Original Abstract

Managers, and especially top and upper managers, are supposed to act as "change leaders" who embrace future changes and constantly improve the status quo. As individual competencies play a key role in tackling upcoming challenges and changes, the purpose of this article is to determine whether top, upper and middle managers from three CEE countries perceive future management competencies differently. The sample consists of 482 managers from different hierarchical levels and industries. After categorizing the answers of two open questions regarding present and future management competencies in five competence classes, a cluster dendrogram as well as a multidimensional scaling method have been used to visualize the expected changes within these competence classes for each country.

Keywords

Competency management; CEE countries; self-affirmation theory; transition economies
