Poland: Report on Competitiveness 2018. The Role of Cities in Creating Competitive Advantages is the latest edition of a long-standing series of comparative research on the main trends in the development of Polish economy, which has been conducted in the World Economy Research Institute of Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) since the mid-1980 s. The main objective of this book is to identify changes of Poland's competitive position in 2010-2017, taking into account the competitiveness of cities and specifying factors affecting their competitive position in 2017. The competitiveness of economies is defined in the book, by pointing to its manifestations, which primarily include an increase in the level of well-being of society while ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources and a proportional division of benefits and costs of economic growth. The definition also includes the international dimension of competitiveness, which is reflected in strengthening the position of domestic goods and services on foreign markets and in improving the attractiveness of a given territory for foreign production factors (especially the attractiveness for foreign direct investment).The research presented in this monograph concentrates on the competitive position of Poland in comparison with other analyzed countries, which after the systemic transformation in the 1990s became part of the European Union following its enlargement in 2004, 2007 and 2013.
