Abstrakt

Szybki rozwój branży usług dla biznesu jest jedną z cech charakterystycznych współczesnej gospodarki. Razem z pozostałymi państwami Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej, Polska jest jednym z zyskujących na znaczeniu miejsc lokalizacji firm z tego sektora. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie i porównanie branży usług dla biznesu w Indiach, Irlandii i Polsce. Zarówno Indie, jak i Irlandia, są wyróżniającymi się miejscami dla lokalizacji usług tego typu. Dlatego też porównanie stanu i warunków funkcjonowania sektora w tych krajach i w Polsce wydaje się być ciekawe. W pracy przeprowadzono badania literaturowe w celu wskazania motywów podejmowania zagranicznych inwestycji usługowych przez firmy i wyboru czynników mających znaczenie dla lokalizacji centrów usługowych. W części empirycznej czynniki te zostały poddane analizie metodą deskryptywną w odniesieniu do badanych krajów. Pozwoliło to na wyciągnięcie wniosków dotyczących Polski. Do pewnego stopnia, Polska posiada niektóre pozytywne cechy zarówno Indii, jak i Irlandii. Tłumaczy to duży współcześnie napływ inwestycji z branży usługowej do Polski.
