This paper identifies key factors that influence the creation and development of born global firms (BG). These factors are divided into two groups: external and internal. In fact, all the factors determine and increase international orientation in many small and new enterprises. It is difficult to clearly identify which of them are the most important. Assuming, however, that external factors are independent of the company, they may be said to bear equally on the decision to develop internationally. Thus, access to knowledge about foreign markets, international management experience, skills, innovation and the ability to use network relationships in international business, and therefore factors related to the characteristics of the company founder of born global, are those that more closely influence the decision to expand internationally. In addition to globally-oriented founders/managers, who forced the rapid internationalisation of the company, another major factor in the formation of BG is the presence of a specialised, highly technologically advanced product. Having such a product will require new markets to be sought out abroad because, among other reasons, local markets are limited and the product has a shortened life cycle.

The article assesses the level of economic internationalisation and the socio-economic development of Poland’s regions and determines the correlations between the two phenomena. The analysis is based on several indices divided into ten components characterising the processes of internationalisation and socio-economic development. Instead of the standard procedure for verifying the preliminary list of indices (mostly based on correlation indices), a simulation has been used – 10,000 sets of random chosen indices to calculate the composite indices for each component. The final composite measures have been calculated as the mean of those 10,000 composite indices. This procedure allowed the authors to identify the differences in final results of analysis emerging from different sets of indices taken to assess the composite measures.

Presented paper is supposed to contribute to a discussion and arguments on two key methodological aspects of the research attitudes towards globalisation. The first one consists in the reasoning and defining of globalisation as a qualitatively new phase of world economy development, fundamentally different from internationalisation. Globalisation is related to a transition towards a new stage of human civilisation, the result of which is its recent process connected to a sharpening of the several contradictions, mostly in economic, social and ecological area. Based on this fact, the author derives a need for the second methodological aspect which requires a constructive-critical approach to its exploring that will be able to create scientific foundation for overcoming of its contradictions.

This study explores accounts of Polish ERASMUS students who had taken part in a study abroad year in a British university. The objective was to investigate if prior knowledge of studying psychology in one country mediates the experience in another and to discuss how participants found the process of integration in relation to studying in a different country. Focus group interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis technique. Some challenging contrasting pedagogical and epistemological differences between the two systems emerged and integration between home and ERASMUS students was reported as being low level. Discussions about how these findings can be related to the aims of ERASMUS and the wider remit of internationalization are offered.

Based on two recent publications by the Regius Professors of Modern History in Oxford and Cambridge, Robert and Richard Evans, this review article discusses the long-standing professional relationship of British historians with the European Continent. For several reasons, the early made distinction between British and European history persists to this day, and the latter forms the second, albeit smaller and in the history of historiography often neglected, core of the British historiographical tradition. What is more, both Evanses argue that British scholarship on the history of Continental Europe has been remarkably influential, at home as well as abroad. The reasons for this “success story” are manifold and provide us, among others, with an insight into the diversity of the national “history markets”. It becomes obvious that European historians should engage in a debate on the degree of openness of their communities to insights from outside, because: despite all the claims of internationalisation and globalisation, historians do not always practise what they preach – neither in Britain nor on the Continent.

The ongoing globalisation of the world economy has a considerable impact on the de-velopment of regions and their competitiveness. Contemporary learning regions must face numerous challenges. The present paper discusses the following challenges for regional competitiveness: (i) innovation as a key to regional competitiveness, (ii) metropolisation, (iii) internationalisation of regions, (iv) networking of regional economies, and (v) creativity at the national and regional level.
