For this new investment programme to succeed, a solid network of European Digital Innovation Hubs will be set up. In each European region there will be at least one European Digital Innovation Hub. The network will be built upon a wide variety of programmes to stimulate the creation and capacity building of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs), in particular with the assistance of the European Regional Development Funds and the Horizon 2020 programme. Coordination and Support Actions (e.g. I4MS, Smart Anything Everywhere, etc.), Interreg projects (KETGATE, S34Growth), initiatives under macro-regional strategies and the S3 thematic partnerships are experimenting with Digital Innovation Hubs’ collaborations across Europe. This project focused on the creation of Digital Innovation Hubs’ capacity in the new EU Member States. The rationale for the project was to address the disproportion in the number of DIHs and maturity levels represented by DIHs between the EU13 and the EU15. The nature of the actions undertaken were twofold: 1. a training and mentoring programme focused only on DIHs from the EU13 2. an in-depth study of policy support measures for creating and supporting DIHs in the EU15 and a comparison with best practice in policy support measures in the EU13. To enable the identification, assessment and recommendation to DIHs, a specific methodology was developed for Digital Innovation Hubs. This logical model helps in understanding basic elements involved in the functioning of DIHs and in their potential interactions. This model is based on inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes. The training and mentoring programme constituted the major part of the project. It combined different elements and methods to enhance DIHs’ experience and maximise the impact of the programme curriculum. The training resources were grouped into eight knowledge areas, each relating to a package of in-country training and mentoring, and aligned to the specific requirements of a section of the final business plan to be developed by each DIH. The trainings were delivered using digital channels and webinars and were followed up with live question and answer sessions. Another key element of the programme was the support offered by dedicated mentors. The primary role of the mentor was to deliver 1:1 training, discussing elements of the training packages that their individual learner required support in, and helping the hub in the completion of the set exercises and templates. The mentors were responsible for ensuring each DIH had the necessary grounding in the training topics taught, to be able to complete the exercises. The programme also offered a peer-learning component, which promoted the exchange and sharing of knowledge, experience and practices among the selected DIHs. It was particularly important for DIHs in the early stage of development to learn from DIHs, which have already gained significant results. Several online best practice exchange sessions and face-to-face networking meetings were organised, which exposed DIHs to key stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem.

Asta Raupelienė ISSN 1822-3230 / eISSN 2345-0916 eISBN 978-609-449-128-3 Article DOI: http://doi.org/10.15544/RD.2017.161 APPLICATION OF SYNTHETIC TAXONOMIC MEASURE TMAI FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE SELECTED FOOD INDUSTRY COMPANIES LISTED ON THE WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE IN THE YEARS 2013 – 2016 Monika ZIELIŃSKA-SITKIEWICZ, Faculty of Applied Informatics and Mathematics, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Ul. Nowoursynowska 166, 02-787 Warsaw, Poland, [email protected] (corresponding author) Mariola CHRZANOWSKA, Faculty of Applied Informatics and Mathematics, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Ul. Nowoursynowska 166, 02-787 Warsaw, Poland, [email protected] The food sector is one of the most important and fastest growing branches of the Polish economy. It employs almost 15% of all employees employed in the industry. Polish manufacturers are characterised by high competitiveness both in the EU and in the world. The macroeconomic environment in recent years has been relatively stable for the development of the food industry production in Poland, but the dynamics of agricultural-food products has experienced a slight slowdown. There were also fluctuations in profitability ratios in the sector, which may have been somewhat alarming for the investors. The article attempted to evaluate the investment attractiveness of 24 joint stock companies in the food sector, representing various industries, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The Taxonomic Measure of the Attractiveness of Investments (TMAI) and the company rankings were created for the years 2013 – 2016. The results showed that the Wawel and Astarta companies were at the top of the rankings in the studied years, representing the confectionery and the sugar sector, and the Żywiec company from the beer industry.

  • Balanced Scorecard for Selected Confectionery Companies Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in Poland
    ECONOMICS DOI: 10.22616/rrd.25.2019.056 BALANCED SCORECARD FOR SELECTED CONFECTIONERY COMPANIES LISTED ON THE WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE IN POLAND Elżbieta Jaworska, Bożena Nadolna West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin, Poland [email protected] Abstract Business managers report the need for modern methods to improve the implementation of organizational strategies. Translating the strategy into activities and monitoring its implementation poses a serious challenge for the management of modern enterprises. The article aims to present proposals for multidimensional performance measurement with the help of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) for selected Polish listed companies in the confectionery industry. The authors’ original solution within the framework of the BSC construction is extending the range of perspectives for assessing performance compared to the card proposed by Kaplan and Norton by the perspective of suppliers and CSR, and the appropriate selection of measures for this assessment. The article is based on literature studies and analysis of information included in business strategies, financial statements and reports on the operations of selected confectionery companies. Research on the use of multidimensional performance measurement using BSC, taking into account the additional perspectives of suppliers and CSR, help to better understand the relationship between economic, social, and environmental aspects of a company’s operations. Key words: Balanced Scorecard, performance measurement, strategy, CSR, confectionery industry companies. Introduction reviewed the previous BSC implementations in terms The condition for effective management of each of challenges (difficulties) and opportunities resulting enterprise is obtaining multidimensional information from the practical application of strategic financial about the effects of its operations.

Risk Aspect Abstract. Despite a wide range of research on the agricultural market conducted so far, relatively little attention has been devoted to a comprehensive analysis of linear and non-linear causality in relation to the entire agri-food sector in Poland, in the context of risk. The objective of this study is therefore to analyze the linear and non-linear relationships between shares of WSE's agri-food industry sectors in terms of risk. The study covered three sectors of agri-food sector currently existing on the WSE (29 listed companies): Foods (21 listed companies), Agricultural Production and Fisheries (5 listed companies) and Food and Foodstuffs and fast-trafficking foodstuffs (3 listed companies). The existence of linear relationships was verified using the test procedure proposed by Hong, Liu, Wang and Łęt, while non-linear relationships were verified using the Diks-Panchenko, Orzeszko and Osińska tests’s. The study was carried out on the basis of data from companies of the agri-food industry listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the period from 1 May 2010 to 1 May 2017.
