Mobility of the Workforce and Its Influence on Innovativeness (Comparative Analysis of the United States and Poland)

Abstract

The article describes a comparative analysis of the mobility of the workforce in the United and Poland. The collected data includes permanent relocation as well as temporary travel abroad. Data also includes the reasons being taken under consideration while relocating. The paper also discusses the phenomenon of innovative people cloistering together and creating innovative cities. The article also addresses the influences of mobility of the workforce on innovative and entrepreneurial behavior. A comparison has been made between the innovativeness in the most innovative cities in the United States and Poland. This comparison also includes the percentage of people with higher education in the most innovative cities in the United States and Poland. The percentage of the immigrant population in the most innovative cities in the United States in comparison to the national average has also been provided. Since there is no accurate data related to the number of immigrants in the most innovative cities in Poland, a comparison between the United States and Poland was not possible.

The Mechanism of Forming the Strategic Potential of an Enterprise in a Circular Economy

“…Research on the formation of a circular economy has been conducted by many scientists [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. From the point of view of the implementation of the circular economy, the innovative potential of enterprises is also significant [30][31][32]. The analysis of the results of research on the circular economy allowed us to determine the lack of a unified approach to the formation of interactions between the circular and ecological economies, which determined the relevance and practical significance of the chosen field of research.…”

Heat and Power System as an Independent Source of Electric Power. Case Study

“…Involvement in the project allowed the students to cross-reference and apply theoretical knowledge gained in courses previously taken [6,7]. Students were highly motivated while establishing professional contacts and building up their resumes [8]. The team of students suggested the combined heat and power system as method of correcting the problem.…”

The use of Computer Simulation Techniques in Production Management

“…The developed predictive models are components [32] that should be built into the quality management system [33,34], taking into account various scenarios of events, including failures [35][36][37][38]. Of course, the successful implementation of such systems depends hugely on technical culture [39] and social attitudes of workers [40].…”
