Competitiveness and Industry Restructuring: The Case of Hungary

  • Chapter
Entrepreneurship and Economic Transition in Central Europe

Abstract

This paper concentrates primarily on the undiscovered side of competitiveness and industrial restructuring of the Hungarian economy, these include micro and sub-micro factors that influence the competitiveness of companies. Papers on transition are rich and valuable in the description of macro issues on the economic transition process, but they usually ignore other factors like general macro economic policy and its measurable results. In this paper, we provide a picture of the factors that enhance or prevent Hungarian enterprises from being more competitive in changing macroeconomic and international circumstances.
