> 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
>
> "Transition and Enterprise Restructuring in Eastern Europe"
>
> HILLERØD, NORTH SEALAND, DENMARK,
> AUGUST 17-19, 2000
>
> Introduction
> With the arrival of the new millennium, Central and East Europe was
> expected to be ready to join the global world economy as a competitive
>
> partner. Yet the transition process from central plan to market
> economy
> is still not completed: while Central European countries are on their
> way into the EU, and into global business networks, many successor
> states of the Soviet Union are still struggling with the legacy of the
>
> 20th century: central plan socialism. Some enterprises have made major
>
> progress in transforming themselves from passive units in a central
> plan
> regime to becoming active players in competitive markets. Yet others
> are
> still in state-ownership or obstructed by institutional barriers or
> diffuse control structures. Across transition economies, success and
> failure often lie very close together.
> The conference aims at bringing together leading researchers
> focusing
> on enterprise level transition in Eastern Europe, and the
> reintegration
> of East European businesses into the global economy. We expect that
> the
> conference and the ongoing communication in the INTER network help us
> better to understand the challenging processes currently going on in
> institutions and enterprises in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
> Union. We hope that such increased understanding will contribute to
> the
> process of enterprise restructuring in these countries.

> INTER – International Research Network for Transition and Enterprise
> Restructuring
>
> Following the first conference on the theme of transition and

> network. The network aims at fostering the co-operation between
> researchers in the field. The Center for East European Studies has
> established a homepage
> (http://www.econ.cbs.dk/institutes/cees/workshop/wsindex.html) and a
> mailing list for the network. A database of research instruments and
> case studies is in preparation. The network is supported by the Danish
>
> Social Science Foundation.
