“…Within the transforming business context, there were intense pressures on SOEs to change ownership form, corporate governance systems, strategic focus, and general and specialized management practices (e.g. Carlin and Landesmann 1997;Dyck 1997;Lízal et al 1995;McDermott 1997;Myant 1999;Richet 1993). However, the empirical focus of this article concerns the degrees and types of 'decentralization' of the large integrated enterprises that had often functioned monopolistically within the command economy.…”

One significant strand of organization and management theory has been the development of approaches that focus on the active role of management in formulating strategic responses, such as organizational restructuring, to the external business environment. Despite subscribing to the idea that ‘management matters’, however, influential theories have often ignored or minimized the role of human agency. This article examines the strategic management process by placing the interaction between management power and action at the heart of the empirical and theoretical enterprise. The theory construction process evolves inductively from case study research on the restructuring processes and outcomes in four large Czech enterprises. The empirical findings and theoretical arguments strongly support the importance of introducing a political dimension into a sensemaking framework as a fruitful way of progressing the theory of strategic management action.

“…The transferral of state assets into private hands has been taken as the prerequisite for the effective restructuring of the SOE. Within a neo-liberal framework, prior privatisation was thought to ensure that enterprise restructuring was conducted according to the wishes of concrete owners with a utility maximising incentive to organise their acquisitions efficiently (see Frydman/Rapaczynski 1994: 46ff;also Myant 1993;Richet 1993). The view that the prior repackaging of large SOEs into more attractive bundles was necessary to entice private (especially foreign) investors (e.g.…”

The transition process: Stimulating free entrepreneurship

The text consists of two parts. In the first we expound the thesis that transition is actually a process of creation of institutional preconditions for development of private entrepreneurship at a given moment and under the inherited circumstances. To create an environment that stimulates free entrepreneurship and enables a successful transition requires a lot of knowledge, creativity and pragmatism (there is no general model). The rest remains on the entrepreneurs. In the second part we analyse the experience of FRY before and after the change of regime. During the former regime FRY was an example of degenerative connection between politics and economy geared to prevent reforms. The task of the new government is to make a radical break with the earlier practice. If the reform is not radical and not aiming to create an institutional environment that fully stimulates competition and private entrepreneurship (which has not been the case so far), it has no good prospects to succeed
