Management Education in Countries in Transition

This authoritative collection brings together contributions from well-known international scholars which demonstrate how management education as practised in the U.S. and Western Europe needs to be changed to suit the socio-economic and political systems existing in developing and transitional countries. The papers present a hands-on approach. The geographical area covered is Russia and Eastern Central Europe, China and some other developing countries. The contributors are mostly faculty members in business schools around the world with wide experience in business.
