Fourth International Conference
ENTERPRISE IN TRANSITION Competitiveness, Restructuring and Growth
Split, Croatia, May 24 - 26, 2001

 The last decade has been marked by the process of transition of the former socialist countries, which has involved a complex task of socio-economic restructuring, aiming at re-establishing the interrupted flow of history, as well as developing modern social, economic and political structures. The most advanced among these countries have now passed the first stages of transition, but there is still a long way ahead. Many countries are still struggling with fundamental issues and problems and trying to find their way toward economic and social progress.

The experience of living with the transition to democracy and market economy has motivated the Faculty of Economics at the University of Split to organise a global forum which would bring together both the scholars and practitioners in search of solutions to the problems faced by enterprises in transition economies.

Therefore, the Fourth International Conference on Enterprise in Transition will focus on the problems of Enterprise Competitiveness, Restructuring and Growth.

In addition to the discussion of the transition from a socialist toward a market economy, we would like to encourage and invite authors to consider the issues relating to the growth and development of enterprises and economies in transition. Such an orientation of the Conference encompasses many different research themes, which reflects our comprehensive approach to transitional problems, which have been key features of the Conference from its very beginning.

We especially encourage the "case study" method, which has the potential to provide a deeper insight into the real underlying processes of enterprises in transitional economies. We believe that, together with more theoretically oriented papers, these studies could significantly enhance the quality of the Conference and its Proceedings.

Prospective authors are invited to submit a short abstract in English by August 30, 2000.
