Abstract

The research investigates the possibility that people in managerial positions in organisations in the former Soviet Union may not match western models of management, and may not be well suited to the new environment. The research finds many differences in psychological profile between FSU managers and western managers, and finds a common Soviet manager profile, which is a poor match to western models of management. The implications of this difference are discussed, and suggestions for coping with the difference, by management development, and by improved selection, are made.
