The article presents results of research on relation between productivity of firms from Lodz Voivodeship and their international expansion by exports, imports of intermediate and capital goods and foreign direct investment (FDI). It has been proved, that firms engaged in international activities are more effective, especially firms conducting FDI are the most productive. Two main hypotheses of the so called New New Trade Theory were tested: the self-selection hypothesis (high productivity leads to internationalisation) and the learning- -by-doing hypothesis (internationalisation leads to increase of productivity). The self-selection among region’s firms was proved. On the other hand, the results concerning learning effects turned out to be statistically insignificant. However, due to drawbacks of available data, there are premises for not unequivocally rejecting the learning-by- -doing hypothesis.

The article describes the learning-by-exporting (LBE) phenomenon. The first part focuses on theoretical background for analyses. The second one applies to enterprises from Lodz Voivodeship and their perspectives for learning. The research is based on a survey conducted among firms from the region. The results indicate, that learning is not of prime concern to exporters, however, there are premises for a statement that LBE may occur in a longer period.

The purpose of this article was to outline the area of research on de-internationalization in the context of Polish enterprises. In order to achieve it, an overview of previous studies was made and an attempt at interpreting the de-internationalization on the basis of the Uppsala model and network approach was presented. The article attempts to identify the most important factors for de-internationalization in the case of Polish companies. The study included the financial statements of companies listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange belonging to electric machinery, chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics industries. In the present study, a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm has been applied. The results show that the key factors influencing the de-internationalization of Polish companies were return on sales in the previous year, growth rate of sales, size of the company and change of the operating costs indicator. The results seem to confirm the thesis that the main factor in export competitiveness of Polish enterprises is low production costs.

The main goal of the paper was to evaluate changes in Polish fruit and vegetable exports between 2004–2012 and to identify the main export destinations of representatives of 107 the primary market of fruits and vegetables from the Lower Silesian voivodeship. For the purpose of the research, data from the International Trade Centre (ITC) was used. The author also used the method of a case study – fruit and vegetable producer organisations and groups from the Lower Silesian voivodeship were the focus of the research. The analysis allowed the steady growth of fruit and vegetable exports between 2004- 2012 to be identified from Poland as a whole, with the main importing markets being Germany and Russia. The same directions were characteristic among subjects from the Lower Silesian voivodeship.

The article is devoted to the issues of raising the profitability of stationary apiaries in Poland. The research basis is the characteristics of the branch based on the annual reports of the Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Puławy, the calculation of revenues and costs as well as the assets. The right measurement of profitability comes down to determining the profit threshold and establishing the value of ROA (return-on-assets) and ROS (return-on-sale) ratios depending on the size of the farm and the distribution channel. In the further part of the article various methods of improving the results are considered. They have been gathered in three main areas: reduction of costs, mechanization and the utilization of economies of scale as well as widening the range of offered products (bee pollen, nuclei). The aim of my research is proving that the establishing and developing of apiaries brings financia l benefits and that there is a huge space allowing beekeepers to improve their financial results.

Artykuł poświęcony został podnoszeniu rentowności pasiek stacjonarnych w Polsce. Podstawą badawczą jest tu charakterystyka branży oparta o coroczne raporty Instytutu Kwiaciarstwa i Sadownictwa w Puławach oraz kalkulacja przychodów i kosztów oraz składników majątku. Właściwy pomiar zyskowności sprowadza się do wyznaczenia progów rentowności i ustalenia wartości wskaźników ROA i ROS w zależności od rozmiaru gospodarstw i kanału dystrybucji. W dalszej części rozpatrywane są różne metody prowadzące do poprawy otrzymanych wyników zamknięte w trzech obszarach: redukcji kosztów, mechanizacji i wykorzystania efektów skali produkcji, oraz poszerzenia oferty o nowe produkty (pyłek pszczeli, odkłady). Celem badań jest udowodnienie zasadności zakładania i rozwijania pasiek z uwagi na korzyści materialne a także wykazanie, że istnieje znacząca przestrzeń pozwalająca na poprawę wyników finansowych.
