Summary/Abstract: The study shows the role that Polish companies play in the international economic system, including the nature, size and directions of their participation in making the growing trend of globalization of the economy. On the basis of the Polish Central Statistical Office surveys were discussed the concentration of foreign capital in different areas of the Polish economy, including the country of origin of the capital, as well as the activities of companies holding shares in companies headquartered abroad. Types of activities and countries that are particularly attractive to domestic entrepreneurs investing abroad were indicated. Also companies were characterized in terms of common ownership relationships between them, in particular their activities within the framework of international groups. Apart from the basic characteristics of each of these communities, some of the effects of their actions, including financial results were described.
