Routledge Outsourcing in European Emerging Economies Book

Explore the complex dynamics of offshoring and outsourcing through this academic volume from Routledge. Part of the Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy series, this book examines how foreign companies integrate into European emerging markets. By focusing on territorial embeddedness, the text provides a deep look at how global business services function within specific regional contexts. The research uses a theoretical framework supported by detailed international case studies. It examines the experiences of major service hub cities, including Brno, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, and Prague. This collection moves beyond simple economic metrics to look at the human and institutional elements of the industry. Readers will find analysis on the employee perspective, the rise of the Fintech industry, and the importance of corporate social responsibility. The book also investigates the role of universities in shaping these economic landscapes. This is an essential resource for those studying regional economics, urban planning, and the evolution of global business services in Europe.
