Purpose: The article attempts to answer the following questions: What key competences and attitudes should characterise the management staff in the high-tech sector; is there an attitude gap, that is, a discrepancy between the desired and actual attitudes of the managers of high-tech enterprises; and what actions can contribute to minimising an identified attitude gap? Design/methodology/approach: Answering the above-mentioned research questions required reviewing the literature on the subject and conducting research. The research covered 504 managers representing all levels of management in high-tech enterprises operating in Poland. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis, based on which conclusions were drawn. Findings: The research results show that the key competences of creativity, knowledge management and entrepreneurship are the most highly evaluated of the surveyed attitudes of managers (the lowest gap). A disturbing phenomenon is the relatively low assessment of the attitudes (a large gap) characterising the key competences of basing communication systems on modern information technologies, innovation and cooperation in relational systems. Practical implications: The presented results on the skills gap is part of a wider research project aimed at identifying and assessing the levels of the key competences of managers employed in high-tech enterprises. In order to minimise the identified attitudes gap, specific actions were recommended be taken to improve these attitudes. Originality/value: The value of the conducted research procedure is the identification of key attitudes of tactical and operational level managers of high-tech enterprises and their arrangement due to the size of the gap between the actual and desired state. Actions to improve key managerial attitudes were also identified. These activities may help increase the effectiveness and competitiveness of Polish high-tech enterprises.(original abstract)
