Abstract

This article has the character of a review to better understand the form of hybrid organisations in the context of their effectiveness. The paper explores how hybrid organisations are defined in many countries, as well as present case studies and the wide range of mixed forms of delivery services. The author suggests that Polish municipal companies could be classified as one of the existing forms of a hybrid organisation. The study is based on foreign and national literatures. In this article, one of the approaches presented is the contemporary interpretation of effectiveness.
