Özet:

 

During an era of globalization, technological development and changes in competition have transformed the role of traditionalfactors of industrial location.  It may seem that the possibilities of speedy re-locations of different factors of  production enable enterprises to locate their economic activity anywhere to realise  competitive advantage. However, in reality we observe a tendency for spatial  concentration of economic activity and clusters are becoming a striking feature of  increasingly complex economy. The paper focuses on the process of development  of clusters in Poland and their impact on the competitiveness, which may be  analyzed from micro-, meso- and macroeconomic perspective. After joining the  European Union, there has been a dynamic creation of clusters in different sectors  of Polish economy. The aim of the research is to identify the most important  benefits resulting from that process. One of the greatest advantage from clusters is  that they constitute the best diagnosed method for stimulating the horizontal  cooperation in the economy, which is a central element in modern innovation  processes. This assumption is verified in this article on the basis of data collected  in survey research conducted in 2012 on 50 cluster coordinators and 350 firms  belonging to cluster initiatives. Clusters positively contribute to economic  competitiveness, so they can act as growth poles for the economy at regional and  national level, which is a reason for the popularity of the concept of cluster-based  economic policy. Since cluster concept has become a significant element of  modern economic policy, it is important to examine the instruments used in  Poland in order to support creation and development of clusters.
