Aims
and Scope of the Conference
The distinctive feature of the
conference is its focus on global transition and the aspiration to provide
diverse perspectives on the process of change and evolution on regional and
local level. The aim is to discuss and publish research on change in societies,
cultures, networks, organizations, teams, and individuals as well as the
processes that are most effective in managing transitions from dominant
structures to more evolutionary, developmental forms.
Transition from central planning to a market economy was one of the challenging
subjects in the emerging market economies in all over World. However, transition
is an ongoing process not only in terms of human development and history but
also in the perspective of an ever changing world – and its current events. Man
tries to understand, anticipate and manage these transitions. During the last
decade these changes are associated not only with globalisation, but also with
significant regionalisation and localisation in social and economic development.
Transition, globalisation, regionalisation and localisation are challenging
economic, business, management, sociological, ethical and political questions.
Due to their complexities and engagement of different social, economic and
political actors, there is still limited knowledge, lack of evidence and
suitable solutions to manage these processes. The conference participants with
their written contributions and oral presentations are expected to contribute to
the sharing of new theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge to better
understand and manage these contemporary economic and social processes at local,
regional and global level.
