Abstract:
The Romanian society evolved from an agriculture based economy to keep industrializing throughout the 20th century. On the way, many stages were crossed by the Romanian nation as the industrialization, the communism, the switch to the capitalistic system then the EU integration. Consequently, the evolution of the Romanian culture was influenced by each of these stages. Since Romania’s integration in the EU the Romanian people is opening up to the other cultures as never before in all fields, especially in the management area. In a context where a big increase of the European FDI in Romania was recorded and more than 11% of the private sector employees are enrolled in multinational companies, the Romanian management culture sees itself challenged and inspired by other ways. This research aims to understand how the Romanian integration to the EU is influencing the management culture, and towards which direction it is taking it. In order to achieve that goal, ten interviews are conducted with managers in several fields to allow us to discover and better understand how the managerial culture of Romania is changing
