Item Structural changes in the industry of Poland against the background of eastern European Union states(Wydział Nauk Geograficznych i Geologicznych UAM, 2012) Gierańczyk, Wiesława; Rachwał, TomaszIndustrial restructuring processes associated with the transformation of the system taking place in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe bring about structural changes in manufacturing intended to develop intellectually-intensive industries based on the implementation of the latest research and development (R&D) results. The purpose of this article is therefore to present changes in the role of industry in the economy of Poland based on its share in employment and gross value added in comparison with other eastern EU countries, as well as structural changes in the industrial sectors (NACE divisions). The comparison will assess the competitive position of Polish industry on international markets, particularly against the other states transforming their economies. The analysis will seek to establish to what extent the structural changes in Polish industry indicate positive effects of the country’s economic transformation.Item Transformation of Poland’s spatial-economic structure in the years 1998–2008.(Wydział Nauk Geograficznych i Geologicznych UAM, 2012) Czyż, TeresaThe article consists of two parts. Part one offers a diagnostic description of the current spatial-economic structure of Poland in which regions are divided into core and peripheral ones. The division rests on a systemic measure of the level of economic development, viz. the income potential /population potential ratio. Part two is an analysis of changes in Poland’s spatial-economic structure over the years 1998–2008 where an attempt is made to determine how far those changes coincided with visions of the country’s spatial structure presented in planning conceptions.
