THE SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC COHESION IN POLAND.

Purpose: The basic research hypothesis is as follows ' Socio-economic cohesion has a positive, statistically significant impact on the development of sustainable entrepreneurship in Poland from 2008 to 2022'. Design/methodology/approach: We normalize diagnostic variables into synthetic indicators to verify the hypothesis. We use the classical least squares method (OLS). Findings: Sustainable entrepreneurship in Poland has a positive trend, although it should be pointed out that the ecological awareness of entrepreneurs should be significantly increased. The results of the study show that social and economic cohesion has a positive impact on sustainable entrepreneurship. Research limitations/implications: The availability of data, the choice of normalization method and the estimation method for the model. Social implications: Socio-economic development that considers protecting the natural environment is a source of new entrepreneurial opportunities, generating new profits and solving social and ecological problems. It is a challenge for the entrepreneur, an opportunity, and at the same time, requires a change in the perception and understanding of his role in developing modern economic systems. Originality/value: The paper's novelty is an attempt to assess the impact of social and economic cohesion on sustainable entrepreneurship in Poland from 2008 to 2022. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
