This research aims to determine the performance of the Medan City Regional Public Market Company in managing the Sei Sikambing traditional market. This research is useful for providing information so that the municipalities can manage traditional markets and optimize market levy revenues to increase Regional Original Income. This research uses descriptive research using qualitative analysis. Data collection techniques through observation, documentation, interviews, and literature review. The results of this study show that Medan City Market Regional Public Company is not optimal for the management of the Sei Sikambing market. It shows performance indicators, namely productivity, service quality, and responsiveness. Productivity indicators are still not optimal because there are still some obstacles that have not been resolved, so the marketing fee revenue target has not been met. The quality of the services provided is sufficient but needs to be improved by improving market facilities and infrastructure that support improving service quality. Responsiveness is still less than optimal because all the needs required by traders cannot be fully addressed. Apart from that, the Medan City Market Regional Public Company faces several obstacles in managing the market, namely: 1) There are no regional regulations that have been passed regarding the management of street vendors, 2) the implementation of the duties of each market management authority is still not optimal, 3) the budget is not optimal. limited in supporting traditional market management.

The relationship between China (PRC) and the United States (USA) has reached an unprecedented level of tension, mainly due to economic and technological rivalry. This study introduces an original quantitative method, the Pentagon of Technological Competitiveness of Economy (PTCE) to measure the technological competitiveness of both countries from 2000 to 2020. The findings reveal that while the USA remains a global technological leader, the PRC is emerging as a formidable challenger. Although the USA still holds the lead, signs of decline are visible, while the PRC exhibits a remarkable upward trajectory in technological competitiveness. The findings provide actionable recommendations for policymakers. To reinforce its position as the unrivaled technological leader, the USA should prioritize enhancing capabilities in areas such as patents, scientific articles and the export of high technology and STEM-related products. For the PRC there is an unprecedented opportunity to surpass the USA in technological leadership by strategic investments in research, innovation and human capital development. The novelty of this research lies in two main areas: (i) its significant contribution to competitiveness analysis through the introduction of the PTCE method and (ii) its provision of a comprehensive assessment of the shifting technological dynamics between the USA and the PRC.

Objective: Intelligence in public management is recognized as an innovative approach that leverages technologies to enhance decision-making processes and facilitate democratic planning by establishing formal structures, engaging public servants and managers, and fostering social involvement for efficient data and information management. Despite its innovative potential, intelligence in public management requires legitimacy within government spheres. The objective of this study is to validate a model for the institutionalization of intelligence in public management, grounded in a theoretical framework encompassing ten dimensions of intelligence categorized into organizational structure, technological infrastructure, human capital, and social engagement. Methods: Employing quantitative research, data were collected through a survey conducted among managers and civil servants in the Brazilian context. Results: The results demonstrate a positive impact of the analyzed categories on the institutionalization of intelligence in public management, with human capital emerging as the most influential factor. Conclusions: This study underscores the significance of adopting an institutional perspective in structuring intelligence processes within public management, thereby offering avenues for theoretical advancement in the field and suggesting pathways toward establishing legitimacy for intelligence activities within government frameworks.

Modern bureaucratic competencies, such as creativity, innovative problem-solving, and critical thinking, have become essential in contemporary public management due to complex challenges in a wide range of areas, including the economy, social welfare, and the environment. This has led to a greater focus on developing these competencies, through innovative methods like creative problem-solving (CPS) in the training of public management specialists. The aim of this study is to identify specific competencies among public management professionals that can be cultivated through the CPS approach and to explore the critical conditions for its successful implementation. The analysis was conducted at the Military Academy of Lithuania, where CPS techniques have been consistently integrated into public management-related subjects for several years, forming a stable foundation for the in-depth investigation. First, the study examines Lithuania’s legal framework for public management and public management education to implement CPS. Second, a qualitative data analysis of open-ended feedback (n = 199) highlights practical application. The findings reveal that the Lithuanian legal context underscores the importance of fostering creativity and innovation among public managers. Furthermore, the practical integration of CPS into public management curricula promotes modern bureaucratic qualities such as teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, and leadership. However, effective CPS implementation requires additional curriculum time, a supportive and creative learning environment, and strong teacher and student commitment. These findings underscore CPS’s potential as a valuable tool for cultivating public management competencies. Acknowledgment The study is financed from the funds of the study-supporting project “Research on the Management of Security and Defense Institutions of Small States” (General Jonas Žemaitis Lithuanian Military Academy, 2020-12-17, No. V-828).

The article examines the mechanisms of public management of higher education in Ukraine and their implementation. The true nature of the «mechanism of public management» category is revealed, this is a necessary prerequisite for increasing the efficiency of public management mechanisms. Established mechanisms of public management of education modernization contribute to a coherent and rational approach to the management of processes of reform and renewal of the educational sector of Ukraine. The article analyzes the various mechanisms used by the government to regulate and supervise institutions of higher education. Also, the mechanisms of public management are characterized in different ways. These mechanisms include policy formulation, legislative framework, accreditation processes, quality assurance mechanisms and financial support mechanisms. The methods of managing the development of higher education applied by the government should have a significant impact on improving the quality of educational services in Ukraine. Each mechanism of public management has its own character and should be considered as a set of generally accepted management methods. The true nature and functionality of the education system is best revealed by a systemic approach. Various mechanisms are distinguished by the nature of influence, such as political, organizational, legal, economic and social. Effective management of the higher education system is crucial for the development of the country's education sector. The paper also examines the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, including government agencies, universities, teachers and students, in shaping and implementing policy and practice in the higher education system. In addition, it discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with public management of higher education, such as ensuring accessibility, promoting excellence, promoting research and innovation, and matching education with labor market demands. The article emphasizes the importance of a well-functioning governance system to foster a competitive and internationally recognized higher education sector in Ukraine.

The article develops a complex mechanism of public management of the economic development of urban areas, which includes a set of directions, as well as tasks aimed at their provision, in particular: 1. the development of the economic potential and competitive advantages of urban areas, which first of all means the transition to an innovative type of development, the development of the largest urban agglomerations as centers of economic growth, which involves the achievement of the following tasks: the creation of centers of economic development, through the formation of agglomerations, the creation of clusters, technopolises, technology parks and business incubators; development of processing industry: transition from trade in raw materials to trade in goods with high added value; creation of new jobs through the development of small and medium-sized businesses; determination of priority industries that should be developed in accordance with the potential of urbanized areas; 2. reconstruction and development of infrastructure that meets the requirements of environmental friendliness and energy efficiency, focused on inclusiveness and innovation, in the framework of which the following tasks are defined: restoration of critical infrastructure, in particular energy facilities, electricity, water and gas supply; development of logistical support, in particular, restoration of roads, bridges, airports, railway infrastructure; reconstruction and development of social facilities, in particular educational institutions, health care institutions, cultural institutions); 3. development of the field of urban planning, reconstruction and development of the housing stock, which includes a set of tasks aimed at: improving the planning and development of territories; renewal of dilapidated and emergency housing stock; provision of temporary housing for internally displaced persons; reconstruction of damaged as a result of military aggression and construction of new residential buildings with provision of engineering, transport and social infrastructure. In order to ensure the achievement of the tasks outlined above in terms of the identified directions, a list of measures of legal, organizational, economic and information influence, which should be aimed at the restoration and economic development of urbanized areas, has been determined. In general, the proposed complex mechanism will contribute to overcoming the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war in urban areas and their further economic development, which in turn will contribute to the reconstruction and modernization of the country, the construction of a new model of the economy, and will also allow Ukraine to become a highly developed European state.

The article focuses on several relevant directions for what the profile of the cultural institutions manager in the Romanian public domain represents, accentuating a specific type of public institution, meaning, the students' houses of culture. The questionnaire was the method used to obtain the data concerning the manager’s activity and his role within the Romanian public cultural institution. The research survey consisted of a questionnaire made up of five questions, which was sent to all the managers of the cultural houses of the students in Romania and to some other managers of cultural institutions (theaters, museums, libraries, cultural departments). The answers received were summarized and ranked according to the most important areas of interest regarding management and the institutional role assumed by the cultural manager. The results of the questionnaires showed that the role of manager of a state cultural institution in Romania is challenging and full of contradictions and dilemmas. All respondents agreed that being a manager in a cultural institution requires knowing very well the target group(s) or the beneficiaries of the organized activities and having the necessary vision to satisfy exactly those cultural needs that they require. The main problem is that the human and material resources to satisfy these needs are often limited, so the manager is the one who must make correct and firm decisions regarding the distribution of these resources so that the proposed objectives turn into the expected results. Mainly, the measures for change and a productive management are: facilitating the attraction of income (own, subsidies, other types of financing) for the development of the activity of the students' culture houses, including on the part of investments in the existing cultural heritage; increasing the number of employees, as well as their appropriate motivation in terms of salary (and/or other benefits); the creation of effective levers for closer collaboration between similar institutions in Romania; promoting the institution through professional marketing means; continuous adaptation of the institution's actions to the current needs of students.

Women’s participation and the nature of assistance in the provision of social policies, especially in healthcare related to socially significant diseases, is becoming more prominent. The aim of this study is to develop proposals for streamlining the palliative care system in Kazakhstan based on the analysis of the influence of women volunteers on the process of public administration. The paper interviewed two groups of respondents: volunteers and workers (medical institutions and charity organizations employees). Atlas.ti software was used to analyze and construct specific feedback on the data received. The coding results revealed that women volunteers act as an intermediary between the state administration and the palliative care system. In addition, it was determined that the prominent participants in developing the palliative care system are hospitals and charitable foundations. In general, the contribution of women volunteers to financial assistance, organization of training and master classes for doctors in the field of oncology, and provision of additional beds for patients and consultations was revealed. Further, the state’s main shortcomings in organizing palliative care were identified: poor regional budgeting system, weak legislative system, and inadequate financing of hospitals. The findings imply that women volunteers should be given a higher status and included in the public administration structure, especially for different representations of the needs of minorities. AcknowledgmentsThis study is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of science and higher education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant “Priorities and mechanisms against rural women of Kazakhstan unequal access to the resources” No. AP14869297).

The share of crimes against human life and health on average is up to 10% worldwide, and losses are estimated from 0.3 to 3% of GDP. This study examines the dependence of the rate of violence and crime against human life and health on the state policy elements in the example of transitioning and developing countries. The crime index, the share of people reporting crime, the rate of violence or vandalism in the area, and the number of intentional homicide offenses in the largest cities were used as parameters characterizing the rate of violence and crime against human life and health. All parameters were divided into institutional, social, and economic. The dependence between the indicators was studied using fixed-effects and random-effects models; a grouping of countries according to the nature of this dependence employed the iterative separation method of k-means and tree clustering. Based on the results, it is justified that institutional and economic (highest GDP and real minimum wages) components significantly influence the level of violence and crime against human life and health. For example, the average value of the crime index for the fourth cluster is 29.98 compared to 54.09 for the first cluster. At the same time, strengthening responsibility for committed crimes has a more negligible impact on the crime level than increasing the material well-being of the population and supporting its vulnerable segments.

Rede Globo, a Brazilian open commercial television network and one of the leading national communication vehicles, carried out the project "O Brasil que eu quero" (The Brazil I want), in which the Brazilians reported their desires regarding the public policies they expected from the next president to be elected. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the opinions disclosed by Brazilians in this project, comparing them with Brazilian social indicators. A total of 2,034 testimonials were analyzed qualitatively through content analysis, listing the indicators cited. The results indicated that the fight against corruption is the latent demand of society in all regions for a better future for the country. As a solution, the Brazilian people believe education is the answer to fight against it. In addition, the study presents the differences among the regions, indicating their difficulties and perceptions concerning public policies. The main contribution of this study concerns identifying five categories, namely corruption, education, employment, equality, and health, and the analysis of these categories facing Brazilian socioeconomic indicators.

Intellectual capital refers to the set of intangible assets that create competitiveness in public and private organizations and has a strategically significant role concerning resources, capacities and organizational performance. However, the academic output on intellectual capital in public administration is limited. The present study was conducted in public organizations in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and Arequipa, Peru; both countries are developing economies. The aim was to analyze the effects of human and structural capital on performance in public administration. A total of 502 questionnaires were administered to public employees in the two countries, using the neural networks technique and structural equation modeling. We found that human capital positively impacted organizational performance, and this relationship was mediated by structural capital. Thus, we recommend implementing structural and human capital management practices, given their role in enhancing the performance in public organizations.

The study is limited by analyzing the specifics of reforming the public management of financial and economic security only for Ukraine. Further research should be devoted to the analysis of new international experience in reforming.

Industry 4.0.Competitiveness of modern states is increasingly dependent on the method and scope of using information-communications technologies (ICTs) in the economy and in the implementation of the states' care functions. The application of information-communications technologies (ICTs) in health care is of special importance due to observed dynamic changes taking place in social structures. The main factors contributing to the widespread use of information-communications technologies (ICTs) in health care include demographic changes, the increase in the duration of human life, the increase in health care expenditures, progress in medical science and the increase in patients' ability to use automated devices. The aim of this article is to characterize the main ideas forming the architecture of the Healthcare 4.0 concept and to place this concept in a broader perspective of the Industry 4.0 concept

This research study identifies a specific layer of regulation within the governance regime which is a key factor impeding the procurement and delivery of public infrastructure in South Africa. We first identify current weaknesses of conflict and confusion at the level of soft law in the procurement and delivery of public infrastructure projects. Then we present a detailed case study of a successful South African megaproject (the procurement and delivery of the public infrastructure for two new universities, the New Universities Project) to demonstrate that these weaknesses can be avoided. The research note’s regulatory account focuses on the key element of quality in the South African public procurement regime, distinguishing that concept from the often conflated notion of value-for-money. We discuss how the problems identified could be addressed by means of changes to soft law prior to the finalisation of the current and ongoing public procurement legislative reform process. Contribution: Through a case study of the on-time and with-budget public procurement and delivery of two new universities for South Africa, the article demonstrated that national policy on public infrastructure can be successfully implemented, with attention to the key soft law layer of regulation.

The article describes the energy situation of modern Ukraine. The need to increase the level of energy efficiency and energy saving in the domestic sector of housing and communal services and the introduction of relevant European experience are substantiated. Theoretically, the European experience of state management of energy efficiency and energy saving in the field of housing and communal services with the aim of its practical application in the reality of modern Ukraine is covered. The concepts of «energy saving» and «energy efficiency» are substantially distinguished. The urgency and necessity of increasing the level of energy efficiency and energy saving in the housing sector of housing and communal services of Ukraine are substantiated. The directions of the European state system of management of issues of energy saving and increase of energy efficiency are determined. The tools of energy efficiency improvement used in modern European practice, are given. The most common forms of state incentives for energy saving and increasing the level of energy efficiency and energy saving in European countries are listed. The article shows the necessity of studying, adapting and applying the experience of the Federal Republic of Germany in the field of energy efficiency and energy saving in the field of housing and communal services (creation of LEEN (Learning Energy Efficiency Networks)); STEP up!, public bidding in the field of energy efficiency and energy saving; active stimulation of research activities in the field of energy efficiency and energy saving). The situation regarding energy efficiency and energy saving in the residential sector of modern Germany is described. The list of measures taken by the German government to encourage consumers to improve energy efficiency and energy saving is given. The basic principles of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2035 «Security, Energy Efficiency, Competitiveness» are determined. Perspective directions of further theoretical and practical researches concerning studying, generalization and introduction in the Ukrainian realities of modern European experience of the state management of energy efficiency and energy saving in the field of housing and communal services are offered. The paper formulates and solves the relevant scientific task in the field of public management, which consists in theoretical coverage of the European experience of public management of energy efficiency and energy saving in the field of housing and communal services for its practical application in the reality of modern Ukraine.

Implementing performance management systems, including the KPI (Key Performance Indicators) system, at the university level faces many difficulties. The study aims to determine the problems of formation and implementation of the system of KPIs at the HEIs (higher education institutions) level based on the case study. Methodologically the study is based on the analysis of the case of the KPI system implementation at Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University (Ukraine) using a 3-year project survey of managers and employees of structural units about self-analysis of deviations and perception of each performance indicator. The essential subjective factor – irrational participants’ behavior – is demonstrated, reflected in their resistance, fear, and lack of acceptance of innovations in assessment processes, which needs to delineate tools for effective KPI system implementation (reduction of its negative influence and growth of the personnel loyalty). The main organizational obstacles that reduce such a measurement system’s efficiency are incomprehensibility, difficulty of evaluation, non-influence or independency of indicators from the efforts of respondents, poor communication, and motivation to achieve them. The analysis results allowed providing the recommendations that could contribute to the formation of reflexive and active management culture in the strategic management system and a culture of productive dialogue through vertically and horizontally management interaction.

Purpose – The need to improve the efficiency and quality of public services has increased the interest in innovation. This study seeks to understand the relationship between the Public Service Motivation (PSM) index and the profile of strategic-level public servants who are considered innovative. Design/methodolog/approach – Questionnaires were applied to the group of government managers who registered their projects in an innovation competition. Data were analyzed using t-test, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Findings – This paper concluded that the PSM level of these innovative public servants is significantly greater than public servants overall. In terms of the profile of these innovative government managers, it was found that the majority were female, with a high level of education and a background in Information Technology. Practical implications – The discovery that innovative government managers have a significantly higher PSM (p < 0.05) than public servants overall may be relevant, because it confirms a statistical tendency that it would be advantageous for policy-makers to invest in actions that increase public servant PSM since these servants with high PSM are more innovative. Originality/value – This article has sought to fill a gap in studies that associate the level of PSM with the innovation practices in the public sector, as well as verify the profile of public servants with high levels of motivation in public service (PSM).

The article substantiates the need to introduce an audit of traffic safety in Ukrainian automobile roads in the face of globalization and efficient public management. The article focuses on improving the level of traffic safety and the system of driving management by introducing a traffic safety audit. Traffic safety audits have been proven to be an important instrument for reducing road traffic accidents and risk of road accidents in many countries around the world. The experience of introducing a traffic safety audits in such foreign countries as Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada is considered, the possibility of its adaptation to the conditions of Ukraine is analyzed. The analysis of road traffic accidents in Ukraine for the period 2017-2019 is presented. The components of the occurrence of road traffic accidents, the technical and exploitative condition of automobile roads, the number and compliance of the technical condition of vehicles, the economic entities with the traffic ethics are considered. The stages of traffic safety audit are considered; it is specified that the effectiveness and efficiency of traffic safety audit depends on the availability of policies, programs, and the specification of audit procedures. The need to analyze the implementation of traffic safety measures in previous years (as an imperative of traffic safety audit) is proved. It is noted that an important component of traffic safety audit is the transport audit, the components of carrying out a transport audit are presented. The feasibility of analyzing previously implemented measures to prevent road traffic accidents by the authorities of the ministries and departments is proved. The issues of educating and training auditors are considered.

ABSTRACT: The creative services sector plays an important and constantly growing role in the modern economy. This publication presents the results of extensive research on the functioning of the creative sector in Polish cities, conducted on a representative sample of 287 cities located throughout Poland. The sample was good in such a way as to maintain the structure by province. The survey included questions rated on a 5-point Likert scale. The aim of the research was to study the functioning of the creative sector in Polish cities and to determine whether the active involvement of public administration in its development has a positive impact on this sector. The research was carried out on the example of a medium-sized European country, which is Poland. The original contribution of the authors of the publication is to demonstrate, on a large research sample, the existence of a positive impact of the municipal office’s activities on the creative sector for example using special funds to boost creativity sector in the city, and to ascertain the existence of a linear relationship between the city size and the level of the creative sector functioning in it.

This study examines how individual perceptions of the work environment reflecting the psychological climate could influence the stress felt by public servants. This study adopts a transactional perspective to argue that valuation of the work environment and the job itself influences the perception of potential stressors and hypothesizes the relationship between the self-engagement psychological climate, stress, and intention to stay in public service. The proposed hypotheses are validated through a cross-sectional survey of 332 public servants in Switzerland. First, the study finds that role clarity, contribution, and supportive management characterize the psychological climate of public servants. Second, the results of the multiple regression analysis indicate that the psychological climate reduces the felt stress with the highest impact of the role clarity. Third, mediation analysis indicates that the psychological climate mediates the relationship between intention to stay and stress. These findings suggest an important theoretical role for the work environment perception in alleviating stress. In practice, findings imply that public managers can foster a higher psychological climate by setting clear organizational roles and predictable task norms, as well as by providing opportunities for career development.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of a study which analyzes the use of liquidity management among municipalities within the Czech Republic. A research carried out by the Faculty of Management and Economics of TBU in Zlín found that the use of liquidity management in Czech cities is still relatively low. Two basic data collection methods were applied: the use of accounting information from the public database (260 municipalities) and a questionnaire survey implemented in the form of controlled interviews (167 respondents). Applying the accounting data database, we sought to determine whether the recommended values of individual liquidity ratios are also valid in the public sector, specifically among municipalities. Based on the data analysis, we ascertained that most liquidity values of municipalities indicate higher values than those stated as recommended for the private sector, but based on this statistical evaluation, it is not possible as of yet to positively confirm this hypothesis at the significance level 0.05. The results of the study showed that municipalities use liquidity management within a limited scope. Non-profit organizations are recommended to control their liquidity according to general rules, whereas for municipalities it is most advantageous to use the quick ratio and cash position ratio. Each municipality can therefore determine the mutual relationship between components of short-term assets and short-term liabilities according to their own conditions and limitations, e.g. when handling flow transfers, money in funds, or tax income and expenses.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention of professors, technical-administrative servants and outsourced workers of the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). Design/methodology/approach - The authors conducted analyses of variance, with the multiple comparisons made using Tukey’s post hoc tests, as well as regression analyses. The sample of 297 workers included 115 faculty members, 86 technical-administrative servants and 96 outsourced employees. Findings - The results showed that the job satisfaction of outsourced workers was significantly higher than that of the public servants. On the other hand, professors presented the highest level of affective commitment, significantly higher than technical-administrative employees and outsourced workers. Turnover intention of outsourced workers was lower than that of technical-administrative employees, despite the stability of the latter group. Practical implications - From a practical standpoint, the results may guide the development human resource management policies and practices aligned with the reality and the needs of public servants and outsourced employees, thus fostering their job satisfaction, commitment and retention. Originality/value - This study is relevant given the increased use of outsourced labor in the public administration and the relative paucity of empirical studies with this group of workers, as evidenced by the review of the national literature. Moreover, as the theme of outsourcing is quite controversial, the authors hope this new evidence contributes to the debate.

Abstract. The determination of relevant trends in economic and organizational aspects of public management of society is conditioned by the global character of economic, social, and cultural changes, the spread of new technologies during the IV international revolution, the crises associated with the pandemic of coronavirus, hybrid wars, trade wars, leadership struggle in the global and local scale and other problems of the world and local sort. The article uses the review of publications devoted to the further development of society to actualize the utilization of approaches to the progressive capitalism outlined by J. Stiglitz and the solidary civilization as the purposeful tendencies for the economic and organizational principles of the system of public management. The article ascertains that management of the further development of society requires a modern scientific argumentation and scientific support with the help of the development of the special scientific theory – the theory of public management. The directions of public management in the economic, institutional, social, cultural, and political spheres are proposed considering the stated tendencies in the formation of modern civilization. It is proved that finding an effective consensus between public authorities, entrepreneurs and the general public occupies a special place for economic development and implies that: - all types of public activity must be consistent with the peculiarities of modern civilizational development of the country; - economic interests of society should be an unconditional value in the search and implementation of management decisions that are formed in the constantly updated conditions of the country’s development. In today’s world, social transformation processes in the field of public administration require active theoretical argumentation and appropriate scientific support in order to make and implement socially important decisions on economic, social and cultural issues. Keywords: economic and organizational aspects, sustainable economic development, public management, public sphere, society, digital world, public consensus, progressive capitalism, solidary character of relations.

Nowadays, in conditions of globalisation, and simultaneously with tendencies to decentralise management at the level of states and regions, individual territorial units (cities, municipalities, regions) are forced to adopt a more proactive, market-oriented approach to development. This process requires constant analysis of the environment and response to emerging changes; consideration of the offers of the competition and customer’s expectations. The purpose of this article is to show a market approach to managing the development of territorial units as a function of entrepreneurship. In particular, to show the relationship between the market orientation of local governments and entrepreneurship. This is understood, on the one hand, as a process of identifying and using opportunities and on the other, as a process of creating new enterprises, where special attention is paid to the emerging idea of territorial units as entrepreneurs. The latter concept appears increasingly frequently in the literature and colloquial language. Market orientation is an expression of the entrepreneurship of local government. Its impact on entrepreneurship on a given territorial unit is a new and important research area that requires exploration. The paper is based on the theoretical discussion using selected literature on the subject.

Muchos países se encuentran implementando las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad para el Sector Público (NICSP), bajo el postulado de que con ello se promueve la calidad de la información contable y se mejora la transparencia y rendición de cuentas por parte de la administración pública. Este trabajo, por su parte, busca establecer que dicho proceso se articula con una lógica en la que el Estado es un agente más de mercado, de modo que actores como los prestamistas y algunos organismos multilaterales promueven la implementación de las NICSP a través de la concesión de beneficios financieros a los países deudores. Tras construir un panel de datos desbalanceado que incluye alrededor de 67 países de ingreso bajo y cubre el periodo 2005-2012, estimar diversos modelos econométricos y realizar las pruebas estadísticas de rigor, se constata, por ejemplo, que existe una asociación negativa entre la tasa de interés promedio de la nueva deuda externa y el Índice de Calidad de la Gestión Presupuestal y Financiera (proxy del grado de avance de la implementación de NICSP). || Nowadays, there are many countries implementing the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) under the assumption that they allow to provide quality to accounting information, as well as greater transparency and accountability. This research, in turn, seeks to establish that this process is articulated according to a logic in which the State is another market agent, so actors such as lenders and some multilateral organizations (e.g., the World Bank) encourage the IPSAS implementation by granting financial benefits for debtor countries. After constructing an unbalanced data panel that includes about 67 low-income countries and covers the period 2005-2012, estimating various econometric models and performing rigorous statistical tests, it is found, for example, that there is a negative relationship between the average interest rate on the new external debt and the Quality of Budgetary and Financial Management (proxy for the advance in IPSAS implementation).

Deze bijdrage betreft een onderzoek dat is uitgevoerd naar de implementatie van opgavegericht werken binnen vier gemeenten. Hoewel de vier gemeenten opgavegericht werken formeel hebben vastgesteld als organisatieprincipe, blijken drie van deze gemeenten in de praktijk niet opgavegericht te werken. De perceptie van de medewerkers lijkt daarbij bepalender dan de formeel vastgestelde sturingsvorm. Het naast elkaar hanteren van verschillende organisatieprincipes kan de ruimte voor een divergerende perceptie vergroten. Bij de gemeente waarbij wel opgavegericht wordt gewerkt, zijn de gemeenteraadsleden minder positief over deze manier van werken dan de externe partijen.

This work aims to demonstrate the efficiency degree achieved by the Brazilian states in the allocation of public resources for education. We used multivariate statistical analysis, with Data Envelopment Analysis and Multiple Regression, with data from 2001 to 2011. The results show that some states achieved good efficiencies such as Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul. These states succeeded in conciliating reasonable expenses with good scores in education assessments and tests. Maranhão and Pará had unsatisfactory scores in teaching, but also lower budgets of public expenditure. Thus, focusing on Brazilian Public Education, the results show the efficiency degree in public spending and education outcomes, using several variables and time periods.

The most significant, in the author's opinion, problems of anti-recessionary public management in Russia have been brought out in the article. The genesis of these problems having formed at present has been revealed. It has been shown that the whole complex of problems was generated with the change of the territorial approach to the public management. Some problems of public management of economic and political genesis have been formulated. A whole number of features of the system approach and its application to achievement of practical purposes of the anti-recessionary public management have been revealed.

This period included some economic crises. The analysis has shown the inability of public authorities of Russia to react operatively to changing of environmental conditions. In reply to crisis calls public authorities of Russia more often implemented so-called “passive” anti-recessionary policy in which basis there was an expectation of crisis cessation on an international or state scales. Or it was so-called “half-hearted” anti-recessionary policy directed on some softening of crisis actions. In the article it is offered to reconsider basic approaches to the anti-recessionary public management. The author upholds the position that for successful development of the state only “active” anti-recessionary state policy based on maximum use of clearing and mobilizing features of crisis is possible. Only such anti-recessionary policy will promote a way out of the crisis not only with the minimum losses, but also with an acquired potential of development. It will reduce crisis vulnerability of the country in the period ahead.
