Poland stands out from its neighbours
Article Abstract:
Since the collapse of communism, Poland has been able to adapt its economy to encourage foreign investment which reached $2 billion during the first six months of 1996. Poland is often the first choice for investors looking for investment possibilities in eastern Europe because of its economic stability, good labour force and large market for goods and services. Polish businesses have adapted to a western style of management and are aware of the need for profits. New investors from Japan and Korea are showing interest in Poland which will provide increased competition for companies from the west.
