Abstract
Based on our exploratory study with senior executive managers and human resource managers from companies, our research has identified the following trends in business organizations in Hungary: efficiency pressure due to the harsh economic conditions; increasing political influence and centralization; strong global trends in consumer-consciousness through internationally connected social networks (e.g. sustainability, ethical issues, social responsibility etc.). These trends, together with generational differences in organizations, press for changes in organizations such as increasing consumer focus and employee orientation and introducing more purposeful, flexible, organic structures with supportive and coaching-style leadership; and better quality of work and work-life balance. In this chapter, we give some recommendations for management education in companies and to higher education institutions about how to tackle these challenges constructively.
