Mariusz Bratnicki and Roman Krys

Scandinavian Journal of Management, 1992, vol. 8, issue 3, 193-200

Abstract: This paper reports on the results of empirical studies on strategic trends in Polish companies. In these studies, a contingency approach to the corporate management process was applied, and strategies were examined with reference to their adaptability to changes in the environment. The results refer to the following dimensions and indicators of corporate relationship with product market, the strategic mobility of resource deployment, orientation towards internationalization, long-term resource accumulation, competitive orientation, bases for strategy formulation and orientation towards development. These results were compared to the results of studies carried out in American and Japanese companies. It has been found that in spite of many similarities Polish companies are far less eager for strategic change than their American and Japanese counterparts.
