Challenges and opportunities of teaching management in a post‐socialist society

Abstract

Post‐socialist countries have more challenges in the change process than merely creating a market economy. Communism eroded the work ethic, created organizations where employees considered it their right to steal from the company, management as a profession was never understood, and party loyalty and networks were the most important criteria of advancement. Suggests that teaching management out of this context creates its own challenges.
