Business Related Services in Central and Eastern Europe

Because of the unreliability or the complete lack of statistical data a comprehensive analysis of the economic and social changes in Central and Eastern Europe is nearly impossible. However, since the beginning of the economic transition numerous new types of business services have been established and it can be assumed that their development and their impact are an indication of the success or the failure of the ongoing transformation processes.
The focus of this book is on the examination of specific procedures for the collection and evaluation of information concerning business related services in Central and Eastern economies. Experts from formerly planned economies and, for reasons of comparison, from Ireland analyse and assess the state of selected business services and formulate policy recommendations for the acceleration of the restructuring process.
