In post-socialist spatial restructuring, over-industrialised economies experienced a period of intense tertiarisation and the decline of industrial employment. However, the role of services in this process shows strong sectoral and spatial differences. In addition to structural correction, tertiarisation may be interpreted as the bearer of economic modernisation, but also a symptom of weakness where services dominate due to an absence of economic alternatives. Advanced business services are strongly concentrated in central regions, while elsewhere economic growth is still mainly driven by industry, whose location shows high path-dependency going back to the quantitative and qualitative factor supply, as well as a broader societal and institutional background that encourages the reproduction of industrial milieus. Using empirical evidence from Central and South-Eastern European countries, the author examines how the sub-national location differences of services and industry reshape and recreate the region’s traditional centre–periphery differences: evidence points to differentiation between not only central and non-central regions, but also the Central and South-Eastern European group of new EU members and candidate states.

Outside metropolitan areas, regional differentiation under post-socialism is heavily influenced by the uneven distribution of industry. The core-periphery differences of service- and industry-based competitiveness underscore the relevance of reindustrialization policies, particularly under the economic crisis. These policies bear different implications across different time horizons, and can be understood as the development of advantageous investment locations to achieve re-specialization, as well as a strong local factor supply. With institutional weaknesses, the path-dependency of restructuring and the lack of domestic capital, there is a need for bridging institutions to articulate diffuse interests and undertake strategic intervention within the local economy.

Recent studies in entrepreneurship and regional competitiveness reveal the increasing importance of medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, which represent an autonomous segment of the SME sector, and help explain the success of modern German industry. However, both developed and post-socialist economies are finding the development of medium-sized enterprises to be a challenging task, posing several obstacles. This paper presents the results of a statistical survey on existing and emerging medium-sized enterprises in Hungarian manufacturing. Using a full database of Hungarian enterprises between 2000 and 2013, it is found that the medium-sized enterprise segment has undergone shrinkage instead of expansion, although promising specialisation patterns are also apparent in selected regions, and even less successful regions have their competitive enterprises.

Obecne badania nad przedsiębiorczością i konkurencyjnością regionalną odsłaniają rosnące znaczenie średniej wielkości przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych, które reprezentują autonomiczny segment sektora MSP (małych i średnich firm) oraz są pomocne w wyjaśnieniu sukcesu nowoczesnego przemysłu Niemiec. Jednakże, w przypadku zarówno rozwijających sie, jak i post-socjalistycznych gospodarek rozwój średniej wielkości przedsiębiorstw jest zadaniem trudnym, napotykającym szereg ograniczeń. Artykuł prezentuje rezultaty badania statystycznego nad istniejącymi oraz powstającymi przedsiębiorstwami średniej wielkości w węgierskim sektorze produkcyjnym. Wykorzystując pełną bazę danych węgierskich przedsiębiorstw pomiędzy 2000 i 2013 rokiem wskazano, że segment średniej wielkości przedsiębiorstw poddawany jest procesowi ‘kurczenia sie’ zamiast ekspansji, pomimo obiecujących wzorców specjalizacji obecnych w kilku regionach, a nawet występowania konkurencyjnych przedsiębiorstw w mniej pomyślnie rozwijających sie regionach.
