Abstract
The main objective of the article is an attempt to identify factors/determinants conditioning the development of enterprises in Poland over the last 5 years. The author will also try to indicate the dominant behaviours related to the notion of entrepreneurship among the owners of the enterprises under study and identify the relations between the variables related to enterprise management and its development and growth. In addition to the literature analysis, the author chose a survey in the form of a structured interview with business owners as another research method - the survey was carried out in 2018 and 2019 in 200 purposively selected enterprises from the SME sector, which are based in Poland and were established in the last 5 years. After the analysis of the literature and the results of the conducted survey, obviously bearing in mind its pilot character, the author clarified the names of the selected indicators/determinants and expanded their list by those he considered useful from the point of view of the general purpose of the survey - 9 indicators/determinants. In the author's opinion, the developed indicators/determinants make it possible to assess the level of enterprise development (direction and pace of changes) depending on selected factors of the local and institutional environment, internal factors, the level of achieved financial results, sources of financing.

Summary
All of them are used, giving the opportunity to achieve the purpose for which economic entities are created (O'Rourke, 2019). For the author of the article, the contemporary evolution of the concept of entrepreneurship, which focuses on human attitudes and behaviors, is important. The process of these theses is identified with achieving success, seeing new opportunities, searching for opportunities, achieving goals effectively and maximizing profits. In this context, we should first understand entrepreneurship as the ability of a person or organization to seek and apply new solutions. We should strive for achievable benefits in the area of existing limitations and opportunities and the willingness to take risks and take responsibility for decisions and actions taken (Say, 2018)
