Building entrepreneurial companies is associated with taking actions to enable their general development, leading to application of innovative solutions, both in technology and management. Modern economy and pervasive crisis force entrepreneurs to search for alternative means for supporting the progress in order to be able to fight for customers against ‘foreign countries of cheaper production’ and, at the same time, to not being forced to use "drastic" methods of reducing production costs. This paper presents the already existing solutions that are not fully used in Polish reality, which are the network structures (clusters) that have beneficial economic impact and build integrated supply chains. The author is taking a theoretical attempt to connect concept of supply chains and clusters. Consolidation will relieve the individual companies and thereby will create opportunities to take new - common – actions, which together will create entrepreneurial network structure and bring individual benefits.
