Przedsiębiorstwa państwowe na liście Fortune Global 500 w latach 2005-2012
State-Onwed Enterprises on The Fortune Global 500

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to verify the hypothesis of the growing importance of state ownership in the world economy in recent years. For this purpose, we analyze state-owned enterprises on the Fortune Global 500 list from 2005 to 2012. SOEs on the list were examined by the share in total revenues, profi ts, employment, assets and equity. Furthermore, the group was studied by country and industry. The results allow for a positive verifi cation of the hypothesis (the return of the state-owned enterprises) in relation to the world’s largest companies. The number of state-owned enterprises on the list during the period increased from 49 to 95. The increases were also observed in the share of state-owned enterprises in other categories. This was the result of the growth of the Chinese economy, where SOEs have a particularly significant role.
