Editors: Trąpczyński, Piotr, Puślecki, Łukasz, Jarosiński, Mirosław (Eds.)
Contains latest empirical data on recent developments in international business in the region of Central and Eastern Europe
Blends two complementary and interrelated perspectives, at economy and firm-levels, under one common problem of competitiveness in middle-income regions
Constitutes a valuable reading for students, researchers and policy makers dealing with international business

This book presents peer-reviewed, state-of-the-art conceptual and empirical papers devoted to changes in the international competitive position of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, its countries and businesses. While the unprecedented scale of transformation in the CEE region has provided a distinct research setting for international business and economics scholars for more than two decades, there have also been recent discussions about the extent to which the region continues to have a unique business environment. The region's economies have reached different levels of market development and modern business practice adoption, with some of them now frequently classified as advanced economies. Consequently, the same level of heterogeneity among CEE countries can also be observed at the sector and business level.
The contributions in this book highlight possible sources of competitive advantage for CEE countries and firms, in light of recent intensive debates about the danger of the middle-income trap and the potential solutions to it.
