Innovativeness and internationalisation of the Polish economy – the transition process perspective

The process of transition of the CEE economies resulted in an increase in their innovativeness and internationalisation. The Polish economy as a transition one has been subject to these processes to a large extent. Due to the fact that innovativeness and internationalisation are perceived as related phenomena, a study of their changes and relationships between them in the transition process may bring interesting cognitive outcomes. The aim of the paper is to describe the changes in the level of innovativeness and internationalisation of the Polish economy when compared with other European economies from the transition process perspective.
