In this paper we use the Co-Word Analysis to map the intellectual structure of the research field denoted by “The impact of economic transition on Central and Eastern European enterprises” during the 1989-2013 period, as well to identify key research fields on future research. Thanks to the use of the quantitative methodology of CWA, which allows the extensive reviewing of the literature stock, it was possible to collect 2.053 relevant scholarly papers and extract their key concepts. We found a list of 39 main themes (networks) for the whole period (as shown in the diagram below), illustrating the association between the main concepts of the impact of economic transition on the enterprises: privatization, foreign direct investment, entrepreneurship, trade, banking industry, enterprise restructuring, innovation, institutional changes, corporate governance, capital and financial markets.
