Abstract

The purpose of this article is to assess the investment activity (investing activities) of companies in Poland depending on the industry they belong to. The first part of the study presents theoretical issues concerning business investments. The second part presents a comparative study of the investment activity of Polish companies operating in various industries. In this study, in order to assess the investment activity of companies in Poland based on the industry they belong to, two selected methods of linear ordering (the method of sums and Hellwig’s method) were used, both falling within the scope of a multidimensional comparative analysis. In the analyzed period, the majority of examined industries showed high fluctuations in their investment activity, which is likely due to the uncertainty faced by Polish companies. Industries showing the highest level of investment activity in 2010-2016 in both methods are: industrial sector, administration and support activities, transportation and warehousing, real estate services. Industries showing the lowest level of investment activity are: education, trade and repair of motor vehicles.
