Abstract

The defining result of this study is that the early operations of MNEs in the CEE transition economies saw this region as mainly a distinctively separate and strategically-isolated competitive environment. Indeed there is a clear suggestion that the dominant focus of these initial market-seeking (MS) investments was constrained to their individual host countries. In terms of our articulation of the strategic aims of contemporary networked MNEs, and the opening (as a key component of transition) of CEE economies to internationalized competition, an instructive way of analysing these initial choices is then mainly as a rejection of the alternative of efficiency-seeking (ES).
