The experts were asked 15 questions. The article presents 9 of those, which provided the most useful information. Analysis of the obtained data allowed the detection of most significant change management irregularities in mining enterprises and the factors that can increase the ability of mining companies to change. Obtained information allowed the detection of most significant change management irregularities in Polish mining enterprises, typical pitfalls in the process of change and also revealed possible measures that will enable to increase the ability of mining companies to change.
