More Description

This book provides an overview of the state and development of post-socialist management in CEE countries over the last 20 years. It demonstrates the variety of enduring and emerging topics, problems and solutions faced by the management bodies of organisations during the societal transformation towards East European capitalism. In contrast to other publications, which mostly offer a Western perspective on CEE management, this volume presents 21 articles published in the Journal of East European Management Studies (JEEMS) since 1996. The fact that the various contributors are researchers from both the West and the East, that is, insiders as well as outsiders, allows for a multifaceted perspective on CEE management. Among others, the book addresses topics such as: -system change, new institutions, resistance to privatisation, restructuring, governance structures, networks and FDI to and from CEE countries; -Cultural change, intercultural conflicts, trust and the creation of meaning; -Management transfer, cross-cultural management, cooperation and management learning; -Management strategies and practices in CEE countries.
