Cultural dimensions and leadership styles perceived by future managers : differences between Slovenia and a cluster of Central European countries
Danijel Pučko, Tomaž Čater, 2011, original scientific article

Abstract: The article contributes to the body of knowledge about the perceptions of future managers (i.e. business and engineering students) in both Slovenia and a cluster of Central European (CE) countries regarding actual cultural practices in their social environments, the value systems they possess and their attitudes to leadership styles. The main question addressed is whether future Slovenian managers are good representatives of the average future manager from CE (transitional) countries as far as their value system and attitudes to individual leadership styles are concerned. The research results confirm that the Slovenian (potential) future managers perceive actual cultural practices in their environment rather differently from their counterparts from the cluster of CE countries. Two decades of transition from socialist/communist socio-economic systems were apparently not long enough periods to achieve a higher level of harmonisation of existing cultures. The relevant value systems held by the Slovenian (potential) future managers and the CE cluster's future managers still differ significantly. The Slovenian future managers have (statistically) significantly different attitudes to individual leadership styles than their counterparts in the CE countries' cluster. The smallest differences in perceptions between the two stated groups of (potential) future managers exist regarding their views on what are the most important traits and skills of managers.

The impact of strategic management schools and strategic thinking on the performance of Croatian entrepreneurial practice : doctoral dissertation
Lara Jelenc, 2008, doctoral dissertation

Abstract: This doctoral dissertation deals with two quite self-understanding concepts of strategic management - strategic thinking and schools of strategic management and their impact on the financial results in large Croatian firms. Strategic management school is a concept that represents the dominant paradigm of the top managers’ point of view on the process of strategic management. I suggested a new classification of the schools of strategic management based on two criteria- the role of the top manager in the process and time horizon: Classical school, Environmental school, Competitive school and Contemporary school. First, each school is individually presented and supported by ideas and contributions of different leading researchers and the critical overview of these contributions. Strategic thinking is an under-researched concept that is at the very heart of strategic management. No matter how many methods, tools, and techniques top managers use, none of them could replace strategic thinking. Due to the difficulties in articulating the cognitive character of strategic thinking, it is very elusive to define, measure, train or learn how to think strategically. ...
