Our knowledge about the scope and scale of SMEs participation in global economic flows is rather small. Few studies of the issue show limited export potential of the sector and concentrate on numerous barriers faced by smaller firms on the world market. Does the low share of SMEs in exports mean that internationalisation of the sector is very limited? Disintegration of business activities that can be observed now covers almost all spheres of economic activity - from R&D to distribution and from manufacturing to office services. The cases shown in the paper confirm that today's business environment is more conductive to expansion of SMEs cooperating with larger companies than ever before. More, it seems that current changes in business organisation might be of great importance for SMEs internationalisation. So, positive patterns of SMEs cooperation with large internationalized companies give us an idea about the exact ways in which smaller companies can participate in global trade. It is argued in the paper that traditional understanding of foreign trade has restricted value for the analysis of SMEs presence in the global market because it provides underestimated share of SMEs' in worldwide trade. It seems that to cover the role of all firms which products are sold abroad - no matter of the character of their contribution - extended approach to the studies of international trade should be applied. In this approach both passive and active participation, direct and indirect ones should be taken into account to get entire image of the SMEs role in global market.

The growing importance of services is seen in the modern world as a requirement for civilisation’s proper economic development. Services began to expand in the mid-twentieth century, and have gone on to become a leading economic sphere in highly developed countries. Increased efficiency often has a decisive impact on the productivity and competitiveness of economies and GDP. At the same time, it has started a constant evolution of the requirements, resulting in the quick development of specialist companies that meet market expectations. Global transactions require from market participants up-to-date knowledge of international regulations. Continuous training of employees is not only expensive but also does not allow operators to focus on their core business, which is why they come more and more to rely on the purchase of professional services that meet their expectations. The transnational movement of services is therefore the result of the use of the latest assistive technology and knowledge of the global economy. It is not only their reach and accessibility that accounts for the popularity of services, but also the opportunity to acquire specialised services. One result of this popularity has been the development of financial and accounting outsourcing.

It shows crucial elements which determine how smoothly the BPO companies function on the market and their prosperity. Because of that BPO is one of the most dynamic and fast growing services sector today in the Polish economy and it is worth taking a closer look to examine this interesting case more carefully.

In western countries outsourcing has been an integral part of many enterprises for a long time. In Poland it is increasingly seen as a part of a long-term development strategy. Although Poland is only beginning to mark its presence in this area, it is quite often listed as one of the countries with a great potential to attract outsourcing. Among the competitive advantages of our country are geographical and cultural proximity to the markets of Western Europe, European Union membership, steady growth of direct foreign investments and highly qualified labor with knowledge of various European languages. Due to the above-mentioned advantages, many Polish cities easily compete with European business centers. The most successful of them are Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Lodz and Tricity. Analyzing outsourcing in Poland, we cannot forget its impact on region and on social processes like education, accommodation, traveling. The most important benefits from locating outsourcing companies in our country are the ability to attract further investment, additional revenues for the Treasury from taxes, lower unemployment rate, and finally stimulation of various social initiatives.

The fact that the global market of outsourcing has been steadily expanding for the last few years indicates that outsourcing is an effective tool to increase the efficiency of enterprises. Among the effects of outsourcing of functions and processes, or their parts, are changes in the organizational structure and associated with them: reduction of employment and shifts in the division of work in the original location of the company. This kind of activity affects the internal job market through remuneration levels, as well as the external market as a result of restricted employment and dismissing staff. As research shows, there is no evidence of strong negative influence of outsourcing on wages or on unemployment rates. There is, however, a link between the quality of human resources, their remuneration and subcontracting of work to outside providers. The aim of this article is to address the question: What new phenomena have emerged in the labour market (with particular attention to the Central and Eastern European markets) as a result of the use of outsourcing in business?
