When Economies Change Hands
A Survey of Entrepreneurship in the Emerging Markets of Europe from the
Balkans to the Baltic States

Leo Paul Dana, MBA, PhD
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of International Entrepreneurship, South Island,
New Zealand

About The Book: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the development of
entrepreneurship across Eastern Europe
Details: http://www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=5292

Throughout Eastern Europe, post-Communist countries transitioning to
market-based economies are obtaining a variety of results due to diverse
policy approaches. When Economies Change Hands evaluates the nature of
entrepreneurship in this region, the consequences of central planning, the
reasons for internal subsistence activity, and the emergence of the sex
trade in Eastern Europe. The wealth of information in this resource is
clearly presented and includes thought-provoking policy prescriptions for
the future.

It is challenging to predict the direction emerging markets will take,
particularly when dealing with the wide-ranging social and economic
situations taking place in post-Communist Eastern Europe. When Economies
Change Hands can help. This reference volume for policymakers, educators,
investors, and researchers provides a much-needed and timely survey of the
transitioning markets of post-Communist Europe. It examines the historical,
sociocultural, and economic impacts of market transition. The text includes
a discussion of the creation and distribution of wealth in the countries of
Eastern Europe that will leave you better informed about the dynamics of
transitioning economies and the growth of entrepreneurship across Eastern
Europe. In addition, the book demonstrates the problems and advantages of
both slow reform and rapid reform models in a thorough and easy-to-read
manner. When Economies Change Hands includes vivid photos of notable
entrepreneurs and a sophisticated trail of references for academics that
complements the useful and meaningful information you will find in the text.

When Economies Change Hands examines how various policies affect the
economies of transitioning countries by incorporating and discussing:

detailed definitions and comparisons of formal and parallel economies

an in-depth study of entrepreneurship in the Republic of Albania, the
Eastern Bloc of Comecon, The Baltic States, and the Commonwealth of
Independent States

pluralism in the former Yugoslav Republics

analyses of governmental programs and policy prescriptions for the future

and much more!
As the market economies of Eastern Europe develop and expand, the value of
this meticulous yet accessible text will continue to increase. Whether you
are a policymaker, an educator, an investor, or a researcher, When Economies
Change Hands is a resource that you’ll return to again and again as you work
to understand and predict the future of post-Communist economies in Eastern
Europe.

Reviews:   “A MUST-READ FOR MANAGERS, INVESTORS, POLICYMAKERS AND
RESEARCHERS. . . . The author does an excellent job in exploring how history
and culture affect the business of domestic and foreign entrepreneurs in
each of these emerging markets. His premise is that the local environment
does matter for entrepreneurial ventures and he puts his point forward in an
elegant way through an intensive qualitative study. In the information-rich
chapters focusing on individual countries, he convincingly stresses that
those transition economies are not alike.”
Pavlos Dimitratos, PhD, MBA, Lecturer, Athens University of Economics and
Business, Greece

  “AN INSIGHTFUL COMBINATION OF FOUNDATION, BLUEPRINT, AND ROADMAP. In the
years immediately preceding and following the collapse of the Soviet Union,
the world witnessed remarkable events. Leo Paul Dana has compiled a
country-by-country account of the transitions that occurred in the former
Soviet Republics and satellite nations. These transitions are not merely
economic, but also political, legal, social, and even technological. This
work will benefit scholars, public policymakers, economic development
specialists, and business leaders. This book gives the reader a basis for
understanding current circumstances, which will aid in making future
decisions. Additionally, Dana points the way for researchers so that they
can collect and analyze information to help practitioners.”

Advancement, Research and Support (CEDARS), University of Texas at El Paso
