Abstract Poland has been and continues to be the leader of the transition economies of Eastern Europe. This studyprovides an in‐depth look at the ongoing economic, legal, and administrative policies of the Polishgovernment in laying the ground‐work for a free‐market society. With the smaller business in mind,we first examine how the government of Poland moved decisively to lay the cornerstone for aprivate‐sectoreconomy. Next, we demonstrate how Poland redirected its political and legal processes for long‐termglobalbusiness. Finally, we describe what the U.S. government is doing to help Poland become a better trading partnerand what this means to interested American firms. While there are many deep‐seated positive changesthroughout Poland as it becomes a more significant global business player, there also are many challenges thatmust be understood by interested U.S. businesses if their investments in Poland are to be successful. ©2004Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
