Wpływ relacji z otoczeniem na ekonomiczno-społeczny wymiar funkcjonowania małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w województwie lubuskim
The impact of the relationship with the environment on the economic and social dimension of the functioning of small and medium-sized enterprises in t

Summary/Abstract: Political changes that were initiated in Poland in the last decade of the 20th century brought new challenges to small and medium-sized enterprises. Changes began to take shape in the perception of the function and role of enterprises in an environment in which they had to act. A relationship was recognized between establishing a lasting cooperation with entities functioning in the market and the achievement of greater benefits, not only in financial but also non-financial terms. The main objective of the study was to identify the relationship created by the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Lubuskie Voivodeship with market participants, to determine the desired courses of action in terms of the enterprises’ construction, and to demonstrate the impact of these relationships on the socio-economic dimension of enterprises. The study adopted the idea that changes in the market, including rapidly growing competition, and what goes along with it, a transformation in consumer behavior, suggest the need for the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises to be active in shaping relations with the environment, contributing to the achievement of benefits in the socio-economic dimension, becoming a key success factor, and as a consequence, contributing to the survival and development of enterprises in the market. The study shows that small and medium-sized enterprises concentrate not only on achieving profits, but also on building lasting relationships with suppliers, customers, clients and other enterprises functioning in the market. It has been found that effective functioning, including the survival and development, is achieved by maintaining positive relationships with the participants of the market game. In this study we have used the analysis of the literature, the Central Statistical Office statistical data and survey results supported by categorized direct interviews with the representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Lubuskie Voivodeship.
