Knowledge-intensive Services in Post-Socialist Cities From the Perspective of 20 Years of a Free Market Economy – the Polish Experience
(Rossijskij Universitet Družby Narodov, Moskva, 2013) Środa-Murawska, Stefania; Nicolaus Copernicus University
It was not until after 1989 that Poland and other countries in Central and Eastern Europe started their post-Fordian restructuring that increased the importance of services, including knowledge-based services, in their economies. The purpose of this study was to analyse and assess the level of development of knowledge-intensive services (KIS) in the largest cities in Poland 20 years from the collapse of the communist system. To this end, the location quotient and the establishment rate were calculated for 273,441 KIS firms that in 2010 operated in cities with populations in excess of 200,000. It has been found that 13 out of 17 cities considered in the study have relatively higher concentrations of the firms than the rest of the country. Most KIS firms in the largest cities provide high-tech knowledge intensive services and also show the strongest correlation with the level of economic development, individual entrepreneurship and the indicators of human capital quality in the cities. The structure of the Polish KIS sector changes following main trends in the world economy – the providers of the services seek to locate in the largest cities

The servicisation process based on the structure of employment in large German cities in 1996-2002
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2007) Środa-Murawska, Stefania; Szymańska, Daniela; Nicolaus Copernicus University
The paper concentrates on the changes in the service sector as they are visible in the studies of the structure of employment in larger German towns (above 100 thousand inhabitants; exchangeably called cities later in the text) in the period 1996-2002. The population of German towns with such high number of dwellers amounts to 24 million people, who constitute 30% of the population of the country, and at the same time 40% of the employed in Germany. The analyses presented in the paper point out a few significant changes in the economy and in the social sphere of German cities. On one hand, these changes may be seen in continuous deindustrialisation; and on the other hand in a permanent growth of the service sector (characteristic of the 70s and onwards especially in East Germany). Moreover, the paper notices some additional major changes in the structure of the subsectors and movements in the structure of the employment in services in Germany.
