Constructing Post-Socialism
Following the collapse of European state socialism, economists quickly identified a central role for foreign direct investment and Western multinational corporations in moving the region towards a market economy. Knowledge transfers and capital infusions would allow former state-owned enterprises to take on market-economic characteristics and therefore engage more fully in the global economy. This article examines the post-socialist management ex…
Organization theory and the post-socialist transformation
In unison with the authors of this special issue, we argue that organizational research in European post-socialist contexts over the last 17 years has made a significant and enduring contribution to organization theory. This proposition provides the rationale for the special issue, which focuses on the formative relationship between the body of organizational knowledge forged largely within stable western market-economies and the findings of orga…
Changing patterns of employment in post-socialist organizations in Central and Eastern Europe
This article develops an alternative theoretical framework to the dominant ‘top-down’ macroeconomic and institutional views that have been so influential in studies of the post-socialist economic transition. The authors argue that in order to understand economic outcomes more fully, researchers need to adopt a theoretical approach that combines the sociological reasoning of the institutionalist view with micro-processual arguments that theorize e…
Fieldwork in Transforming Societies
This book discusses the personal and professional challenges of conducting fieldwork in the difficult, sometimes threatening contexts of the transforming societies of post-socialist Europe and China
The Role of Social Capital in Developing Czech Private Business
The development of new private business has both economic and social significance for the post-communist transition. New business firms offer industrial dynamism and flexibility to former command economies typically dominated by gigantic monopolies, while, unlike privatised enterprises, not reproducing formerly institutionalised practices. They further presage the rise of new social groups and values with direct implications for civic, social and…
Organization-Community Embeddedness
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the enterprise restructuring process, which has typified the experience of post-communist industry, on local communities. It is argued that restructuring has had differential impacts on communities, and one key factor in making this judgment is the nature of the enterprise-community relationship inherited from the former state socialist regime. Conceptually, this relationship can be understood in …
The re‐formation of the managerial Élite in the Czech republic
UNDERLYING THE DYNAMICS of the political and economic shifts in the former state socialist societies of Central and Eastern Europe are fundamental processes of social re-formation. It has been argued1 that the pressures for political change for the most part originated from two levels: the grass roots and the top. In many of the communist regimes the pressures for change from below had been resisted, through force if necessary, for many years, so…
