Does the West Know Best?

21.9.2005

Accession of the Central and Eastern European states has provided impetus for a fundamental re-evaluation of Europe's economic and social model. New member states were forced to introduce radical reforms to tackle the deep-seated problems of the welfare state and in so doing have challenged the orthodoxy of Western European systems. 'Does the West Know Best?' assembles leading thinkers from both eastern and western Europe to examine whether the EU-15 can learn from some of the new member states' more radical approaches to social and economic reform, such as flat taxation, the privatisation of social security and moves towards more market-oriented health systems.


Economic Survey of Slovak Republic

20.9.2005

The Slovak government deserves significant credit for a range of reforms which have clearly enhanced the flexibility of the labour market and improved incentives for the unemployed to seek work. The labour code has made working conditions more flexible and has eased the conditions under which workers can be laid off, thus providing a favourable background for job creation and job reallocation. The Slovak authorities have begun to introduce public management reforms which have the potential to accelerate resource reallocation and improve performance across the entire public sector...

E-government in Central Europe

10.9.2005

As part of a broader effort to encourage its citizens and businesses to go digital, the European Union is exhorting member governments to practice what they preach: to shift their own operations to electronic and particularly online platforms. Having signed on to ambitious goals of information society development as part of the EU accession process, most of the ten new and candidate EU members have taken up the e-government challenge with enthusiasm.


The Largest Search Firms in the World

9.9.2005

It's that time again; search-consult's annual review of the largest retained search firms in the World. As always, we have taken the approach of measuring scale in terms of global reach. Simply put, we count the number of offices. To be more specific, we count the number of offices that are identified primarily from retained search firms and exclusively from firms that are actively involved in Human Resources. If a search business is formally a subsidiary of a larger group (i.e., A.T. Kearney Executive Search is genuinely separate to A.T. Kearney Management Consulting) then it may be included, but only those offices providing search services will be considered for the count.

Flat is beautiful

3.3.2005

One of the more bizarre events on the Brussels calendar is the annual capitalist ball, staged by the Centre for the New Europe, a free-market think-tank with an appropriately Rumsfeld-like title. This year's event was dedicated to the memory of Ayn Rand, a libertarian novelist and one-time muse to America's Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan. Her dedication to capitalism was so complete that, at her memorial service, a six-foot high dollar sign was placed next to the open coffin. Previous balls featured a cigar-chomping American speaker in a tuxedo, pumping the air and encouraging shouts of "Viva capitalism”.


The Czech Republic and Slovakia - Gross misdemeanours

3.3.2005

When Czechoslovakia broke up in 1993, the fate of its successor states seemed obvious. Slovakia would drift deeper into authoritarianism under its ham-fisted leader, Vladimír Mečiar. The Czech Republic would be a model of prudence. For the next few years that was just what happened. But in the late 1990s the Czechs lost the secret of good government and the Slovaks found it.

2.2.2005
