Abstract
The fragmentation of the product life cycle and production processes in general opens up greater possibilities of technology transfer into Central and Eastern European economies. It may also speed up the process of catching up. Using case studies in three countries of Central Europe and in Ukraine in Eastern Europe an explanation is offered for the incidence and features of strategic co-operative agreements between firms in these countries and western partners. The computer and software industries in Central Europe have benefited from rapid growth and technological adjustment. The lack of business infrastructure in Ukraine has led to local companies being heavily dependent on their foreign partners and ‘fake’ alliances have been formed. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
