Abstract:
The author, in this paper, will draw on his experiences in Poland acquired since January 1994 highlighting the difficulties his company has faced since acquiring a business at the beginning of 1994. The business, a dairy in Slupsk, North West Poland, will be used to illustrate what progress has been made in changing management of that business and what is still required to be done. The author will, where appropriate, make comparisons with another Polish business where his company has formed a partnership with local government.
