Abstract

Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena znaczenia czynników, które przyciągają kapitał zagraniczny do województwa łódzkiego. Podstawę do wyciągania wniosków stanowią wyniki badania kwestionariuszowego przeprowadzonego wśród 188 przedsiębiorstw z udziałem kapitału zagranicznego.Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że specyficzne cechy województwa miały niewielkie znaczenie dla inwestorów zagranicznych. Zarówno w Polsce, jak i w regionie, poszukiwali oni przede wszystkim taniej i wykwalifikowanej siły roboczej, aby obniżyć całkowite koszty produkcji. Potwierdziliśmy również, że zachęty inwestycyjne miały drugorzędne znaczenie dla napływu BIZ do gmin i powiatów województwa łódzkiego. Do inwestowania w regionie najbardziej zniechęcała infrastruktura transportowa oraz społeczna, która determinuje jakość życia w województwie. Podsumowując, napływ BIZ nie eliminuje dysproporcji wewnątrzregionalnych, wręcz przeciwnie, raczej je pogłębia.
