Abstract
The aim is to find out how the presence of multinational companies was able to show growth in the productivity of a group of selected regions. To achieve this goal, an indicator, to measure the intensity of foreign presences, was constructed. It gauged to which degree the capacity of the region exploited the activities of the companies. In this case, foreign direct investment was granted government support in the form of investment incentives. Based on the chosen criterion, conclusions can be made regarding the benefits of granting this kind of public support. To monitor the capacity of the region, in order to efficiently absorb the technological potential of foreign direct investment, the productivity shift in the region was investigated. This depended on the investor’s technological advancement and the proportion of investments made in the region. The development was monitored in a series of thirteen years. The primary data source is the CzechInvest database, annual reports, OECD and statistics from the Czech Statistical Office. The results show the Carlsbad region’s unfavourable position. This finding also highlights the weaknesses of the labour market and the non-use of the comparative advantage.
