Spatial agglomerations in the Polish automotive industry = Skupienia przemysłu motoryzacyjnego w Polsce

Abstract: Abstract. The authors attempt to shed light on the emergence of spatial agglomerations and clusters in the relatively short history of the Polish post-communist automotive sector. Two main questions are addressed: (1) what types of agglomerations dominate in the Polish automotive industry? and (2) to what extent do the existing Polish geographical concentrations in the automotive industry resemble Porter's clusters? The evidence is based on the authors' database covering 955 plants involved in production for t… Show more

“…With growing capacities and upgrading of the region's automotive industry, the agglomeration effects are gaining importance in the location choice of the sector, which have led to the emergence of major industrial concentrations in various countries (Grosz 2006;Pavlínek, Janák 2007;Gwosdz, Micek 2010) as well as to a regionally differentiated contribution of the sector to local economy (Ženka, Pavlínek 2013). While embeddedness and agglomeration processes are interpreted as local phenomena, within the boundaries of one national economy, our main idea is the assumption that these tendencies affecting the location choice of the industry have an increasingly cross-border (regional) character.…”

“…The relatively high development level, high wages and organised labour of Upper Silesia makes it less vulnerable to the lock-in of low value-added specialisation; and through industrial upgrading, it can weaken the centre-periphery relationships of FDI-dominated industrial development. These relatively high-road strategies also carry some risks: the delocalisation of cost-sensitive manufacturing activities may develop into a more serious issue over time (Domański-Gwosdz 2009, Domański-Lung 2009, Gwosdz-Micek 2010, Domanski et al 2013.…”

“…The development of the automotive sector or passenger car industry in Poland from the spatial perspective has been analysed earlier by K. Gwosdz and G. Micek (2010), P. Lizak (2011) and P. Nowak (2011). There are several studies on the geographical change in other manufacturing sectors in Poland, most of them illustrate moderate changes in spatial structures, e.g.…”
