EVOLUTION OF POLISH COMPANIES DURING THE ECONOMY TRANSFORMATION AFTER 1989
Abstract
The paper focuses on the changes in the activity of companies in Poland between 1989-2009.
Those changes concern the goals o f business activity, methods of its realisation, both in respect of its
fundamental function and supporting functions, and sources of the competitive advantage, market
behaviours, particularly in relation to customers, competitors, vendors and other organisations from
the business environment. Consequences o f globalisation, especially those seen in the fragmentation
of economic activities and tools of its implementation (outsourcing and offshoring), deserve a special
attention. Both development strategies have been used by Polish entrepreneurs. The business goals
have undergone economic rationalisation, manifested as a necessity to solve problems such as the
operating profitability of a given business or activity, the scope or extent of a given economic activity
justifying its continuation, or cost-effectiveness of the traditional cooperative agreements. Today,
transnational, or global, companies play a key role on the business market. Likewise, the role and
impact o f the ideas and technologies of the information society are of fundamental importance.
Furthermore, transformations in the organisation o f businesses are also important. Their structures
are becoming better adapted to the current requirements of competitive markets and they
substantially reduce fixed costs.
For the purposes o f the study and to illustrate the changes taking place in the basic quantitative
and qualitative features o f companies operating throughout Poland, the authors used statistical
information published by Poland’s Main Statistical Office (GUS).
