In this analysis, the supply of the business environment services and the demand generated by companies taking advantage of these services have been taken into consideration. This article is based on a field research conducted in the Wielkopolska Voivodeship. Bearing in mind that institutions and companies operating in a business environment are located predominantly in large cities which have been included into growth areas in the course of an analysis of the level of socio-economic development, questionnaire research was conducted exclusively in previously identified growth areas: the city of Poznań, Konin, Kalisz, Leszno, and Poznań county. An analysis of the demand in the business environment (companies) also considers the identified stagnation areas: Słupca, Kalisz and Pleszew counties. The questionnaire revolved around the operations of institutions and companies in a business environment, as well as a demand for business environment services on the part of companies. In particular, the research was aimed at: (1) analysing changes to the impact of business environment institutions and changes to the scope of services rendered by them and their financial situation in times of crisis; and (2) identifying the changes to the intensity and scope of relations between companies and business environment institutions in the time of economic downturn. This article presents the results of the research project “Socio-economic development and the development of the areas of growth and economic stagnation”, funded by the National Science Centre (N N306 791940 ) conducted at the Department of Regional Studies at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.</p>}, journal={Studies of the Industrial Geography Commission of the Polish Geographical Society}, author={Dominiak, Joanna}, year={2014}, month={Jan.}, pages={78–103} }
