Growth factors of competitiveness are presented empirically. Conditions of competitiveness are determined by internal factors, dependent on enterprises themselves, and by a wide range of internal factors, dependent on the macroeconomic environment. Analysis of statistics concerning 2004-2011, collected as part of the author's research, leads to the conclusion that enterprises gain competitive advantage by low pricing and high quality of their products. A growing importance of quality as a factor determining enterprise competitiveness can also be noted.

Keywords: competitiveness, small and medium-sized enterprises, sources of competitive advantage
