CONTRIBUTION OF FDI TO THE PRIVATISATION IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN ROMANIA.SUCCESS AND FAILURE STORIES

The aim of the present study is to provide a picture of some aspects concerning the FDI contribution to the privatization process in the manufacturing sector in Romania. First part of the study analyses statistics on FDI presence in different sectors in Romania. Successful or failure cases illustrate different stories in the privatisation process. Investigations were made, based on questionnaires, on the situations in 7 large FDI companies in the manufacturing sector. The second part of the study presents findings concerning the impact of FDI on the human capital issues in the respective foreign companies. Given the limited investigated sample, the findings are to be taken as examples, and not to be generalised.
