The quality of education is influenced by the managerialization of the universities, which refers to the introduction of substantial changes in the decision-making processes of the academic institutions, and the application of renewed information systems along with new managerial methodologies to restructure the organisational strategic relationships with stakeholders. This paper proposes a questionnaire to assess the importance of facilities in universities according to their financial budget consumed value. Semi Structured Interviews were conducted with the heads of logistic and financial departments in Egyptian universities, twenty public universities and twenty-three private universities, in order to identify criteria for the most significant university's facilities and appealing infrastructure that contributes to the quality of education.

2020 is a year of global change. The spread of the COVID-19 virus was an impetus for transformation. The entire globe confronts impediments hard-to-anticipate, but who endangers people’s life. This article refers to the transparency of the decision-making process in the pandemic period. Also, it is explained the communication problems that can appear in complicated situations between the public administration and the citizen. Both the authorities of the European Union, in general, and of the Republic of Moldova, in particular, encounter social problems, which must be resolved in a very short period. Many decisions must be made promptly and unforeseen. It is important that this process does not affect the quality of public services provided and does not infringe on the rights of citizens. Thus, the decision-making process must be transparent and accessible to citizens

One of the most fundamental principles of Good Governance is the principle of participation. The more substantial public participation in the decision-making process the better the government's policy products. The national development planning system regulated in the form of legislation, has incorporated the principle of participation in such instruments. However, in some respects, the legislation has not been set ideally about the normative limits on the extent to which the public participation is real can be done, so as to guarantee the quality of the resulting product policies. The lack of seriousness of government in applying the principle of participation in the system of development planning finally Positioning society in symbolic participation, not on substantial partisipation.Keyword : Good Governance, Participation, Development PlanningSalah satu prinsip Good Governance yang paling mendasar adalah prinsip partisipasi. Semakin subtansial partisipasi masyarakat dalam proses pengambilan keputusan maka semakin baik produk kebijakan pemerintahan tersebut. Sistem perencanaan pembangunan nasional yang diatur dalam bentuk perundang-undangan, telah memasukkan prinsip partisipasi dalam instrumen hukum tersebut. Namun dalam tataran tertentu, perundang-undangan tersebut belum mengatur secara ideal mengenai batas-batas normatif mengenai sejauh mana partisipasi masyarakat itu secara nyata dapat dilakukkan, sehingga menjadi jaminan kualitas atas produk kebijakan yang dihasilkan.Ketidakseriusan pemerintah dalam penerapan prinsip partisipasi dalam sistem perencanaan pembangunan akhirnya memposisikan masyarakat dalam partisipasi simbolik, bukan pada partrisipasi subtansial.Kata Kunci : Good Governance, Partisipasi, Perencanaan Pembangunan


Decision making is one of the duties of a leader, both leaders in public and private organizations. The research aims to analyze the public perception on the quality of the decision-making process by the female leader of the local government. Descriptive qualitative research method was employed, and the data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that the stages in decision making process had not been conducted properly. Decisions were not taken based on clear and accurate data and information that made it hard to be legally, morally and ethically accountable in the scope of administration. The aspirations of people received less attention, rarely involving subordinates, insufficient understanding of regulation causes nonprocedural, unconstitutional, and discretionary decisions. As a recommendation, it is necessary to conduct further research related to the decision-making process of female leaders.

AbstractThis paper investigates the relationship between the dimensions of the decisionmaking process quality and company performance of top managers’ in Slovenia. We found out that companies whose managers exhibit an above-average dimension of openness of spirit in the quality of the decision making process, on average, have a higher stance on foreign markets as companies in which managers show a below-average open spirit. For the managers who work in companies that are present in foreign markets, we could confirm that there is a low/weak correlation between the dimension of effort of the decision-making process quality and the number of employees in a company.

In this paper I analyze the effect of transparency on decision making in committees. I focus on committees whose members are motivated by career concerns. The main result is that when the decision-making process is secretive (when individual votes are not revealed to the public), committee members comply with preexisting biases. For example, if the voting rule demands a supermajority to accept a reform, individuals vote more often against reforms. Transparent committees are therefore more likely to accept reforms. I also find that coupled with the right voting rule, a secretive procedure may induce better decisions than a transparent one. (JEL D71, D72)

Abstract The issue of quality is a very important aspect of the operation of transport companies. In relation to the area of their activity it primarily focuses on the quality of services provided, which can be verified e.g. on the basis of timeliness of deliveries or accepted complaints. This allows for examining the quality after providing the service in order to take future pro-quality actions. However, is it possible to affect the quality of services provided before their provision? The transport process itself is preceded with a range of actions taken within the framework of detailed planning and organization, which can significantly influence the quality of services. The decisions made at the management level are conditioned by many factors determining the course of future events, however, this is not always enough to make the process run uninterruptedly. Therefore, it is important to structure basic actions at the initial stage so as to allow the smooth conduct of the decision-making process for the specific task in order to subsequently focus on the detailed analysis of the actions planned. In the paper, the author attempts to characterize the fundamental factors affecting the decisions taken during the planning and organization of the transport process. The objective of the conducted research is to verify initial decisions and their significance for the improvement in the quality of transport services provided. There was conducted the algorithmization of actions and interpretation of their importance for the quality of decisions taken at the preparatory stage and during transport.

A wider use of renewable energy is emerging as a viable solution to meet the increasing demand for global energy while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. However, current literature on renewable energy, particularly on wind power, highlights the social barriers and public opposition to renewable energy investment. One solution to overcome the public opposition, which is recommended by scholars, is to deploy a collaborative approach. Relatively little research has specifically focused on the role of effective communication and the use of a knowledge-broker in collaborative decision-making. This study attempts to fill this gap through the proposition of a participatory framework that highlights the role of the knowledge-broker in a wind project decision-making process. In this paper, five illustrative wind projects in Ontario are used to highlight the current situation with public participation and to address how the proposed framework could have improved the process. Based on the recommended collaborative framework, perception must shift from the dominant view of the public as “a risk to be managed” towards “a resource that can be tapped”. The developers need to improve sharing what they know and foster co-learning around questions and concerns.
