The outward direct Investment from CEECs: Can their firms compete in the global market

The article analyses the recent emergence of multinational companies (MNCs) from Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), especially the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia. The majority of MNCs from CEECs concentrate their activity regionally, though some global MNCs also exist. Geographical allocation of outward FDI gives evidence that physical distance, cultural nearness and historical ties are relevant in deciding where to invest. Past experience matters a lot, but at least equally important are ambitious plans and constant upgrading of advantages. MNCs from CEECs experienced positive net effect of outward FDI, such as improved market positions, growth of export, higher efficiency, which also enhances their competitive advantages.
