Socio-economic aftereffects of the privatisation of Kombinat Belišće on the city of Belišće

Abstract

Belišće je grad koji se nalazi na sjeveroistoku Republike Hrvatske i koji je od svoga postanka bio industrijski grad. Industrija i danas igra veliku ulogu u ekonomskoj strukturi grada Belišća, ali ona ima i društveni značaj jer je oduvijek bila temelj društvenog života. Pod zajedničkim imenom Kombinat Belišće poslovalo je industrijsko poduzeće za preradu i proizvodnju kartonske ambalaže, proizvodnju drvenog briketa, te jedan dio za proizvodnju radnih strojeva. Pretvorbom i privatizacijom, koja se dogodila tik nakon završetka Domovinskog rata, zaposlenost i struktura industrije u Belišću se znatno promijenila. Danas je bivši Kombinat Belišće podijeljen na više tvrtki koje su u stranom vlasništvu. Neke od njih su Harburg-Freudenberger Belišće d.o.o., DS Smith Belišće d.o.o. i TEO d.o.o. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati direktne i indirektne posljedice pretvorbe i privatizacije Kombinata Belišće na industrijsku proizvodnju u gradu, ali i na stanovništvo grada Belišća. U radu će biti korištene statističke metode analize podataka, metode indukcije i dedukcije, te analiza intervjua sa bivšim i sadašnjim radnicima Kombinata Belišće, odnosno nekim od novonastalih tvrtki.Belišće is a town located in the northeast of the Republic of Croatia and since its inception was an industrial city. The industry still has a big role in the economic structure of the city of Belišće, but it also has an important role in the social life of the city. Under the common name Kombinat Belišće was a company for the processing and production of cardboard packaging, production of wooden briquettes and a part for the production of industrial machines. Privatization, which started just after the end of the Homeland war as well as employment and structure of the industry in Belišće changed considerably. Today, the former Kombinat Belišće is divided into several foreign-owned companies. Some of them are Harburg-Freudenberger Belišće d.o.o., DS Smith Belišće d.o.o., Fochista d.o.o. and TEO d.o.o. The aim of this paper is to show the direct and indirect consequences of privatization of Kombinati Belišće to the industrial production in the city as well as to the inhabitants of the city of Belišće. Statistical methods of data analysis, induction and deduction methods, analysis of interviews with former and present employees of Kobminat Belišće will be used
