Opis

This book investigates the process of management knowledge transfer into the business schools situated in Belarus - one of the former Soviet Union republics which gained its independence in 1992. The collapse of Communism in the latter part of the 20th century and the emergence of a more free market economy has created both remarkable opportunities and complex problems, as generations brought up under a strict disciplinarian regime struggle to come to terms with newfound freedoms. This book is based on in-depth research into the current situation in Belarus particularly in the area of management education investigating whether the international transfer of management knowledge has been effective in changing perceptions and what the key barriers and enablers are to this process. Using a mixed method approach, the writer creates a deeper understanding of the issue of effective management knowledge transfer with particular emphasis on the role of educators, necessary to illustrate the massive impact these changes caused, and the part that modern management knowledge has started to play in the post Soviet environment.
