Abstract

"Participation and management in CEE countries" was the topic of the 10th Chemnitz East Forum 2011. Participation was found to be a key issue for the further organizational and management development in CEE countries. The conference also included a special track with papers based on a research project led by Thomas Steger on participation and innovation in Saxonian companies, which provided the chance to relate the regional results to similar international developments in CEE countries. Moreover, a number of papers have been presented related to the GLOBE-Student project on values and leadership expectations of students. Other contributions to the conference related participation with other concepts of management like corporate governance, CSR, identity, innovation or transformation, or pointed on participation in fields like education and science, e.g. the education sector as a challenge for participative leadership because of prevailing paternalistic concepts in education, or publishing about CEE management in a non-participatory and from Western outsiders dominated way.
