This paper presents preliminary results of empirical research of competitiveness. The research took form of survey and the presented results analyze the file of 100 companies. Cluster analysis defines the four files (clusters) of companies labeled as excellent, very good, good and poor. The clusters have been defined on the base of selected financial indicators. Although the data presented in this paper are preliminary results of the research, the key findings will probably stay the same even for final results (the file of about 500 companies).
