vol. 8 Small Towns’ Development Problems

67-79

EN

The problem of changing and shrinking economic base of many small towns causes necessity of searching new paths of development for them. Central service functions existing in those towns previously are largely washed out to larger cities as a result of the present metropolisation processes. The opportunity for economic base or redevelopment of small towns should focus on manufacturing industry. The issue of the paper is to indicate the role of industry for the development of labour market in the space of the small towns, proving the positive impact has practical applications because of its ability to design and implement new development strategy objectives of these towns. The study area were Poland’s counties (poviats), in which the central city had less than 20,000 inhabitants.

Industry, still one of the most significant sectors of the economy, is undergoing permanent quantitative and qualitative changes. Therefore it should be the subject of not only business analyses, but also research which more broadly explain our reality in the environmental, social and economic dimensions, noting the more and more complex relations between the elements, sets and even entire systems functioning in various spatial arrangements. The research on the changes in industry structures implemented by Polish researchers representing various fields of science has been an essential element of the cognitive process for many years. Among them are also geographers for whom the spatial aspects (the characteristics and issues) of industrial activity seem particularly significant. However, the issues handled by them mostly regard land areas. Therefore, there is also a strong need for wide-range theoretical and applicable research on the identification of sea and coastal areas functioning on the basis of diversified industrial structures, using the previous academic achievements, including the achievements of the Polish economic sea geography.

The oldest city in the world appeared in the Neolithic era. The rapid development of agriculture contributed to the increase in population and population density. There were the first townships, which were later called "protocities." By today's criteria can say that it was a little crowded, but in those days Catal Hüyük, Hatsilar or Jericho, numbering several thousand people, were considered large populations.

Politicians as well as scientists are involved in the fight against climate change. People around the world are more aware of the need to be concerned about the environment. But the most important issue is the introduction of structural changes in economies, starting with changes in different branches of industry. This article presents examples of European and American companies bringing in new technologies to improve production processes so as to be more efficient and low-carbon emitting. It is also important to introduce changes in finished products that should be more environmentally friendly. Attempts have been made by companies functioning in the same industry to promote environmentally friendly technologies. That co-operation extends to the search for methods to help take advantage of by-products in an economical way as well to protect the natural environment.

Research background: The identification of smart specialisations should be based on information allowing the identification of resources and capital in the regions, which constitute the unique value of the area providing for the development of competitive advantages based on innovations and achievements in the research and development activities. Purpose of the article: The key goal is to present the proposal to use an aggregate (synthetic) measure for the purpose of identifying regional development potentials and next the initial smart specialisations (RSS). This approach is particularly useful at the very initial stage of recognizing the potential in the region, and ? after some modifications ? may offer a useful tool for assembling the de-velopment of industries (services) in the region. The additional goals are: (1) to organize the knowledge regarding statistical approaches and selected methods to be used in the process of identifying initial smart specialisations in regions (RSS); (2) exemplification of the presented methodology for the initial regional smart specialisations (RSS) identification in voivodeships in Poland based on a multivariate approach. Methods: Multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) methods are used in the identification procedure of initial regional smart specialisations (RSS), which allowed for performing the assessment in 4 areas: resources and capital; specialisation; development potential (dynamics); the involvement in research and development and innovative activities. They can also be extended with additional dimensions related to the cooperation of enterprises with social or environmental priorities. Findings & Value added: The conducted procedure allowed identifying NACE rev. 2 divisions useful in determining development potentials in Polish regions and later the initial smart specialisations (RSS). The identified initial RSS for Polish voivodeships can be a starting point for building regional smart specialisations based on values supply chain or other premises. Due to the universal nature of the proposed methodology, it can be widely used at the level of subregions, regions and the EU countries.

The article examines the scientific vision of the development of Ukrainian industry as a key factor of the economic system that can be modernized and formed a basis for industrial growth, through which Ukraine will be able to achieve the global goals of sustainable development proclaimed by the 70th UN Assembly. The authors consider new approaches to diversification and integrated proportional industrial development with the possibility of preserving and restoring both traditional industrial manufacture. This might improve product quality and stimulate the development of production systems in accordance with international requirements and with the prospect of forming new high-tech and competitive sectors of industry, in particular chemical, woodworking and pharmaceutical. The main incentive mechanisms and priorities of the neo-industrial development of manufacture are proposed.

Universities are one of the key actors within national and regional innovation systems. The nature of university-industry collaboration has changed during the last decades and it varies across countries and regions. Different factors determine the interaction among both organizations, from those related to the industrial structure of the territory to others related to institutional and legal frameworks. In this paper we aim at adding to the understanding of this process based on the comparison between two European regions, Apulia in Italy and Galicia in Spain. Our results show that a progressive transition from a separated to a more integrated approach has occurred at the relational framework affecting universities and industry in both regions. Public policies, particularly from the regional level, have been relevant for promoting university-industry collaboration in Galicia and Apulia. Nevertheless, there still remain cultural and institutional barriers, both from the academy and business sphere, which impede a closer and more fruitful interaction. Besides, the poor innovative culture of traditional industries which dominate in both regions, might affect university-industry interaction. However, an adjustment of the university offer in terms of research is also needed as we observe that collaboration is too much biased by the university scientific and departmental specialization and too little by local and regional industrial specialization.

Artykuł zawiera analizę wpływu różnych faz cyklu koniunkturalnego na aktywność innowacyjną polskich przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych. Analiza jest oparta na rachunku prawdopodobieństwa (modelowanie probitowe) i wykonana na podstawie badań ankietowanych przeprowadzonych na dużej grupie w latach 2007–2012, z uwzględnieniem 18 wymiarów (atrybutów) działalności innowacyjnej. Z oszacowanych modeli wynika, że aktywność innowacyjna przedsiębiorstw w fazie ożywienia (prosperity) jest znacząco wyższa niż w czasie recesji i stagnacji. Wyniki badania nie potwierdziły zatem hipotezy stawianej w literaturze o wzmożonej aktywności innowacyjnej przedsiębiorstw w okresie recesji lub stagnacji i o antycyklicznym charakterze tej działalności. Ustalenia te należałoby uwzględnić w programowaniu polityki państwa w zakresie wspierania procesów innowacyjnych.

The paper includes the analysis of the impact of various phases of business cycle on innovation activity of Polish industrial enterprises. The analysis is based on the probability calculus (probit models), using data collected in a survey made in a large sample of enterprises in the years 2007–2012, considering 18 dimensions (attributes) of innovation activity. The estimated models suggest that innovation activity of enterprises during the boom (prosperity) is significantly more intensive than during the recession or stagnation. The results of the examination do not confirm the hypothesis formulated in the literature according to which enterprises tend to intensify their innovative activity during the recession or stagnation and that innovation activity, therefore, acts anticyclically. These findings should be taken into consideration in programming the governmental policy to support innovation processes.

Статья содержит анализ влияния различных фаз конъюнктурного цикла на инновационную активность польских промышленных предприятий. Анализ сделан исходя из теории вероятности (побитовое моделирование) и подготовлен на основании анкетных исследований, проведенных на большой группе промышленных предприятий в 2007- 2012 гг. с учетом 18-ти измерений (атрибутов) инновационной деятельности. Результаты показали, что инновационная активность предприятий в фазе оживления (prosperity) значительно выше, чем во время рецессии и стагнации. Это означает, что результаты исследования не подтвердили гипотезу, которая содержится в литературе относительно повышенной инновационной активности предприятий в период рецессии или стагнации и относительно антицикличного характера этой деятельности. Эти выводы следовало бы учесть в программировании политики государства в области поощрения инновационных процессов.

Currently, technological parks constitute the most organisational and conceptually developed type of innovation centres and entrepreneurship. This results in the fact that they can be encountered in all highly developed countries in the world. They are also formed in the catching-up countries. However, one should consider whether the stimulation of innovation in the countries, which are not based on knowledge through institutional solutions used in the developed countries will turn out to be effective. Because between these countries there is a technological gap. The aim of the article was therefore to determine, using the probit modelling, the direction and strength of technological parks on the innovation activity. The study covered two provinces: Silesian, which is one of the most developed regions in Poland and Pomeranian with the intermediate industrial system. The influence of technological parks on innovation was determined based on the survey conducted in 1453 industrial enterprises. The main conclusions are brought down to the following theses: (1) using the technological parks increases the chance for the implementation of new solutions by enterprises, (2) parks to a greater extent stimulate the innovation activity in the developed province, (3) enterprises entering in the cross-regional network relations favours the selection of the technological park as the catalyst for innovation processes.

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.

This paper examines links between the exchange rate, agricultural and industrial outputs in Ukraine. This is estimated using monthly data for the 2001-2015 period. Results provide evidence that there is a positive spillover from agriculture to industry, being in line with modern arguments on the role of agricultural sector in economic growth (infrastructural spillovers, rural income effects, provision of resources for an industrialized economy). However, industrial output squeezes out agricultural production in the short run. Depreciation of the nominal (real) exchange rate has an expansionary effect on industrial output, but it is harmful for agriculture. From a policy perspective, the results suggest that agriculture-supporting policies should be productive in the industrialization context either.

The article tries to classify the EU states in terms of the advancement of structural changes in their industries on the basis of the increase in the share of advanced technologies in total industrial production, labour, added value, and surplus. In the times of the knowledge-based economy the ability to produce high-tech goods, the demand for which is growing much faster than for traditional goods, indicates the level of modernity of industry.The dynamic growth of the demand for knowledge-based high-tech goods results from the evolution of consumer habits, which are predominantly driven by educated and rich societies who demand that their sophisticated needs met. An important role in stimulating this demand is played by modern media as they instantly deliver information on the latest technical developments and are very efficient in transferring patterns of consumerism. The ability to adapt the structure of production to the needs of the market is crucial in defining a state's position in the international exchange of goods. This is due to the fact that the national technology is tightly interwoven with export abilities.

Research background: Contemporary research on industry concentrates on the relations between enterprises and their environment. Research on industrial structures conducted throughout the world, including Poland, are not extensive and limited due to the confidentiality of statistics. K. Pavitt (1984) was the first researcher who evaluated the relationship between industry structure and innovation activity. According to Pavitt, innovation dynamics and trajectory depend on the structure of domestic industry and is unique. In Poland T. Rachwal (2010) determined that over the studied years, changes in the indicator defining diversification in industrial divisions were minimal, but at the same time there was an observable fall in the importance of traditional divisions, such as the production of clothing, textiles, and the leather. In contrast, divisions as the production of metal, rubber, and plastic goods increased their share in terms of employees, as did furniture and vehicle manufacturing. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the paper is to identify sectoral patterns of innovation cooperation as revealed by data on about 5209 Polish enterprises. The authors attempt to find the answer to the following three questions: (1) Is the domestic aggregation sufficient for stimulating innovation cooperation in the Polish industry? (2) Is there any sectoral heterogeneity in innovation cooperation? (3) Are enterprises representing high technology industries the most involved in innovation cooperation? The main goal of the study was an attempt to seek out the directions and influence of various industries on the innovation cooperation of enterprises in Poland. Methods: Empirical data that served as the basis for conducting calculations were collected with the help of a questionnaire survey sent to industrial companies throughout Poland. A total of 5,209 properly completed forms were collected. The average rate of return was 11,6%. The collection was held over the years 2008?2013. The methodological part of the study was developed using the logistic regression method based on probability theory of the study. Findings & Value added: The study has shown that the higher the technology, the more often enterprises cooperate in the area of innovation. The research has not only shown the specifics of the domestic industrial system as well its level of technological advancement, but it has also taken into account the significance and input into the analyzed system.

Research of industrial enterprises concerning their impact on the surroundings through multiplier effects is becoming more and more important due to changes in the organisation of production processes. They mainly result from the increasing technological advancement of products and the need to achieve the expected financial effect, which is possible only through large-scale production. The result of these components is a continuous increase in the specialisation of both companies and individual industrial plants. These processes are reflected in contemporary models of industrialisation, which show that companies operate on the basis of more and more complex value-added chains. This increases the indirect impact of enterprises on the development of the surroundings. The article aims to present the mechanism of functioning of multiplier effects and indicate factors that affect different sizes, as well as the scale of their range. It also presents the evolution of the idea of multiplier effects on the ground of macroeconomics and shows the contribution of Polish researchers to this trend of knowledge. It should be noted that the research to date in this area is not often undertaken both on scientific grounds and in the field of broadly understood economic consulting for the benefit of local government units, which results mainly from the lack of data. The need to obtain detailed data, particularly financial data, within the company chain is a crucial barrier.

Implementation of innovation in the field of product, process, organization and/or marketing, as part of the competitive struggle, is therefore linked to the achievement of various objectives and effects. The main objective of the study was to describe the relationship between the different effects of innovation activity and the extent of innovative activity of industrial enterprises, such as investment in innovation and implementation of innovative solutions. The survey had been conducted in years 2010-12 in 1067 industrial companies, operating in Eastern Poland (Warmia-Mazury, Podlasie, Lublin, Świętokrzyskie and Podkarpackie voivodeships). The methodological part of the analyses is based on the probability calculus - probit regression. Industrial enterprises in Eastern Poland indicated on improved quality of products offered on the market and increased range of products as the main effects of innovation activity. Analysis of innovation activity phenomena characterized in the article may have an impact on the perception of regional innovation policy, in terms of its nature and direction, as well as the vital question of the effectiveness of instruments of supporting innovativeness of industrial enterprises in Eastern Poland.

Research background: This paper observes especially the position of cities, urban areas in the context of global value chains - GVCs. Global value chains reflect specialization and labour division of companies, mostly multinational enterprises - MNEs. MNEs can be considered flagships of some industries. Such flagships influence suppliers and purchasers. MNEs are a part of networks or have got access to such networks that combine dispersion of the value chain, the boundaries of the firm and across national borders. Purpose of the article: The impetus for this work was to look at the position of Slovak cities (Bratislava, Žilina) in order to look for sectors that can help to develop the city and its adjacent regions, particularly cross-border regions. The paper discussed how the attribute of the cross-border regions gives the cities more advantageous position in GVCs. Methodology: Applying the method of location quotient allowed to shed a light on the GVCs, which cities participate in. Some cities were in a position to take advantage of participation in GVCs. Findings & Value added: Examined cities are located in the western part of the Slovak Republic. Discussion about the attribute of the cross-border regions can stimulate new ideas for finding causalities in city sprawl or in specialization patterns in the industrial structure of the city. Discussion further fosters the comparison of two cities strengths and weaknesses of each of them that were summarized in terms of employment and industrial exploitation of GVCs. This is the first finding and value added of the paper. The second one is that the method of location quotient is simple but provides clear evidence of the regional development or decline in particular industries and at the time of observation.
