The book review assignment is intended to give you a solid background on the economy and business environment of Central and Eastern European emerging markets, especially Hungary and the Czech Republic.

The paper is not intended to be a summary of the book. Rather, it should communicate your thoughts and opinion about the book, the extent it has some utility for you as a business student and a manager, etc. Following guidelines are offered to help you in preparing the book review:

• What is the basic theme of the book?
• Do you agree or disagree with the basic theme of the book? Why?
• What are the key conclusions of the book?
• What are the major concepts discussed in each chapter/section?
• What implications do these ideas pose for business organizations and management in the United States?
• What are some of the major similarities/differences between your personal observations during the trip and the major theme of the book?

Finally, the review should be comprehensive and analytic rather than just a summary of the book chapters.
