Determining the scope and extent of the use of benchmarking in the surveyed enterprises from the province of Warmia and Mazury was the main goal of this paper. The surveys conducted showed that benchmarking is not used on a wide scale in Poland. This method was applied by only 17% of the enterprises surveyed. Those were mainly large enterprises in which the value of assets exceeds EUR 5 million. The high costs to the enterprises and labour input required for implementation, as well as maintaining the method in the enterprise were the main barriers to implementation of the method in enterprises.
