Competitiveness and diversification of clusters in


Competitiveness and diversification of clusters in

Poland by region

Before 2001 in Poland there were no clusters –

why?

� In the Lodz region there were many active SMEs,

� A lot of people wanted to launch their own business,

� A “spirit of entrepreneurship” was noticeable

An example of the Lodz region

but there were a number of main factors that restricted development:

� A historical stigma – distrust (towards authorities, other

entrepreneurs and institutions),

� Economy in transition,

� Lack social capital,

� Lack of specialization – everyone is doing the same (the same

product, market, customer).
