Design/methodology/approach: Participants were selected purposefully. The core part of the qualitative study involved 25 individual in-depth interviews. Findings: The data indicates that leadership development is not perceived as a core business process. In most cases, certain learning interventions were withheld but not terminated or managers ordered a digital culture transition. Data shows that given the progressing change, there is a need for further reflection on whether technology-mediated leadership behaviour would not be a standard. Research limitations/implications: Qualitative research does not permit broad generalizations. Although the data collected allows indicating how leader-nurturing process owners perceive change that impacts leadership development, there is no possibility to indicate the intensity or importance of the reactions.

Moreover, these programs remain largely ineffective in tapping the optimal leadership potential of employees. Hence, this study aims to identify and describe the effects of investments in leadership development programs and to provide insight into methods for quantifying these benefits regardless of the specialization or location of a large company. Participants were selected purposefully. The core part of the qualitative study was conducting 26 individual semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the data was based on grounded theory procedures. The data indicates that while teaching the practice of leadership behavior generates a variety of benefits, these benefits can sometimes go unnoticed by managers. Meanwhile, a distinction can be made between non-leadership and leadership benefits of leadership training. Leadership benefits relate t...

Its use will be illustrated by the example of a small service company. Chapter 2 presents the characteristics of blockchain technology applications in the modern economy. Particular attention was paid to aspects such as security, staff issues and trust. Chapter 3 deals with the entrepreneurship of immigrants from the Far East. Patterns of approaches leading to strategy choices implemented by the immigrants were presented as well as processes of defining customers and factors influencing the choice between an ethnic and local business, immigrants' approaches to building market position and development. In this diverse way, the authors wanted to indicate how many factors can determine the effectiveness and ...

The research subjects are not leaders considered as flesh-and-blood human beings, but rather the images of people perceived as leaders and their impact in the process of societal sensemaking. The paper addresses the role of the process of image construction and re-construction, as it then allows the individual to define what was noticed, categorize it within interpretative schemes, and understand reality as a distinct reflection of events. The image is studied using qualitative methods and techniques. The results indicate that although the literature on image management mostly emphasizes the role of impression management, the image of a leader is determined by social expectations. Therefore, the dynamics within the environment do not simply force the maintenance of the adapted perception of organizational identity, but rather the active management and development...

It shows how different ethnic groups of immigrant entrepreneurs build relations with local communities. Not only are the differences between distinct ethnic groups introduced, but also the differences between first and second generations of immigrants, where possible, in terms of opportunity recognition, market strategies and building company developmental plans.

We propose shared leadership concept as an interpretation of business behavior of immigrant entrepreneurs. Empirically, we draw upon data from semi-structured interviews conducted with Vietnamese chosen as an interrogated society due to the fact that there are a very entrepreneurial group in comparison with other groups of immigrants in Poland. Through understanding how they lead their business, cooperate with ethnic members, or share knowledge, we explore the distributed leadership concept in terms of environmental and social terms, and business effectiveness. For the purpose of the study we use following terms: shared, distributed, or collective interchangeably. We reach the conclusion that in the described community there is no term such as “leader”. Instead of one person influencing there are multiple community members bein...

Jako że proces przedsiębiorczy i działania przedsiębiorcze postrzega się jako fundament rozwoju gospodarczego, narzędzie do eliminowania bezrobocia, natomiast przedsiębiorców pojmuje się jako decydentów w otoczeniu gospodarczych, to w części teoretycznej zaprezentowano badania eksplorujące problematykę kompetencji ważnych w przyszłości determinujących działalność gospodarczą. Celem zidentyfikowania kompetencji w zakresie przedsiębiorczości wśród polskich przedsiębiorców analizie poddano wypowiedzi na temat działań i rodzaju realizowanych przez nich zadań, które prowadzą do stworzenia przedsięwzięcia i jego rozwoju. Pracę kończy dyskusja na temat oczekiwań stawianych przez instytucje wobec osób uczestniczących w rozwoju gospodarczym a postrzeganiem problematyki kompetencji przez osoby aktywne zawodowo.

Nic zatem dziwnego, że również w badaniach biznesu studia poświęcone liderom zajmują poczesne miejsce. Istnieje szereg idei, teorii, pojęć dotyczących tego, kogo określa się liderem, w jaki sposób można nim zostać, jakie cechy, zachowania pretendują, by do grona przywódców dołączyć. Jednak w jaki sposób media kreują wizerunek lidera? W niniejszej książce podjęto próbę zrekonstruowania sposobów charakteryzowania osób postrzeganych jako liderów w świecie biznesu. Zastosowana w badaniach metoda teorii ugruntowanej, która skupia się na uchwyceniu wzorców postępowania ważnych, ale i problematycznych dla zaangażowanych w proces społeczny jednostek (Glaser 1978), pozwoliła wyodrębnić najważniejsze kategorie opisu, w tym scharakteryzować postać przywódcy, wymienić działania w organizacji uwarunkowane motywami i potrzebami zarówno wewnętrznymi, jak i tymi zgłaszanymi z zewnątrz oraz przedstawić nastawienie otoczenia wobec lidera. Projekt przyczynił się także do eksploracji tego zagadnienia poprzez zidentyfikowanie kryteriów, jakich prasa używa do opisywania ludzi uznanych za liderów przez branżę medialną, a także wskazać cechy wpływające na podnoszenie poziomu jego legitymizacji.
