Investments of German MNEs into Production Networks in Central European and Baltic States
Investments of German MNEs into Production Networks in Central European and Baltic States

Summary/Abstract: In the first part of the paper, which is dedicated to the theories related to MNEs, strategic management, FDI and global production networks, a variety of theoretical and empirical literature is examined. The main ideas related to MNEs and FDI are based on Dunning, whereas Dicken and Mellahi contributed to the topics related to strategic management and global production networks. Furthermore papers of the European Investment Bank (EIB) about the internationalisation of production in Europe give some basic ideas. Many other scholars are used to illustrate the topic as well. In the empirical part data from sources such as the German Central Bank, EU, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the German chamber of commerce (DIHK) will be analyzed together with academic papers of various writers like Marin or Nordas.
