Witczak Hubert, Nauka o zarządzaniu. W kierunku systemu syntezy, 2023, Warszawa: Wydawnictwo CeDeWu, ISBN: 978-83-8102-628-4 [read]

The subject matter and problems of management are becoming increasingly complex, whilst at the same time the field of management studies is becoming increasingly fragmented and scattered. It is regarded as a secondary ‘practical discipline’, taking a back seat to economics, political science, sociology and other fields, as well as combinations thereof. At the same time, management practice is suffering spectacular failures, failing to achieve the expected efficiency at the intended levels. One of the reasons is a lack of synthesis within the management sciences. This work returns to the subject discourse. By diagnosing the state of management sciences and their foundations, including their laws, the author proposes systemic-praxeological foundations for a system of synthesis within management sciences. On the basis of pragmatic management sciences, this synthesis focuses primarily on apragmatic management science. [Publisher’s description…]

Polowczyk Jan, Witczak Hubert, Błaszak Maciej (red.), Podejście ewolucyjne w naukach społecznych, 2018, Warszawa: Wydawnictwo CeDeWu, ISBN: 978-83-8102-146-3 [read_version 1] [read_version 2]

This book is a pioneering work on the Polish publishing market, presenting the results of collaboration between researchers from various disciplines within the social sciences. What unites the authors, despite their use of different concepts and cognitive models, is an evolutionary approach rooted in the belief that both individuals and entire societies are the result of long-term developmental processes. These processes follow certain rules. The book is an exceptionally original and useful work. It demonstrates new possibilities for conducting joint research and enriching knowledge in the social sciences as well as the humanities. It may serve as an inspiration for various academic communities in organising interdisciplinary teams. A good example is the development of evolutionary economics as a result of collaboration between economists, psychologists, sociologists and representatives of other disciplines. The book is intended not only for lecturers, but also for PhD students, undergraduates, managers, politicians and anyone interested in new trends in science. [Publisher’s description…]

Witczak Hubert, The nature and shaping of an enterprise management system, 2008, Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN, ISBN: 978-83-011-5559-9 [read]

This paper is an attempt to synthesise the epistemological knowledge concerning the enterprise management system (EMS) as a category. For this reason, as is only natural, we have made certain simplifications; some issues have merely been touched upon. We define a scientific cognitive problem as the difficulty of dealing with a state of scientific ignorance in a given field, and it is in this sense that we shall henceforth use the term. The thematic areas we have identified in order to better describe this perceived gap in scientific knowledge are:
1) the existing (if any) paradigm of scientific claims;
2) identifying the scope, content, extent and nature of the knowledge gap;
3) establishing the scientific nature of a given state of ignorance;
4) determining the relationship between the current state of knowledge and previous attempts to resolve it, as well as other scientific problems. [from the Introduction…]

Sławińska Maria, Witczak Hubert (red.), Podstawy metodologiczne prac doktorskich w naukach ekonomicznych, 2008, Warszawa: Polskie Wydawnictwo Ekonomiczne, ISBN: 9788320817607 [read]

The aim of doctoral studies is to prepare doctoral candidates for independent research and creative work, and to enable them to obtain a doctoral degree. Consequently, questions are frequently raised within the academic community regarding the requirements that a doctoral thesis in the field of economics must meet. The authors of Methodological Foundations of Doctoral Theses in Economics have presented, in a systematic manner, the fundamental issues concerning the methodology of doctoral theses, and in particular: the links between economics and management sciences; scientific problems, hypotheses and theorems; and techniques of the scientific process; selected methods for solving scientific problems; the methodology of writing doctoral theses; and the criteria for their assessment.
