In contextual evolution of the global economy and new technologies, quality, competitiveness, and cost engage companies to focus on continuous improvement and innovation. This approach is highly visible in the bearing industry, due to the emergence and improvement of existing and new types of bearings.The authors of the paper are engaged in a long-term research, which aims to improve the performance of heavy bearings, including identification of new constructive solution. The study is focused on the characteristics and constructive structure of the bearings cages in discussion.In this context, it is logical that the research focuses upon known bearings cages that are currently used [1], as well as unknown or unapplied constructive solutions which are the subject of patents.The critical analysis of various constructive cage solutions for bearings, intended or not for heavy bearings, is a valuable source of inspiration and information towards identification of constructive elements and characteristics useful to develop new technical solutions, by applying integrations, combinations, innovations and development processes [2].In the presented paper several patents are analyzed critically [3, 4, 5], in terms of constructive solutions, manufacturing complexity and presumptive operational energy consumption.

Hierarchy Process

Abstract The majority of Czech managers are aware that the long-term competitiveness of the company depends primarily on the use of innovative technical solutions and investments in new technologies. Despite awareness of the importance of innovation, many companies do not know how to manage, implement, and evaluate them. Empirical research showed that most innovation firms implement, but do not systematically manage the implementation of innovative projects and the allocation of funds. There is a contradiction between companies’ ability to orientate themselves in the approaches available in the area of innovation management and the existence of a large number of approaches that can be used to address a particular type of innovation problem. A set of innovation concepts has been created to solve those challenges. Practical steps of the decision-making mechanism for selecting innovation concepts have been proposed. The decision-making mechanism is based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and serves primarily for managers of medium and large enterprises.

As the world's consumption of non-renewable fuels continues to grow, so do the associated problems. Coal, gas and nuclear are all on the rise with each presenting significant environmental problems. The fossil fuels contribute to global warming through CO2 emissions as well as polluting the environment through particulates and waste products. Nuclear energy, whilst cleaner, still produces significant and long-term dangerous waste products. In addition, the raw materials are finite and will be exhausted sometime this century. The battle to develop effective clean alternatives is one of the key fights that will come to define the 21st century. The process will require considerable innovation and greater effort by business and state to improve the situation. Many researchers are working towards a myriad of different solutions that, together, could form the basis for re-gearing the global economy towards the use of renewable and sustainable resources and fuels. One such alternative is the fuel cell and variations of this. A fuel cell harnesses the energy released when hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water to produce electricity. Its inputs are cheap and readily available whilst its outputs are completely clean. In order to effectively assimilate new technologies such as these, it is necessary to consider how this technology can be applied and integrated into modern life. Doing so will allow new technologies to be adopted and employed far quicker after development. Two researchers from Setsunan University, Japan are working together to make cheap and renewable fuel cells that can be integrated directly into new, green architecture.

This chapter examines the elements of the new Web 2.0 technology base and reviews the lessons learned when implementing these technologies. Collaborative applications have made enormous inroads into the enterprise and bring unprecedented speed and transparency to communications. Researchers and practitioners alike are focusing on how collaborative applications can replace the one-way communications inherent to Intranet sites. This chapter is intended for individuals who are looking toward the possibility of integrating these new technologies into the core communication medium. Unfortunately, there are still large barriers such as politics, turf battles, integration, and poor usability with the current product set. A company’s ability to manage information effectively over its life cycle, including sensing, collecting, organizing, processing, and maintaining information, is crucial to the long term success in a global economy. The success or failure of this integration may very well create or lose a competitive advantage for the enterprise. What is missing is a framework or roadmap in which organizations can plan out their execution of We 2.0 deployment.

This paper reports on the first phase of ongoing research into ‘enablers' of continuous improvement (CI) within new product development (NPD) processes. In order to increase the relevance of work carried out during the second phase of the project, which involves implementing enablers in two firms, a wider group of practitioners was consulted to discover which aspects of CI within NPD were of most interest to their organizations and to identify their weaknesses in this area. Data from seven companies show that major deficiencies in all the firms are the absence of a strategic approach to the development of CI, and the failure to capture, share and deploy learning that is taking place. These shortcomings are particularly significant for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can ill afford to keep ‘reinventing the wheel’ or to risk wasting resources by failing to create a CI system that is sustainable in the long term.

In this article, Susan Weinstein and Anna West embark on a critical analysis of the maturing field of youth spoken word poetry (YSW). Through a blend of firsthand experience, analysis of YSW-related films and television, and interview data from six years of research, the authors identify specific dynamics that challenge young poets as they participate in YSW-related activities. Participants discuss the risks of being overly identified with the subject matter of the poems they perform, the tendency of some YSW communities to create a “star” system among youth poets, and the implications of the intensified public gaze trained on youth poets by growing media attention to YSW. Weinstein and West argue that risks and tensions are intrinsic to the nature of a deeply social youth arts context but that the field's long-term sustenance depends on all participants' willingness to have honest, ongoing discussions about such challenges.

The issues of remote access by law enforcement authorities to data in remote IT systems are extremely difficult and controversial. The literature stresses that such activities threaten the right to privacy of the parties involved in the proceedings and the right to a fair trial. However, on the other hand, the dynamic development of new technologies and the need to combat cybercrime effectively require that law enforcement and judicial authorities make use of adequate legal and technical solutions. One such a solution may be a remote search of an IT system, which exists in many European countries, including Belgium, Romania and Germany. In the case of Poland, a search of an IT system as a procedural activity is only allowed in respect of a system in which the person concerned is a dispatcher or user. The Polish legislator has not implemented procedural provisions enabling remote searches via the Internet. In case of the necessity of a system remote search, it will be necessary to conduct a parallel search. Another way of obtaining remote access to data and IT systems may be new methods of covert surveillance, which have been introduced into the Police Act. The new regulations generate a lot of interest among Polish police officers, but at the same time they provoke a lot of discussion. The diversity of the existing approach leads to the development of a uniform interpretation of the introduced regulations, which has been adopted as the subject of this study.

The development processes taking place in agriculture and rural areas have a causal relationship with time and the socio-economic space to which they belong. The subject of this discussion is an attempt to systematize some achievements of science relating to the above mentioned areas through the prism of the theory of location of economic activity in agriculture, welfare economics and neoclassical models of growth and conver-gence, and models of agricultural development worldwide, with an indication of the rela-tionship between the industrial agriculture, space and sustainable development. It is also an attempt to present the relationship: the farming - the rural areas - the environment, in the context of an active agricultural policy and spatial policy.

Distribution Of Wealth

The large, professionally managed corporation is the distinctive economic institution of the twentieth century. It has proved uniquely effective in mobilizing resources and knowledge; increasing productivity; and creating new technologies, products, and services. Corporations have proliferated and grown because they meet the needs of various members of society: customers, workers and communities, as well as investors. The worldwide spread of corporate activity has produced an increasingly integrated and interdependent global economy.The success of the corporation, however, inevitably gives rise to questions and criticisms. Corporations are spontaneous and voluntary associations in which diverse individuals and interests collaborate for the creation and distribution of wealth. Some critics question whether organizations with the vast scale and scope of contemporary multinationals can be effectively controlled and directed toward these purposes. Others are concerned about the limited range of interests directly represented in corporate governance, and the lack of openness in corporate decision-making. And, as multinational corporations expand their activities and linkages, both corporate managers and their critics search for principles for action that transcend national borders and cultural values, and modes of operation that will achieve the broad purposes of the corporation on a long-term and sustainable basis, without undue conflict with diverse human and social norms.

The article considers the active development and significant impact of digital technologies on people’s lives, functioning of enterprises in various sectors of the economy and government agencies. The level of digital competitiveness is different, which determines the importance of studying and adapting the experience of countries - digital leaders with a developed and rapidly growing digital economy of China. There has been given analysis of the main indicators of the development of China’s digital economy over the period 2018-2020, which showed high growth rates of the digital economy - more than 25%, an increase in the share of the digital economy in GDP by almost 6 p.p. There have been defined the policies, in which China is the undisputed world leader: e-commerce, financial technology, cloud computing, and the export of IT products. China’s strengthening its position in international digital rankings has been analyzed. It was ranked 4th in the Digital Opportunity Index, 16th in the Global Digital Competitiveness Index and 45th in the E-Government Development Index. This became possible due to factors such as the scale and potential of the domestic market, a high level of technological development, an active innovation policy of the state and large Chinese corporations that promotes digitalization, high quality education and research results. Taking into account the processes taking place in the global economy in 2020, the short-term and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of China’s digital economy have been identified. The short-term effects include the capitalization of restrictions, testing of new technologies and familiarization of the population with new digital opportunities, the long-term ones are the expansion of demand and a change in its structure, an increase in investments in digital transformation, including through public and private support programs
