This chapter analyzes organizational changes and organizational learning in Estonian companies. During the last decades, Estonia has transformed from being an authoritarian, centralised, totalitarian, socialist state to a democratic country with a free market economy and different attitudes and values. Empirical study in Estonian organizations indicates connections between the institutionalization stage at the societal level and types of changes and organizational learning within organizations. The author proposes the model connecting changes and learning in organizations during societal transience, which could help managers of international companies to plan and implement changes in subsidiaries locating in countries in transition.

Depth Interviews

This paper explores the consequences of the socio-historical exclusion of women, and of young people, from public life. It is based upon an empirical study in which depth-interviews were conducted with 96 Britons, male and female, and of a younger and an older generation, concerning their private and public lives. Self-proclaimed ignorance is significantly more likely to be found in the interviews of the women rather than the men, and in those of the younger rather than the older generation. Qualitative analysis reveals that self-proclaimed ignorance is associated with a sense of distance from public affairs. The various manifestations of distance are discussed in terms of exposure to knowledge, the individualistic society's expectations concerning the knowing “I”, the privatized market economy and the effects of modernity itself.

Large Enterprises

The corporate governance problems as known in a market economy arose in CEE countries in connection with the privatisation of large enterprises at the beginning of the 1990s, and to a large degree even afterwards. The emerging pattern of CG is quite difficult to interpret according to the traditional Western models and varied greatly from country to country, because in the case of transition countries various institutions and the environment as a whole do not work or at least do not work fully (Tafel et al, 2006). Therefore CEE-countries represent a very good testing ground for Corporate Governance (CG) related research. This paper studies forms of corporate governance in foreign owned companies situating in Estonia: cooperation between the owners, council and board in Estonian enterprises. The paper starts with the theoretical part followed by methodology and results of empirical study in Estonian companies

Today, the agro-industrial complex is the most important factor in the formation and development of the Russian economy. In the modern market economy of Russia, special attention is paid to the personality of the head of the agro-industrial complex. In connection with the development of the economy and technological progress, society is increasingly in need of an increase in the number of qualified and successful representatives of the management apparatus of this industry. On the basis of which we conducted an empirical study, where the object was 40 managers of various pilot production enterprises of the Rostov region. In the course of the empirical study, the following methods were used: “The scale of basic beliefs” (in the modification of M. A. Padun, A.V. Kotelnikova), Proactive coping inventory in the adaptation of E. Starchenkova, “Methods of coping behavior “ by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman, the Life Style Index (LSI). These recommendations can be taken into account by managers and employees of personnel services of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex when forming systems of motivation and development of the highest needs of employees holding managerial positions in modern market conditions.

Strategic Context

The forms of manifestation of organized crime are threats that affect any society, the most vulnerable being the democracies in the process of formation. Concerning national security is the strategic context in which these non-traditional threats take place [1]. Internally, the new democracies are facing a series of changes: the transition from a totalitarian regime to a democratic regime, from a centralized economy to a market economy. Most strategic documents drawn up and adopted in developed countries to prevent and combat crime have as a priority the fulfillment of four major objectives: anticipation, prevention, deterrence and response. The aim of the paper is to develop methods for investigating organized crime, in order to develop effective strategies for preventing and combating related crimes. The information was collected between September 2019 and November 2019, being analyzed, processed and interpreted afterwards.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to review research papers on management accounting/con-trolling (MA/C) published in the Polish journal “Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowościˮ (ZTR) in 2010–2020. Methodology/approach: The research papers in the field of MA/C published in ZTR – a leading Polish journal that specializes in accounting research – were reviewed (according to the designated criteria). The years 2010–2020 were chosen as the period of analysis. This period reflects the strengthening of the market economy in Poland, including its internationalization. Descriptive statistics were used to present the results of the empirical study. Findings: Although more than 30 years have passed since the economic and social transformation in Poland, and the flow of scientific and business information is at our fingertips, the number of publications in the field of MA/C has not increased significantly. Articles published in this field refer to the term "management accounting" to a greater extent than "controlling". Half of the publications deal with the issue of methods and tools, but to a small extent, they refer to the innovative aspects of MA/C. Most of the publications are based on empirical research, and the share of review-conceptual articles is clearly decreasing. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to the journal ZTR and the period 2010–2020. Originality/value: The article contributes to the literature by providing knowledge about the issues raised in the field of management accounting/controlling in research publications in Poland in the context of the internationalization of scientific research and the challenges of modern economies

Resolution Strategies

One of the most typical characteristics of post-totalitarian societies is the expansion of conflict. In the transition from totalitarianism to democracy, conflict accompanies the changes in all social spheres: politics, economics, culture, personality, and so on. The most dramatic and difficult conflicts to overcome are the economic ones. The conflicts in the economic sphere always emerge, develop, and die away within a given organization. It is precisely the structure and characteristics of the organization that determine the dynamics and the development of the conflict, and it is again the organization that determines the resolution and disappearance of the conflict. The goal of our empirical study was to trace the dynamics of the conflicts within changing Bulgarian organizations, as well as to reveal their peculiarities depending on the gender, age, and position of the subjects in the organizational hierarchy. In addition, our task was to find out the ways in which the five basic strategies for conflict resolution are applied in developing organizations. The general conclusions of our study outline the ways for successfully coping with conflicts and effectively managing organizations in the transition from a centralized to a market economy.

There is scarcely an aspect of Yugoslavia's self-managed economy which has not been studied for its insights into the performance of a labor-managed market economy. Of the many potential indicators, an impressive postwar record of economic growth may be the greatest success and the persistently high levels of unemployment the worst failure of self-management. This paper discusses an empirical study showing that although rapid growth and unusually high unemployment have been intimately related. it has been for reasons largely unconnected to Yugoslavia's labor-managed system.
