Working with Choice in Central Europe

Abstract

This paper explores some of the issues associated with espousing the offer of freedom of choice within an action learning program for university faculty teaching management in central Europe-where both freedom of choice and management teaching are reputedly underdeveloped. It is argued that this reputation is ill deserved, and that the concept of 'freedom of choice' as applied in practice by the western partners, and as common currency in the West, lacks the level of clarity necessary for it to become more than dogma.
