Foreign Subsidiaries in Emerging Markets and Export Performance: The Case of Poland

Abstract

A response of multinational enterprises to a rapidly changing institutional environment in Poland during its post-communist transition period was swift. It was particularly strongly reflected in an instant involvement of foreign subsidiaries in export operations. An exploratory longitudinal analysis presented in this paper shows existence of three categories of foreign subsidiaries: instant, quick, and late exporters. Subsequent cluster analysis reveals nine patterns of growth across these three categories of exporters.
