It is in this way that they are meant to attract investors, mainly foreign ones. Although such a policy approach is sometimes contested among economists, politicians seem to favour this method, particularly in emerging and developing markets. Poland has also introduced SEZs, which continue to gain in importance. The inflow of investment into a particular SEZ can be a function of not only a region’s attractiveness, but also of endogenic conditions characteristic of the zone, such as possessed land, infrastructure and its accessibility and, finally, the quality of the performance of the company managing the zone. This last factor has been the subject of our research, carried out using descriptive statistics. Test results suggest that the efforts of the companies managing the zones with regards to wooing investors (e.g. through promotions, infrastructure development) are important in increasing the flow of both foreign and domestic investment.}, doi = {10.4467/23539496IB.16.045.5626}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/ibage/article/specjalne-strefy-ekonomiczne-w-polsce-a-aktywnosc-spolek-zarzadzajacych} }
