Abstract
The taxonomy method was introduced by Adanson in 1763 and expanded by a group of mathematicians from Poland in 1950. In 1968, Zyegnant Hellwing from the Wroclaw high school introduced this method as a means of classifying and determining the degree of development (Jurkowska in Oecon Copernic 5:49–73, 2014 [65]; Bienkowska in Activities of local authorities in promoting entrepreneurship in Poland. Jelgava, Latvia, pp. 26–31, 2013 [66]). This method is very appropriate for grading, classifying, and comparing different activities with respect to their advantages and utility degree from studied attributes.
