Purpose: This article provides an understanding of international retailers’ successes and failures when expanding in the Polish market. Accordingly, the objectives of this article were to define and identify what are the critical factors of success and failures of international retailers’ strategies while expanding in the Polish market according to the retailers themselves. Methodology: Adopting an interpretative research approach, this article elaborates a multiple explanatory case study design to discover how existing theory on internationalization compared to how internationalization is experienced and conceptualized by practitioners in their natural contexts. Findings: Twenty cases were studied among which were found four successful retailers and two who had failed. Coding of categories highlighted five critical success factors and five critical failure factors. Pricing strategy, necessity of adapting operations to local market, learning by doing, e-commerce and early entry timing appeared as factors of success or at least as “facilitating factors.” Choosing the inappropriate entry method, underestimating competition, developing the retail network and retail environment at a slow pace and not giving enough means of abnegation led to failures in Poland. Originality: This article contributes to filling two main gaps identified in the literature review. Many different theoretical approaches exist but no conclusive framework has emerged. Besides, most concepts were developed and tested on western European countries and nothing proved adequate to the specific retail landscape of eastern Europeans countries such as Poland.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been approached in different ways by University faculties, secondary school teachers, and researches. However, the contribution to the ESD system made by international university projects has not been sufficiently discussed in the literature so far. The paper presents a case study and theoretical analysis of the role played by international university cooperation projects aimed at putting into practice the integration of inclass and extra-curriculum activities in ESD. This approach to education for sustainable development has been adopted in the Kaliningrad region (Russian Federation), one of the cross-border Baltic regions. The case study covers all the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. ecological, economic and social development, as well as the improvement of regional environment. Legislative documents and projects developed by federal and regional government are mentioned, as well as obstacles to and prospects for the development of the integrated ESD approach. The project called “Lagoons as crossroads for tourism and interactions of peoples of South-East Baltic: from the history to present” is conducted by three countries and continues the work started in the CROSSROADS project. Its outcomes are used to support the conclusions drawn from existing theoretical approaches.
