Abstract or Introduction
Competitiveness is nowadays one of the central preoccupations of governments and industries wordwide. Especially for reintegrating Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) into the world economy these countries´ national competitiveness plays a crucial role. Even if national competitiveness has become a widespread concept, there still exists no final definition, as scientists point out. Though a first orientation about the concept of competitiveness can provide Michael E. Porter´s approach, in which he explains: “The only meaningful concept of competitiveness at the national level is national productivity. […] No nation can be competitive in everything. A nation´s pool of human and other resources is necessarily limited. The ideal is that these resources be deployed in the most productive uses possible.” Using Porter´s definition as a first anchor for the assessment of Poland´s competitiveness, one has to closer examine Poland´s level of national productivity.
