The best models of bankruptcy prediction have been selected that can indicate the deteriorating situation of a company several years before bankruptcy occurs. There are a lot of methods for evaluating the financial statements of enterprises, but only a few can assess a company as a whole and recognise sufficiently early the deteriorating financial standing of a business. The matrix method was used to classify companies in order to assess the models. The correctness of the classification made by the models was tested based on data covering a period of five years before the bankruptcy of enterprises. To analyse the effectiveness of these discriminant models, the financial reports of manufacturing companies were used. Analysis of 33 models of bankruptcy prediction shows that only 5 models were characterized by sufficient predictive ability in the five years before the bankruptcy of enterprises. The results obtained show that so far a unique, accurate, optimal model, by which companies could be assessed with very high efficiency, has not been identified. That is why it is vital to continue research related to the construction of models enabling accurate evaluation of the financial condition of businesses.

Research background: From the perspective of managers and shareholders, obtaining profit is the main goal and driver of company activity. A profitable company can find investors easily, because they count on a big return on investment. However, enterprises that are not effective enough could end up being taken over by others, go bankrupt or shut down business. Purpose of the article: is to identify the impact of a high share of equity in the total assets on the profitability of manufacturing companies. Methods: The focus of this paper is on the manufacturing sector. Research time-scale is set to sixteen years (2000–2015). The choice of this period is determined by data availability. In the examined interval of time over 15 thousand firms from the sector in question were flirted drawn from the EMIS. The gathered data enabled computation of the following financial indicators for the itemized companies: gross margin, operating margin, return on sales, return on assets, and return on equity. Then selection of companies was carried out to choose these with a high share of equity in its total assets. The proportion was regarded to be high if it reaches fifty one percent. Companies with quantities below this threshold have been excluded from the sample. The next step defines intervals (classes) for the equity ratio. Depending on the value of equity, the remaining firms were assigned to their corresponding class. In order to analyze influence of the quantity of equity on the level of profitability t-Student test for independent samples has been applied. Findings & Value added: The comparative analysis of the indicator of the size of equity with the indicators of profitability makes it possible to confirm that there is a significant impact on the value of profitability ratios of manufacturing companies. However, in most cases the impact is statistically irrelevant.

The article presents change in the object of study of the industrial geography in Poland that took place in the late twentieth century with a context in the internal and external conditions of the functioning of the industrial activities. A kind of barometer of the impact of internal and external conditions for the functioning of industrial units and the scale of regional integration in this area can be achieved by studying the economic situation also known as business tendency. In this paper the author would like to draw attention to the economic condition survey in industry conducted by the Central Statistics Office (GUS) as an example of modern research in the industrial geography in Poland.

This paper presents the results of investigation on the effectiveness of innovation activities of the Polish manufacturing enterprises. The conducted study enables the author to assess the influence of expenditures on the innovative activity on implementation of marketing and organisational innovations. The results of research indicate that the enterprises achieve the most measurable effects on the organisational innovations through software purchases and expenditures on R&D activity. The implementation of marketing innovation is significantly positively affected by software purchases and expenditures on marketing for new and significantly improved products. Unexpectedly, the expenditures on personnel training connected with innovation activity affect negatively the implementation of marketing and organisational innovations.

Znaczenie bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych dla wzrostu gospodarczego w krajach je goszczących jest tematem często poruszanym przez badaczy, aczkolwiek uzyskiwane przez nich wyniki empiryczne nie dają klarownego wytłumaczenia zjawiska. Podejmowane są liczne próby estymacji efektów obecności kapitału zagranicznego w gospodarce kraju goszczącego w wymiarze wzrostu gospodarczego, poprawy efektywności gospodarowania zasobami, wzrostu zatrudnienia i płac, transferu wiedzy i technologii. Niniejsze opracowanie wpisuje się w nurt, zgodnie z którym wpływ obecności BIZ (Bezpśrednich Inwestycji Zagranicznych) na gospodarkę należy rozpatrywać w ujęciu sekcji wg klasyfikacji PKD (lub na poziomie pojedynczych podmiotów), co pozwala na dokładniejsze oszacowanie efektów w poszczególnych przypadkach niż prezentacja efektu netto w skali makroekonomicznej. W badaniu postanowiono sprawdzić na przykładzie polskiej gospodarki, na ile efekty obecności BIZ w sektorze przetwórczym są zbliżone do tych na poziomie makro. Posłużono się w tym celu danymi rocznymi za lata 1997–2012 oraz wykorzystano techniki modelowania szeregów czasowych z uwzględnieniem testowania stacjonarności i kointegracji. Uzyskane wyniki badań wskazują na istotne znaczenie obecności kapitału zagranicznego zarówno dla gospodarki, jak i dla przemysłu przetwórczego, przy czym zauważalna jest silniejsza zależność drugiej relacji. Nie bez znaczenia jest fakt, że pozytywne efekty BIZ w przypadku gospodarki ujawniają się po dwóch okresach, a w przypadku przemysłu przetwórczego już po jednym. Testy kointegracji potwierdziły występowanie długookresowej relacji pomiędzy zaangażowaniem kapitału zagranicznego w gospodarce (w przetwórstwie przemysłowym) a wartością dodaną brutto w gospodarce (w przetwórstwie przemysłowym)

The impact of Foreign Direct Investment on economic growth in host economies has been widely researched however empirical results are still inconclusive. There exist numerous attempts to estimate the effects of FDI on the host economy in terms of economic growth, improvement of resource efficiency utilizing, employment and wages growth, transfer of knowledge and technology. This study complies with new trend that assume that the impact of the presence of FDI on the economy should be analyzed on sector, industry or even firm level, which allows for a more accurate estimates in individual cases instead of presenting net effect at the macroeconomic level. In the study we decided to check on the example of Polish economy to what extent the effects of the presence of FDI in the manufacturing sector are similar to those at the macro level. We use for this purpose the annual data for the years 1997–2012, and time series modeling techniques, taking into account OLS regression, stationarity tests and cointegration. The obtained results indicate the importance of the presence of foreign capital for the economy as well as the manufacturing where a noticeable relationship is stronger in the second case. Not without significance is the fact that the positive effects of FDI occure in case of the economy after 2 periods, and in the case of manufacturing in one period. Cointegration tests confirmed the existence of a long-term relationship between FDI in the economy (in the sector) and GVA in the economy (in the sector).
