(SAGE Publications, 2015) Klimczuk-Kochańska, Magdalena; Klimczuk, Andrzej; Stanislaw Staszic College of Public Administration in Bialystok; Warsaw School of Economics
New technologies are often radical innovations that change current activities across different areas of social and economic life. At the beginning of the 21st century, some of these technologies are information and communications technology (ICT), nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence. These innovations stimulate new opportunities for the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, and thus can help solve social problems. But they also cause new social risks and inequalities.

Outplacement - Barriers and Challenges of Implementation by Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Poland
(2013) Klimczuk, Andrzej; Klimczuk-Kochańska, Magdalena; Warsaw School of Economics; Stanislaw Staszic College of Public Administration in Bialystok
Under the conditions of the global financial and economic crisis restructuring undertaken by companies often is associated with the optimization of operating costs in the dimension of human capital. Relatively little popular technique is responsible outplacement, which can reduce the risk of long-term unemployment and maintains the key competencies by the employees and organizations. At the same time public and private employment services usually have no experience in implementing outplacement programs. Small and medium-sized enterprises have difficulties in availability of those services. Paper is based on a critical analysis of the literature and a study conducted in Podlaskie Voivodship in 2012 in the under the project "Innovations in the corner - testing and implementation of new methods of outplacement." Study included a series of in-depth interviews, focus groups and quantitative CATI research among entrepreneurs and employees. Main conclusions lead to claim that outplacement should be popularized as good practice of corporate social responsibility. The implementation of such programs can be done by increasing the role of social economy actors - in particular non-governmental organizations that carry out tasks in the field of labor market policy.
