Within an enlarged and more diverse EU, the opportunities have increased for international reorganization of production and, with this, for ‘coercive comparisons’ and efficiency-oriented transfers of practices. This chapter discusses the dynamics of transfer through longitudinal case studies of two foreign investors active in the region since the beginning of the economic transformation in Central Europe (CE). The two cases represent contrasting situations: a greenfield investment in a non-union site by a medium-sized German company, compared with a large Italian multinational company (MNC) investing in strongly unionized brownfield sites.
