Abstract
The aim of the article is to present and assess the evolution of managers’ perception of institutional changes in Poland in 2009-2015. The significant deficiencies in public institutions as well as the quality of law are criticised by citizens, businessmen and politicians. There are no doubts that some institutional improvements have been made but criticism comes also from foreign experts and business organisations. The article shows and assesses the empirical results of the continuous research that the author began in 1997. A special emphasis, however, was on the findings of the period 2009-2015. The transmission of shifts in an institutional environment into current and long-term decisions made by economic agents is also discussed.
