Past, Present and Future Management Development in the Former Republics of Yugoslavia

Abstract

Addresses the state of management development, and particularly management education, in the former republics of Yugoslavia. Describes the special economic and political history of Yugoslavia over the last 45 years, distinguishing it from other Central and East European countries. Places management development in the context of human resource management practices, leading to an identification of missing ingredients for the development of sound professional leadership in the country. Surveys nearly 20 institutions in the former republics of Yugoslavia in terms of present major orientation to MBA or executive education, faculty make‐up, and other main policies. Concludes with a look to the future and recommendations about the next steps that are needed
