ABSTRACT
Someone said, “Everythingis like something else,” and perhaps that is so. One major similarity—and one that says volumes about Human Resource Development (HRD) and training needs in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)—is between CEE organizations today and those of the U.S.in the 1960s and early 1970s. What is the similarity? It is a reliance on authority as a primary managerial tool and strategy.
