Theory, Practice and Characteristics of Management in Serbia

Abstract

The paper analyses management and manager's characteristics which determine the success of organisations. For Serbian managers the only constant is change. The paper deals with this aspect in 3 segments: general characteristics in international and domestic context, the influence for national culture on the characteristics of managers and the characteristics of managers in times of change. The focus of our paper is on theory and practice of management in Serbia, a country that went through significant political, economic and social changes in the post-socialistic period, but which is already transforming in every aspect including educating managers for contemporary and future work challenges.
Keywords: Change management, Characteristics of managers, Management, national culture, Organisational culture, Serbia.
