“…China, the US and the EU are respectively the first-, second-and third-ranking meat producers in the world economy (Pawlonka, 2017). Poland ranks among the 10 top exporters of meat in the EU (Janiuk, Jarosiński and Ribberink, 2015). The main EU producers and processors of meat are Germany, France and Spain.…”

The aim of this paper was to recognize the scale and types of the food adulteration practices associated with meat and meat products from Poland. The vulnerability of food supply chains to fraud/adulteration is growing as a result of globalisation, which is expanding the scope and scale of the incidence of food fraud/adulteration. Both the intentional and unintentional adulteration of food can lead to a public health threat, and cause severe economic consequences. Meat and meat products are the most common targets for adulteration in Poland and the EU. Since meat and meat products hold a key position in food production and consumption in Poland, it is in both the industry's and government's interests to eliminate adulteration in the meat supply chain. The methodological approach was to first review the literature to define and outline the challenge of food adulteration, and then to build a database on the basis of IJHARS decisions regarding adulterated meat and meat products, and to analyse them in detail. An analysis of the data revealed that most cases infringed Article 7.1(a) of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers concerning fair information practices.

“…The domestic market has also experienced significant expansion. We may attribute this exceptional growth to the strategic work of Polish entrepreneurs, who transformed from local artisans or importers into efficient leaders of international companies (Bielecka, 2014; Janiuk, Ribberink, & Jarosinski, 2017; Jarosinski & Janiuk, 2020; Grzegorzewska & Stasiak-Betlejewska, 2022).…”

PurposeThis article aims to analyze the strategic work of Polish entrepreneurs in the furniture industry following the political changes in 1989. The authors examined how these entrepreneurs transitioned from local craftsmen or importers into leaders of international manufacturing companies and how their strategizing contributed to the unprecedented growth of the Polish furniture sector.Design/methodology/approachThe authors examined extant data, specifically biographical interviews conducted with 11 prominent leaders in the Polish furniture industry (Hryniewicki, 2015, 2018). They analyzed within a theoretical framework that integrates J.C. Spender’s theory of strategic management with Barry Johnson’s concept of polarity management. Polarity is a way of understanding and managing interdependent, opposing pairs of values or perspectives that give rise to conflict.FindingsThe analysis reveals key patterns of strategic challenges at the level of human agency, history and sense-making. The authors identified four key polarities: life and business, knowledge presence and absence, concordance and discordance, and instrumental and non-instrumental sense-making.Originality/valueThe polarity concept illuminates the interplay of agency and determinism in strategic decision-making, offering valuable insights for methodology and a deeper understanding of Poland’s furniture industry.
