The findings about the ineffective link between education and business highlight the need for closer contacts between educational institutions and all entities interested in the process of forming the image of an efficient and socially responsible manager, meeting the requirements of the globalizing business in the XXI century. The purpose of the study is to reveal the opportunities for applying the principles of responsible management through introducing new elements in the education in economics, administration and management in order to create knowledge and skills for leadership and socially responsible management. Main tasks: studying the opportunities for intertwining the PRME in the curricula; specifying margins for improving formal and informal education; presenting good practices. The object of study is the principles of responsible education in management and their intertwining in the curricula of the studied disciplines. The subject of study is the theoretical and practical forms of education in economics, management and administration through which students acquire knowledge, skills and competences as a result of applying the principles of responsible management education. The intertwining of the principles of responsible management education into the theoretical and practical preparation of students in the areas of economics, administration and management is a prerequisite for the preparation of leaders that are responsible for the future is the thesis that is defended.

The study aims to test the applicability of three basic investment and portfolio management models in emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe – the EVA model, RI model and ETF α+ model. Our thesis statement is that the models established in developed economies are applicable to emerging markets but should be modelled according to the specifics of these markets. Our task was to create modified models that are applicable in the East-European emerging markets. First we tested the economic value-added model (EVA), but we met a number of difficulties in applying it in Eastern Europe, mainly due to some differences in the accounting standards. Therefore, we developed the much simpler RI model, in which with only two modifications we were able to prove its applicability in our markets. Based on this result we then made key changes in the EVA model and as a result we found that both indicators – EVA and RI – can be used as criteria for implementing investment and portfolio management policies. In the final stage of the project we successfully tested the possibility of generating alpha returns in duplicating the WIG220 index, achieving a higher return than the market return.

The object of the current study is the public debt, and the subject – the tools for measurement (monitoring), evaluation and analysis of debt under the conditions of a growing global debt crisis. The analysis focuses on two working hypotheses: First. Determining the situation in the external sector of an economy is a function of the cumulative expression of the individual analytical balances reported as foreign exchange balances, on the one hand, and the status and trends in its external debt. Second. The debt crisis in the 21st century from a phenomenon typical of developing countries is becoming a global problem, whose solution requires the application of a variety of measures and decisions of national and international nature. The aim of the study is to develop ideas for methodologically sound assessment on an international basis of the current state of public debts as a basis for conducting national and internationally agreed policies for its management.
