Economic Development and Policy (1)
Building
Capitalism and Ending Communism in East European Business
Culture 
From: University of Michigan
In
this seminar, Michael D. Kennedy--vice provost for international
affairs, director of the International Institute, and associate
professor of sociology at the University of Michigan--looks at the
encounters between American business advisors and East European managers
within a culture in transition from a socialist past to a capitalist
future. Kennedy asks: How do Western business practices fuse with local
cultures? How do managers on both sides negotiate claims to competence
in these newly emerged transition firms? Who "owns"
this transition culture?
