“…The emergence of such barriers is particularly noticeable in SMEs, which is the result of all organizational difficulties resulting from the lack of proper (or poorly developed) systemic management. Small and medium-sized enterprises management is particularly difficult, and this is due to a review of the world literature on various management problems (Mueller-Using et al, 2020;Niciejewska et al, 2021;Żywiołek et al, 2021). First of all, difficulties in management result from relations between employees, awareness of responsibility and positioning the organization structure based on employee competences.…”

Information management and information flow is an important element in the strategy of developing and running a company. The need to supervise information makes it necessary to implement numerous innovations that improve the method of information management correlated with the proper reception, selection and analysis - in both external and internal information flow. This paper presents the results of research that allowed for the assessment of barriers that arise during the implementation of innovative solutions in small and medium-sized enterprises (service MSEs). On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the mental barrier is not always crucial from the point of view of modern technologies implementation. And the determination to implement information management innovations may be forced by the necessity of the document exchange acceleration. The success of innovative solutions e.g. in the financial services industry (in SMEs) is closely related to the technological capabilities of the enterprise - the technological barrier is crucial in this type of enterprises. Especially, taking into account the assumption that employees are highly motivated to implement new products.

“…Knowledge about the existence of hazards and their sources and severities is necessary to perform analyses in enterprises for the purpose of assessment of occupational risk, for morbidity and accident rate, for employee training or for work optimization (Niciejewska et al 2021;Qiu et al 2021;Shekarian et al 2021;Klimecka-Tatar and Matevž, 2020;Niciejewska and Obrecht 2020;Dzeng et al 2016;Kariuki and Löwe 2007;Gajdowska and Ramiącek 2019;Szopa 2004). Therefore, the analysis of occupational hazards in any work process, and in particular in mining, should provide information on a wide range of diversity in order to take effective and comprehensive actions to reduce occupational risks, and not only be a fulfillment of legal requirements (Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 ;Swuste 2008;Labor Code of 26 June 1974).…”

Analyses and assessments of hazards occurring in work processes are carried out by teams, in which there is usually one representative of the personnel, as the embodiment of the active participation of employees in the assessment of occupational risks. This is why the article presents research on all employees’ knowledge and awareness about risks in their work environment. The research was carried out in the form of an employee survey in one of the open-pit mines, at workstations dealing with the loading and transporting of excavated material. The survey included a list of 40 hazards divided into four groups: (1) hazards related to machines and equipment used, (2) hazards related to exposure, (3) hazards with an impact extending beyond the workstation and (4) hazards of an ergonomic nuisance nature, where employees were required to indicate which hazards apply to their workplaces and determine their level of significance, probability of occurrence and the scale of possible effects. In this way, a hierarchical identification of threats occurring at the analyzed workplaces was made, and the obtained results were used to determine the amount of occupational risk both for specific workstations and for the whole technological process. The measures of the magnitude of occupational risk obtained using the proposed method have showed that, according to the respondents, greatest risks at the workstation are associated with moving machines and vehicles and with mobile equipment. Equally important risks, which were often mentioned by employees, were those directly related to their health, i.e., related to ergonomic nuisance and exposure. Threats resulting from geological and mining conditions, considered typical for mining, were important for the surveyed miners but they were not the most important owing to proper prevention, good organization of work and high safety culture The active involvement of the crew in the process of assessing occupational hazards allowed to identify the significance of each hazard, in the opinion of the personnel working at various places and to use this ranking for determining occupational risk levels in the mining company concerned. The research has also outlined another goal to be achieved: a comparison of the relative significance of hazards identified by the employees and of the hazards listed in occupational risk assessment matrices used by mines.

“…Quality has become the basis of management in every enterprise. Sales volume, profit and customer satisfaction depend on the quality of products and services (Holota et al, 2019;Kardas et al, 2017;Niciejewska et al, 2021;Pietraszek et al, 2020;Porubcinova et al, 2020;Dulska et al, 2021). The attention should be also paid to the concept of e-commerce quality related to online shopping and everything that happens on this topic on the Internet (Ingaldi and Ulewicz, 2019).…”

Nowadays, many customers start looking for their dream product or service by reading reviews published about them on the Internet. The universal process of digitization and easy access to the Internet allowed for the development of this type of information source. The problem is how to classify this phenomenon, whether the reviews published on the Internet are free advertising for a given enterprise or rather a threat related to the negative attitude of customers. The aim of this paper is to analyze the respondents’ approach to publishing reviews on the products and services they purchased. The author wanted to check whether the respondents had will to share their reviews with other Internet users, why they wrote such reviews, if they wrote more often positive or negative reviews. A short online survey, which was published in the period January 2021 - June 2021, was used as a source of information. The respondents were people using both traditional shops and e-shops who wanted to share their experience in writing reviews on the Internet.
