In the paper, the results of research into the competitiveness of Hungary's economy in 1995-2002 were presented. The competitiveness of the economy was determined on the level of the manufacturing sector with special regard to the impact of foreign direct investment on the automotive industry and the electrical and optical appliance industry. The above industries that in the 1990s had enjoyed priority governmental support in the form of investment incentives, showed the strongest penetration by the foreign capital. The foreign direct investment (FDI) companies established in these industries made the quickest adaptive structural transformations in the sphere of production and marketing, increased the export volume and decidedly improved the quality of their product offer, thus integrating Hungary into the European production and sales chain. This has been not without influence on the profitability of the FDI companies in the above industries. Thus, the adaptability of the Hungarian economy and its sales and profit making capability in the industries under review have proved to be high, thanks to the foreign direct investment companies. However, at the same time the economy's capability of attracting foreign investment has been considerably weakening, as the volume of foreign investment in the manufacturing sector has been approaching the limit of this sector's absorption capability.

Nowadays Poland possesses a comparative advantage arising from relatively lower production costs. However, it is apparent, that this advantage is fading away. The sources of the process lie, among others, in Poland's exposure to manufactures from beyond the European Union, from countries that are developing more dynamically than Poland. This process is unavoidable. Moreover, our lower-cost advantage is diminishing as a result of appreciation pressure which the zloty is permanently exposed to. Also high inflation pressure can boost this process. Therefore it is clear that Poland is facing a race against time: not only has it to slow down the loss of the above advantage, but it also has to create new advantages as quickly as possible. Consequently, one of the objectives of macroeconomic policy should be to accelerate Polish accession to the European Monetary Union. Failure to do so would result in further strengthening of the zloty and in its volatility that impair operations of Polish companies (especially small and mid-size which can not afford to hedge against exchange rate risks). Joining the EMU would give Poland extra time to build a modern economy, prevent the zloty's further appreciation and, as a result, reduce ongoing falling relatively-lower-costs competitive advantage.

In view of challenges faced by contemporary enterprises, increasing their ability to compete through application of appropriately selected competition tools is an important task. Results obtained from studies covering food industry enterprises from the region of Warmia and Mazury indicate that resources available to them have the major influence on application of such competition tools as company image, product price, product quality, brand and width of products range. On the other hand, the influence of resources on application of such competition tools as range of pre-sale services as well as quality and price of pre-sale services in the studied enterprises was low. Aiming at improving the effectiveness of competition instruments applied, the food industry enterprises are forced to build and improve their resources as well as their tangible and intangible characteristics. That applies mainly to research-innovation and marketing activities. Strong resources in those areas of operation will allow applying specific and clearly unique configurations of competition instruments.

This study focuses on higher education and attempts evaluate the competitive potential of higher education institutions of Podlasie against other participants in the Polish education market. These days one can observe increasing efforts on the part of higher education institutions to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. In order to successfully compete against numerous educational institutions, universities have to undertake steps to raise their level of competitiveness. A key role in this process is played by the human capital of higher education institutions, particularly the quality of academic staff. Academic teachers are a driving force of higher education, but they are not readily available. Raising the qualifications of academic staff is determined by a number of factors, which are also crucial for the competitive position of educational institutions. This is clearly observable in Podlaskie Voivodeship, whose universities, apart from having to ensure a suitable number of highly-qualified staff, are also forced to strive to maintain their competitive edge over institutions from other regions. The paper also discusses the role that higher education plays in the economy as a whole. Moreover, the author indicates the consequences of inadequate financing of higher education institutions.

The article uses triangulation of methods, meaning the combination of quantitative analysis of official statistical data with own qualitative analyses. The condition and dynamics of the Polish fruit and vegetable sector were analysed and results of qualitative studies on competitiveness of selected companies from the sector were presented. The resources and competence, forms of competition and rivalry of selected companies from the sector were evaluated. The entrepreneurs' opinions concerning the domestic and export markets were analysed using descriptive measures of qualitative features interrelations. The concurrence of entrepreneurs' opinions demonstrated the convergence of market conditions at home and abroad. However, the entrepreneurs assessed that their position on foreign markets as being relatively weaker than on the domestic market. The weaker position of analysed enterprises on foreign markets results from low level of concentration of the companies from the fruit and vegetable processing sector and their relatively low innovativeness.

The problem of the Polish economy is low factor competitiveness. The businesses are commonly believed to be of great importance in creating competitive economy, whereas the aims of businesses are greatly regulated by consumers. Consumers, being the least significant yet the most numerous section of economy, are the entity which both entrepreneurs and different business groups must recognize. New conditions and socio-economical phenomena, resulting from the process of transformation of the Polish economy, show distinctive growth of importance of market consumption. The lack of relatively solid and harmonized attitudes in mutual exchange of economic subjects on goods and tangible and intangible services market on the one hand and the lack of them on the employment and financial markets on the other hand do not condition creating a stable and homogenous system of behaviour in a widely conceived intra-economical cooperation. Not downgrading the role of businesses in building competitive economy it may be argued that consumers, through their participation in widely conceived market game (social), initiate the processes shaping directly and indirectly the (present and future) competitive capability of economy.

This article presents a thorough analysis of the concept of virtual organisation, allowing an examination of the virtualisation process to be carried out in a comprehensive manner while also taking into account its complexity and multidimensionality. The methodology for measuring the level of organisational virtualness has been effectively applied to a wide range of businesses, both large and small, representing the traditional and high-technology sectors. Statistical analysis confirmed that virtualisation has a positive impact on a company’s competitiveness. The results and conclusions of the examination provide a new perspective for the scientific exploration of virtual organisation, and form a starting point for future studies in this area of research.

Competition is a way of coordinating the market, whereas competitiveness is an asset in the rivalry between companies. All market players benefit from competition. On the demand side of the market, consumers receive a product that can better satisfy their needs. On the supply side, competitive conditions of economic environment force enterprises to enhance their economic activity (stimulation effect) as well as to develop cooperation based on specialisation (specialisation effect). Tangible benefits of competition are also expected as a result of intensification of the effect of production scale (optimalisation effect). Competitiveness is a notion that estimates the behaviour of the participants of market competition, mostly from the point of view of the results of their activities and their capability to generate a financial surplus (or other benefits). With regard to the competitiveness of the Polish economy, we can observe a steady improvement in its competitive position. However, the pace of change is far from satisfactory. There are still numerous segments whose prospects are not optimistic. These include, for example, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, innovativeness or the efficiency of economic environment institutions. In order to assess the chances of boosting the competitiveness of the Polish economy one must determine the relevant factors of economic growth. It seems that more weight should be given to direct factors affecting the dynamics of growth processes. It is the efficiency of human capital that determines what, how and where will be manufactured and in what proportions economic effects will be distributed. We should search for factors which determine the growth dynamics of the competitiveness of economic aggregates (enterprises, economic branches) in the long term.

The contemporary debate on merits and disadvantages of welfare state is centered on the efficacy and performance of the system. The assessment of social effects of policies pursued by a welfare state was, predominantly, concentrated on the dependence of poverty sphere and income inequalities on the volume of public expenditure. It follows from our analyses that neither the economic theory nor the results of empirical research provide unequivocal opinion to what extent welfare state's policies affect the performance of the economy. The experiences of EU member countries, especially the Scandinavian countries, point to the fact that social security and competitiveness of the economy do not constitute mutually contradictory goals. Productive economy to a smaller degree requires 'a minimal state' but rather depends on effective macroeconomic policy, on the transparency of operation of public institutions as well as on educational and health protection policies, which in turn contribute to the high quality of human assets.

The positive feedback effect may cause that the improvement of the financial potential of farms should translate into the increase of the future competitiveness. Negative feedback effect will result in its decrease. It has to be remembered, however, that no automatisms apply in this case since the financial potential is only one of many determinants of competitiveness and building competitive advantages. The latter, however, form a complementary interdependent system rather than excluding characteristics. The article presents the analysis of four of many possible classifications of competitive advantages in agriculture: efficiency/productivity one; the one based on innovations and entrepreneurship; the one referring to corporate social responsibility (CSR), and the one referring to creating shared economic and social value (CSV). Moreover, the article covers an analysis of relations between competitiveness and cooperation, namely problems with e.g. coopetition and creation of syncretic rent in networks of various organisations, often those functioning in vertically integrated systems. The latter more and more often appear in the food sector.

The Polish economy is a semi-developed one with a real chance to reduce the distance to highly developed countries. For this to happen, however, an efficient R&D model is among the crucial prerequisites. R&D makes it possible to accelerate structural modernisation and, as a consequence, contributes to increased international competitiveness. This, in turn, in the time of globalisation, can ensure constant economic growth. Nowadays, most countries with a high level of international competitiveness rely on intra-industry specialisation. It seems that Poland has also reached the limit of inter-industry trade expansion, and thus it needs to enhance intraindustry trade. These changes can only be achieved with the help of R&D institutions.

The article indicates the solutions which improve the competitiveness of Polish agriculture, through the increase of the share of farms with the potential for development. It was assumed that the growth should be achieved by a directed support of investment activities of farmers, provided in draft regulations of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development for the 2014-2020 perspective. To increase the efficiency of support, the article presents the way of funds distribution for the purpose of the investment growth. The method presented limits the scope of the support. It will be limited to the farms which achieve good economic results and are interested in investing, yet lack funds to do so. Farms with too small scale of production and those which have adequate financing of investments should be excluded from the scheme. Support criteria for agricultural farms are also listed.

The objective of the study is a presentation of the bases for improvement of competitiveness of agricultural food products made in Poland with consideration taken into the influence of the Common Agriculture Policy of the European Union. In connection with the processes of globalization which started in 90s of the last century and with the fact of accessing Poland to the EU, what resulted in entering the European structures and functioning in a deep competitive environment, the analysis concerning possibilities of achieving an appropriate level of competitiveness became a priority. It is not a simple task to achieve because, regarding the variety of approaches to this issue, no homogenous method exists for the analysis of this phenomenon.

Enterprises continually search for ways of improving and strengthening their competitiveness. This is not an easy task. Continuous floating of new products to the market is one of the options. Thanks to product innovations the enterprise can increase its market share, the level of achieved profit, improve its competitive position and, as a consequence, its competitiveness. This study aimed at identification of strategic goals of creating new products, factors determining undertaking of innovation activities in that area and factors determining market success of such products. The studies showed that floating new products to the market serves, first of all, achievement of typical market goals. The success of a new product strategy is determined by marketing factors as well as the financial standing of the company, its image and promotion potential. The major factors stimulating innovative activities of the enterprise are the status of market needs and preferences, rate of changes in them, technology progress as well as resources and skills of the enterprise.
