Summary/Abstract: The article is a presentation of the results of the analysis, which attempts to compare changes in the competitive position of Poland and other countries of the Visegrad Group (GW-4) in the years 2004–2015. It has been assumed that Poland should be among those GW-4 countries, in which the effects of membership were most clearly differentiated. An important part of this analysis was to assess which of the factors determining this position had the greatest impact on the changes in the analysed period. The study used secondary data analysis on the pillars of economic competitiveness available in reports “Global Competitiveness Report”, prepared by the World Economic Forum. The article ends with a summary of the most important conclusions resulting from the presented analysis.
