Window on Eastern Europe: Business and National Culture in Estonia

As the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe try to make capitalism work in an ethical manner, their historical background and the national culture acquired over centuries cannot be ignored, as this study from Estonia eloquently shows. Dr Professor Maksim Saat is Professor of Business Administration, and Dr Mari Meel is Assistant Professor of Business Ethics, at the Tallinn Technical University, Ehitajate tee 5, EE-0026 Tallinn, Estonia. In an Appendix Dr Meel describes how she teaches business ethics to university students.
