2、flow of highly skilled workers employed by foreign companies in Hungary. It explores the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and tacit knowledge flows through the mobility of highly qualified workers in this age of globalisation. The paper shows that mobility is a very important fac
3、tor in the transfer of knowledge linked to the movement of capitalto FDI. The paper analyses the potential transfer of knowledge and skills from advanced market economies to Hungarian companies as accompanying FDI. The analysis is based on a pioneering survey on business-led mobility.Keywords FDI Br
4、ain-circulation CEE1 IntroductionForeign direct investment (FDI) is a relatively new phenomenon in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). The transition of CEECs towards market economies made them an important target for foreign investors. FDI has played a fundamental role in the transforma
5、tion of the Hungarian economy. Foreign shareholdings changed rapidly during the transition period, but the percentage of ordinary shares or of voting rights in an enterprise were not a reliable indicator since, on many occasions, relatively minor foreign investors exercised management influence.In t
6、he internationalised economy, one of the most important stimulators of mobility is businessprincipally in the shape of foreign direct investors.1 Clearly, business-driven migration both can and does play an important role in acquiring and disseminating knowledge and in aggregating skills for the pur
7、pose of generating still further knowledge. Mobility of highly skilled workers (HSWs) is a by-product of FDI. The brain-gain in managerial and technological fields is extremely crucial for the transition economies.Among the different types of business-led immigrants, the first to arrive in Hungary i
8、n the initial phase of transition were, of course, managers. Foreign owners came here (or seconded existing employees) for the initial years of FDIeither to smooth out the collaboration process or simply to train locals in the jobs, whilst applying tight controls. The importance of seconded Chief Ex
9、ecutive Officers (CEOs) should not be underestimated inthe process of knowledge-flow, of the transfer of technology and in changing both corporate rules and behavioural routines.In the late 1990s, other types of professionals were also imported by business: professionals such as development engineer
10、s and designers. As a result, many different types of knowledge assets flowed into the country, channelled through these professions. This process is consistent with global tendencies. The globalising learning economy needs more mobile human resources, and the assumption is that the mobile person tr
11、ansfers his/her embodied knowledge on a job-to-job,employer-to-employer and sector-to-sector basis,across borders and regions. In consequence, it is important to understand the profile of HSWs for FDI-receiving countries.This study focuses on the business-led incomers to Hungary employed by foreign
12、(affiliated) companies in those highly skilled jobs normally requiring higher education degrees. Such jobs may be either more or less sophisticated than the workers previous one, but differences in the level of sophistication among such types of job is well beyond the scope of the present survey.The
13、 Hungarian regulations regarding the employment of foreign HSWs are not complicated for FDI-related employees. When the mother company is located outside of Hungary and the CEO of the Hungarian affiliate is a foreign highly skilled worker, no working permissions or registrations are needed in Hungar
14、y. The rule is similar if the employee is the CEO or member of the Board of Supervision of a partially or totally foreign-owned company. If the individuals are employed by partially or totally foreignowned companies in any other position, the employer has to follow various rules specific to the empl
15、oyers country of origin, according to the principle of reciprocity. In the case of several EU member states, the incomers need work permission from the Hungarian authorities. In the case that there is a bilateral contract between Hungary and the sending country establishing quotas on foreign employe
16、es, registration and permission were not required so long as these quotas were not exceeded. In several other cases, the foreign employers do not require any administrative steps. This depends on the international relationship between the sending country and Hungary.Foreign owners may manage the employment of their posted highly-skilled workers in a
