Internationalization in Central and Eastern Europe

by Marin Alexandrov Marinov (Editor)

Overview

This title was first published in 2002: This is a unique volume among the existing variety of publications on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) because it focuses on the internationalization process taking place there. It addresses the rapid changes of the business climate in the region that have led to intensive internationalization of companies, businesses and national economies. Existing FDI books have mostly taken the perspective of attracting inward FDI flows, missing the aspect of FDI outflows from CEE countries. While foreign investors face the specific context of a region that poses new requirements to their internationalization strategies, approaches and practices, domestic companies must strive to make their businesses international. Consequently, the book presents the features of internationalization in CEE from home and host company and country perspectives, providing a fresh perspective on this major economic problem.

Editorial Reviews

'This volume makes a highly remarkable and valuable contribution to a widely neglected topic for which we should feel indebted to the editor and his colleagues...this book forms a "gold mine" for all kind of amateurs interested in this topic, namely for university students but also for lecturers and researchers and even for practitioners who aim to gain a first broad overview of the field.' Management International Review

From the Publisher

Much of the published material on foreign direct investment and internationalization of economies focuses on the ability of countries to encourage capital inflows, Marinov (Gloucestershire Business School, UK) argues that the other side of the coin is equally important and presents eight contributions that discuss the process of domestic companies and economic sectors in internationalizing beyond the borders of the Central and Eastern European countries. Looking at Slovenia, Poland, Albania, and Estonia the papers provide case studies and theoretical discussions of outflow foreign direct investment in the areas of banking, grocery retailing, and brewing.
