<!doctype html public «-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en»> http-equiv=content-type> Marcel Boldorf explores the values, rules, and principles of governance that emerged from denazification and the process of cadre selection while a centralized planned economy was set up in Soviet-occupied East Germany. He considers managerial decision-making and how much freedom of action management retained with mounting centralism. The study contributes thus to an understanding of transformational processes in post-1945 East Germany.
