Companies in neighboring Belarus and other former Soviet republics, such as Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, have been stepping up their search for top managers in the Baltic countries, the paper writes.
"These countries are now undergoing the economic processes we lived through 15 years ago. Retail chains and logistics are still in the early stages of development and marketing is still uncharted waters for them. Therefore, shareholders of big companies look to the Baltics, especially Lithuania, for managers," the paper quotes Search Group Director Šarūnas Dyburis.
Managers from Lithuania are preferred to those from the West, because many of them speak Russian and understand the mentality of people living in those countries, and, at the same time, use Western methods in their work.
