Nowadays, we all live in a global village. Over last years, the world has shrunk and life has gained a momentum. That process regards also the way in which business is operated and enterprises are run. On the one hand, they gained an access to new markets, latest technologies, cheaper labor force. On the other hand, they have to face difficulties and threats that were raised by the globalization and deal with them. This article unveils the weakness of Polish crystal glass industry in contact with the global market and the external competition. Based on the example of one of the biggest glass manufacturer in Poland it shows that the globalization makes enterprises choose: to perish or to adjust and survive. What seems to be the crucial part of this choice is that inaction equals: to perish. (original abstract)
