Abstract

A koronavírus-járvány által okozott gazdasági visszaesés eltérő módon érintette az egyes vállalatokat. Kutatásunk a világjárványnak a Magyarországon működő külföldi tulajdonú autóipari és elektronikai leányvállalatokra gyakorolt hatására koncentrál. Tizenöt vállalat képviselőivel készített interjúk alapján elemezzük, hogy a járvány milyen mértékben hatott ezekre a vállalatokra, milyen válságkezelő intézkedéseket vezettek be, és mennyire támaszkodtak az elérhető állami támogatásokra. Eredményeink nagyrészt összhangban vannak a nemzetközi szakirodalom megállapításaival, de néhány új elemmel is kiegészítik azokat. Többek között megállapítjuk, hogy nemcsak az ágazat, hanem a tevékenység jellemzői is fontosak a járvány gazdasági hatása szempontjából, illetve azt is, hogy a külföldi tulajdonú leányvállalatok ritkán szorulnak állami pénzügyi támogatásra. Magyarországon akárcsak más országokban az elbocsátás valóban a válságkezelés utolsó eszköze, miközben a válságkezelésben a vállalati szintű szolidaritás erősödésének jelei is kimutathatók.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: F23, H12, L62, L63.
