Funkcjonowanie zakładów przemysłowych XXI wieku na przykładzie Swedwood Poland i Volkswagen Motor Polska Sp. z o.o. Analiza dojazdów do pracy

Abstract

New foreign investments by big international corporations, whether through the purchase of privatised enterprises or greenfield-type ventures, have brought about a disintegration of old co-operation and supply networks and the emergence of new spatial links between plants and their surroundings. An analysis of those new spatial links will rest on journeys to work. As the first and most basic of the links connecting a new enterprise with its new environment and the local community, they are one of the best measures of the plant’s range of impact and an indicator of the extent of its embeddedness in the region. The examples will be the subsidiaries of two international corporations located in Poland: of Swedwood International Ltd. at Chlastawa (Zbąszynek commune, Lubuska Land) and of the German firm, Volkswagen Motor Polska, at Polkowice (Lower Silesia).
