The competitiveness of Central European IT exporters: Can this sector attract Western investment?

Artikel

This essay reports the results of a survey of IT exporters from Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. The survey identifies the key competitive advantages and disadvantages of Central European IT companies as they compete for outsourcing work in the US and Western European markets. The results of the survey are then interpreted in the context of data on the development of IT environments, markets and sector investment in the region. We find that unlike key competitors' governments the Central Europeans have not pursued policies of supporting their infant IT exporters, which are small and underinvested. The paper proposes a set of measures that should be taken if needed Western Investment is to start flowing into the export oriented IT sector.
