It combines theoretical, empirical and policy-oriented analyses to explain how Poland has leveraged foreign investment to accelerate economic development, deepen its integration into international production networks and move from a predominantly cost-based model towards a more capability- and innovation-driven pattern of growth. Moving beyond narrow cost-based views, the monograph introduces the concept of investment competitiveness as a country’s ability not only to attract capital but also to embed it productively, diffuse technology and skills, and upgrade its role in international production networks. Through this lens, the volume evaluates how Poland has combined robust GDP growth, improving labour market conditions and macroeconomic stability with persistent structural weaknesses in innovation, institutions and high-technology upgrading. Drawing on high-quality international and national data, the chapters analyse long-term trends in inward and outward FDI, the changing sectoral and geographic structure of capital flows, and Poland’s deepening integration into GVCs compared with other Visegrad economies and key EU partners. Special attention is devoted to the real scale of the American investment footprint in Poland, including its contribution to assets, employment and technological modernisation. Looking ahead, the book explores how competition for capital is shifting towards data-driven, knowledge-intensive and intangible-rich activities embedded in innovative regional ecosystems. It identifies both the risks of remaining locked into medium-technology, assembly-type roles and the opportunities for Poland to position itself as a regional hub for high-value green, digital and dual-use investments. By integrating conceptual, empirical and policy-oriented perspectives, this volume provides an essential guide for policymakers, scholars, investors and practitioners interested in understanding and shaping Poland’s evolving place in the global economy. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12182/1426 Industrial Policy and Competition Dynamics Dietl, Marek; Moszoro, Marian; Skrok, Łukasz; Lubasiński, Jędrzej; Wiśnicki, Bartłomiej; Kryśkiewicz, Łukasz; Araya, Gonzalo; Szyl, Marek; Duszak, Anna; Prokop, Jacek Duszak, Anna; Prokop, Jacek; Skrok, Łukasz The book has been prepared by the faculty members of the Department of Business Economics at SGH Warsaw School of Economics and their research collaborators. Due to use of different methodological approaches, qualitative and quantitative, theoretical and empirical, particular chapters present analysis of various aspects of industrial policy and its impact on market competition. Topics covered include: evolution of industrial policy, use of AI in the energy sector, political aspects of investment projects, gender balance in companies, intellectual property rights and their limitations and public financing of professional sports. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12182/1417 Polska : raport o konkurencyjności 2025 : rekonfiguracja globalnych łańcuchów wartości i kształtowanie przewag konkurencyjnych Kowalski, Arkadiusz Michał; Weresa, Marzenna Anna; Próchniak, Mariusz; Przeździecka, Eliza; Dzienis, Anna Maria; Menkes, Jerzy; Kuźnar, Andżelika; Napiórkowski, Tomasz Marcin; Tomeczek, Artur Franciszek; Lewandowska, Małgorzata Stefania Kowalski, Arkadiusz Michał; Weresa, Marzenna Anna Kryzysy, jakie dotknęły gospodarkę światową w ostatnim pięcioleciu, takie jak pandemia COVID-19, napięcia geopolityczne czy kryzys energetyczny, przyczyniły się do ujawnienia zagrożeń wynikających z rosnącego stopnia integracji z globalnymi łańcuchami wartości (Global Value Chains – GVC). Zakłócenia w łańcuchach dostaw, utrudnienia w dostępie do surowców czy rynków uwydatniły potrzebę zwiększenia odporności gospodarek na wstrząsy zewnętrzne, a także konieczność dywersyfikacji struktury geograficznej międzynarodowych powiązań handlowych i inwestycyjnych. Niniejsza monografia wpisuje się w ten nurt dyskusji na temat konkurencyjności gospodarki otwartej w warunkach coraz silniejszego zintegrowania w ramach GVC. Uwzględniając kontekst globalny i europejski, autorzy monografii stawiają sobie za cel wyznaczenie konkurencyjności polskiej gospodarki i jej zmian w latach 2015–2023 na tle innych krajów członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, w powiązaniu z pozycją naszego kraju w globalnych i europejskich łańcuchach wartości dodanej. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12182/1416 Poland : competitiveness report 2025 : reconfiguring global value chains and shaping competitive advantages Kowalski, Arkadiusz Michał; Weresa, Marzenna Anna; Próchniak, Mariusz; Kuźnar, Andżelika; Napiórkowski, Tomasz Marcin; Tomeczek, Artur; Lewandowska, Małgorzata Stefania; Dzienis, Anna Maria; Menkes, Jerzy; Przeździecka, Eliza Kowalski, Arkadiusz Michał; Weresa, Marzenna Anna The crises that have affected the world in the past five years, such as COVID-19, geopolitical tensions, and the energy crisis, have revealed the threats that arising from increasing integration with global value chains (GVCs). The disruption of supply chains, as well as difficulties in accessing raw materials or markets, highlighted the need to increase resilience to external shocks and diversify the geographical structure of international trade and investment links. This monograph contributes to the ongoing discussion on the competitiveness of an open economy in the context of deepening integration within GVCs. Taking into account the global and European context, the authors of the monograph aim to assess the competitiveness of the Polish economy and its changes during the period 2015–2023 in comparison with other EU member states, in relation to Poland’s position in global and European value chains. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
