carried out urgently, and some can be delayed. A crisis is an important indicator that always determines the need for changes. Changes caused by the crisis conditions of business operation need to be implemented as soon as possible. Postponing the implementation of changes in crisis conditions for a significant period of time negatively affects the indicators of the organization's activity and operational processes.

Results: The results show that in terms of purchasing chicken meat online, the majority of Indonesian consumers have shifted to online purchasing due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Young people, people with adequate income, the level of education, and gender have an impact on the frequency of purchasing chicken meat online. Conclusions: Most consumers shifted to purchasing chicken meat online during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in terms of sociodemographic factors, male consumers and young people are more concerned about the delivery procedure. The research provides evidence that Indonesian consumers shifted to the online purchasing of chicken meat during the COVID-19 pandemic, which means consumers adapted to the new situation.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86528379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodology: Measuring the local development requires the use of several variables due to its multidimensional character. The Hellwig development measure was used, which is one of methods of multidimensional analysis. The LAU-2 administrative units were ranked according to the level of socio-economic development. The research period covers the years 2004–2020, i.e. from the year of Poland’s accession to the European Union until the end of the previous financial perspective. The variables used in the study concerned the main spheres of local development: demography, social activity, labour market, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and local finance. Results: Rankings constructed for 3 periods – 2004, 2012 and 2020 – made it possible to observe the improvement in the level of development of municipalities surrounding the main city of the Wielkopolskie voivodeship, Poznań, whereas municipalities located peripherally in the eastern part of the voivodeship were characterised by a low or very low socio-economic development level. Conclusions:A positive impact of the city on the surrounding rural area can be noticed, complementing its functions by locating enterprises in areas with lower rents and taxes as well as settling people commuting to the city every day to work. On the other hand, peripheral municipalities were characterised by some undiscovered or unexploited development potential, including tourist attractions.","PeriodicalId":34287,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Oeconomia","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79201284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
