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.
