title = {Return migration, informal learning, human capital development and SME internationalization in the CEE region: A systematic literature review},
year = {2015},
note = {Migration from Eastern to Western Europe has increased under
transition from planned to market economies. As migrants return home
they may enhance local entrepreneurial activity by transferring skills
and knowledge gained abroad. Internationalization of small and medium
sized-enterprises (SMEs) may thus be initiated. This article presents
a review of antecedental factors of internationalization in the
transitional Central and Eastern Europe region (CEE). It is proposed
that return migration may influence informal learning to enhance local
human capital development and more focused SME internationalization.
This chain of argumentation is examined through review of empirical
studies to develop a basis for future research.},
