ABOUT THE EDITORS
Slavo Radosevic is Reader in Industrial and Corporate Change at University College
London, School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies. He has published
extensively on issues of industrial change and innovation in CEE (Industrial and
Corporate Change, Research Policy, Technovation, Structural Change and
Economic Dynamics, Scientometrics, Technology Analysis and Strategic
Management, Technology and Society, Economic Systems, etc). He is the author of
International Technology Transfer and ‘Catch Up’ in Economic Development,
Edward Elgar, 1999. and co-editor with D. Dyker of Innovation and Structural
Change in Post-Socialist Countries : A Quantitative Approach, Kluwer Academic
Publishers, Dordrecht, 1999.
Bert M. Sadowski, works as an Associate Professor at the University of
Technology Eindhoven, the Netherlands. His research interest has been in the areas
of technology management, industrial change and new technologies
(Telecommunications Policy, Research Policy, International Journal of Technology
Management, Information Economics and Policy, Small Business Economics,
Journal of Management Studies). He is author of the book Back to Monopoly:
Opportunities and Constraints for Public and Corporate Networks in Post-
Unification Germany. New York: Avebury.
The volume has originated from two generously funded projects on
international strategic alliances and industrial restructuring in Central and Eastern
Europe by the European Commission in the ACE-Phare (P95-2071-R) and ACE-
Tacis (P95-4003-R) Framework Programs as well as the ESRC funded project ‘The
emerging industrial architecture of the wider Europe’ No L213252037. It represents
up-to-date empirical material and links to the current theoretical debate on the issue
of management of international strategic alliances during industrial restructuring in
Central and Eastern Europe.

PREFACE
Our interest in this book has been driven by strong professional and personal
motivations to understand processes of transformation from centrally planned
socialist to market based capitalist economies. The contributors to this volume have
been formed by and started their careers in the socialist/communist period and/or
share a profound interest in recent transformations in this region. We believe that
this personal motivation has very much shaped the making of this book and our
relentless desire to explain processes of post-socialist transformation.
Workshops in Maastricht (the Netherlands), at the Balaton Lake in Hungary,
in Brighton (United Kingdom) and in Moscow (Russia) also constituted important
milestones in shaping the book. Several versions of the manuscript, numerous
emails, telephone calls, meetings between the two editors and our belief that the
issues covered in this volume will become even more relevant to the future of
Central and Eastern Europe have gradually led to the final shape of the book. We
hope that the book will contribute to theoretical discussions in the field as well as be
of interest to business strategists, policy makers and students.
We are grateful to a number of people who have been involved in this
process. Our thanks go to David Dyker, whose Scottish enthusiasm for everything
related to Central and Eastern Europe not only shaped this book but also the career
path of both editors. Thanks also to all the contributors who understood our
relentless desire to achieve highest academic standards by pushing for up-to-date
material, clarity and analytical content. Special thanks go to Cathelijne van
Herwaarden and Herma Drees from Kluwer Academic Publishers for their
continuous support and their belief in our project.
This book is dedicated to Isa Karina Sadowski, who yet has to discover her
roots in the East, and to Despina and Nicholas Radosevic, for whom crossing
borders has become a way of life.
