The purpose of this study is: (i) to determine the competitiveness of Kazakhstan in contemporary international trade, with particular regard to the mineral resources possessed by the country; (ii) to show the consequences of Kazakhstan’s resources-dependent competitive profile for the economic development of the country; (iii) to look at measures taken by Kazakh authorities to facilitate future development. To this end, the methodology of analysing revealed comparative advantages was applied. The analysis has shown that the competitive profile of Kazakhstan in international trade is low. The country does not possess any comparative advantages in trade in the categories of high-technology and medium-hightechnology goods while its strongest advantages are in exports of mineral resources and their derivatives, which determines the resources-based character of the entire economy and makes its future development heavily dependent on developments in international resources markets.

The competitiveness of a company depends on the Intellectual Capital (1C) resources of the company, as well as on the ability to use them in the global market. But nowadays, use of the iC is not optimal in companies because there is lack of methods and techniques which give managers some kind of advice how to use properly their own intellectual potential - obviously maximizing advantages for the company. It also lacks research concerning what each component of the structure of 1C influences on gaining competitive advantage and increasing value of the whole company. The Intellectual Capital created in the company could have higher efficiency if it was possible to identify all its components and to know the measurement methods. The aim of this article is not only to describe all aspects of 1C Management but also to present a practical approach to the effective use of 1C, which is applied in consultancy and training companies. The authors also focus on some determinants of 1C and give some advice for managers about the way they could increase value of the company. As a result, the article suggests the comprehensive model of efficiency of use 1C. Thanks to this model the company could evaluate influence of the 1C in creating value and building competitive advantage on global market.

Na polskim rynku można obecnie obserwować zmiany towarzyszące pojawianiu się dużych sieci handlowych, zwłaszcza zagranicznych. Wobec wyzwań marketingowych coraz bardziej daje się zauważyć w tej grupie podmiotów nowoczesne podejście do zarządzania. Nasilająca się konkurencja, a także zmiany otoczenia oraz postaw i zachowań konsumentów powodują, że tracą na znaczeniu dotychczasowe, technologiczne i kapitałowe źródła przewagi konkurencyjnej. Aby sprostać bieżącym wymaganiom rynku, zagraniczne sieci szukają nowych koncepcji zarządzania starym systemem. W swoim działaniu uwzględniają zarządzanie innowacyjne ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem przyszłości.

Nowadays, one can observe changes that occur as a result of the advent of great supermarket chains (especially foreign) in Poland. They continue to promote modern attitude towards the management in the light of marketing challenges. Growing competition, changes in the environment as well as consumers' attitude changes lead to the decrease of importance of technological and capital means of gaining competitive advantage. To face current requirements of the market, foreign companies seek new ways of management instead of developing the old system. In their actions, they include innovative management which takes future into account.

Current glocalisation processes require the identification of priority areas for Ukraine’s further integration into the international economy. The right choice of direction, tools and forms of implementation allows the government to determine, justify and implement a competitive strategy for the country. The study aimed to determine the relationship between international economic integration and Ukraine’s global competitive power. Identifying Ukraine’s sectoral comparative advantages in trade with the EU and evaluating the index of the regional orientation of Ukraine for specific groups of goods and services made it possible to define the effects of economic collaboration with the European region. The assessment of the complementarity index of Ukrainian–European trade relations revealed that Ukraine and the European Union are main trading partners. Furthermore, the analysis of the mechanism of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union proved that the agreement actively contributes to the growth of Ukraine’s global competitive power. Comparative analysis in historical retrospect revealed priority areas for improving the integration processes which help to form the main competitive advantages of the country.

Research background: The position of a country in the international division of labour is determined by the competitiveness of its trade, the structure of which may both reveal and perpetuate the comparative advantages possessed. This is particularly true for Dutch disease economies such as Russia. Recently, economic literature has seen a growing interest in the topic of Russia?s economic relations with the European Union and China. This article is aimed at being the Author?s contribution to this discussion. Purposes of the article: (1) to discuss the existing trade interdependence between Russia and the EU28, and Russia and China; (2) to try to assess the extent to which the current structure of Russian trade with these two partners corresponds with the competitiveness of the Russian economy. Methods: An in-depth analysis of Russia-EU28 and Russia-China trade interdependencies in 2007-2015 has been conducted, with emphasis on the categories of goods within the spectrum from low- to high-technology, according to the OECD classification. Furthermore, in order to analyse Russia?s competitive profile with regard to the same categories of goods, Balassa?s methodology of revealed comparative advantages has been applied. Findings & Value added: In the recent years, a growing importance of China in Russian trade turnover can be observed, being the effect of dynamic growth of Chinese economy, cooling political relations between Moscow and Brussels and the drop in oil prices in international markets. The existing structure of Russian trade with the EU28 and China seems likely to preserve its traditional competitive advantages in the medium-low-technology goods and oil, which, in turn, will only further exacerbate the negative consequences of the so-called Dutch disease affecting the Russian economy.

Purpose: The purpose of the publication is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the courier services market (CEP) in Poland. The research focuses on identifying the main players in the market, understanding their operating strategies and assessing the impact of innovative solutions on the market. In addition, the aim is to examine the competitive advantages of companies against the background of customer satisfaction levels, the way courier services are delivered, and to analyse innovations in logistics. Design/methodology/approach: The surveys were conducted in three stages in 2020, 2021, and 2022/2023 in the Bydgoszcz metropolitan area. Conducting the surveys in three stages in different years made it possible to analyse changes over time and the mixed methodology using both online (CAWI) and face-to-face (PAPI) surveys allowed us to reach a wider group of respondents. Findings: Pandemic COVID-19 has increased the use of courier services. The current market leader is InPost and the high level of customer satisfaction is due to innovative parcel machines, speed of delivery and convenience of tracking parcels. Research shows that courier company customers value timeliness, efficiency and modern solutions such as parcel machines, which is an important area for courier companies to focus on in their quest for customer satisfaction and loyalty. Research limitations/implications: The results of the study are not representative, but they may be a contribution to a broader and more in-depth analysis of the KEP market and the level of customer satisfaction of courier companies. The limitations of the study include the limited geographical area (Bydgoszcz conurbation) and the small representativeness of the sample, which may affect the generalisation of the results. Research conducted on a larger scale, taking into account different regions of Poland, would provide a more complete picture of the courier services market. Practical implications: The increase in the use of courier services during the pandemic indicates changes in shopping behaviour. It was also found that older people are less likely to use courier services for online purchases, suggesting the need to educate and adapt offers to this customer group. Courier companies should therefore focus on improving service quality, offering innovative delivery solutions, adapting to changing customer preferences and responding flexibly to changing market conditions.Originality/value: The article provides information that can be used to make strategic decisions, tailor services to meet customer needs, increase the company's competitiveness in the CEP market, and build a strong reputation based on actual customer preferences.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Uniejów is a place where a system of cooperative-competitive relations is functioning and generating unique competitive advantages. The paper attempts to highlight the specific relationships between the entities, with a particular focus on their character, extent, quality and advantages.

Zglobalizowana gospodarka wymusza na podmiotach rynkowych poszukiwanie coraz bardziej innowacyjnych sposobów budowania trwałych przewag konkurencyjnych. Jest to warunek niezbędny, aby sprostać silnej konkurencji. Podobnie dzieje się w sektorze turystyki uzdrowiskowej, dla którego poszukiwanie nowych źródeł przewag konkurencyjnych jest fundamentalnym zadaniem. Nowym sposobem bycia konkurencyjnym na rynku jest połączenie sił różnych aktorów gry rynkowej, wzajemnie kooperujących, tzn. jednocześnie konkurujących i współpracujących. Powstały w ten sposób system relacji w sieci współpracujących firm tworzy źródło unikalnych korzyści dostępnych tylko dla danej grupy. Autor artykułu koncentruje się na udowodnieniu, że Uniejów jest miejscem, gdzie funkcjonuje struktura tworząca system powiązań konkurencyjno-kooperacyjnych stanowiąca źródło unikalnych przewag konkurencyjnych na rynku. Artykuł stanowi próbę opisania specyfiki powiązań pomiędzy przedsiębiorstwami ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich charakteru, zasięgu, jakości oraz korzyści.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie zagadnienia, jakim jest klaster, i jego roli w praktyce gospodarczej Polski. Po wyjaśnieniu pojęcia klastra oraz jego teoretycznych podstaw podjęto próbę wskazania czynników zewnętrznych oraz wewnętrznych, które w sposób pośredni lub bezpośredni mają wpływ na kreację i rozwój gron firm. Spróbowano również dokonać typologii i podziału klastrów z wykorzystaniem dostępnych w literaturze światowej klasyfikacji. W dalszej części przedstawiono istotę koncepcji klasteringu w Polsce, aby przybliżyć jej znaczenie w rozwoju przedsiębiorczości w Polsce. Oprócz wzrostu konkurencyjności gospodarczej, która jest następstwem podwyższenia efektywności, zwrócono uwagę na inny wymiar klasteringu, jakim są działania mające znaczenie dla skupiska firm, takie jak współpraca czy zaufanie pomiędzy partnerami. Z wykorzystaniem dostępnych źródeł literaturowych czy internetowych charakterystykę tę wzbogacono licznymi tabelami i rysunkami. Na podstawie przedstawionej wcześniej koncepcji klasteringu omówiono również kilka przykładów sieci firm. W tym celu posłużono się przede wszystkim opisami studiów przypadków (case study) z polskiej praktyki gospodarczej. W ostatniej części rozwinięcia wskazano również na bariery mogące w znacznym stopniu utrudnić rozwój klastra oraz dokonano ich podziału. Artykuł zakończono podsumowaniem ogólnych rozważań nad zagadnieniem klastra i jego istotą w gospodarce polskiej. Wskazano na obszary wiedzy do tej pory niezbadane w ramach klasteringu.

The purpose of this article is to present the concept of a cluster and its role in the Polish business practice. The article contains a brief explanation of the term along with its theoretical foundations. Then an attempt was made to point out the external and internal factors which affect, whether directly or indirectly, the creation and development of clusters of companies. Furthermore, a typology and division of clusters based on the classifications available in the relevant literature were presented. Next, the essence of the concept of clustering in Poland was introduced in order to show its significance for the development of entrepreneurship in Poland. In addition to the increase in the economic competitiveness, which results from higher effectiveness, attention was drawn to another aspect of clustering, namely the undertaking of actions relevant for the cluster, such as cooperation or trust between the partners. Based on available literature and Internet sources, the description was enriched with numerous tables and figures. On the basis of the concept of clustering described earlier, several examples of networks of companies were discussed, mainly by way of describing case studies from the Polish business practice. Finally, barriers which may significantly hinder the development of a cluster were pointed out and classified. The end of the article is a summary of the main considerations related to the concept of a cluster and its significance in the Polish economy. Areas of knowledge were discussed, which so far have not been researched as regards clustering.
