Description of the research topic:
The changes in the CEE region affected the social, corporate and political level at the same time in the late eighties. The strategic, structural and cultural development of the large socialist corporations showed a very heterogenous picture. The development routes of the organizations and companies of the CEE region has not became any more similar since then, still influenced significantly by the size, ownership structure and cultural background.
The research topic is strongly based on the cultural change models of Schein, Trice and Beyer, with a special emphasis on the significant role of leadership in the process. The revival of paternalistic leadership as a typical leadership phenomenon of the CEE region is considered as a major focus. Due to the prioroties of the Doctoral School collaboration in joint research projects with partner CEE Universities is strongly preferred.
