ABSTRACT
Management research in the Baltic States has been an object of debates among local researchers for some years. In fact management and administration as an independent research fi eld gained its status only with the independence of the three Baltic States. Until 1991 the predominant discipline, incorporating only some issues of management and administration was economics and engineering economics with all consequential implications on management research development. Thus management research within 18 years of its history in the Baltic States made its path by intensively incorporating “Western” management research practices, meanwhile keeping a lot of ‘quantitative,’ ‘science-like’ features from economics research.
