Abstract: This study has been performed in order to assess the return on sales for business enterprises in Eastern Poland, compared to companies in other Polish regions, and to explore how values of this metric have changed between 2007 and 2013. The findings can be summarized as follows: in 2007–2013, the gross return on sales generated by companies in the provinces of Eastern Poland, as well as elsewhere in the country, decreased. However, the dynamics of these changes varied greatly between individual provinces. Within the whole conglomeration of the Polish provinces, certain processes of internal convergence and divergence could be distinguished. Divergent processes were identifiedintwo provinceslocatedinEastern Poland, namely theLubelskie regionand the Podlaskie region, while the other three provinces in the same part of Poland (Podkarpackie, Œwiêtokrzyskie and Warmiñsko-Mazurskie) were observed to undergo convergent processes
