We recommend the publication, co-authored by Prof. Czesław Mesjasz. It is available for download free of charge on the publisher's website.

The publication is part of a peer-reviewed scientific series that deals with a long-term and significant process of transformation in which humanity has become both the cause and a potential solution to global challenges. It focuses on the concept of the Anthropocene, an era in Earth's history during which humans have a decisive influence on the Earth system. This book analyzes political, economic, social, and scientific discourses related to achieving sustainable development. Its main goal is to rethink politics, strategies, and governance in the context of the Anthropocene.

This scientific book sheds light on the crucial aspect of quality management in projects, which has been emphasized in standards and publications for years. However, research indicates that the practical implementation of quality management falls short of the declarations made by standards authors. Often, project managers prioritize exceeding budgets, adhering to schedules or dealing with unexpected issues over quality management due to time constraints.

This monograph stems from extensive research that aimed to identify existing solutions and develop a coherent concept of quality management in projects. The research also endeavoured to integrate various quality management schools and project management approaches to isolate good practices, irrespective of their origin.

Together with our partners from Technical University in Kosice (Slovakia) and Thomas Bata University in Zlin (Czechia), we start the international project Improving quality management teaching in the era of Industry 4.0. 

The project provides for scientific research, study visits, seminars, and courses for academic teachers, doctoral students and students. The project will take 18 months to complete. More info is available on the project website.
