Purpose of paper: This is a presentation of basic changes in the approach to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy of Ukrainian and Polish companies in the context of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, and their impact on business efficiency. This study was conducted to determine how businesses have changed CSR strategies based on the assistance provided. Design/approach: The paper is consisted with 3 parts. The first is about a theoretical context of CSR in Ukraine and Poland – as a short view of literature and practices related to topic, in the time of begging of War. The second part includes findings on research sample – questionnaire research among Ukrainian companies and their practices with CSR during the begging the War. The last part is an attempt of conceptualization own proposal of operationalization of CSR strategy in a time of war called Emergency Reflection Algorithm. Practical implications: The development of corporate social responsibility is one of the ways of strategic business development in achieving strategic goals, strengthening competitive positions in the market, building partnerships, establishing stable relationships between all elements of the internal and external environment of enterprises. Social implications: With the beginning of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, there is an active participation of business in addressing the vital needs of civilians, military support, for Ukrainian citizens. Enterprises spend insane resources in material and financial terms in turbulent times of war. In general, understanding they bring emergency impact into a social surviving. The main subject of the research was the assessment of CSR practices in the face of a huge change, which was Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Findings: Half of the surveyed enterprises changed the strategic goals of CSR. In general, the primary goals are “Income” and “Use of material and financial resources: hire productivity of assets, better capital use, cost decrease”. The identified CSR strategy meets the criterion of measurability, and therefore all changes that are made to the current strategy or when formulating a new strategy must be adjusted to the strategic goals of CSR. Surveyed enterprises changed their strategic goals, while the rate of change in the strategic indicators of the positive contribution of CSR. This result demonstrates the need for changes in the enterprise management system. Originality/value: There was proposed the Business Model Canvas as tool to help forming/ adapting a CSR strategy. Keywords: CSR, Ukraine enterprises, war in Ukraine, sustainability management. Category of the paper: research paper, conceptual paper.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to compare the efficiency of pandemic management in two conflicting countries - Russia and Ukraine. The thesis about the superiority of Russia over Ukraine in terms of many social and economic factors seemed obvious. Reality measured with logically defined data contradicts this thesis. The use of statistical data ended on the day the war began. Design/methodology/approach: Each of the two considered countries was treated as an administrative structure divided into regions (oblasts). It was assumed that the quality of regional management by the central authority should be assessed on the basis of fair and equal treatment of all regions. This assessment was made for two statistical factors - the number of deaths and the number of vaccinations, whose distribution in the country was assessed according to the Gini index. Findings: Just before the war broke out – in February 2021, indicators of efficient pandemic management in the regions were better for Ukraine than for Russia. Ukraine recovered from the pandemic faster. This is a rather unexpected result. The article justifies the historical background of the centuries-old social and political relations between Russia and Ukraine, also using the position of Poland in these relations. Research limitations/implications: The presented research, together with its methodology, can be repeated for any administrative structure (state, group of countries), regions, cities, etc. An obvious requirement for conducting such research is the availability of reliable data on deaths and vaccinations. Practical implications: The method can be used to assess the efficiency of pandemic management at any administrative level (states, regions, groups of cities, etc.). Originality/value: An important novelty and the result of the research is the discovery of the Ukrainian organizational advantage in the fight against the pandemic just before the outbreak of the war. Keywords: Ukraine's war with Russia, COVID-19, vaccinations, pandemic deaths, pandemic management. Category of the paper: Research paper.

Purpose: The article aims at presenting possible challenges faced by supply chains in the upcoming years. Design/methodology/approach: The article employs analysis of the literature on the subject. Findings: As a result of the critical analysis of the literature, the authors have highlighted what they consider to be the most significant challenges facing supply chain managers in the coming years. These include meeting increasing customer demands for on-time delivery, the skillful use of new technologies and an increasing emphasis on environmental issues in supply chain management. These are challenges arising from changes in the business environment. The last few years, and many examples of broken supply chains, have shown that changes in the way we think about how supply chains operate are required in many areas. Trends in the environment are forcing the challenges listed above to be addressed urgently. These challenges are closely interconnected. For example, changes in purchasing behaviour are also increasingly concerned with environmental issues, which translates into the need to 'green' supply chains. Also, customer expectations for greater visibility of processes in supply chains and increasing pressure to deliver as quickly as possible (which is linked to the growth of e-commerce), are driving the need for new technologies, including automation. Research limitations/implications: The authors have focused on the most important trends and challenges and the article certainly does not cover all the topics studied. It is to some extent a subjective selection made by the authors. In addition, it should be noted that dynamic changes in the environment may influence the emergence of new challenges that are not presented in the article. Practical implications: The supply chain management challenges presented in the article may be of interest to those responsible for the operations of supply chains within companies. Originality/value: The article is a subjective indication of the most important trends in supply chain management and stems from a review of the literature on the subject. Although the issues analysed are present in other research papers, here we have the authors’ choice. Keywords: supply chain management, smart logistics, GSCM. Category of the paper: Viewpoint.

Purpose : The aim of the article is to present the direction of development of the brand of Bielsko-Biala in selected areas in the coming years, with particular emphasis on research conducted among high school students. Design/methodology/approach : Own analysis of the strategy report of the city of Bielsko-Biala, analysis of literature on building the city's image and strategy, and local survey research in the city of Bielsko-Biala using a questionnaire available online. Findings: Thanks to the conducted research, it is possible to identify the needs and expectations of students from Bielsko-Biala related to the development strategy of the city's cultural offer, as well as public transport. Research limitations/implications : The research has been limited to data obtained from a single source and limited resources (selected group of respondents), hence future research can be extended to different levels and theoretical areas. It is important to conduct further research in this area to increase their universality. Originality/value: research paper.
