Abstract
Celem artykułu jest określenie stopnia i trendów koncentracji B+R w korporacjach transnarodowych w ujęciu geograficznym oraz branżowym. Analiza przeprowadzona została w oparciu o wskaźniki koncentracji oraz Indeks Herfindahla-Hirschmana w grupie tysiąca KTN o najwyższych nakładach na B+R w latach 2003-2014. Badania potwierdziły wysoki stopień koncentracji geograficznej i branżowej oraz pokazały, że wśród KTN silniejsza jest koncentracja związana z krajem macierzystym aniżeli z branżą, w której firma funkcjonuje. Pomimo ogólnego niewielkiego spadku intensywności koncentracji w badanym okresie zaobserwowano odwrócenie się tego trendu w ostatnich latach, a mianowicie wzrost koncentracji branżowej od 2010 r. oraz koncentracji geograficznej od 2013 r. (abstrakt oryginalny)

The aim of the article is to determine the degree and the trends of the transnational corporations' R&D concentration process on the geographic and industrial level. The analysis was conducted based on the concentration ratios and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index in the group of a thousand TNCs with the highest R&D expenditures in the years 2003-2014. It demonstrates a high degree of geographic and industrial concentration. In addition, the studies have shown that among TNCs, a stronger concentration is associated with the country of origin than with the industrial sector in which the company operates. Despite an overall slight decrease in the intensity of concentration in the analysed period, there was a reversal of this trend in recent years, namely the increase of the industrial concentration since 2010 and of the geographic concentration since 2013.
