jak to sie dzieje, ze w konkurencji o zagranicznych investorow polska przegrywa
z czechami? ze np. toyota investuje w kolinie a nie w walbrzychu?
przegrywamy moim zdaniem juz na samym poczatku wyscigu o inwestora czyli na
etapie promocji kraju. wystarczy porownac strony paiz-u (www.paiz.gov.pl i
czeskiego czechinvestu (www.czechinvest.org).
na naszych stronach dominuja optycznie "njusy", kotre dla potencjalnego
investora sa raczej bez znaczenia, na czeskich konkretne argumenty dlaczego
czesi sa najlepsi... albo w krajach oecd albo przynajmniej w krajach
kandydackich.
ich strony mozna przegladac rowniez po niemiecku i japonsku, nasze tylko po
angielsku.
ponizej mala probka czeskich umiejetnosci "marketingowych".
moze powinnismy promowac polske bardziej "agresywnie" co o tym myslicie?
Cost Driver Analysis
CzechInvest has identified two key cost drivers that make the Czech Republic
stand out in relation to its regional competitors: the benefits created by
investment incentives and the total cost of labour.
Investment Incentives
Comprehensive details on the Czech incentives scheme for manufacturing and
service sector firms can be viewed in an Investment Incentives section.
Cost of labour
It is cheaper for foreign investors to operate in the Czech Republic paying
Czech salaries at all key skill levels within your company than in either
Hungary or Poland…
Base salary levels are consistently lower in the Czech Republic than in our
central European competitors. The difference is particularly noticeable in the
management grades, but the Czech Republic’s advantage over Poland extends to
the lower unskilled grades also. A similar pattern is visible when viewing
total compensation figures.

When combining base salaries and ‘on costs’, the Czech Republic is a clear
winner against both Hungary and Poland…
While the employers’ share of ‘on costs’ is lower in Poland than the Czech
Republic, the differential in base salary levels between the two countries [see
Tables A & B] makes the Czech Republic significantly more competitive than
Poland.
The employer’s costs for overtime or three-shift working in the Czech Republic
are also likely to be lower than in Hungary due to the method of overtime
payment calculation. The structure of Czech ‘on costs’ means that your
employees take home a higher percentage of their gross salary than in either
Hungary or Poland.

Looking at the overall skills, labour & costs dimension there are two related
factors where the Czech Republic scores over its regional competitors: the
language capabilities of the workforce and its relative youthfulness.
Czechs have a better knowledge of English than their counterparts in Poland and
are almost three times’ more likely to speak a major European language…
The Czech workforce is articulate as well as adaptable. Compared to Poland, our
major rival in the region, the Czechs and the Czech workforce have been
surveyed by the OECD as more able to use a major European language in the
workplace and more linguistically able at every education level.
Foreign investors have found themselves well able to find educated workers &
managers outside of the capital Prague that can work & communicate with head
office in English and German (see Schoeller & Dura Automotive CZ testimonials).

The Czech workforce is relatively young as there is a demographic bulge in the
age group of 20-27 year olds in the Czech Republic that has introduced around
20% more people into the Czech workforce during the past few years. This is as
a result of a communist period pro-birth policy operating in the early 1970s.
The number of people recently entering the Czech workforce who were born during
that decade is around 150,000 higher than normal.
