“…Additionally, the cross-country comparison in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) by Čater, Lang and Szabo (2013) within the so called GLOBE Students project -a direct extension from the original GLOBE project -has also shown students to be good proxies of future leaders in terms of their values and leadership expectations. A similar conclusion was also made by Mihelič and Lipičnik (2010) in a comparison of manager vs. student values in Slovenia. In their research, values have been established not only as a good predictor of peoples' behavior (Ferić 2007), but as good predictors of economic outcomes (Potočan, Mulej and Čančer 2008).…”

“…unlisted company will weigh the possible economic consequences of the disclosure of (proprietary) segment information when choosing whether to disclose information by segments. Nevertheless, the management at companies in the countries in transition, such as Slovenia 4 , frequently adopt key initiatives in the development of a company and its policy (Mühlbacher et al 2011), and the results of one study show that the observance of legal and technical pronouncements is important to the management at companies in Slovenia (Miheliþ/Lipiþnik 2010). Knowing these earlier study findings, this study examines the management behaviour ("business practise") in unlisted Slovenian companies in relation to disclosures by segments, which are mandatory disclosures in accordance with pronouncements.…”
