Configuring Organisational Resources and Coordinating Business Operations in the Practice of Polish MNEs: Towards Excellence in International Management?
Kuzel, Marcin
The starting point for discussion in the paper is the belief that being present on international markets offers only an opportunity, not a guarantee, of benefiting from internationalisation, in particular in relation to the most advanced transaction “Ot” advantages (according to the OLI paradigm). Thus, the following paper focuses on two main aspects of international management, i.e. the spatial configuration of organisational resources and the coordination of business operations, which both largely condition benefits from multinationality. The main purpose of this study is to assess the degree of resource configuration and activity coordination among MNEs representing the so-called latecomers in the global economy (in this case MNEs from Poland). In order to achieve this goal, we use firm-level data obtained from a survey conducted among Polish MNEs and their foreign affiliates. Our findings indicate that resource configuration and activity coordination are limited among the surveyed enterprises (they remain at a medium level). Although Polish MNEs report benefits from undertaking international activities, the majority of them are not yet able to maximise the results at the current stage of their development.

Development Factors of Polish Subsidiaries in The United States
Kuczmarska, Magdalena; Jaworek, Małgorzata; Kuzel, Marcin
The paper presents results of a firm-level survey carried out between 2016 and 2017 among Polish companies who made foreign direct investment in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to identify FDI development determinants among Polish enterprises in the US market as well as to find out about the discrepancies in their perception between representatives of different business sectors i.e. enterprises from traditional and new technologies industries. The results of the study indicate that regardless of the sector, Polish enterprises seek the determinants of development of their subsidiaries in the USA primarily in the internal factors, i.e. unique and sustainable ownership-specific advantages. The ownership advantages – together with external location factors such as the demand, the ease of doing business and the business environment – affect most the development of Polish direct investment companies in the USA. There were significant differences between the assessment made by traditional and new technologies enterprises in relation to resource factors, efficiency factors and the competition in the USA.
