Współpraca pomiędzy uczelniami jako element rozwoju potencjału konkurencyjnego
Cooperation between Universities as an Element of Development of Competitive Potential

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article was to analyze the benefits, barriers and perspectives for the development of inter-school cooperation in Poland. A review of the literature on various forms of cooperation, competition and coopetition in the environment of higher education institutions as well as challenges connected with them were presented. Subsequently, pilot in-depth interviews with decision-makers from universities educating in social sciences were conducted and analyzed. The main conclusion is that cooperation between universities, in particular cooperation with a stronger partner, is considered to be beneficial. In practice, however, there are numerous barriers that make this cooperation very limited, mainly due to operating in conditions of competition for students and funds for scientific and research activities. Therefore, cooperation with a reputable foreign partner seems to be nowadays the most desirable form of cooperation.
