Purpose: Due to the fact that businesses operate in a very volatile and competitive environment, the purpose of this paper is to answer the research question, which was formulated as follows: "Is the tax law conducive to doing business in Poland?". Taking into account the current state of research and the experience of the author of the paper, as a person who runs a tax law office, the following hypothesis was formulated: "Variable and complicated tax regulations make it difficult to do business in Poland". It was assumed that the main purpose of the study is to present the subjective assessment of the surveyed entrepreneurs concerning the tax environment and knowledge of tax solutions to improve the tax settlement system. Design/methodology/approach: In order to achieve the presented goal, literature studies and legal acts concerning the analyzed area were used. For the purpose of examining the Polish tax system, a survey was carried out among the Silesian entrepreneurs. Its aim was to find out the opinion of entrepreneurs on the tax environment. Research methodology – a survey questionnaire containing 9 questions was used. The survey was anonymous. The questions were addressed to company owners. The survey was conducted between March 1 and March 22, 2022. Statistical analysis was also performed. Due to the scale used in the survey questionnaire, measures of correlation - Spearman's coefficient and φ –Yule’s coefficient as well as corresponding tests of significance were selected as appropriate tools for statistical analysis. Findings: The article presents the essence of the tax system and the results of the study aimed at getting to know the opinion of entrepreneurs on the tax environment. On this basis, it was found that the tax laws are extensive and changed too often, which adversely affects running a business. This is highly unfavourable to a sense of security in business. Research limitations/implications: The verification of empirical data concerning the analyzed research problem was based on the use of available data on existing tax laws in Poland. The tax laws of the last 2 years were analyzed. Their analysis confirmed that they are frequently changed. Practical implications: The results of the study show the complexity of the tax system. Analysis of the tax laws revealed that they are frequently changed and amended. Originality/value: The presented research and conclusions will provide practical guidance on the tax changes introduced over the last 2 years. This will increase the comfort of doing business. Based on the results of the analysis of taxes applied by entrepreneurs, it is concluded that frequent changes in tax laws and their misinterpretation have a large impact on the assessment of the entire tax system.

“…In the market economy, competition is a fundamental requirement of business activity and allocation mechanism of economic resources in place. Competitiveness consists in an effective operation of businesses in a turbulent competitive environment (Wolak-Tuzimek et al, 2021, p. 284) Competitiveness has a range of aspects (Łukiewska, Juchniewicz, 2021) rooted in economics, management, history, politics, and culture and is a complex, multidimensional and relative notion whose meaning changes over time and depends on a context, is synonymous with economic power and addressed at diverse levels, including the level of a nation (Doan, 2021;Terzić, 2021), region (Le, Duy, 2021), sector (Cong, Thu, 2020;Srivastava et al, 2006), and enterprise (Mat, Cevger, 2022;Maráková et al, 2021).…”

The paper provides a theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial ecosystems with strong focus on start-up ecosystem. The empirical purpose of the study is to identify the key actors, institutions and organisations which can provide a nurturing environment and services for the creation of the start-up ecosystem of the city of Poznań with regard to business-sciencegovernment collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: The research applies the method of in-depth semi-structured direct interview with experts in the field of support services to potential founders and start-ups with academic origin, the case study method, participatory observation, and reflection. The explorative qualitative study uses both descriptive and explanatory techniques. Findings: The research findings provide insight in the real nature of the local start-up ecosystem presenting its key stakeholders, the scope of their support and ways of creating a conducive environment for potential founders and start-ups. The research results highlight the importance of studying the interdependencies among key actors in the start-up ecosystem in order to provide them with necessary resources and to stimulate the synergy effect. Research limitations/implications: Research limitations resulting from the analysis of a purposefully-selected case of the start-up ecosystem do not allow formulating general conclusions. Nevertheless, it illustrates a real business practice and challenges of the development of the specific entrepreneurial ecosystem. Future research line will concern an in-depth analysis of the most critical obstacles in the process of start-up creation as well as the assessment of the interdependencies among the key stakeholders of the start-up ecosystem to look for more effective cooperation. Practical implications: The synthesis of the current reflections on entrepreneurial ecosystems and the research findings reflected here can benefit both employees of business incubators, researchers, and entrepreneurship teachers and become an inspiration for further analysis and extended research on problems associated with increasing the efficiency and sustainability of local start-up ecosystems and the need to build valuable relationships with key stakeholders. Originality/value: The originality of the conducted exploratory research lies in presenting the real business practice and challenges of the development of the specific entrepreneurial ecosystem, and thus contribute to the discussion on the dilemmas associated with conducting the more effective practice-oriented research on start-up ecosystems.

“…This is due to the fact that competitiveness is a complex issue [14]. The reference literature defines competitiveness in many ways, although a generally acceptable definition does not exist [15,16]. This is a consequence of the fact that it can refer to various analysis levels [17,18] and is analysed according to at least three economic theories-the theories of economic growth, international trade, and microeconomics [19,20].…”

“…We defined agricultural competitiveness as the sector's ability to function and develop successfully in the face of existing competition, as measured by its production potential and the outcomes of its use. There are several different approaches to the issues of competitiveness, including its assessment [15,17]. Previous studies on the competitiveness of agriculture in the European Union have focused mostly on a selected aspect of this phenomenon.…”

The need to monitor changes in the level of agricultural competitiveness of EU member states necessitates the development of an appropriate set of indicators to answer the question of whether a country is improving its competitive position. This paper proposes a synthetic measure for assessing the agricultural competitiveness in the member states of the European Union (EU) from 2012 to 2021. Statistics on the respective indicators were derived from the Eurostat database and Agri-Food Data Portal. The survey was based on linear ordering using a standardised sums approach. This implies that member states vary in competitiveness in the agricultural sector. From 2012 to 2021, the most competitive countries were Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Simultaneously, the rankings of agricultural competitiveness changed over the 10 years under review. The highest improvement rates were recorded in Finland, Slovakia, and Ireland. However, the differences between the old and new member states are still explicit. None of the new member states of the EU were in the top ten with regard to their agricultural competitiveness. Many areas associated with agriculture in these countries require considerable improvement. We also carried out a principal component analysis (PCA), which allowed us to identify the parameters conveying relevant information on the analysed phenomenon and unveil the hidden structures in the primary data set. We discovered that the share of the EU’s agricultural output in the EU exports of agricultural products explained variations in the agricultural competitiveness within member states.
