摘要:AbstractThe global economy bringing globalization strongly influences development trends in individual sectors of the national economy, what is manifested by the fact that successful survival of enterprises in the context of stronger and stronger competition on global markets requires another added value - Business Excellence. The aim of this contribution is to determine whether there is any method (tool, technique), by means of which it would be possible to assess the achieved status of Business Excellence taking into account constant changes of the global business environment. The emphasis is placed on the characterization of the Business Excellence and individual methods currently used for assessing its status. Application of methods of primary and secon dary research determined the unwillingness of enterprises to adopt more “unconventional” methods than they have been using so far.
