Abstract
The paper is an attempt to determine the relation between risk and trust and its influence on how
contracts are entered into by small and medium-sized private companies today, in the area divided
into the “old” and “new” economy. Both phenomena are treated as the basis on which a factor
qualitatively separate from their direct total is constructed, whose specifics is then related to the
necessity of commencing business in full readiness for relation-based contracts, a situation which the
current market seems be prefer.
These deliberations are carried out on the theoretical background of A. Gidden’s stratification
model of the acting agent and the behavioural assumptions of O. E. Williamson’s transaction cost
economics, and are focused on a contract as a phenomenon with consequences reaching much further
than would have transpired from a mere analysis o f its contents. Such an approach allows to analyse
also the social, and not only the formal impact of the practices used in the sector of small and
medium-sized private companies, while the very importance, or meaning of risk and trust and their
mutual derives from the impossibility to determine all the conditions and consequences resulting from
business transactions concluded by those companies.
Pointing out to the differences of transaction costs arising from different types of relations
between risk and trust and, basing on his own research, the author describes selected similarities and differences between the representatives of the “old” and “new” economy operating in the sector of
small and medium-sized private companies in respect o f two issues: the similarity in their of financial
credibility of a contract depending on the ownership structure of business partners (here, distinctions
are made between state-owned enterprises and private companies, which are divided further foreign
companies operating in Poland, foreign companies operating abroad and Polish private companies)
and the differences arising from the different character of business relations between companies
operating in the same sector, in which the “old” economy demonstrates actual forms of co-operation
with competitors, whereas the “new” economy limits itself to declaratory co-operation only.
