Publisher's Synopsis
This study highlights business opportunities coupled with higher-than-average risks. The legal, political and economic environments of countries in transition are uncertain, but so too is the ability of Western companies to select appropriate investments and manage companies in different stages of transition. The text includes information on vital areas of concern, including: the current legal environment for privatization; the effects of the European Agreements on the future business environment; geographical areas and sectors of relative stability; and comparison of different business environments and regulatory regimes in the region.
