In this article, the conditions and determinants of the introduction and development of the circular economy (CE) in Poland were presented against the background of the widely discussed essence of circular economy, with particular emphasis on the Polish mining sector. In addition, the European Green Deal—an action plan for a sustainable economy for the entire European Union, was discussed. Particular attention was paid to the role of human resources in the area of supporting research and stimulating innovation, and in the area of activating education and training. These issues are further discussed in the next chapter by presenting the forms, ways and scope of education for sustainable development in the international context. Another chapter describes the EIT Raw Materials KAVA 5 RIS competition in Poland (in Kraków) at AGH-UST from 2019 to 2022, an international project in a consortium of four universities whose main objective is to strengthen entrepreneurship in the V4 countries in line with the recommendations of the “Green action plan for SMEs” in a way to meet the requirements of circular economy. The initiatives and trainings carried out within the framework of this project were discussed, and the results of the student survey on the level of knowledge achieved regarding entrepreneurship in the area of the raw materials industry were analysed. The validity and necessity of continuous education in eco-responsible citizenship has thus been confirmed.

Introduction. The existence of a factor of uncertainty has predetermined interest for research which is connected with the economic security of the enterprise. In the last decades, various directions of economic security of the enterprise have been investigated. It concerns the intellectual security of the enterprise which is a completely new direction. However, there are still quite a few theoretical developments in this area, which determines the relevance of our work. Purpose. The article aims to carry out the empirical study of scientific views on the essence of intellectual security of the enterprise, the search for theoretical and methodological basis for building an author's definition of the economic concept. Method. Method of study of theoretical sources, method of analysis, method of generalization, morphological method, and method of semantic and content analysis have become the methodological basis of the research. Results. The article deals with scientific sources and analyses the definition of "intellectual security of the enterprise". The use of immanent and contextual approaches to the study of scientific sources has allowed determining its attributive nature, as well as its object and objectives. The attributes of intellectual security of the enterprise are as the following ones: a complex of measures; security state; stability state; preservation and development; effective personnel management; level of knowledge of modern knowledge; prevention of negative influences; confronting threats. Morphological and epistemological methods have been chosen for the analysis. They are combined for the complex analysis of author's definitions. The use of the method of definition through the generic concept has allowed determining the author’s own explanation of intellectual security of the enterprise. It should be defined as "the state of intellectual capital protection and intellectual potential of the enterprise, which ensures not only normal activity, but also the development of enterprise measures for the detection and neutralization of external and internal threats and for conditions of sufficient interest in management at all levels". The main theoretical significance of the obtained results is that the author has not only proposed the definition of an unexplored economic category, but also demonstrated the scientific methodology from various branches of science. It allows constructing subjective determinations and makes this process scientifically justified.

This article shows the use of good practices of the CMMI quality model as part of the work methodology applied in the classroom and with the project-based teaching-learning model. The first step was the definition of the work methodology, as already mentioned adopting good practices of the CMMI quality model. It continues with the definition and integration of the collegiate body who play the role of expert leaders in their work areas and define the characteristics that form the integrating project. Finally, work teams were formed for the implementation of the methodology in a real scenario, supported by technological tools to facilitate its management. The contribution was to propose a work methodology that offers an improvement in the teaching-learning process experience, increases the level of knowledge and that favors the labor inclusion of graduates.

The main purpose of international marketing research is to identify the current needs of consumers in foreign markets to set the direction of enterprise development to meet them, thus bypassing competitors. Market research is only an integral part of this process. Although, the most important part of it. This is due to the need to take into account primarily the requirements of the market, which can create the conditions for eliminating existing shortcomings in foreign economic activity and have a positive impact on the prospects of companies. International marketing is an independent branch of the enterprise when entering foreign markets and includes a set of measures to organize the production and sale of products, services focused on meeting the needs of specific foreign consumers based on research and forecasting of international markets. The purpose of this work is to provide a definition of international marketing research, justify their importance in the present and consider the main problems that may arise along the way. International market research may cover the world commodity market, the market of countries and industries, domestic and foreign markets or their specific segment. In addition to market research, sales research has the highest frequency. There may be some difficulties in conducting marketing research abroad. For example, surveys of business people in Taiwan become possible only when using at least four languages. These circumstances create not only high costs for this type of research, but also not always, due to numerous translations from one language to another achieve the goal, as they may be accompanied by loss or distortion of information. International marketing research generates data in order to perform: sales forecasting, identify loyal and satisfied customers, identify the optimal price range for the company's products. Such analysis is a process of collecting and studying the information needed to make effective decisions in business management, including international.

Abstract. As the criticism of the definition of the phenotype (i.e., clinical diagnosis) represents the major focus of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative, it is somewhat surprising that discussions have not yet focused more on specific conceptual and procedural considerations of the suggested RDoC constructs, sub-constructs, and associated paradigms. We argue that we need more precise thinking as well as a conceptual and methodological discussion of RDoC domains and constructs, their interrelationships as well as their experimental operationalization and nomenclature. The present work is intended to start such a debate using fear conditioning as an example. Thereby, we aim to provide thought-provoking impulses on the role of fear conditioning in the age of RDoC as well as conceptual and methodological considerations and suggestions to guide RDoC-based fear conditioning research in the future.

Definition Of

The term ?business model' has recently attracted increased attention in the context of financial reporting and was formally introduced into the IFRS literature when IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was published in November 2009. However, IFRS 9 did not fully define the term ‘business model'. Furthermore, the literature on business models is quite diverse. It has been conducted in largely isolated fashion; therefore, no generally accepted definition of ?business model' has emerged. Therefore, a better understanding of the notion itself should be developed before further investigating its potential role within financial reporting. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the perceived key themes and to identify other bases for grouping/organizing the literature based on business models. The contributions this paper makes to the literature are twofold: first, it complements previous review papers on business models; second, it contains a clear position on the distinction between the notions of the business model and strategy, which many authors identify as a key element in better explaining and communicating the notion of the business model. In this author's opinion, the term ‘strategy' is a dynamic and forward-looking notion, a sort of directional roadmap for future courses of action, whereas, ‘business model' is a more static notion, reflecting the conceptualisation of the company's underlying core business logic. The conclusion contains the author's thoughts on the role of the business model in financial reporting.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation
