In order to determine the impact of investments carried out by enterprises with foreign capital on trade in Poland the author carried out a comparative analysis of the state and structure of tangible assets of foreign and national commercial enterprises, the way the firms are organised, and management of the sphere of purchases and sales. The analysis comprised the years 2008-2013. The basis for the analyses was CSO’s data (the recent available are from the year 2013) as well as other materials from secondary sources (articles, papers, Internet’s resources) and own surveys on the organisation of retail and wholesale trade.
