This paper reviews theoretical suggestions concerning the conceptualisation of economic culture that were made in a series of publications on the cultural dimension of post-communist transformation by the Institute for Research on Eastern Europe in Bremen. Analyses are made particularly of the points where culture on the one hand and institutions, social capital and civil society on the other overlap and differ and from these comparisons consequences are drawn for use of the concept of economic culture in transformation research. The article concludes that economic culture is a conceptual category in its own right, neither irreducible to the level of institutions, in the sense that institutional economics understands them, nor to social capital or civil society. If, moreover, economic culture is to be used as a tool for explaining socio-economic processes, its strict separation from institutions, social capital and civil society is essential.

The features of economic culture of the Polish society, revealed in the process of deepening contacts with the West, are considered. The guiding hypothesis is that the processes of institutional transformation and the economic changes initiated in 1989 must have been affected by the cultural legacy of state socialism and of the pre-communist past. The article presents a preliminary, pilot phase of research. The core of the study consisted of twenty in-depth interviews with foreign and Polish businessmen and managers, who faced 'the other side' in the course of their business contacts. The results of this research suggest a generally positive appraisal by Poles of western economic culture, combined with a rather limited understanding of its deeper patterns, an ambiguous character of individualistic attitudes, and an uneven pace of cultural adjustment of different groups to the challenges posed by international economic cooperation.
