ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. The economic transition in the Central and Eastern European Countries provides a unique opportunity to observe the evolution of economies from planned systems to more market-oriented and decentralized systems. Aside from the bounty of economic policy issues raised by such a transition, a more fundamental adjustment involves the design of education for the future managers in these economies and, in particular, the role of economics–a subject at the core of the transition–in the management curriculum. Using the MBA curriculum as its focus, this paper discusses both the rationale for including economics in the program for various curricular models and the particular relevance of the subject to management students in the transition environment.
