“…Radovi koji se bave povezanošću restrukturiranja javnih preduzeća sa rezultatima glasanja na izborima u Srbiji konstatuju da ekonomske varijable, pored tempa restrukturiranja, nisu od statističkog značaja, uzimajući 8 Termin "Knowledge workers" uveo je američki naučnik Piter Draker u obzir i nivo zaposlenosti u preduzećima koja se nalaze u procesu restrukturiranja. Jaka pozitivna korelacija koja postoji između nivoa zaposlenosti u ovim preduzećima i promene zaposlenosti (sporija promena i viši nivo zaposlenosti) mogla bi biti pokazatelj da su političari težili bržem restrukturiranju u opštinama u kojima je udeo te zaposlenosti bio relativno nizak, što se smatralo manje politički različnijim [15].…”

This paper deals with restructuring of public enterprises in Serbia, focusing on the identification of challenges, as well as the analysis of all the key aspects relevant to the process of the restructuring. It points out the importance of theoretical perspectives and the state with its institutional framework in providing support and restructuring guidelines. Financial challenges and social aspects are also highlighted, as well as employee protection measures. It also deals with the influence of politics, economy and human capital on the process itself. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive insight into the challenges, implications, and both theoretical and practical sides to restructuring of public enterprises. The goal is to understand the complexity and specific details of the restructuring, while identifying all the key factors of the process-success and obstacles. A detailed study of relevant literature, research papers, articles and regulations had been conducted prior to writing this paper. Applicable restructuring theoretical models and concepts were also examined. After analysis and research, it was noticed that the restructuring of public enterprises in Serbia faces different challenges, such as: political interference, lack of financial resources, structure inflexibility, and resistance to change. The state and institutions play an important role in the process of restructuring. We emphasized the importance of adequate employee protection during restructuring and provided guidelines for achieving social justice. The results provide a starting point for further research, including those regarding specific sectors, implementing new technologies and some innovative approaches to restructuring.

“…The GIS acceptance and further utilization within planning agencies depended more on the professional's cognition and organizational capacities than upon the availability of technology or budget, and planning professionals resisted learning and changing their standard working procedures unless their motivation is gained [90,91]. The possible strategy to overcome these constraints interlinking the GIS modeling with the training program, not only about GIS/PSS as a technology but also on their instrumental usefulness in overcoming the planning paradigm transition difficulties [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] and gaining more appropriate planning outcomes for the local context [90,91]. This approach was tested in the Town Planning Institute of Belgrade and resulted in the successful and continued utilization of GIS-supported spatial modeling that was later followed by other city planning agencies [90].…”

“…The main characteristics of Serbia's post-socialist transitional process are social turbulences, obstructive initial capital accumulation and slow institutional reforms [41][42][43][44]. Under this continuing social dynamic, the former socialist "golden age" of environmental and social wellbeing nourishment through rational planning started to fade [45][46][47][48].…”

An Integral Approach to the Modeling of Information Support for Local Sustainable Development—Experiences of a Serbian Enabling Leadership Experiment

Collaborative strategic decision making has to be widely informed, communicated and knowledge-based in order to innovate transformations toward local and global sustainability. It is unimaginable that this process could be effective without computer-aided information support, but the research indicates the utilization constraints within human capacities to recognize their usability and usefulness. These constraints seem to be even more challenging within the intensively transitional social contexts, such as Serbia. We argue that understanding the relationships between sustainability, governance, and planning in a specific social context has profound importance to gain usefulness of information support and to ensure its increasing utilization. Identifying the practical path of information support modeling requires an operational framework that encompasses innovative and socially valid initiatives. Therefore, an integral theory framework was chosen to comprehend all social influences on the information support of successful utilization. This article presents the integral framework of the information support’s conceptual setting, which was used to build up community-based collaborative action research (CBCAR) as a transformative social learning process that enables information support utilization, and it was tested in six municipalities of Serbia. The implementation of pilot territorial information support (TIS) initiatives resulted in continuous and proactive local community efforts in information support development and usage.

“…The question then is why the losers accept new policies. SeeBegovic and Paunovic (2011) for an example of this strand of the literature.14Cassing (1991) provides a model of "policy hysteresis", but in this framework there is no punishment for the politicians if they cater to special interests.…”
