This title was first published in 2002: This is a unique volume among the existing literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) because it addresses the aspect of FDI outflows from CEE countries, rather than the traditional focus on inward flows. 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.
