                PROFILE OF CEEMAN-L INTERNET LIST
*****************************************************************
CEEMAN-L is an internet discussion list sponsored by the  Central
and  East European Management Development  Association  (CEEMAN),
located  in Slovenia. The list is managed by Dr. Dennis McConnell
at  the Maine Business School (USA). The CEEMAN-L list  currently
has 732 members in 46 countries. Most list members are  represen-
tatives of business schools and economics programs in the CEE/NIS
regions  (Baltics, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia,  and
the Russian Federation).

The list includes many CEEMAN members, and members of both the Russian Association of Business Education (RABE) and the Central Asian Foundation for Management Development (CAMAN). The list also includes representatives from organizations such as the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), the Soros Foundations, Peace Corps volunteers, and representatives from many other organizations involved in management education activi- ties in the CEE/NIS countries (AIESEC, ACCELS, ACTR, ACDI, CDC, CEP, CNFA, CIPE, IESC, IIE, NAFSA, UNDP, USAID, USIA, and VOCA).

The primary purpose of CEEMAN-L is to provide information to academics in CEE/NIS business schools/economic programs who have been isolated from information sources for many years. The list serves more as a bulletin board than as a traditional internet discussion list. The list is moderated (all messages to list mem- bers are first screened by the list manager) - a feature which protects the e-mail budgets of list members who must pay substan- tial fees to receive e-mail at some locations.

As list manager, my task is to monitor many electronic and print information sources, to learn of new publications and informa- tion resources, academic conferences, publishing and consulting opportunities, and funding programs for research and academic exchanges. Any information that would seem to be of interest to CEE/NIS members is posted to CEEMAN-L. Some of the information may be useful and/or interesting to list members in other re- gions. But the primary purpose is to serve the information needs of CEE/NIS members.

Faculty and administrators in business schools and economics pro- grams in the CEE/NIS regions, and individuals interested in the development of such programs, can be added to CEEMAN-L by sending a message directly to me (mailto:mac@maine.maine.edu). Please provide your name, e-mail address, postal address, institutional affilia- tion, and academic/professional interests.
