The purpose of this paper is to answer the following research question: which factors relating
to the international competitiveness of German enterprises are most important for the Polish
market? Then, in a broader context: which competitiveness factors play a key role in helping
enterprises from the highest developed countries conquer the market of a relatively less developed country? On the basis of a literature review, a research gap is identified, indicating there is
a shortage of studies that clearly identify a group of factors that influence a company{\textquoteright}s success on
the foreign market. The gap is filled with the empirical qualitative research and the conclusions
regarding the key competitiveness factors and their effective combination. Competitive strategies
and factors key for their implementation are identified, presenting the factors responsible for the
growth of German enterprises on the international market (Poland) and achieving market success. The set of enterprises{\textquoteright} competitiveness factors is established and the hierarchy those factors
is presented. Although the qualitative research based on thirteen companies is not representative, the leading German enterprises provide a valuable lesson on how to successfully conquer
a foreign market. The key competitiveness factors responsible for such success in the context of
strategic goals, competition strategies, and modern methods of competition are presented and
discussed. The findings are very useful for real enterprises in internationalizing situations, where
the management has to determine the competitive strategy which should lead to foreign growth
and in consequence success on the international market. The study indicates what to focus on
when entering the foreign market and which factors have a direct impact on the growth on the
foreign market. The paper is a result of empirical research on competitiveness and provides valuable information about the set of ranked competitive factors that have a direct influence on success in a foreign market.

The economic crisis that erupted in 2008 has significantly influenced the European Union (EU) economy and the questions about the future of the European integration process arose. The crisis effects forced the European Union institutions and its Member States to undertake significant decisions and to draw recovery plans. Apart from the initiatives aimed at the economic policy coordination and financial markets supervision, the EU proposed and introduced important initiatives for the strengthening of competitiveness of the internal market. In November 2008 the European Commission in the communication on the recovery plan proposed the ways to support the real economy and competitiveness, to boost demand and restore confidence in the European economy. Then, in the course of 2008-2011 years, a broad range of legislative and non-legislative decisions have been taken by the European Commission and European Parliament in order to minimize the crisis consequences for the internal market, including the Single Market Act and the new European strategy Europe 2020. Moreover, additional amount of money coming from the EU budget was designed for spending on i.e. energy safety, development of broad-band internet in the rural areas or enterprise help within the Cohesion Policy, and the European Investment Bank designed 15 bn euro for credits and loans for the SMEs.
