Seeks to assess the impact of “imported” management education on thedevelopment of managers in former command economies of Eastern Europe.In particular, examines the attitudes of Hungarian managers who havecompleted a British Diploma in Management. Statements made by themanagers in their projects were noted against a number of factors, whichhave previously been found to be characteristic of command and marketeconomies, in an attempt to measure the extent to which the “cognitivemaps” of the managers are evolving in response to the new situation. Theanalysis showed that in some areas the process has begun tentatively,but in a number of aspects is a long way from being fully internalized.The managers appear to have understood the vocabulary withoutnecessarily internalizing the concepts required.
