Although the population in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) is still younger, on average, than in Western Europe, the CEEC also have to cope with challenges caused by the demographic shift towards an ageing, shrinking population. Some countries are ageing even faster than Western Europe. Apart from ageing, the CEEC also have to face problems caused by the economic transition. Based on neo-institutional organisation theory this paper looks at the management implications of these developments and points out strategies for Human Resources Management and Marketing in how to cope with upcoming challenges.

Organizations seek new ways to stimulate collective competences. One possible way this can be done is though self-managing teams. This paper aims to understand the collective competences based on their constitutive elements: interaction, sensemaking and identity. For this study we investigated a Brazilian world-class petrochemical company, recognized by their excellence in working with self-managed teams. Two semi-autonomous teams were studied, distinct in its pattern and performance. The main results point out that the understanding of collective competences is more related to the dynamics and the interaction process itself rather than to the content of this approach and its constitutive elements separately.

This paper proposes an endogenous human resources selection process by using linguistic information from a competency management perspective. We consider different sets of appraisers taking part in the evaluation process, having a different knowledge about the candidates that are being evaluated. Then, appraisers can express their assessments in different linguistic domains according to their knowledge. The proposed method converts each linguistic label into a fuzzy set on a common domain. Candidates are ranked by using different aggregation operators in order to allow the management team to make a final decision.

During the last fifteen years NPM reforms affected Germany's federal and state polices facilitated by socio-economic forces and upcoming international new public management ideas in particular. Systematising the NPM-process we distinct a pioneer phase (1995-1999), a modification phase (1999-2002), and an integration phase (2002-2005). NPM reforms did not constitute a holistic model for police administration and could there-fore not completely replace the traditional bureaucratic model. In contrast there have been considerable adoptions of "NPM-tool-kit" in a pragmatic way. NPM-concepts become only partially institutionalized leading to a hybrid type of traditional administrative organisational structure and culture with sedimentations of certain NPM elements.

The financial crisis is a crisis of governance as well. In search of answers and solutions many scholars and practitioners recommend improved output control, i.e. better external incentives or even stricter regulations. Monasteries demonstrate that alternative models may be more suitable to enhance sustainable governance quality and to reduce agency problems. In the long history of monasteries, some abbots and monks were known to line their own pockets and some monasteries were undisciplined. Monasteries developed special systems to combat these excesses thus ensuring their survival over centuries. We study these features from an economic perspective. Derived from an analysis of the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg we offer three improvements of applied governance designed to reduce a...
