“…Many publications confirm the correlation between the quality of the state and the internationalization opportunities of companies. For example (Dobrowolska et al, 2021) out research in all EU member states. The inflow of foreign direct investment into these countries was positively correlated with the quality of the institutions in a given country, which translated into the investment attractiveness of the host country.…”

The aim of this article is to identify attributes related to the quality of the hospitalization process, categorized from absolutely necessary to those whose presence does not significantly impact this quality (according to the Kano methodology). The identified attributes also simultaneously contribute to shaping patient satisfaction. The primary objective of this article is to indicate at what level in the satisfaction assessment factors determine the quality of the hospitalization process and to what extent they align with the expectations of hospitalized patients. Design/methodology/approach: The literature review will focus on identifying factors determining the quality of the hospitalization process. The empirical part of the article will revolve around classifying these attributes according to the Kano methodology through survey research. The next stage of the research process will involve assessing the satisfaction of hospitalized patients in areas corresponding to the Kano attributes -through survey researchand identifying discrepancies between expectations and satisfaction levels. Findings: Among the attributes that particularly determine the attractiveness of a hospital unit are those related to reducing time. Shortening the admission time to the ward, waiting for discharge, and the time it takes to conduct prescribed tests are emphasized. Additionally, the importance of adhering to the treatment stages according to the planned schedule is highlighted. Therefore, it is recommended as a priority to simplify procedures for both admission to the ward and discharge, as well as to strictly adhere to the treatment schedule while optimizing it to reduce the waiting time for prescribed tests during hospitalization.Research limitations/implications: The article presents the results of literature research, which can be complemented in further studies on this topic. One limitation of the research is the relatively narrow group of patients who completed the satisfaction assessment survey, both in terms of the number of patients, geographical area, and the number of hospital facilities. Additionally, the study only presented attributes related to the organization and the quality of the hospitalization process, without delving into broader topics related to personnel or material conditions, which likely also influence the level of patient satisfaction. These limitations point towards directions for future research. Practical implications: The results of the conducted research can have practical applications in the business field. Satisfaction assessment surveys completed by hospitalized patients from various hospitals will identify areas where patient satisfaction is the lowest. Consequently, 10 N. Baskiewicz, M. Daroń, A.

Additionally, the Kano methodology will indicate which attributes that determine the quality of the hospitalization process are most significant to pati...

“…An efficient and effective institutional system may importantly contribute to boosting the investment attractiveness of countries and impact FDI flows. 49 The cited studies have shown that there is a relationship between the quality of governance, the quality of the institutional system and the investment attractiveness of a country. In this way, it can be pointed out that the business environment organizations can be an important element in this arrangement of economic relations.…”

The authors of the conceptual article took up the topic of the sectoral model of chambers of commerce (of trade, of industry and commerce, etc.). This proposal complements the taxonomy of chambers present in the literature, based on three main models: continental, Anglo-Saxon and mixed. A comparative worldwide analysis of chambers of commerce indicates their significant diversity, but also the significant impact of historical and social conditions on their organization, position and effectiveness. Therefore, their system should be designed adequately to the needs of a given country, rather than directly transferring foreign or historical solutions into the domestic context. Present Polish chambers of commerce function as voluntary organizations associating entrepreneurs at various levels: sectoral, national, regional, local and bilateral (as Polish-foreign chambers). However, this solution does not provide effective communication between entrepreneurs and public authorities. Polish studies propose the creation of chambers of commerce in the continental model, which is based on the 19th-century regional structure. The authors argue that this concept is outdated in the era of global economic interconnections. The concentration of knowledge and competences needed today can be more effectively provided by the sectoral model. Sectoral chambers of commerce enable expert specialization appropriate to the needs of entrepreneurs and public authorities. They are also an effective platform for the decentralization of public administration. This model is an original concept of the authors in the discussion about possible evolution of chambers of commerce in the Polish context. Its implementation requires, i.a., proper definition of chambers’ tasks and the inclusion of entrepreneurs in the process of their creation. The discussion in the national press and industry magazines shows that these inquiries are valuable not only for science, but also for entrepreneurs and people responsible for the legislative process. Therefore, the aim of the conducted research was to justify the implementation of the sectoral model in the context of the current Polish practice and the increasing role of expert knowledge.
