This study examines the cooperation between high-technology firms and institutions aimed at supporting the development of enterprises, such as national agencies and public education institutions, in emerging markets. The research uses qualitative research methods—namely, multiple case studies. An empirical analysis was conducted in 26 high-tech enterprises from emerging market: Poland, including hyper-growth organizations. This study explores the support of the institutions as well as cooperation between firms and public institutions from a managerial perspective. The major problems and obstacles that these firms faced are identified, as are ways of coping with them. The research results extend existing studies by providing empirical insights from high-tech firms in one of the emerging markets in Central Europe.
