The successively progressing digitization and development of technologies, as well as the inherently consolidated globalization of markets – from production and services to consumers and financial, including personal, capital – create increasingly sophisticated expectations on the side of the pretenders to new economic initiatives. Starting from specifying the busi-ness model, to deciding on the choice of the appropriate legal form for their activity, they must respond to variable and dynamically developing formal, market, behavioural and mental requirements. These requirements often take the form of a categorical imperative for effective, that is, competitive and profitable, functioning in various markets. Research on the changing predispositions and dispositions of economic markets and its participants conducted over the last decades allowed Prof. Łuczka to select an interdisciplinary catalogue of determinants. For both the future entrepreneur as well as for the active entrepreneur, it constitutes a unique handbook on shaping and developing the behaviours necessary for effective operation on the market. Basing on analytical methods, the article is a summary of the classification and systematization of the three most key determinants identified in the scientific achievements of Prof. Łuczka. They are personal, financial and IT (technological) determinants.
