Abstract

An analysis of the competitiveness of the Polish hard coal mining sector was performed. The most important conditions in which it operates were presented—the size of the resource base, the current organizational structure, and operating conditions. By presenting the most important sources of competitiveness, factors requiring special attention were identified. After presenting the SWOT analysis of the sector, the issues that were most important for the permanent preservation of the competitive position of the entire sector, as well as individual mining enterprises, were specified.
