The Chemnitz East Forum provides a platform for researchers studying management and organizational processes in transformational contexts of Central and East European (CEE) countries. The 10th biennial conference will particularly address the issues of participation in CEE management. We would like to invite research papers exploring any aspects of participation with respect to management in CEE countries. We prefer theory-based empirical studies, grounded in any methodological tradition (qualitative as well as quantitative). We also welcome purely conceptual contributions, papers dealing with methodological issues or questions of research policy. The conference topics include but are not limited to: Models of worker participation and industrial democracy in CEE countries: Institutional path dependencies or revolutions? Status of employee participation in HRM practices; Cultures of participation vs. cultures of authoritarianism in CEE companies; Participative leadership in CEE management: a new myth? To participate or not to participate: Attitudes of workers towards participation; Participation of employees and corporate social responsibility; Participation in management research: Who does the research on CEE management? Who publishes where? Who reads what (if at all)?
