Głównym celem artykułu było sporządzenie szerokiego rankingu krajów z punktu widzenia negatywnych konsekwencji globalnego kryzysu gospodarczego. Do mierzenia wpływu globalnego kryzysu na poszczególne gospodarki skonstruowano syntetyczny wskaźnik aktywności gospodarczej uwzględniający zmiany pięciu zmiennych makroekonomicznych: PKB per capita, eksport dóbr i usług, stopa bezrobocia, kapitalizacja spółek giełdowych i napływ netto bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych (BIZ). Na tej podstawie zidentyfi kowano kraje, na które kryzys wpłynął najbardziej i najmniej negatywnie. Wskazano także kraje, które miały największe i najmniejsze trudności w powrocie do przedkryzysowego poziomu rozwoju gospodarczego. Pierwszy ranking (obejmujący 52 kraje) pokazuje zmiany syntetycznego wskaźnika pomiędzy 2007 r. i 2009 r., ilustrując bezpośredni negatywny wpływ kryzysu na poszczególne gospodarki. Drugi ranking (obejmujący 42 kraje) ukazuje zmiany syntetycznego wskaźnika między 2007 r. i 2012 r., ilustrując zdolności poszczególnych gospodarek w przezwyciężaniu skutków kryzysu i przywracaniu poprzedniego poziomu aktywności.

The main aim of the article was to elaborate a worldwide ranking of countries showing the negative effects of the global economic crisis. In order to measure the impact of the global crisis on the individual economies, the authors have constructed a composite indicator of economic activity including fi ve macroeconomic variables: per capita GDP, exports of goods and services, unemployment rate, stock market capitalization and net FDI infl ows. Using this indicator, they have identifi ed countries most and least affected by the global crisis, taking also into consideration the ability to restore the pre-crisis development level. The fi rst ranking (covering 52 countries) shows the change of the synthetic indicator between 20007 and 2009, illustrating the direct adverse effect of the crisis on the economies concerned. The second ranking (covering 42 countries) shows the change of the synthetic indicator between 2007 and 2012, illustrating the ability of individual economies to overcome the effects of the crisis and to restore the pre-crisis activity levels.

В статье анализируются последствия глобального экономического кризиса для отдельных стран и вычисляется степень отрицательных последствий для каждой из них. Для замера влияния глобального кризиса на отдельные экономики был создан синтетический показатель экономической активности, учитывающий изменения пяти макроэкономических переменных: ВВП на душу населения, экспорт товаров и услуг, норму безработицы, капитализации компаний, чьи акции котируются на бирже и притока нетто прямых иностранных инвестиций (ПИИ). На этой основе были выявлены страны, на которые кризис оказал наибольшее или наименьшее отрицательное влияние. Были также указаны страны, у которых были самые большие и самые незначительные трудности по пути к достижению докризисного уровня экономического развития. Первый упорядоченный список (охватывающий 52 страны) показывает изменения синтетического показателя между 2007 и 2009 гг., иллюстрируя прямое отрицательное воздействие кризиса на отдельные экономики. Второй список (охватывающий 42 страны) показывает изменения синтетического показателя между 2007 и 2012 гг. и иллюстрирует способности отдельных экономик к преодолению последствий кризиса и восстановлению предыдущего уровня активности.

Corporate groups are specific types of business networks that generate particular advantages for firms. They allow corporates to reduce costs, develop the pool of resources and increase the flexibility of operations and responses to external shocks among others. The above mentioned benefits are of even greater importance during times of economic turbulence. Their involvement in a corporate group should theoretically allow firms to perform better. The aim of this study is to verify whether corporate group membership truly translated into a firm’s higher input competitiveness and a firm’s better performance during the recent economic crisis. First, we try to investigate if the input competitiveness is higher in the case of firms being members of corporate groups. Second, we test whether the involvement in a corporate group matters for the performance of the firms. Using critical in-depth literature studies and conducting the primary empirical research using the CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) method we strive to verify the following hypothesis - the higher a company’s input competitiveness during the economic crisis, the better a competitive position the company achieves. The empirical research encompasses more than 700 corporates from the manufacturing sector in Poland during the global economic crisis and shortly afterwards. To investigate the issue we use the following methods of statistical analysis – cluster analysis, non-parametric tests and correlation coefficients. The results of the study show that firms involved in both Polish and international corporate groups were more resilient during the economic crisis than those which were not.

Since its beginning, the European Union has transformed, undergoing many stages of integration, from its origins as a free trade zone, to a customs union, on to a common market, then to an economic monetary union. The establishment of the euro zone was an economic plan aiming to increase the competitiveness of the European economy. At present this economic plan is being embraced by the Polish economy. In this context, the prospect of our country, joining the monetary union, from the perspective of Polish companies, is of particular importance. The main aim of this paper is to attempt to recognize whether Poland’s access to the euro zone is perceived as an opportunity or a threat by Polish managers. First, the authors, by quoting literature written on the subject will present the opportunities and threats related to the functioning of the economic monetary union, then illustrate how they pertain to Poland. This overview is accompanied by empirical research, which took a form of direct interviews conducted in 230 companies from all over Poland.

The goal of the paper is to present, using the indicators of economic activity, how Polish economy coped with the last global economic crisis compared to another EU country - Greece, which faced huge difficulties while trying to get back to the pre-crisis levels of economic development. In the first part of the paper the origins of the global economic crisis are briefly characterized. Then the results of a synthetic analysis of indicators of economic activity based on data from the World Development Indicators database are presented. The analysis is based on data describing the economic situation within the Polish and Greek economy. Both countries were chosen purposefully. Finally, referring to the results of the research of other authors, the micro-economic dimension of the consequences of the crisis within the Polish and the Greek economy is signaled.
