Furthermore, the examinations results distinguish comparatively
high similarity in terms of enterprises’ investment activity
financial sources between regions NUTS PL41 (10) and NUTS
PL51 (12) (table 9). The high close match was observed
especially in the relatively the highest (in comparison with other
Polish regions) average value of financing investment
expenditure by own means. Simultaneously, it has to be
underline that the enterprises from regions in question highlight
(during the period 2008–201) relatively the highest value of
domestic loans and borrowings and total means directly from
overseas in financing investment activity.
Obtained outcomes, achieved by cluster analysis application,
allow to the conclusion about the slightest similarity in
enterprises’ financial sources of investment activity between
regions NUTS PL12 (2) and NUTS PL22 (4) (table 9). Apart
from relatively the very high number of average enterprises per
10 thousand inhabitants and the (on average) very high value of
own means in financing investment activity, enterprises from
mentioned regions differentiate particularly in usage of
budgetary means, domestic loans and borrowings, means
directly from overseas (of which bank loan) and other sources to
financing investment activity.
Additionally, the study shows relatively high discrepancies
between regions NUTS PL41 (10) and NUTS PL63 (15) in
financial sources for enterprises’ investment activity scope (table
9). The results of examinations indicate that region NUTS PL63
(15), compared with the region NUTS PL41 (10) distinguish
significantly higher average value of means directly from
overseas (of which bank loan), while also significantly lower
average value of own means in financing enterprises’ investment
activity.
Conclusions
The conducted research lead to the several conclusions. First of
all, the obtained results allow to the conclusion about differential
dynamics of financial sources average value for investment
activity in Polish enterprises in the period 2008–2013. Above
appearance might arise from business surrounding changes
resulted especially from the macroeconomic conditions.
Consequently, this occurrence might affect the level of
enterprises’ financial risk and thus to chosen particular financial
source for investment activity.
Furthermore, the obtained results enable to indicate significant
diversity of financial sources for enterprises investment activity
between regions in Poland (NUTS) in the period 2008–2013.
This situation might results from differ enterprises’ availability
to particular sources of finance for investment activity.
The complexity of enterprises’ financial sources of investment
activity requires further studies. They should be concentrated on
the identification of the determinants, which might affect the
improvement of Polish enterprises’ investment activity and their
decisions concerning the choice of financial sources for
investment expenditures. Moreover, they should also concern on
the particular region conditions, which might improve
enterprises’ investment decisions.
