Erschienen: Wiley, 1999 Erschienen in: Thunderbird International Business Review, 41 (1999) 1, Seite 107-130 Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/tie.4270410109 ISSN: 1096-4762; 1520-6874 Schlagwörter: Political Science and International Relations ; Geography, Planning and Development ; Business and International Management Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: AbstractInvestment conditions in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe favor long‐term strategic investments. Increasing competition pressures in the saturated West European beer markets coupled with shrinking demand challenged Interbrew SA, Belgium to enter the emergent prospective markets of Central and Eastern Europe by the acquisition of former state‐owned enterprises. The study of Interbrew's case shows the linkages existing between investor internationalization strategy, motives, strategy implementation, and adaptation in the highly volatile markets of Hungary and Bulgaria. This case represents a good example of slow reactive strategy development in the Hungarian environment leading the investor to the loss of its first mover advantage. Using similar motives for its acquisitions in Bulgaria, Interbrew has successfully implemented a proactive adaptation of its initial Central and Eastern European strategy to the Bulgarian environment. The lessons from the case can be used by foreign investors to increase their chances for success in FDI acquisition in transitional economies. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
