Effective ways of handling events in Central and Eastern Europe

Kruzela, Pavla LU (2000) In Social Science Information
Abstract
Five hundred and sixty-one managers in Central and Eastern Europe were asked how much they relied on each of eight sources of quidance in handling eight relatively routine work events. A previous study indicated particularly strong reliance on one's own experience and training in the Czech Republic and Hungary.

These analyses are extended by examining respondents' rating of how well each work event was handled. Overall, most events were seens as best handled on the basis of one's own experience and training. However, substantial divergence... (More)
