    Dear Readers,

    In 2025, the Max Weber Institute organised Góry Zarządzania (Management Mountains), with the main theme being the identity of Lower Silesia's inhabitants. It was an inspiring conference grounded in scholarly reflection and experiences drawn from diaries, memoirs, and autobiographies. During the conference, many postulates were formulated, including the need for systematic collection and analysis of materials in this field, which are currently dispersed across cultural centres, libraries, academic institutions, and private collections. This would enable the inventorying of resources and the conduct of reliable academic research.

    The Institute also completed work on the Development Strategy for the Municipality of Międzybórz and, as in previous years, prepared Reports on the State of the Municipalities of Szczawno-Zdrój, Dobromierz, and Czarny Bór. In addition, several communication training sessions were conducted, and reports were developed outlining opportunities for companies and local governments to obtain external funding.

    The world we live in is becoming increasingly noisy and increasingly superficial, while societies are returning to basic needs, pushing higher-order needs into the background. As a result, populists are winning more often, and governance methods are becoming increasingly brutal. At the same time, this picture is overlaid by the rapidly accelerating development of the information society, which, in my view, will further widen the distance between social groups and individuals. We will drift ever further apart from one another in intellectual, cognitive, and also material terms. This lack of cohesion will, unfortunately, give rise to new demons and conflicts.

    Yet in such turbulent times, we should seek a return to fundamental values, such as the love of one's neighbour, which has so often protected humanity and the individual human being from annihilation. This is what I wish for you and for myself.

    Kind regards,
    Jerzy Tutaj

    Dear All,

    In June 2024, the Max Weber Institute once again organised Góry Zarządzania – this time in Dobromierz – with the central theme focused on knowledge management and social innovation. The Institute also began work on the Development Strategy for the Municipality of Międzybórz and, as every year, prepared Reports on the State of the Municipalities of Szczawno-Zdrój, Dobromierz, and Czarny Bór.

    The times we live in are not only demanding and increasingly uncertain, but also times in which human relationships are increasingly based on mutual respect. Relativism, the pursuit of advantage, and the drive to possess ever more cause genuine bonds to fade, while individuals without scruples, self-absorbed, and devoted to the principles of hedonism come to the forefront.

    It is becoming harder to marvel at beauty, truth, and goodness. However, the written word seems to remain a stronghold; therefore, let us read, write, and create a world alternative to the one outside our window.

    With best regards,
    Jerzy Tutaj

    Dear Readers,

    Management is a fascinating profession that allows you to shape reality and build the future. However, the ego resources needed for this too often develop too much, turning away from respect for other people, life in general, and all of nature. The all-powerful theory of benefits and the policy of the stronger constantly moves towards more, faster and further. The man of the 21st century still cannot stop and precisely define his actual needs. Therefore, emphasis should be placed not only on managing the organization but also on managing oneself. We must realize that our world - which we have in front of our eyes - is not objective, and we must think that everyone has their own world. It is the biggest challenge for any management. The philosophy of minimalism is a new trend also in organizational and self-management. However, how to root an idea so far from our ego in the modern economy and society is a great challenge for this century.
    Our focus on the well-being of the environment is not only a general challenge, but also the meaning of their work for many new generation managers. In this spirit, we invite you to read the current issue, in which the authors refer to the indicated situations in various areas.
    Kind regards

    The year 2022 is primarily about Russia's aggression against Ukraine. It is the time of brutal actions of the Russian army against the civilian population of Ukraine. It was also a time when heroism once again proved more vital and stopped Moscow's murderous attacks. It is a time when the world of civilization, despite everything, managed to unite and systematically assist Ukraine. It is when we - Poles - are passing the exam of our brotherhood towards Ukraine and Ukrainians. A time when the war continues, and innocent people are killed on the orders of a little man. However, it is also a time of hope that such people will answer for their actions and will not find followers.
    The fifth issue of the magazine was devoted to development management and evaluation in local government units and information management in enterprises.
    We want to thank all authors, collaborators, and sponsors for creating the next issue of our journal.
