European J. of International Management (EJIM), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2008
Abstract: The introduction to the first issue of 2008 visits what some would call the outskirts of the journal's geographical domain – the old Soviet Union, Russia and Georgia. It is also a movement through time, in-as-much as some of the contributors investigate general and significant phenomena in recent European history. This travel through time and space is an excellent illustration of the fact that European management is still evolving. In order to understand European management, we need to go back and investigate the development of institutional and cultural diversities, which are so characteristic of European society. There are also several lessons in European management available in the many changes that the transition economies are going through. Influence extends well beyond the 'home area'. The present issue also continues to address a more phenomena-driven (as opposed to theory-driven) research. In other words, the aim is to deepen understanding of real-life phenomena: the many changes characterising management in Europe.
