Sommario/riassunto

Following the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe, immediate concerns for the former socialist states have been largely economic. However, whilst much has been written about government policies, relatively little has addressed change at the enterprise level. This book does this by means of case studies and careful cross-country comparisons.
