The automotive industry is one of the branches with the highest degree of internationalization of production. The beginnings of the investment activities of automobile concerns, including Western Europe, in the new Member States date back to the early 1960s. The inflow of foreign direct investment to the automotive sector was widespread in the 1990s. The transition to a market economy was accompanied by growing demand for foreign capital with the change in ownership of industrial enterprises. The main form of inflow of FDI to Poland to the automotive sector, since the beginnings of the 90s was the takeover of existing industrial plants by foreign investors for their restructuring and joint ventures.

The paper aims at identifying the main trends in the spatial patterns of automotive industry in Poland and their underlying changes. The analysis includes the distribution of employment in the sector by regions (voivodeships) in 1998 and 2015 on the basis of the Central Statistical Office data, as well as the location of greenfield plants built in the country since 1991 using the authors’ database. It is shown that after the general stability of the spatial pattern of production in the first transformation phase of the 1990s, a major shift towards south-western and western Poland together with the decline of the historically dominant region of Warsaw took place later. This can be explained by the success and/or decline of some leading producers and trends in the location of new plants dependent on the proximity to foreign markets, good road accessibility and industrial traditions (labour skills) in the main. These tendencies are in congruence with the general changes in the spatial pattern of Polish industry as a whole, with the growing role of Wielkopolskie and Dolnośląskie voivodeships and the decreasing share of Mazowieckie in the national industrial employment. The rapid expansion of automotive industry in Upper Silesian Industrial District has contributed to its successful restructuring.

Research background: Foreign direct investment is perceived as a valuable tool for economic growth. The growth could be realized more or less as a set of benefits depending on the FDIs features. In the period from 2009 to 2016 a remarkable increase in the share of FDIs inflow in automotive sector in Macedonian economy was noticed, from 2.8% to 14.1%. Thus, there seem to be good reasons to examine the issue of how the increased FDI inflow expressed through the remarkable in-crease of FDIs inflow in the automotive sector. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to analyze the causality between the increased FDIs inflow in the automotive industry and a remarkable export growth. The research interest of the study is to recognize the importance of the FDIs inflow structure as a determinant of the export structure. Methods: Within the paper a model is developed that identifies the FDIs as a factor of growth of the export performances. A regression analysis is used to examine the correlation between the FDIs inflow and export. In order to examine causality, the Granger causality test is applied between the FDIs inflow and increased export. Findings & Value added: The results suggest that FDIs create a good basis for quantitative and qualitative shift in the export structure of the Macedonian economy. The paper associates growth of sectoral export with the growth of FDIs in that sector. Due to the increased FDI inflow in the automotive industry, this sector has significantly increased its share in the total Macedonian export. The paper indicates that FDIs can be considered as a way of engagement in the global supplying chains, which additionally influences positively the competitiveness and export performance of the host suppliers.

The paper examines the nonlinearity and asymmetry between the satisfaction with individual attributes of the service and overall satisfaction in the context of passenger car servicing in Slovenia. The data set that was analysed was acquired from a regular survey on customer satisfaction with vehicle repair and maintenance services of four European automotive brands in Slovenia, carried out in 2005 and 2006 through 12,941 computer-assisted telephone interviews. Specifically, this study utilizes regression analysis in order to test the asymmetry and nonlinearity of the link between the attribute-level performance and overall satisfaction.The results show that the influence of dissatisfaction is different from the influence of satisfaction, and that the influence of satisfaction on overall satisfaction is greater than the influence of dissatisfaction. The results also show that nonlinearity is applicable to certain attributes of vehicle servicing, but not to all.We can sum up that precise knowledge of the correlation between the attribute-level performance of vehicle servicing and overall service satisfaction is important. Results show that caution must be employed in the evaluation of the importance of individual attributes on overall satisfaction, since the importance can change depending on the level of satisfaction. It appears that focusing on improving satisfaction is more important than focusing on lessening dissatisfaction. Results also show that the improvement of attribute-level performance offers diminishing returns; therefore, selective investment in activities for increasing customer satisfaction is sensible if satisfaction levels are already relatively high.

Theoretical background: The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is the largest mega-regional trade agreement ever signed, accounting for more than 30% of the global population, exports, and gross domestic product (GDP). It is also the largest automotive market worldwide, with significant potential both in terms of automotive manufacturing and sales. Purpose of the article: The paper’s main objective is to characterize China-RCEP automotive trade in the years 2012–2021 with reference to key provisions and implications of the aforementioned mega-regional trade agreement for the automotive industry. In the empirical part of the paper, the authors attempt to verify the hypothesis that trade liberalization under RCEP may contribute to the expansion of the regional automotive industry in terms of trade volume, as well as fragmentation of value and supply chains. Research methods: The authors conducted an analysis of intra-industry trade disaggregated into 54 six-digit HS tariff codes using the Grubel–Lloyd and Balassa indexes, accompanied by cross sectional analysis and studies of sectoral reports and literature in the field of mega-regionalism in trade. Main findings: The hypothesis formulated in the introduction of the paper was verified positively –the authors provided an added value to previous empirical studies on RCEP, in the form of a perspective of the automotive industry and in-depth analysis of sectoral trends for the last ten years. The potential for further fragmentation of value and supply chains inside the region was identified, including the possibility of relocation of manufacturing and assembly activities to lower the cost of RCEP Member States to strengthen comparative advantages over extra-regional counterparts (EU, USMCA). The authors pointed at the prospective rising attractiveness of RCEP in automotive manufacturers’ location decisions worldwide, considering both costs, retreat from global-oriented manufacturing and export strategies, investment security, sustainable development, as well as geopolitical trends in respect of newly established tariff and non-tariff barriers.

Research background: In a modern economy, full of complexities, ensuring a business' financial stability, and increasing its financial performance and competitiveness, has become especially difficult. Then, monitoring the company's financial situation and predicting its future development becomes important. Assessing the financial health of business entities using various models is an important area in not only scientific research, but also business practice. Purpose of the article: This study aims to predict the bankruptcy of companies in the engineering and automotive industries of the Slovak Republic using a multilayer neural network and logistic regression. Importantly, we develop a novel an early warning model for the Slovak engineering and automotive industries, which can be applied in countries with undeveloped capital markets. Methods: Data on the financial ratios of 2,384 companies were used. We used a logistic regression to analyse the data for the year 2019 and designed a logistic model. Meanwhile, the data for the years 2018 and 2019 were analysed using the neural network. In the prediction model, we analysed the predictive performance of several combinations of factors based on the industry sector, use of the scaling technique, activation function, and ratio of the sample distribution to the test and training parts. Findings & value added: The financial indicators ROS, QR, NWC/A, and PC/S reduce the likelihood of bankruptcy. Regarding the value of this work, we constructed an optimal network for the automotive and engineering industries using nine financial indicators on the input layer in combination with one hidden layer. Moreover, we developed a novel prediction model for bankruptcy using six of these indicators. Almost all sampled industries are privatised, and most companies are foreign owned. Hence, international companies as well as researchers can apply our models to understand their financial health and sustainability. Moreover, they can conduct comparative analyses of their own model with ours to reveal areas of model improvements.

W artykule przedstawiono zmiany intensywności handlu wewnątrzgałęziowego (intra-industry trade - IIT) wyrobami przemysłu motoryzacyjnego w państwach Unii Europejskiej w latach 1995-2010, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zmian struktury rodzajowej IIT. W analizowanym okresie intensywność wymiany wewnątrzgałęziowej w handlu pojazdami mechanicznymi oraz częściami i akcesoriami wzrastała w państwach UE-12, podczas gdy w państwach UE-15 notowany był tylko wzrost wskaźników IIT w handlu częściami i komponentami motoryzacyjnymi. Struktura rodzajowa IIT w handlu wyrobami przemysłu motoryzacyjnego w krajach UE-15 była stabilniejsza niż w krajach UE-12. W tych ostatnich od początku pierwszej dekady obecnego stulecia zachodziły wyraźne zmiany. Wiązały się one z procesem postępującej specjalizacji w produkcji i eksporcie małych samochodów, który wyraźnie nasilił się w okresie kryzysu finansowo-gospodarczego. Po pierwsze, w krajach UE-15 wzrósł udział pionowego IIT wysokiej jakości w handlu pojazdami oraz udział pionowego IIT niskiej jakości w handlu komponentami motoryzacyjnymi. Po drugie, w krajach UE-12 zwiększyło się znaczenie pionowego IIT niskiej jakości w handlu pojazdami oraz znaczenie pionowego IIT wysokiej jakości w handlu komponentami motoryzacyjnymi.

The aim of the paper is to investigate the development of the intra-industry trade (IIT) in the automotive trade in the European Union during the period of 1995-2010. A special attention is paid to changes in the IIT patterns. Over the period, the IIT intensity both in motor vehicles, and parts and accessories thereof increased in the new EU countries (EU12), whereas in the old EU countries (EU15) a growth of the IIT indices only in the automobile components was noticed. The IIT pattern in the automotive trade of the EU15 was relatively more stable in comparison to the one in the automotive trade of the EU12. The process of progressive specialisation in production and exports of small cars in the EU12 intensified in 2009, during the economic and financial crisis. First, the share of the high quality vertical IIT in motor vehicles and the share of the low quality vertical IIT in automobile components in the EU15 increased. Second, the share of the low quality vertical IIT in motor vehicles and the share of the high quality vertical IIT in automobile components in the EU12 grew.

Detroit likes to be called the Moto City. The city used to be one of the most important automotive regions of the world and one of the strongest industrial regions of the United States. The long-standing position of Detroit as the world market leader was significantly tarnished because of a number of questionable decisions, including financial ones and a misguided automotive policy. As the result, the city eventually had to file for bankruptcy. However, this does not mean the end of this very important place on the arena of international automotive industry. The aim of this paper is to present the plan of corrective actions and supporting steps undertaken by the U.S. Government in order to restore the importance of the city of Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit lubi być określane mianem miasta motoryzacyjnego „Moto City”. Należy ono do grona najważniejszych regionów motoryzacyjnych świata a także jest jednym z najsilniejszych regionów przemysłowych w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Wieloletnia pozycja miasta na arenie światowej jako lidera, została znacząco nadszarpnięta za sprawą m.in. wątpliwej jakości decyzji - w tym finansowych oraz błędnej polityki samochodowej. Doprowadziło to w konsekwencji do złożenia wniosku o upadłość. Nie oznacza to jednak końca przemysłu samochodowego na tym obszarze. Niniejszy artykuł, oparty na badaniach literaturowych, zawiera prezentację wsparcia i działań naprawczych podejmowanych przez rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki w celu przywrócenia znaczenia Detroit w stanie Michigan i na świecie.

Objectives The automotive industry represents the most important industrial sector in Czechia. The objective of this study has been to analyze the occurrence of occupational diseases (OD) in the automotive industry during the period from 2001 till 2014. Material and Methods Data on OD cases was retrieved from the National Registry of OD. Further, we conducted a survey in automotive companies with focus on occupational health services and positions of the companies in global production networks (GPNs). An analysis of OD distribution in the automotive industry was performed (age, gender, company size and its role in GPNs, regional distribution of studied companies, and regional unemployment rate), and was accompanied by assessment of the quality and range of occupational health services. Results Employees older than 40 years old have nearly 2.5 times higher probability of OD occurrence as compared with employees younger than 40 years old (odds ratio (OR) = 2.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.05–2.85). Occupational diseases occurrence probability was 3 times higher for women than for men (OR = 3.01, 95% CI: 2.55–3.55). Occupational diseases incidence rates increased with the size of the company (0 OD/10 000 employees in micro enterprises to 57 OD/10 000 employees in large enterprises). A particularly steep rise in OD incidents in the automotive industry was observed in the Plzeň Region between 2001 and 2011. An association between OD incidents and the unemployment rate was not statistically confirmed. Conclusions A statistically significant increase in OD incidents dependent on company size may be arguably attributed to a higher quality of occupational medical services in bigger companies, which ensures better detection and diagnosis of OD. In the Plzeň Region, the rapid increase in OD incidents was mainly caused by a change in the production process of automobile textiles in one factory due to the introduction of a glue containing isocyanates, which are potent allergising agents. This led to an increase in occupational allergic diseases – bronchial asthma in particular. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(3):455–468

W sierpniu 2017 r. z inicjatywy USA rozpoczęły się rozmowy w sprawie renegocjacji NAFTA. Oficjalnymi przesłankami renegocjacji było dostosowanie Układu do wymogów XXI w. oraz ponowne zrównoważenie korzyści dla sygnatariuszy, które – zdaniem rządu D. Trumpa – nie rozkładają się równomiernie, o czym świadczy utrata miejsc pracy w przemyśle amerykańskim oraz deficyt obrotów towarowych USA z Kanadą i Meksykiem. Zmiana warunków handlu między sygnatariuszami NAFTA wpłynie nie tylko na ich stosunki wzajemne, ale i na handel z partnerami spoza ugrupowania, w tym z Unią Europejską. Niniejszy artykuł ma dwa cele: 1) wstępną ocenę potencjalnych następstw modyfikacji NAFTA lub wycofania się USA z Układu dla polskiej branży motoryzacyjnej, problem istotny ze względu na silne powiązania między producentami unijnymi i północnoamerykańskimi oraz spodziewane zaostrzenie reguł pochodzenia NAFTA na samochody i części samochodowe oraz 2) wyciągnięcie wstępnych wniosków z renegocjacji NAFTA pod kątem ewentualnego wznowienia rozmów UE z USA w sprawie umowy o wolnym handlu. W artykule przeanalizowano charakter powiązań handlowych między sygnatariuszami NAFTA, cele negocjacyjne USA, główne punkty sporne oraz możliwe scenariusze zakończenia renegocjacji. We wnioskach wskazano m.in. dziedziny, w których w przyszłych negocjacjach UE-USA należy liczyć się ze szczególnie protekcjonistycznym podejściem strony amerykańskiej, oraz możliwe dwojakie skutki renegocjacji NAFTA dla polskiej branży motoryzacyjnej.

In August 2017, on the initiative of the United States, talks on the renegotiation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) were launched. The US official motivation was to update the Agreement to the requirements of the 21st century economy and rebalance benefits for signatories. The gains, according to the Trump administration, have not been evenly distributed, given the US manufacturing job losses and trade deficits with Canada and Mexico. The remodelled NAFTA may affect not only its signatories’ mutual relations, but also trade with partners outside the grouping, including the European Union. The paper has two goals: 1) to assess primarily the potential consequences of NAFTA modification or the U.S. withdrawal from NAFTA for the Polish automotive industry, given strong linkages between NAFTA and European auto manufacturers and the expected strengthening of NAFTA automobile rules of origin, 2) to draw preliminary conclusions from the NAFTA renegotiation for the prospective resumption of EU-US talks on the multilateral agreement. The article analyses the US negotiating objectives, the main sticking points and the possible outcome of renegotiations. In the conclusions there were indicated inter alia the areas in which, in the future EU-US trade talks, one will have to reckon with an especially protectionist approach on the American side. Possible two-fold effects of the NAFTA renegotiations for the Polish automotive industry were also pointed out.

The aim of the paper was to propose a model of relationship between car brand image on customer loyalty. A questionnaire-based research was carried out. As a method of elaborating the results structural equations modeling was chosen. Brand image turned out to be a two-dimensional construct. Then a path model was built, according to which brand perception in a dimension “family trust” strongly influences customer loyalty, while the impact of a dimension “innovative dynamics” is statistically insignificant. A practical implication of the study is claiming the role and dimensionality of brand image in shaping consumer loyalty on passenger cars market.

Celem artykułu było opracowanie modelu związku wizerunku marki samochodu osobowego z lojalnością klientów. Przeprowadzono badanie ankietowe. Jako metodę opracowania wyników wykorzystano modelowanie równań strukturalnych. Wizerunek marki okazał się konstruktem dwuwymiarowym. Dalej skonstruowano model ścieżkowy, zgodnie z którym postrzeganie marki w wymiarze „rodzinnego zaufania” silnie wpływa na lojalność klientów, podczas gdy wpływ wymiaru „innowacyjna dynamika” jest statystycznie nieistotny. Implikacją praktyczną artykułu jest wykazanie roli i wymiarowości wizerunku marki w kształtowaniu lojalności klientów na rynku samochodów osobowych.

The automotive industry is one of the main branches of the Polish economy, with a large share in generating gross value added and maintaining jobs. The COVID-19 pandemic still has a negative impact on the automotive industry, which before the pandemic was already burdened with numerous restrictions regarding, among others, limitation of exhaust emissions, thanks to EU directives. The size of the losses will depend on the scenario of the virus spreading in Poland, as well as the effectiveness of the remedial actions taken. The aim of the study is to present the main changes taking place due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, extended by the analysis of the production of motorcycles. The subject of the research are companies operating in the automotive industry. The time range was determined by the duration of the pandemic and mainly covers the year 2020, however, in order to present a reliable picture of the entire automotive industry, the data is also referenced to the period before the pandemic, i.e. 2018–2019. Based on the available statistical data, an analysis of the existing situation was carried out, initially estimating the level of losses in the industry and the employee remuneration structure. The current situation on the market was also assessed in terms of the changes and the adopted corrective solutions.

Focusing on the history of the Polish main car factory, the FSO, the paper examines two modernisation waves in the country’s automotive industry: the socialist Government’s purchase of a license from the Italian Fiat in the 1960s and the acquisition of the factory by the Daewoo Corporation in the 1990s. The history of the FSO as an enterprise shows, above all, the pitfalls of dependent development. It has, however, resulted in the training of a class of specialists and engineers for whom the implementation of foreign technologies and management cultures presented opportunities for self-advancement, redefinitions of their identity, along with reconsiderations of the value and meaning of work.

Artykuł oparty jest na badaniach wykonanych wśród 113 mężczyzn pracujących na linii produkcyjnej zakładu produkcyjnego przemysłu motoryzacyjnego. Dobór do grupy badawczej następował po analizie biomechanicznej materiału filmowego, na którym zarejestrowano pracę na poszczególnych stanowiskach zakładu. Badano mężczyzn z działu montażu i odlewni zakładu produkcyjnego. Pracownicy z wybranych miejsc linii produkcyjnej brali udział w badaniu ankietowym. Uzyskano informacje na temat przyjmowanych pozycji ciała w trakcie pracy zawodowej, znajomości zasad ergonomii, stażu pracy oraz aktywności fizycznej w czasie wolnym. Pytano o występowanie bólu kręgosłupa z wyszczególnieniem na odcinek szyjny i lędźwiowy. Liczne dolegliwości bólowe kręgosłupa skłoniły do poszukiwania związku między bólem a stażem pracy oraz wiekiem pracowników fizycznych. Istnieje statystycznie istotna różnica między średnią siłą bólu odcinka szyjnego oraz lędźwiowego kręgosłupa a grupą stażu pracy. Badania pokazują, że ankietowani nie posiadają wiedzy na temat patobiomechanizmu zmian przeciążeniowych. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy potwierdzają istnienie problemu występowania zmian przeciążeniowych wśród pracowników przemysłu motoryzacyjnego.

This present article is based on the research performed by one hundred and thirteen men working on the production line of at an automotive manufacturing plant. The selection of the research group was made after a biomechanical analysis of the film material in which the work had been recorded at the various plant sites. Workers from the assembly and foundry departments of the plant were examined. The workers from the selected production line sites participated in a survey. The obtained information regarded body position during work, knowledge of ergonomics, seniority and physical activity during leisure time. The spine pain was reported to be detailed in the cervical and lumbar sections. Numerous painful spinal disorders prompted the search for a link between pain and work experience as well as the age of labourers. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean pain intensity of the cervical and lumbar spine groups of seniority. Studies show that the respondents have no knowledge of the nature of overload lesions. The results of the analysis confirm the existence of the problem of overload lesions among employees of the automotive industry.

As early as in 2000, Colombia was considered a highly politically unstable country in which a long-standing armed conflict between the army and various guerrilla groups and drug traffickers had been going on for a long time. These conditions hampered economic development, limited the development of industry and negatively affected consumer behaviour of inhabitants. The peace talks initiated at the beginning of the 21st century led to a gradual stabilisation of the internal situation in the country, which became an impulse for accelerating economic development and improving consumer moods. The automotive industry was one of those sectors of the economy that gained a strong development impulse. This was reflected in the increase in employment and production of new cars, which in the period 2000–2017 increased significantly. The sales of new cars grew even more dynamically which was associated with an increase in imports and a deterioration in the trade balance of this sector. The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of political stability and the associated improvement in the economic situation in Colombia on the development of the car industry driven by the growth in sales of new vehicles. Efforts were also made to determine the impact of the level of economic development and road infrastructure on the regional diversification of sales of new cars.

Jeszcze w 2000 roku Kolumbia uznawana była za kraj wysoce niestabilny politycznie, w którym od dłuższego czasu trwał konflikt zbrojny między wojskiem a różnymi grupami partyzanckimi oraz handlarzami narkotyków. Utrudniało to rozwój gospodarczy, ograniczało rozwój przemysłu i negatywnie wpływało na zachowania konsumenckie ludności. Zapoczątkowane na początku XXI wieku rozmowy pokojowe doprowadziły do stopniowego ustabilizowania sytuacji wewnętrznej w kraju, co stało się impulsem do przyspieszenia rozwoju gospodarczego oraz poprawy nastrojów konsumenckich. Przemysł samochodowy był jednym z tych sektorów gospodarki, które zyskały zdecydowany impuls rozwojowy. Znalazło to swoje odzwierciedlenie we wzroście zatrudnienia oraz produkcji nowych samochodów, które w latach 2000–2017 znacząco wzrosły. Jeszcze dynamiczniej wzrosła sprzedaż nowych aut, co wiązało się ze wzrostem importu i pogorszeniem bilansu handlowego tego sektora. Głównym celem jest określenie wpływu stabilizacji politycznej i związanej z nią poprawy sytuacji gospodarczej w Kolumbii na rozwój przemysłu samochodowego napędzany wzrostem sprzedaży nowych pojazdów. Starano się również określić wpływ poziomu rozwoju gospodarczego i infrastruktury drogowej na regionalne zróżnicowanie sprzedaży nowych samochodów.
