Abstract
This article examines the regional restructuring of the supplier base of SkodaAuto, avehicle manufacturer in the Czech Republic (Czechia). We investigate the tieredstructure of the Škoda suppliers in Czechia by classifying 232Czech-based Škoda suppliers in three distinct tiers and comparing thedifferences in the distribution between the foreign-owned and domestic suppliers inthese tiers.We explore the changes in the spatial distribution of theŠkoda suppliers in Czechia since the beginning of the post-socialisteconomic transformation in the early 1990s, which are linked to the tiering of thesupplier base and to the differences among the individual tiers in the type of thesupplied components and in the timing of component deliveries. Both the processes ofconcentration and dispersion are identified.We then analyse the relationshipsbetween the location of the Škoda suppliers within Czechia and theirbasic characteristics such as their size, ownership, age and position in thesupplier tier. Based on the results we consider the geographic differences in theregional development potential of the Škoda supplier network in Czechia.
