Abstract:

It can be argued that since the beginning of the transformation of the economic system in Poland, the organization of obtaining FDI has improved. The primary objective of the study is to analyze the changes in the promotion of Poland and the quality of service of foreign investors since the turn of the transformation. The secondary objectives are: identification of institutions involved in the acquisition of FDI and characteristics of their activities, and finally evaluation of the effectiveness of promotional activities in Poland. The study was mostly prepared on the basis of material obtained in the State Foreign Investment Agency (PAIZ) and the website of the Polish Agency for Information and Foreign Investment (PAIiIZ), and also based on interviews with employees of these institutions.
