The Case of the Company Towns of the Baťa Concern
Original language description
Author outlines in this paper the current state of understanding of the topic and presents existing investigations of the Baťa concern's history. He then focuses his attention on three very topical areas of research in contemporary economic and social historiography (the defined concepts of "company towns," "Fordism," and "multinational corporations"), the results of which seem to be highly relevant and useful for grasping the topic. He synopsizes current knowledge on the Baťa concern's method of expansion, the character of its growth and the related transformations of its structure. He also devotes attention to the background against which the specific type of industrial arrangement (a Fordist company town) emerged at the Baťa concern, and on a reviewof the main traits of the concern's program at the end of the interwar period. At the end of this introductory section, possibilities and directions are suggested for further research on Baťa company towns.
