Abstract

Under the conditions of intense competition, concentration is a strategy, allowing an enterprise to stay competitive in the market. In spite of its importance, the influence of concentration on the results of commercial activities of particular enterprises and industries has not been thoroughly investigated. The correlation - regression analysis has revealed a strong relationship between the industrial activities' concentration and the financial activities, overall profitability and sales income. The calculated dependences may be used in managing concentration processes.
