@article{1998:kelemen:from_centr, title = {From Centrally Planned Culture to Entrepreneurial Culture: The Example of Bulgarian and Romanian Organisations}, year = {1998}, note = {The dismantling of the socialist mode of production in Bulgaria and Romania has marked the beginning of a turbulent and unprecedented period which poses new challenges to organisations. While in the past organisations were mere extensions of the five year central plan, they now have to take responsibility for their actions in the market place. In addition, the loss of the COMECON market has exposed organisations to international competition and the need to explore global opportunities. The paper presents eight organisations which have established themselves as quality suppliers for the Western market by managing successfully the change from centrally planned culture to entrepreneurial culture.}, journal = {JEEMS Journal of East European Management Studies}, pages = {216--226}, author = {Kelemen, Mihaela and Hristov, Latchezar}, volume = {3}, number = {3} }
