Over this time the Agency has successfully supported entrepreneurs in completion of projects related to the development and implementation of new technologies, development of human resources and development of foreign cooperation, which are all aimed at improving innovativeness and efficiency. The scale of support we have offered is reflected by the fact that in this period the Agency has concluded nearly 12 thousand support agreements for the amount of nearly PLN 8 billion, while over half a million workers have taken part in training courses and post-graduate studies co-financed from PAED resources. These actions, resulting in the improved competitive position of the economy, are mostly addressed to small and medium-sized enterprises. Support for SMEs, the Agency is focused upon, reflects the role they play in the Polish economy. SMEs sector is not only the most numerous group of companies in Poland, but also a significant employer, employing over 60% of enterprise workers in Poland and generating nearly a half of Polish GDP. This sector has considerably developed in the recent 10 years. The number of SMEs has grown by nearly 100 thousand, whereas the number of SMEs workers has grown by almost 750 thousand persons. Significance of this sector for the development of economy and social welfare is a key issue, while its growth rate indicates that this will be the case also in the future. An important role of SMEs in the domestic economy results from the relatively well- developed entrepreneurship of the Polish society. The Poles are perceived as up-and-coming individuals proud of their companies and own achievements. This inclination to take matters in own hands results in the fact that microenterprises, employing no more than one worker on average, dominate in the economy. On average, these companies are smaller than in the EU and the USA. However, the size of an enterprise does not have to be a key success-driving factor. Observations of the current transformations in the global economy indicate that traditional sources of competitive advantage become less important against completely new competitiveness factors. Economic success is achieved to an ever greater extent by small, young, innovative companies which can flexibly react to changes of the surroundings, competition and specific client requirements. Such companies are capable of rapid development. However, in order to get involved in the dynamic developmental stream, one needs to rely on innovation-oriented human capital. It seems that it is becoming the most valuable developmental factor as never before. Since 2001, the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development has been issuing an annual Report on the condition of small and medium-sized enterprise sector in Poland. Its task is to deliver a reliable and in-depth picture regarding the functioning of SMEs sector in Poland, which could be an inspiration and a valuable contribution in the discussion on the enterprises‘ functioning conditions. This edition addresses the issue of human capital. We encourage you to contact us and share your suggestions with us, so that the following editions of the Report include issues that are of greatest significance to you and inspire a vast group of our Readers to reflect on these aspects. Bożena Lublińska-Kasprzak President of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development 4 Introduction We are presenting the thirteenth edition of the Report on the condition of small and medium- sized enterprise sector, a publication initiated by the Polish Foundation for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, which has been continued since 2001 by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development. Similar as in the previous years, the Report is divided in two parts - a statistical one and an expert one. The first part – a statistical one – presents basic data concerning the small and medium-sized enterprise sector, as well as in-depth analyses related to the condition of particular companies and industry branches, including the comparison with large enterprises. Presented analyses have been prepared on the basis of data ordered by PAED and prepared by the Central Statistical Office. Moreover, the Report uses subsequent editions of CSO study entitled: „Operation of non-financial enterprises‖, as well as data from PONTINFO database, constructed on the basis of on the CSO data. The years 2008-2009, despite a visible global economic slowdown, were beneficial for the Polish economy. In 2008 the number of active enterprises grew – in all groups of companies and branches. Similar case was observed in 2009, when an evident recovery took place when it comes to the growth in the number of newly established companies. A decline in the number of large companies was observed in the discussed period, which may indicate negative symptoms of the economic crisis experienced by large enterprises with best- developed links with the Western European economies or the United States. In 2008 the demand on labour continued to grow, which resulted in the increased number of workers, employment rate and remuneration in the entire enterprise sector. It is worth emphasizing that the largest share in the increased number of workers was observed in small enterprises (between 10 and 49 employees). Unfortunately, data available for 2009 show a considerable slowdown of this trend and the decline in the number of workers in the enterprise sector. In 2008 the enterprises also observed favourable financial results – in the scope of total revenues, gross financial result and the values of main economic indicators: profitability, financial liquidity and debt ratios. However, these positive effects were visible mostly in the group of small companies and micro-enterprises; medium-sized and large enterprises observed a slightly deteriorated economic and financial situation. Detailed information concerning the abovementioned issues are presented in Chapters

One group was given a map on which major cities were marked while the other a map with the main regions.

The country has a directly elected president, who is chief of state, and a bicameral parliament, the National Assembly, consisting of the Chamber of Representatives (lower house) and the Council of the Republic (upper house). A prime minister appointed by the president is the nominal head of government. In practice, however, power is concentrated in the presidency. Since his election in 1994 as president, Alyaksandr Lukashenka has consolidated his power over all institutions and undermined the rule of law through authoritarian means, manipulated elections, and arbitrary decrees. Subsequent presidential elections have not been free or fair, and the September 2008 parliamentary election failed to meet international standards. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, their members continued to commit numerous human rights abuses. The government's human rights record remained very poor as government authorities continued to commit frequent serious abuses. The right of citizens to change their government was severely restricted. The government failed to account for past politically motivated disappearances. Prison conditions remained extremely poor, and reports of abuse of prisoners and detainees continued. Arbitrary arrests, detentions, and imprisonment of citizens for political reasons, criticizing officials, or for participating in demonstrations also continued.

British perceptions of Poland-Lithuania in the long seventeenth century by Martyna Mirecka Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History University of St Andrews September 2013 Abstract Early modern Poland-Lithuania figured significantly in the political perceptions of Europeans in the long seventeenth century – not only due to its considerable size and enormous commercial and military resources, but also, and just as importantly, due to its exceptional religious and political situation. This interest in Poland-Lithuania was shared by many Britons. However, a detailed examination of how Britons perceived Poland-Lithuania at that time and how they treated Poland-Lithuania in their political debates has never been undertaken. This thesis utilises a wide range of the previously neglected source material and considers the patterns of transmission of information to determine Britons’ awareness of Poland-Lithuania and their employment of the Polish-Lithuanian example in the British political discourse during the seventeenth century. It looks at a variety of geographical and historical information, English and Latin descriptions of Poland-Lithuania’s physical topography and boundaries, and its ethnic and cultural make-up presented in histories, atlases and maps, to establish what, where and who Poland-Lithuania was for Britons.
