Konkurencyjność technologiczna polskiej gospodarki.Stan obecny i perspektywy zmian
Technological competitiveness of the Polish economy

Summary/Abstract: An important contemporary problem of international economics – in the context of reducingthe distance between emerging or developing and developed economies – is to identify pillarsor areas determining the international competitiveness of the economy. This can be a significantpremise for introducing changes to the national policy and instruments used within it. The aimof the article is to attempt to identify technological factors of competitiveness that stimulate andhinder the development of the Polish economy in the second decade of the 21st century and toassess the distance between Poland and the European Union economies in terms of technologicalpotential. The study will use methods of a statistical multidimensional analysis – taxonomic methods,such as: a synthetic index, similarity of objects to the development pattern and a distancebetween objects (states). The taxonomic procedure, which will allow to construct rankings of thetechnological competitiveness of European Union countries, refers to the values of diagnosticfeatures characterizing a given object, i.e. the state economy in the context of technological changes. The empirical study is based on an original model, i.e. an integrated model of technologicalcompetitiveness, whose explanatory value relates to, among others, the opportunity to learn aboutthe sources and ways to increase the technological potential, as well as its use in creating the competitivenessof the international economy, economic growth and socio-economic development.Based on the analyses carried out, recommendations for a state policy and conclusions regardingthe strategy of building technological capacity will be formulated, with an emphasis on threatsand challenges that the Polish economy will face in the future.
