We are also familiar with cases when Polish companies buy Dutch companies and thus enter the Dutch market. For such an expansion, you need to be successful. Firstly, you need managers who will effectively bridge the company in Poland and the organization in the Netherlands. Secondly, you need knowledge of the local market and culture and the ability to manage employees in a new market.
