At the heart of the economic changes in central and eastern Europe has been an explosion in management training, generally supported by Western academics and consultants in business education and financial management. This work analyzes the developments in this area, and the way educational approaches are moulded by the various pressures shaping these emerging market economies. The writers are educators and trainers at the forefront of initiatives funded by the West. They explain the kind of management education and training which is taking place now and is set within the context of current international debates on the issues involved, questioning many of the assumptions on which Western approaches to management education are based.
