Members of the Department of Management presented their research at WINIR 2026

From 22 to 24 July 2026, Rome hosted the international conference WINIR 2026 (World Interdisciplinary Network for Institutional Research), held this year under the theme Private and Public Institutions for Good Governance. The conference regularly brings together researchers in economics, management, history, political science and other social sciences with a focus on institutional research.

The Department of Management of the Faculty of Business Administration, Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE), was represented by Lucie Mařanová and Václav Cejthamr. Both spoke in the thematic panel Institutional Evolution & Rupture: Historical Perspectives on Economic Order & Governance, which Lucie Mařanová also organised and chaired. Her paper, Institutional Foundations of Industrialization: The Transformation of the Textile Sector in the Habsburg Monarchy and Austria-Hungary (1800–1914), explored the institutional conditions of industrial transformation in the Habsburg Monarchy. Václav Cejthamr contributed the paper Expropriation under Institutional Rupture: Political Risk and the Case of Electrolux in Czechoslovakia (1948), which analyses the expropriation of Electrolux in Czechoslovakia after 1948 from the perspective of institutional change and political risk.

Tanweer Ali and Marek Hudík also attended the conference on behalf of the Faculty of Business Administration.

The conference gave an opportunity to present researchers’ work to the international academic community and to establish new contacts for future research collaboration.
