- Poland offers size and healthy growth above 4% annually, making it the second most important CEE market for members after Russia. However, rapid growth is unrealistic as Poland becomes wealthier and more competitive. - B2C companies reported a slowdown in Q1, B2G will be hit by elections and budget cuts, and B2B faces increasing competition and costs. - Poland is still solid but less of a star than in the past. Managing expectations is becoming more important as the market matures.

This paper investigates the barriers to innovation perceived by Polish manufacturing firms. It refers to the heterogeneity of innovation active firms. We introduce a taxonomy of innovative firms based on the frequency with which they introduce commercialised innovations using data from both CIS4 (for 2002-2004) and CIS5 (2004-2006). Two groups of innovation-active firms are distinguished: those which introduced innovation in both periods covered by both CIS (which we call persistent innovators) and those which introduced innovation either in CIS4 or CIS5 (which we call occasional innovators). We use a four step analysis covering binary correlations, Principal Component Analysis, probit model and correlations of disturbances. Two types of explanatory variables describing firms’ characteristics and innovation inputs used are considered. The paper shows that there are considerable differences in sensitivities to the perception of innovation barriers and in complementarities among barriers between persistent and occasional innovators. In the case of occasional innovators, a kind of innovation barrier chain is observed. This has an impact on differences in the frequency of innovation activities between the two groups of innovators and results in a diversification of innovators.

This paper confronts the traditional balance-of-payments (BoP) analytical framework (with its dominant focus on the size of a given country’s current account imbalance and its external liabilities) with the contemporary realities of highly integrated international capital markets and cross-country capital mobility. Some key implicit assumptions of the traditional framework like those of a fixed residence of capital owners and home country bias are challenged and an alternative set of assumptions is offered. These reflect the unrestricted character of private capital flows (with no “home country bias” and fixed domicile) determined mostly by the expected rate of return. As a result, the importance of BoP constraints (in their “orthodox” interpretation) diminishes and they disappear completely with respect to individual member states within a highly integrated monetary union. This does not mean, however, immunization from other kinds of macroeconomic risks.

At the beginning of 1990s the Soviet successor states started to transform their financial sectors to meet the needs of the emerging market economies.
Following a decade of transition, results differ. Although the Baltic States were able to build quite successful financial systems, in the CIS countries financial systems remain a major obstacle to economic growth. The hyperinflations of the early 1990s, the financial scandals that followed the collapse of monobank systems, and subsequent incomplete progress in constructing non-bank financial institutions and effective regulatory structures have had adverse consequences. These include weak bank balances sheets, high real interest rates, and poor access to capital for small enterprises and start ups. With a few exceptions, nontransparent regulation, inadequate disclosure frameworks, and weak protection of shareholders rights continue to limit investor participation in CIS financial markets. The absence of effective threepillar pension systems further limits the demand for domestic debt and equities.
Fortunately, there are signs of improvement. Bank lending and deposits are growing in many CIS economies, the proportion of bad debt in bank credit portfolio is falling, and lending and deposit interest rate spreads are diminishing. The solid economic growth recorded since 1999 in many CIS countries is helping memories of the 1998 financial crisis to fade, and stock exchanges in some CIS countries are currently at or near record levels. Financial systems in CIS economies may be moving toward the successful frameworks put in place in the new EU member states. However, because they have not benefited from the extensive foreign direct investment that recapitalised banks in Central Europe, financial stability in many CIS countries remains open to question.

This paper discusses the global financial crisis of 2008/9 in thirteen countries, the ten new EU members that previously were communist and the three countries of Western former Soviet Union. Their problems were excessive current account deficits and private foreign debt, currency mismatches, and high inflation, while public finances were in good shape. The dominant cause was fixed exchange rates. Many lessons can be drawn from this crisis. A dollar peg makes no sense in this part of the world. The five currency boards in the region have lacked credibility. By contrast, inflation targeting has worked eminently. The euro has proven credible both in the countries that officially adopted it and in the countries that adopted it unilaterally. With the exception of Hungary, all the countries in the region have displayed decent fiscal policies. No government should accept large domestic loans in foreign currency and they can be regulated away. The IMF has successfully returned to the original Washington consensus with relatively few conditions: a reasonable budget balance and a realistic exchange rate policy, while focusing more on bank restructuring. The most controversial issue is the role of the ECB. The ECB should facilitate the accession of willing EU members to the euro by relaxing the ERM II conditions.

The joint study by KPMG and RSPP in 2013 looked at foreign business investors' perspectives on the regional investment climate in Russia. Key findings included:
- Foreign investors chose Russia primarily for large market opportunities outside of energy and natural resources, showing Russia's growing diversification.
- While overall investor confidence was improving, it varied significantly between regions depending on investors' interactions with regional governments.
- Regional readiness to attract investors often failed to meet specific industry needs.
- Corruption may have been responsible for the failure of as many as 1 in 7 potential investments.
- A few regions were praised for making FDI a priority and putting investors' perspectives at the heart of their strategies.

CASE Network Studies and Analyses 358 - Monetary Policy Rules for Convergence...CASE Center for Social and Economic Research
This paper aims to devise a monetary policy instrument rule that is suitable for open economies undergoing monetary convergence to a common currency area. The open-economy convergence-consistent Taylor rule is forward-looking, consistent with monetary framework based on inflation targeting, containing input variables that are relative to the corresponding variables in the common currency area. The policy rule is tested empirically for three inflation targeting countries converging to the euro, i.e. the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. Stability tests of the input variables affirm prudent inclusion of these variables in the suggested policy rule. Empirical tests of the proposed instrument rule point to systemic differences in monetary policies among these euro-candidates. The Czech inflation targeting is forwardlooking relying on a sensible balance between inflation and output growth objectives. Poland's policy focuses on backward-looking inflation, while the Hungarian policy on exchange rate stability. Forecasts of policy instruments based on the prescribed rule are more accurate and reliable for the Czech Republic and Hungary, but less for Poland.

This document provides background on private sector development in developing countries. It discusses trends in privatization revenues globally and by region since 1988. Privatization activity was highest in Latin America in the 1990s and Eastern Europe/Central Asia in the 2000s, while the Middle East/North Africa region saw more modest activity. Research generally finds private ownership outperforms state ownership. However, privatization alone does not guarantee improved performance - competition, strong market institutions, and the type of private owner are also important factors. The document will examine private sector trends in Latin America, post-communist Europe/Asia, and the Middle East/North Africa region.CASE Network Studies and Analyses 433 - Euro Zone Crisis and EU Governance: T...

This paper focuses on roots of strain in the European Monetary Union (EMU). It argues that there is need for a thorough reform of the governance structure of the Union in conjunction with radical changes in the regulation and supervision of financial markets. Financial intermediation has gone astray in recent decades and entailed a big bubble in the industrialized world. Waves of financial deregulation have enhanced systemic risks, via speculative behavior and growing inter-connectedness. Moreover, the EMU was sub-optimal from its debut and competitiveness gaps did not diminish against the backdrop of its inadequate policy and institutional design. The euro zone crisis is not related to fiscal negligence only; over-borrowing by the private sector and poor lending by banks, as well as a one-sided monetary policy, also explain this debacle. The EMU needs to complement its common monetary policy with solid fiscal/budget underpinnings. Fiscal rules and sanctions are necessary, but not sufficient. A common treasury (a federal budget) is needed in order to help the EMU absorb shocks and forestall confidence crises. A joint system of regulation and supervision of financial markets should operate. Emergency measures have to be comprehensive and acknowledge the necessity of a lender of last resort; they have to combat vicious circles. Structural reforms and EMU level policies are needed to enhance competitiveness in various countries and foster convergence. The EU has to work closely with the US and other G20 members in order to achieve a less unstable global financial system.

This document provides a summary of a literature review on the impact of European integration on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to Central and Eastern European countries. It finds that previous studies show European integration announcements and progress increased FDI to these countries, as investors anticipated improved institutions and access to EU markets. However, most previous studies did not fully account for different stages of EU integration or the impact of the financial crisis. This study aims to address these gaps by examining the effect of specific political, economic, and monetary integration milestones on FDI inflows to 11 Central and Eastern European EU member states from 1995 to 2013.

After reporting very high growth rates as well as being seen as examples of successful economic transition, the “Baltic tigers” (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) are now among the worst victims of the global economic crisis. All three have reported large declines in GDP, income and employment, which threaten the significant development progress made since the mid‐1990s.

The aim of the paper is to analyze theoretically and empirically the likely impact of the reduction in exchange rate uncertainty, due to the EMU accession, on the intensity of FDI inflow into candidate countries. Theoretical models give an ambiguous picture of how exchange rate uncertainty and volatility affect direction and magnitude of FDI inflows. The main contribution of this paper is in finding that exchange rate uncertainty and volatility may negatively influence the decision to locate investment in transition and accession countries. Nominal exchange rate uncertainty seems to particularly hamper FDI inflows in accession countries. The key finding of this paper is that euro adoption is likely to exert a positive influence on FDI inflows in accession countries.

Financial instruments statistics important for central banks, and especially for the National Bank of Poland because if the statistical system imposes a responsibility on the central bank it must meet all the requirements of statistical excellence. This is a very important argument, but only a formal one for our interest in this subject. There is a second stream of motives for addressing this problem in central banks. Experience gained over the last decade shows clearly that financial instruments, especially those issued by enterprises, are becoming increasingly important for monetary transmission mechanisms and for financial stability. Among other things, there is empirical evidence that corporate bond spreads lead real economic activity. The situation in the financial instruments market is also meaningful for the general condition of the credit market, as bonds are close substitutes for banking credit. Development of the financial instruments market also contributes to the so-called financial market deepening effect, with multiple consequences for transmission mechanisms.7 It should be noted that, owing to the wide variety of channels through which financial instruments can interfere with monetary policy operations, the central banks are interested in collecting detailed information on these instruments. In practice it results in a complexity of standards for financial instruments security statistics that central banks are expected to meet.
From recovery to opportunity
This document provides a 10-year retrospective on the Luxembourg financial sector from 2007-2017. It summarizes that while the Luxembourg financial sector grew almost 10 times faster than the European financial sector since 2007, overall profitability has declined. Funds under management doubled to €3.3 trillion, private banking AUM grew to €350 billion, and insurance premiums and reserves saw double-digit growth. However, increasing costs, regulatory requirements, and competition have reduced profit margins across sectors. The document examines trends in key sub-sectors and argues Luxembourg's success is due to its flexible open-architecture model, skilled workforce, accessible regulator, and diverse investment solutions.
Journal 5
This document summarizes a paper that examines how financial markets and innovation contribute to productivity and growth in Europe. It finds that further developing European financial markets could increase their contribution to innovation, productivity, and growth in three key areas:
1) Improving corporate governance, particularly minority shareholder protections against self-dealing by corporate insiders.
2) Enhancing the efficiency of legal systems in resolving financial conflicts to encourage investment.
3) Addressing the structural features of some European bank sectors, such as reducing public ownership that can distort markets.
Econometric analysis suggests that improving these conditions could increase capital market size and the speed at which capital is reallocated to more productive sectors, benefiting
Current and future role of Central-Eastern European countries and firms withi...
Central and Eastern European countries are playing an increasingly important role in global logistics systems due to their strategic geographic locations and lower costs compared to Western Europe. Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic have experienced significant growth in their logistics sectors since joining the EU. They have attracted many manufacturing and logistics companies through advantages like skilled labor forces and infrastructure investments. However, challenges remain such as modernizing rail and port facilities to handle growing trade volumes. CEE countries are expected to continue expanding their roles as logistics hubs between Western Europe and other regions in the future.
Gavin Stoddart's Presentation
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for foreign investment in the Russian Far East region. It outlines the region's natural resources, location advantages, and economic targets. However, foreign investment remains low due to issues like poor infrastructure, an underdeveloped legal system, lack of information and skilled labor, and the region's remote nature. Both regional governments and individual businesses must take steps to address these challenges in order to attract more investment and develop the economy of the Russian Far East.

The document discusses the growing investment transaction market in central and eastern Europe, noting that while the region generates 20% of European GDP and contains 35% of modern European office space, it only attracts 7% of total real estate investment in Europe. Major trends in 2014 included rising investment volumes across many CEE countries and a large number of office building acquisitions. Going forward, the document suggests interest may grow in secondary cities across the region as investors seek to diversify risks beyond capital cities.
Toward an Innovative Poland
1) The document discusses Poland's need to shift from imitation-based growth to innovation-based growth in order to continue converging with Western incomes levels and fully develop its economy.
2) It proposes an "entrepreneurial discovery process" to help Poland prioritize and focus its innovation spending on areas with the largest economic potential, based on input from businesses, research institutions, and other stakeholders.
3) The World Bank project tested this process in Poland through interviews with businesses, workshops, surveys, and other methods to identify innovation opportunities and needs to inform Poland's national smart specialization strategy.

2009 M & V Plastics Extrusion Plant
Primex Plastics installed dynamic VAR compensation systems from Quality Energy at its Corsicana, TX plant to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. Quality Energy monitored the plant's energy usage and power quality before and after installing the systems. The data showed significant decreases in current, reactive power, and energy usage, along with increases in voltage and power factor. This resulted in estimated annual savings of $73,044 from reduced electricity costs and equipment repairs along with less downtime. The systems also improved power quality issues that were causing electrical problems. Quality Energy delivered 171% of the projected annual savings and recommends adjusting the main transformer voltage slightly lower based on the increased voltage from the systems.

CASE Network E-briefs 9.2009 - The Baltic Conundrum
After reporting very high growth rates as well as being seen as examples of successful economic transition, the “Baltic tigers” (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) are now among the worst victims of the global economic crisis. All three have reported large declines in GDP, income and employment, which threaten the significant development progress made since the mid‐1990s.

The aim of the paper is to analyze theoretically and empirically the likely impact of the reduction in exchange rate uncertainty, due to the EMU accession, on the intensity of FDI inflow into candidate countries. Theoretical models give an ambiguous picture of how exchange rate uncertainty and volatility affect direction and magnitude of FDI inflows. The main contribution of this paper is in finding that exchange rate uncertainty and volatility may negatively influence the decision to locate investment in transition and accession countries. Nominal exchange rate uncertainty seems to particularly hamper FDI inflows in accession countries. The key finding of this paper is that euro adoption is likely to exert a positive influence on FDI inflows in accession countries.

Financial instruments statistics important for central banks, and especially for the National Bank of Poland because if the statistical system imposes a responsibility on the central bank it must meet all the requirements of statistical excellence. This is a very important argument, but only a formal one for our interest in this subject. There is a second stream of motives for addressing this problem in central banks. Experience gained over the last decade shows clearly that financial instruments, especially those issued by enterprises, are becoming increasingly important for monetary transmission mechanisms and for financial stability. Among other things, there is empirical evidence that corporate bond spreads lead real economic activity. The situation in the financial instruments market is also meaningful for the general condition of the credit market, as bonds are close substitutes for banking credit. Development of the financial instruments market also contributes to the so-called financial market deepening effect, with multiple consequences for transmission mechanisms.7 It should be noted that, owing to the wide variety of channels through which financial instruments can interfere with monetary policy operations, the central banks are interested in collecting detailed information on these instruments. In practice it results in a complexity of standards for financial instruments security statistics that central banks are expected to meet.
From recovery to opportunity
This document provides a 10-year retrospective on the Luxembourg financial sector from 2007-2017. It summarizes that while the Luxembourg financial sector grew almost 10 times faster than the European financial sector since 2007, overall profitability has declined. Funds under management doubled to €3.3 trillion, private banking AUM grew to €350 billion, and insurance premiums and reserves saw double-digit growth. However, increasing costs, regulatory requirements, and competition have reduced profit margins across sectors. The document examines trends in key sub-sectors and argues Luxembourg's success is due to its flexible open-architecture model, skilled workforce, accessible regulator, and diverse investment solutions.
Journal 5
This document summarizes a paper that examines how financial markets and innovation contribute to productivity and growth in Europe. It finds that further developing European financial markets could increase their contribution to innovation, productivity, and growth in three key areas:
1) Improving corporate governance, particularly minority shareholder protections against self-dealing by corporate insiders.
2) Enhancing the efficiency of legal systems in resolving financial conflicts to encourage investment.
3) Addressing the structural features of some European bank sectors, such as reducing public ownership that can distort markets.
Econometric analysis suggests that improving these conditions could increase capital market size and the speed at which capital is reallocated to more productive sectors, benefiting

Central and Eastern European countries are playing an increasingly important role in global logistics systems due to their strategic geographic locations and lower costs compared to Western Europe. Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic have experienced significant growth in their logistics sectors since joining the EU. They have attracted many manufacturing and logistics companies through advantages like skilled labor forces and infrastructure investments. However, challenges remain such as modernizing rail and port facilities to handle growing trade volumes. CEE countries are expected to continue expanding their roles as logistics hubs between Western Europe and other regions in the future.
Gavin Stoddart's Presentation
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for foreign investment in the Russian Far East region. It outlines the region's natural resources, location advantages, and economic targets. However, foreign investment remains low due to issues like poor infrastructure, an underdeveloped legal system, lack of information and skilled labor, and the region's remote nature. Both regional governments and individual businesses must take steps to address these challenges in order to attract more investment and develop the economy of the Russian Far East.

Cee investment report by skanska
The document discusses the growing investment transaction market in central and eastern Europe, noting that while the region generates 20% of European GDP and contains 35% of modern European office space, it only attracts 7% of total real estate investment in Europe. Major trends in 2014 included rising investment volumes across many CEE countries and a large number of office building acquisitions. Going forward, the document suggests interest may grow in secondary cities across the region as investors seek to diversify risks beyond capital cities.
Toward an Innovative Poland
1) The document discusses Poland's need to shift from imitation-based growth to innovation-based growth in order to continue converging with Western incomes levels and fully develop its economy.
2) It proposes an "entrepreneurial discovery process" to help Poland prioritize and focus its innovation spending on areas with the largest economic potential, based on input from businesses, research institutions, and other stakeholders.
3) The World Bank project tested this process in Poland through interviews with businesses, workshops, surveys, and other methods to identify innovation opportunities and needs to inform Poland's national smart specialization strategy.

Coal mine fatality
Three coal trucks were working together to clear an area when a fatal accident occurred. The second truck backed into the third truck without seeing it in its mirrors, trapping the operator of the third truck between the two vehicles. It took an hour to extricate the victim, who was transported to the hospital but died from their injuries before being airlifted to another facility. The incident highlights the importance of ensuring you are visible to others and of staying inside your cab for safety.
2009 M & V Plastics Extrusion Plant
Primex Plastics installed dynamic VAR compensation systems from Quality Energy at its Corsicana, TX plant to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. Quality Energy monitored the plant's energy usage and power quality before and after installing the systems. The data showed significant decreases in current, reactive power, and energy usage, along with increases in voltage and power factor. This resulted in estimated annual savings of $73,044 from reduced electricity costs and equipment repairs along with less downtime. The systems also improved power quality issues that were causing electrical problems. Quality Energy delivered 171% of the projected annual savings and recommends adjusting the main transformer voltage slightly lower based on the increased voltage from the systems.

DRMG is looking for a new transcription system to replace their legacy system. They are considering Commissure, a young company that offers an integrated speech recognition, reporting, and workflow system called RadWhere. RadWhere uses Dragon medical speech recognition and can integrate with many RIS and PACS systems. It could streamline transcription, reduce costs by eliminating transcription positions, and increase productivity. An analysis shows the system would pay for itself within 10 months and continue to save money in subsequent years.

The document identifies four economies - Poland, Australia, South Korea, and Canada - as potential pockets of opportunity for businesses given their strengths in key conditions for growth. Poland benefits from open access to EU and Russian markets. Australia has a very stable business environment and continued demand for natural resources. South Korea invests heavily in R&D and has a skilled workforce supporting technology sector growth. Canada is energy secure with high renewable energy use, making it less sensitive to energy price changes. These economies are projected to grow substantially faster than the Eurozone over the next five years, outpacing their regional peers.

In a world struggling with low growth, the ten member states of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) represent a genuinely exciting prospect among emerging markets. The Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU) expects growth in the region, already the world’s sixth largest economic bloc, to average 4.6% annually in the next five years. Much of this growth will come from ASEAN’s urban hubs: the region currently has around 50 cities with populations of over 500,000, which will continue to drive an overwhelming share of its economic development in the next decades.

CASE Network Studies and Analyses 438 - Financial Integration in Emerging Eur...CASE Center for Social and Economic Research
This paper draws on the experience of emerging Europe and argues that foreign capital is an enviable development opportunity with tail risks. Financial integration and foreign savings supported growth in the EU12 and EU candidate countries. We argue that this was possible because of EU membership (actual or potential) and its role as an anchor for expectations. In contrast, the eastern partnership states did not benefit from the foreign savings-growth link. But financial integration also led to a buildup of vulnerabilities and now exposes emerging Europe to prolonged uncertainty and financial deleveraging due to eurozone developments. Nonetheless, we believe that external imbalances should not be eradicated—nor should emerging Europe pursue a policy of self-insurance. Instead, what we refer to as an acyclical fiscal policy stance could serve to counterbalance private sector behavior. Going forward, a more proactive macroprudential policy will also be needed to limit financial system vulnerabilities when external imbalances are large.
This paper build on work presented in a World Bank report titled “Golden Growth: Restoring the Lustre of the European Economic Model” (2012) and on Juan Zalduendo’s presentation on “Financial integration. Lessons from CEE and SEE” delivered at the CASE 2011 International Conference on “Europe 2020: Exploring the Future of European Integration” held in Falenty near Warsaw, November 18-19, 2011.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
