Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the topics of management learning and cross-border knowledge transfer as they contribute to understanding the development of post-socialist management as a human resource. At the heart of work in this field have been assumptions about the nature of the socio-economic changes taking place in the former Soviet region. We argue that structuralist theories of knowledge transfer and management learning tend to reflect and reinforce the 'economic transition' model, while ethnographic and comparative institutionalist views confirm the complexity and ambiguity inherent in the conception of post-socialism as societal transformation. The conceptual ideas and empirical findings developed in the contributions to this special issue are then related to these debates and the article concludes by proposing possible directions for further research working within the societal transformation framework.
