This research examines the concepts of internationalization, innovativeness and networking of the firm with distinction between outward and inward internationalization and innovativeness of Polish firms. A number of researchers and practitioners agree that a firm’s relationships within its business networks are a source of competitive advantage due to a better use of the firm’s distinctive resources, access to the resources of network partners, enhanced process of learning and knowledge sharing within networks. Data was collected from 274 Polish firm using direct interviews. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationships between networking, internationalization, and innovativeness. The results show that networking and learning by internationalization may lead to innovativeness of firms, but for the emerging market like the Polish one, they are rather conducive for process and organizational innovativeness of firms then for the product and marketing innovativeness.
