Business teaching in the CIS States

Jacques Tibau

European Management Journal, 2000, vol. 18, issue 6, 683-691

Abstract: The author draws on his experience teaching business concepts to executive students from former centrally-planned economies of the Confederation of Independent States, particularly Tashkent. Several lessons can be learned. Most important is that the students' perceptions of Western business knowledge is very different from those in the West. To bridge these different perceptions, the author suggests starting from a common knowledge base, using only concrete and specific work situations, making tacit knowledge explicit through imagination, analogies and metaphors, and giving priority to the process of introducing new business practices.
