The article aims at elucidating the role of international corporations in the fragmentation of manufacturing processes in Poland through the influence the former exert on the scale of bilateral trade of Poland with the economies of OECD. A theoretical model assuming full specialization of a vertically integrated corporation is used in the empirical analysis. The obtained results do not corroborate the existence of a statistically relevant relation between the number of corporations and the volume of bilateral trade. Moreover, the values of variables that reflect the relative implementation of production factors by the trading countries seem to contradict the assumption concerning the full specialization in production processes which is the core of the model.

The paper analyses the main determinants of International Corporations’ behaviours using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. The study focuses primarily on describing the business environment of international companies. Following H. Deresky’s concept of the open systems model, it has been divided into three groups – the operating environment, the host-country environment and the global environment. The following section is a presentation of T. L. Saaty’s analytic hierarchy process method. In the following chapter the author proposes the application of AHP method for decision making in the turbulent environment international corporations operate in. The basic assumption of the paper is that correctly identifying relevant groups of environmental factors allows for better decision making by choosing appropriate solutions from a set of alternatives. The analytic hierarchy process is a useful tool for ranking the relevance of particular elements of hierarchical problems. At the same time it helps managers choose the correct problem solving path, leading to better management in complex environments.

Information provided by the media represents for many people a unique opportunity to learn about the surrounding reality. This information can then be seen as a tool of education, if it is prepared accurately, and if the subject is interesting enough to be discussed comprehensively. From this perspective, the article dis¬cusses the case study of a direct investment of the U.S. company Dell in a computer assembly plant in Łódź. Based on newspaper articles published in 2005–2012, the present paper reconstructs the history of the in¬vestment, indicating particularly important issues related to the phenomenon of foreign direct investment, of which the readers of these articles could learn. As the investment involved a number of particularly interest¬ing events and raised emotions (e.g. closure of the plant in Ireland, significant public support, the threat of closure or sale of the plant in Łódź), it acquired a lot of attention in the media. The present paper attempts to assess how the material is useful from the point of view of educating the public in the field of foreign di¬rect investment.
