Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of research on the relationship between the level of advancement of technology, solutions and logistics systems used in the Polish food sector, and the size of employment, scale of investment, financial situation and position on the market of food enterprises. Several different dependency assessment methods were used and compared in the study. The research falls within the broader thematic area of Solow’s productivity paradox in its extended understanding of logistics systems [Jałowiecki 2018]. The results obtained seem to correspond to one of the most frequently raised reasons for the occurrence of this paradox related to statistical methods. The main purpose of the research, the results of which were presented in the work, was to construct a synthetic indicator to assess the level of sophistication of logistic solutions used and to use it in the research of the food sector.
