THEORETICAL ISSUES OF MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABLE (BALANCED, DURABLE, RESPONSIBLE) DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RESEARCH OF POLISH SCIENTISTS

Abstract

The article examines the Polish experience of research on sustainable development management. The research hypothesis is to understand the importance of public administration for sustainable development and to recognize the need to improve it through research. The scientific novelty of the publication is to identify and systematize the research of Polish scientists on sustainable development management, identify the level of their impact on practice, generalize approaches and open to the Ukrainian reader. The authors note the growing role of the concept of sustainable development in the Republic of Poland, which is manifested in scientific works. Research by Polish scholars in the 1980s and 1990s focused on the theoretical foundations of sustainable development and implementation practices based on foreign experience. The predominance of environmental research and the perception of sustainable development was noticeable, especially in terms of preserving the environment for future generations. Later, more attention was paid to sustainable business development and increasing the level of its responsibility for the implementation of sustainable development strategies. There is also a noticeable improvement in the terminology of the issue: from the translation of the concept of “Sustainable development” – “eco-development”, “balanced”, “balanced”, “sustainable development”, etc. to “responsible development”. A combination of terms is also used to reflect the stability of development, its breadth and publicity. Among the obstacles to sustainable development, Polish scholars point out the lack of necessary resources to ensure the ecological development of the economy, limited public awareness of environmental development and emphasize the need to improve legal support for development, training, increasing business responsibility and more.
