Management International Conference 2007: Managing Global Transitions: Globalisation - Localisation - Regionalisation

Location: Portorož, Slovenia
Period: 20-24 November 2007

Transition from central planning to a market economy was one of the challenging subjects in the emerging market economies in Central and Eastern Europe as well as in Asia during the last two decades. However, transition is an ongoing process not only in terms of human development and history but also in the perspective of an ever changing world - and its current events. Man tries to understand, anticipate and manage these transitions. During the last decade these changes are associated not only with globalisation, but also with significant regionalisation and localisation in social and economic development.

Transition, globalisation, regionalisation and localisation are challenging economic, business, management, sociological, ethical and political questions. Due to their complexities and engagement of different social, economic and political actors, there is still limited knowledge, lack of evidence and suitable solutions to manage these processes. The conference participants with their written contributions and oral presentations are expected to contribute to the sharing of new theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge to better understand and manage these contemporary economic and social processes at local, regional and global level.
