“…A broader definition of competitiveness refers to wealth creation [Aiginger, 2006], or the ability to sell products made in a country on international markets or to attract high-quality resources [Misala, 2014]. This corresponds with the traditional dimensions of competitiveness, which were characterized in several previous editions of this monograph: income competitiveness, investment competitiveness or competitiveness in international trade [Kowalski, 2022;Weresa, 2022]. However, this approach does not cover the complexity of the modern world and has proven insufficient [Aiginger, Vogel, 2015;Kowalski, Weresa, 2019.…”

The goal of this monograph with regard to theory is to broaden knowledge about entrepreneurship as a factor of the competitiveness of economies and to identify the directions of research on competitiveness, which emerged in the literature in response to new challenges of the twenty-first century, including the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, or demographic changes. The empirical analyses aim to determine the current competitive position of the Polish economy vis-à-vis other European Union countries and its changes over the period 2015–2022, taking into account the role of entrepreneurship for the development of competitive advantages, including the formation of start-ups.

Purpose – Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been considered a robust element of globalization that was chiefly immune to financial and economic threats. However, late 2019 introduced international direct investors to COVID-19, a yet unknown risk factor. The aim of this study is to take a holistic perspective and test a research hypothesis of a negative impact of COVID-19 on relative inward FDI activity on the global scale.Research method – FDI is modelled with a series of literature-based determinants including aggregate independent variables that allowed to overcome the issue of too many FDI determinants and model underspecification simultaneously. A series of tests is run on two models (n = 152 and n = 141) to assure their econometric validity.Results – Results show that number of COVID-19 related cases and number of deaths have not had an impact on relative inward FDI on the world scale. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – Unlike most studies, this one exa-mines relative FDI host attractiveness from a global/holistic perspective, which provides additional analytical context. Such determinants as market size, access to qualified labour force and quality of governance are shown to trump risks associated with COVID-19 in determining FDI activity. Policymakers should focus on economic growth, access to qualified labour force and political stability. Hence, lockdown policies were not the optimum solution.

Background: The Visegrad countries are an interesting example of countries that underwent a systemic transition in the 1990s from a command economy to a market economy, which included institutional changes. Research objectives: The article aims to determine the quality of institutions and the international competitiveness of the Visegrad countries. Research design and methods: We conducted the research among the Visegrad countries by analysing changes in the Global Competitiveness Index and based on the currently available data from World Economic Forum reports (2011–2012 and 2019). Results: The results of the analysis of the V4 group regarding the quality of existing institutions show a significant improvement in their position in the global ranking. Conclusions: As a direct result of the research, we could identify areas characterised by high-quality institutions and those that still require change and special consideration by the governments of these countries.
