The research project on 'the Assessment of Management Training Needs at the Achieved Level of Transition' was implemented by the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN) and was sponsored by the European Training Foundation. Conducted in two phases in 1998 and 2000, the project covered selected enterprises in nine countries: Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, and Slovenia (1998); and Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and Ukraine (2000). It concentrates on the issue of management training needs in manufacturing and service sector enterprises, with the aim of understanding training processes, approaches and practice in order to evaluate how training has been used as a response to evolving business needs and how it can be further developed in the future.
