Abstrakt EN:

It seems that in the conditions of intensifying competition, the idea to draw attention to the problem of transaction costs is one of effective competition models, utilizing a number of positive external benefits that can be achieved by functioning within network systems such as industrial clusters. This form of cooperation emphasizes the complexity of relations between business partners and at the same time between competitors. It lets us look at the nature and. sources of competitiveness from another perspective. The limited character of internal resources, the impossibility to take actions on a scale that may ensure the company 's competitiveness, may be compensated by noticing that competitiveness depends upon the ability to use opportunities created by the environment. This type of clusters gives such opportunities. They enable effective competition not only on the local market, but also on international markets, what in the present times is already a necessity and. at the same time a standard of shaping relations, the final result of which may generate an impulse to achieve competitive advantage.
