Managerial markets in transition in Central and Eastern Europe: a field study and implications

Article Abstract:

Research into managerial labour markets, in Central and Eastern Europe, found many companies had to bring in foreign managers because of the shortage of skilled local managers. It was felt expatriate managers only stayed for a short time and therefore were not committed to developing local managers. Companies had some difficulty in retaining local managers due to the tight labour market. Managers' wages had increased by at least 25% over two years. Turnover of managers was at between 18-47%. Information was obtained from 157 companies, in six Central and Eastern European countries.
