If we try it anyway, we can call it the century of changes, when series of wars and peace treaties, inventions and discoveries made people realize that they had to learn again how to live together because we were given only one Earth, which appears to be smaller and smaller. However the economic and political leaders of even the most developed countries experienced that the “melting pot of peoples” is not functioning any more in a population which originally include mixed ethnic groups and differ- ent cultural identities. Nowadays it is already clear since the last century that when mobility increased, cultural tolerance could not be guaranteed even by legal measures. A period of years or decades is not suffcient to reach cultural merge, sometimes centuries and common experiences are needed. Unfortunately even world wars and the setbacks and losses of the almost unstoppably reoccurring local wars were not enough to establish a more peaceful coexistence on Earth. In reality the multi-ethnic and multi-religious empires which made attempts with large armies and despotism failed continuously. So could it happen that a society, an economic or political system was shattered by an unexpected event to such an extent that scientists, who intended to clear up the whys and wherefores real- ized the signifcance of cultural differences in political, ideological and economic changes and crises. The situation is very similar in management science as well. In fact we can allege that the world expects a new management paradigm instead of the classic management schools. The idea of consumer society globalized rapidly but it also brought to surface the other social inequalities closely connected to it. Several thinkers have already tried to prognosticate the big challenges of st the 21 century, for example that in our era the real question is not who has the power, who is able to enforce interests but how to unify efforts in order to reach our goals. We have to admit that the formulation of the goals became more diff- cult. Nevertheless I would like to fnd the answers for the challenges of the new 8 Preface era based on those fndings of an American researcher (Clarence N. Stone), which he collected during the observation of US cities – still these results are valid for the whole mankind. The main point of his opinion is that we have to focus on the mechanism of coalition building and the successfulness not on certain ac- tors, even if it is not easy to convince the public about the necessity of the new approach. The main goal of management would be to set the goals, to create the coalition but on the other hand it must be kept in mind what is realizable and who are able to support it for the most part. The essence of this point of view is that the real challenge of the future is not the power over something but the power to something. In the case of Central-European countries there are cultural differences, but the number of those cultural elements, which connect us, is much higher. The rea- sons of our socio-economic problems are completely different compared to the other, more developed parts of the world, only their manifestation may look sim- ilar. We try to strengthen ourselves in this region of the world, which has suffered a lot, still it is blessed with stand-alone cultural heritage. During this presumably long process the common Polish and Hungarian values offered an opportunity to fnd the best and most expedient answers and to strengthen our cooperation not only in the past but in the future as well. The papers of this book try to serve as symbolic building stones for this process. Prof. dr. habil Magdolna Láczay PART I
