Abstract

The paper presents the spatial diversity of economic effectiveness of corporate firms in the Dolnośląskie Voivodship (region). Research was conducted for local units of the region; it was based on Coface Intercredit data. The volume of total turnover, the profit, employment, and trade relations were analysed.Authors try to indicate conditioning of activity of the corporate firms in the region in the spatial perspective. They present the position of the Voivodship in Poland in terms of the studied parameters.Research of economic effectiveness of the specific kind of enterprises is now carried out with difficulty. It is because of the lack of available and reliable data. Ambiguity of accepted criteria of identification is the next problem of indicating the corporate firms. In the paper the criterion of client segmentation by financial institutions is used. And that is why in the paper economic effectiveness is presented only for units, whose total profits are more than 5 million zlotys.The corporate firms are of great importance in the local as well as state economy. They contribute to the economic increase of areas of their activity. They might contribute to the investment attractiveness of these areas too.
