| Following the dismantling of the central allocation mechanisms and the redistribution of property rights, post – Soviet enterprises adopted survival strategies, largely determined by the persistence of structural and cultural characteristics pertaining to the previous regime. At the internal level, the attempt to maintain the directorate’s power lead to the emergence of managerial strategies based on a greater autonomy of directors in horizontal negotiations and on the creation of a peculiar paternalistic type coalition between managerial staff and workers during the privatization process. As a consequence, the analysis of structural transformations and managerial strategies for the control of enterprises is essential for the understanding of the main trends in the evolution of social relations in production, which, in turn, determine the organizational changes in the workplace and the human resource management policies. |
