The aim of the study is to examine the degree of effectiveness of the Special Economic Zones in Poland and to indicate the diversity in their operation. In addition, the author’s intention was to identify the determinants of efficiency, taking into account the political and economic conditions in which the zones function and their geographical location. The study uses data included in the Information on the implementation of special economic zones available on website premier.gov.pl from 2015. The data available in the source material allowed for the analysis of year 2014 only. In order to determine the effectiveness of the zones, the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method was used.

The main purpose of the study was to analyse the relationship between workaholism and work engagement which, in the light of current research, constitute two separate constructs, although they are in some way related to each other. In addition, their relationship with demographic data, such as, age, gender, type of position was examined.
The cross-sectional study, with the use of questionnaire methods (the Polish version of UWES and DUWAS), included in its scope 967 economically active people from Polish organizations, representing various professions.
The analysis of relationships (with the use of the method of structural equation modelling) of workaholism and work engagement showed – in spite of weak association through absorption – the separate nature of the constructs studied. Regarding the relationship with demographic factors, women obtained higher scores in all dimensions of workaholism and work engagement; older workers showed greater engagement and ­greater compulsion to work than younger workers; managers, when compared with non-managers, are characterized by a higher level of excessive work.
The results showed that workaholism and work engagement are two distinct phenomena, although they are related to each other to a little extent. The obtained differences in the examined constructs in terms of demographic factors provide a starting point for further research and analysis of their specific characteristics and causes.

The article discusses the features of the transformation of the concept of human capital in the context of modern ideas about the development of socio-economic relations. The attention is paid to significant changes in the nature of human capital, which are influenced its further intellectualization and creativity. It also analyses the problems of human capital from the position of further perspective of alienation overcoming what at one time wrote Marx. It analyses the social ideas of Toffler in the context of opposition of three waves of civilization in modern Ukraine. Results of the study of the essence of human capital give reason to believe: the role of managing the process of its development is important.

The article analyses selected arguments for a universal methodology for managing communication and knowledge in organizations. On the basis of those conditions the principles of knowledge management are presented. Axioms underlying the logic model consistent with methodology is accompanied by a logic diagram of the other three components: the themes, processes and maintenance.
The postulated methodology of communication and knowledge management in organizations aims to provide a universal, cost-effective and efficient tool to support the ­daily operations of the company, change management and implementation of strategic objectives. At the same time implementation of the principles of this methodology may allow for an increase in commitment and enhanced performance of potential users of communication processes and knowledge management – by making users prosumers.

The article refers to the phenomenon of the dissemination of financial logic in the management of joint stock companies, which basic activities are conducted outside the financial sector. This phenomenon has been observed in the United States since the eighties of the twentieth century and is also confirmed in the European Union, some Polish companies operating across borders included. Non-financial corporations are increasingly interested in profits derived from financial assets, financial institutions alike.
The article reviews literature in purpose to draw attention to new problems of control which result from the change mentioned in the title. In case of non-financial corporations undergoing the change controlling by financial institutions becomes elusive and illusory.
