Efficiency and productivity, as well as quality of the manufactured products and innovative activity of enterprises and agricultural holdings are today the key determinants of the increase in products competitiveness. At the same time, the above-mentioned terms form complex categories, which are variously defined and measured. Consequently, their analysis requires high precision, intuition and experience, as well as regularity. The system presented in the paper conforms with the requirements. It is simultaneously a framework proposal, hence, it is flexible and open to consider external impacts. First of all, the system was drawn up in order to satisfy the needs of external analysts, but it can be also used to support the management steering processes of specific entities. Its structure refers to five concepts of managing the present-day organisations, however, each time it is determined on the basis of specific problems occurring in agriculture and respectively modified as a result of the most recent economic crisis. The presented monitoring system incorporates different categories of organisational efficiency. It means, inter alia, that is does not place financial efficiency against economic efficiency, instead it aims at determining the conditions for adequate use of both of them.
With the approval of the Lisbon Treaty the scope of cohesion policy has changed — social and economic issues have been complemented by a territorial aspect. During the ongoing discussion on this topic it is necessary to more strongly emphasize the role of public statistics as a data source, essential for the policy objectives’ creation, monitoring and evaluation. The presentation outlines the key directions of Polish regional statistics development — from organizational change to actions and initiatives. Organization of regional statistics in Poland constantly adapts to the changing needs of stakeholders. The basis for providing effective information services is the integrated co-operation of many public statistics service units. Therefore, Regional Surveys Centres in all voivodships were established. The methodological works undertaken in the field of regional statistics should also be mentioned. In the context of monitoring and implementation of development policy strategic objectives an important initiative is developing a new typology of communes, already in the final phase. Other works concern the development of indicators. Constant improvement of publicly accessible databases like Local Data Bank should not be forgotten. The summary of the presentation will be an attempt to reflect on the challenges determined not only by changing of socio-economic or political issues, but also resulting from new technical possibilities.
