Abstract
The object of our research was the composition of Management Boards, Supervisory Boards and commercial representatives of all Polish joint stock companies. We have constructed an Internet accessible database in which analysed data are collected. We used MySQL database PHP scripts and Apache server. Data are transferred into the database from announcements published in the paper version of an official journal. The database contains data on about 6939 Polish joint stock companies and about 63843 people. On the basis of data collected so far, certain conclusions can be drawn as well as questions answered in some detail. For example, we can identify who has been and who currently is a member of the management and supervisory board of every Polish joint stock company. We can also determine in which joint stock companies he or she is or was appointed. It is also possible to study the so-called ‘interlocking directorships’ (personal combinations). The problem of personal data protection has not yet been solved. Although such data come from an officially issued journal, we have no permission to make this information available to the public via the Internet.
