Abstract
Much has been written about privatisation in the transition economies. However, little has been written about post-privatisation ownership changes in privatised companies and what relation such changes might have to corporate performance. In this chapter we examine the question of post-privatisation ownership changes, or ‘secondary privatisation’ — to use a term coined by Barbara Błaszczyk — in Polish companies privatised by what are often called, for simplicity’s sake, employee buyouts. 1
