Opis

This title was first published in 2003. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has proved the most dynamic defensive and offensive response for transition economies faced with globalization, yet outward FDI has so far been overlooked in research. The vitality of outward FDI as an entry mode to the global economy is discussed in this authoritative volume. Based on a focused case study, the book provides valuable lessons for other EU candidate countries and transition economies.

Recenzje

'...the authors have presented a significant and competent study, which makes a valuable contribution towards the understanding of the role of outward FDI in Slovenia's economic development and transition process. Most important, the case study of Slovenia offers many learning opportunities for other transition economies, and may be used as a starting point for similar studies in the region.' South-Eastern Europe Journal of Economics
