The transformation of management effectiveness in post-Soviet enterprises

This study examines the post-Soviet managers' views on the transformation of the management effectiveness in their company in the 1990s. Main emphasis is placed on analysing the relationship between the organisational performance and its impact on change in the management effectiveness. The views of the Baltic enterprise management indicate that the organisational and managerial effectiveness is improving. The data suggest that success increases inertia. The empirical findings do not exclude the argument that poor performance acts as a catalyst to change. The research results seem to be consistent with the views that crises and compulsion are more closely linked with change than previous success.
