Abstract. A dynamic production market, in particular for the metallurgical industry, strongly influences the level of production efficiency, product quality, and mainly a company’s position on the market and its competitiveness. This paper presents the results of research on the assessment of the technological position of a selected average company from the metallurgical industry in relation to development strategies. The analysis of a company’s technological position has been made using the 3×3 matrix and Parker rating scale. The 3×3 matrix helped to determine an enterprise’s technological position as well as factors that affect it. As follows from the presented research, an enterprise is located as “ordinary, average” both in terms of its technological possibilities and its position on the market. However, it was also possible to indicate the factors to which the company should pay special attention in order to strengthen their importance.
