AB  - The introduction of new industrial legislation in 1987, in the
former Soviet Union, followed a policy of decentralization in which
factories were given increased authority to seek their own customers and
suppliers, agree prices, and to engage directly in foreign trade.
Additionally, from 1987, various forms of co‐operative enterprise and
leasing were established, State price controls began to be lifted from
many products, and the groundwork was established for a wide range of
industrial assets to be converted from public to private ownership.
Discusses the major features of technological change and management
behaviour likely to occur in the Commonwealth of Independent States, as
enterprises continue to operate in an environment of decentralization in
which authority and responsibility is being transferred to them from the
previous State committees and industrial ministries. Specific attention
is paid to the likely effects of this decentralization on markets,
innovation and quality within the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Details possible changes in supplies, workforce management, and
management development as the effects of decentralization are diffused
throughout these areas of industrial activity.
