Abstract

The ultimate objective of the study is to measure the impacts of foreign capital in the Hungarian food processing. The analysis was designed and carried out at meso-level, which means that the individual food processing industries are in the focus of investigations. Yet, calculations rely on corporate data, which were used to uncover the impact of foreign ownership on company performance. The analysis sets forth with grouping the Hungarian food processing companies by their ownership structure and comparing the performance of the two major groups of owners, foreign investors and domestic private capital. The investigation of the dynamic performance gap concludes that foreign owned companies surpass the domestically owned private companies in all the important efficiency and performance categories. The major tendency of performance gap between the two groups of companies has been of opening nature between 1995 and 1998.
