The article presents the history of development of Islamic financial institutions from the beginning of the 21st century, mainly in terms of the growth of their assets. Based on the structural analysis of the Islamic economic system based on sharia (a comprehensive system of legal and ethical norms based on the Koran and Sunni, a binding Muslim community), the article presents its current structure in a multi-dimensional approach. The aim of the article is to critically analyze the current state of the Islamic financial sector and to identify key areas of risk that are significant barriers to further development. The main barriers are the disproportionately high concentration of assets in the banking sector with the simultaneous small role of other areas, such as insurance or asset management, significant geographic and sectoral concentration of assets, small average size of Islamic financial institutions, lack of clear corporate standards and guidelines for sharia application in economic practice, complex structure of offered products and lack of qualified personnel. The article also presents secular factors conducive to the development of Islamic finances, mainly the rapid increase in the number of followers of Islam in the world and the ethical attractiveness of this sector model based on risk sharing between partners, which potentially opens the possibility of expansion outside the Muslim world. The article mainly uses descriptive analysis based on scientific literature, market reports and statistical data.

The paper examines different kinds of manufacturing companies with various levels of market orientation. Its main aim is to test whether their level of competitiveness is correlated with their level of market orientation. The paper is based on a quantitative research in which 334 manufacturing companies were examined. For measuring market orientation, the MKTOR scale developed by Narver and Slater was used. The competitive position of the analysed firms was determined using the Competitiveness Index developed by Fonfara. The statistical significance of the observed differences was tested using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The study shows that in every type of manufacturing companies, their competitiveness grows along with increasing market orientation. However, the extent of this growth differs depending on company type. The results also show that it is always beneficial to increase market orientation, as the firms with the highest market orientation belong to the most competitive 5% of manufacturing companies.

The paper analyses the innovation capabilities and development of the Baltic Sea region within the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy. The ongoing structural change towards service and knowledge societies, innovations, and the increasing integration of markets will have considerable influence on the European Union. In March 2010, the European Commission presented the Europe 2020 strategy, which is supposed to push the EU to become the smartest and most competitive region in the world. Among the EU member states, the Baltic Sea countries are effective in bringing up innovative solutions and establishing cooperation between science and business. However, the Europe 2020 strategy sets ambitious goals and some of the Baltic Sea countries will presumably fail to meet them. The enormous disparities between the countries and between central and peripheral regions within a country can thus be observed in selected indicators. These findings need to be recognised to intensify the efforts to transform the region into an innovation leader.
