Abstract

The objective of this article is to define the relationship between the development level of communication infrastructure and the effectiveness of enterprises in individual voivodeships in Poland. First, we describe communication infrastructure as a subsystem of economic infrastructure, and discuss the impact of communication infrastructure on the functioning of enterprises. Next, we empirically analyse the relationship between the development of communication infrastructure and the effectiveness of enterprises. The problem of the measurement of enterprise effectiveness, although studied in numerous research analyses, has not been comprehensively solved. In this article we attempt to create a synthetic measure of economic effectiveness of enterprises, seizing on an earlier selected set of diagnostic variables. The application of synthetic measures that use one aggregate indicator instead of a series of variables to describe objects, enables us to quantify the multidimensional nature of economic operations and systematize them in a linear way. Our analysis covers all 16 Polish voivodeships. The methodological approach is based on Hellwig’s method, correlation and spatial autocorrelation analysis. The main criterion of variable selection was completeness and availability of data for the period 2003–2011.
