Spirit of Capitalism in Poland: A Personal Perspective on Entrepreneurship

From 2012 to 2019, I have been lecturing at various universities in Northern, Central and Southern China, as well as in Poland and the U.S. In this book, I assess and examine different dynamic economies: those of the emerging superpower of China, challenges of contemporary America and Poland, where I grew up and experienced first-hand the decline of socialist ideology with turbulent search for alternative social and economic systems. The transition to a capitalist, and expressly market economic system, from the formerly centrally planned or “command economy” is of paramount practical importance. This is especially true now, when the social contract and social structures are eroding and

a search for a (different version of “better” though arguably utopian) social order is becoming more vocal. We are witnessing visible decline of democracy in general. We experience an erosion of social and cultural values – and most importantly decline and crises in traditional, moral standards.

The four decades of successful transition to the market economy that started in China in 1978 have produced one of the most surprising and astonishing economic transformations on record: expressly burgeoning economic welfare but at an implicitly high (and growing political cost). China has dramatically transformed business enterprises, infrastructure, material, and social wellbeing, but not culture as we come to understand within the Western norms. This is what the world, particularly Western observers, see in rapidly changing Chinese society where capitalism or market economy has its own distinct Chinese characteristics.

The author shows a critical link between customers’ expectations and relationship management as of paramount importance in cultivating loyalty and continuous flow of profitable busi-ness. Just as a ditty tells us: there is no better business than repeat business. Insurance companies form a system of channels to provide the insurance services in the most opti-mal way to achieve their own goals. They allow the potential customers to use the services of channels with which the in-surance company distributes its products. Managing cus-tomer relationships is an important element of nurture loy-alty. However, it must be accompanied by appropriate measures to maintain the relationship at every level of or-ganization. The aim of this article is to analyze the insurance market in Poland from side of insurance an insurance mediation.
