13 governance Firms - competences -strategies - activities dynamic localised capabilities Territory - economic structure - society and culture - institutions governance regional and local development 1 Dynamic localised capabilities are tangible and intangible assets embodied in people, firms and governance institutions, as well as in various relationships between them in a particular territory Localised capabilities include skills and attitudes of the workforce and entrepreneurs, the quality and reliability of suppliers and a broad range of local institutions, including public authorities

18 The threat of relocation of automotive activities from Poland WHEN? 5-10 years years WHAT? Which activities? Which firms? From where? WHY? Factors encouraging relocation Factors stimulating embeddedness Kirchhoff plant in Mielec

19 Factors and forces behind the threat of relocation of automotive activities from Poland + rising labour costs, which may especially affect labour-intensive cost-sensitive production + strategic decisions made abroad + limited non-production competences, technological dependence + the secondary role of indigenous producers Volkswagen engine plant in Polkowice

20 Factors and forces preventing relocation of automotive activities from Poland + combination of high quality, rising productivity and cost advantages + economies of scale + reliability and reputation (based on local capabilities) + gradual development of product mandate of foreign subsidiaries responsibility for design and manufacturing of certain components (trend towards joint location of R&D and manufacturing) + most companies can afford and are prepared to pay much higher wages + broad and diversified supplier networks + strong linkages with German and other West European producers, partly supported by advantages of proximity (short delivery time and low logistic costs) GM plant in Gliwice

21 Berlin Workshop, November 2007 Competence development and relocation dangers in the automotive industry in Poland Thank you for your attention Boleslaw Domanski Robert Guzik Krzysztof Gwosdz Jagiellonian University, Poland

22 Position of the company in a supply chain according to origin of capital high quality, productivity and competitive cost are not sufficient conditions for indigenous firms to become first-tier and major second-tier suppliers; they lack financial and human resources to provide design and high-volume 1

23 The future of automotive production in Poland Will the trend for locating non-production competences in Poland be continued? Can the advantages of high motivation and fast response be sustained? How long manufacturing of labour-intensive products can avoid delocalization from Poland? Can indigenous companies move up the value chain? Kirchhoff body parts plant in Gliwice
