摘要:Central and Eastern Europe economic environments witness some changes that took place in the competitive environment, but also within the economic systems, as a consequence of the structural changes that took place especially after 1989, considered to be a decisive year for the economies from this region. Those changes were represented both by the modification of the operating mechanism of the economies, but also by the settlement of new operating rules for the competitive environment. The present paper tries to study those changes of the Eastern and Central Europe competitive environment, but also tries to point out the changes that took place in the economic environment that will determine, on long term, changes relating to the paradigms of the science of management, found now at the crossroad between the millenniums.
