The Role of Organisational Innovation in Corporations
The article stresses the question of organisational innovations in the field of SME in CEEC. For the analysis, examples of characteristic phenomena are chosen which mirror the strengths and weaknesses, the opportunities and threats of CEEC in transition economies. Besides various economic images, three fields will be presented in which the EU exercises little direct influence. These three fields cover 1) education, 2) science and research, and 3) SME. They are seen to be essential terrain for initiating national and corporate competitive advantages. Education is the basis of future human resources; science and research open potential sources of development for new products and service. A national culture of SME-carried economy can be seen as an effective structure to implement such innovation. (more...)

Communication and representation in the construction of the European identity
Our study deals with the issue of the relationship between what is conveyed through mass media and what is represented and organized socially in the form of social reality. The first part of our study focuses on theoretical aspects of this relation, by defining and explaining concepts such as mass-communication, social reality, social representation, cognition, imaginary, and social identity, along with trying to understand the specific relation between these concepts. The second part aims to present and briefly reproduce some of the conclusions of one of our study on European identity, in close relation with the issue of the way in which social representations are constructed from the initial message of the sender with the affective, cognitive and imaginary participation of the receiver.

Nation States and Cultural Diversity
Diversity is embedded in the very texture of our world, be it natural or social, be it animal or human, animate or inanimate. It cannot be killed, it cannot be exterminated, but it can be “relocated”. Diversity has no need for us to safeguard it, but it needs people to understand it and to understand the new mechanisms that produce it. Once, these mechanisms were nation states, with their specific history, language, peoples and territories. Now, these realities have lost their power to produce cultural differences, which does not mean that the world will be unified or uniform in the future. They will be replaced by another type of symbolic machinery that will generate cultural variance. What exactly this machinery will be and how exactly it will function, it is probably still too soon to predict. (more...)
