The Impact

One of the most difficult processes of Kosovo's postwar is the transformation of public organizations. These organizations have undergone radical changes and the process of transformation should be managed in order to be successful and to meet the needs of the market economy. Change has become a constant process for Kosovo public organizations that provide services to citizens and business organizations. Whether these changes are managed properly, then it is seen as a basis for a better performance of public organizations. Kosova after 1999 has undergone major changes in the social, economical, and political systems. Having this situation, public organizations have a great responsibility to the citizens and business organizations to provide services to adapt to the global trend of development and from which Kosova has been isolated. In this paper the focus will be on the impact of factors that affect the change process; how the process of change is developed; what are the barriers/obstacles that hinder the process of change; what are the benefits of the change; how much are managers in public organizations qualified to implement the process of change. Based on data collected from the field and from current practices, I will make their comparisons and draw conclusions about what factors influences the management changes and what are the barriers that will affect to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the organization gained from the data obtained in study. The data will be collected through questionnaires and findings obtained will help to come into a conclusion that these factors act as change management in public organizations in Kosovo.

The Impact

Collections-based organizations (CBOs) can play a crucial role in addressing sustainable development (SD), but their aspiration to become more sustainable, as seen in policies and guidelines, is confronted with several challenges in practice. To facilitate a sustainability transition, this process of change needs to be managed and adequate tools adopted and implemented. Many tools exist to support this transition; however, a scarcity of centralized resources available to CBOs might negatively affect the integration of sustainability practices in their work. With the aim to address this gap, ICCROM launched the project “Our Collections Matter” (OCM) and developed an online toolkit (OCMT) to centralize resources and help CBOs align their work to the UN Agenda 2030. Recently, a workshop was organized with professionals in the field to discuss shared challenges and aspirations and to test the OCMT. This study reflects on how such centralization of resources can contribute to overcoming existing challenges and support the sustainability aspirations of CBOs, fostering change in the field. To do that, the workshop outcomes are analyzed and discussed from a change management perspective, looking at the impact that the OCM project and its activities can have on fostering change, and the role that ICCROM can play in facilitating the sustainability transition of the field.

The Impact

In modern marketplace business organizations are obliged to take into consideration that in order to compete among other organizations, they must attract the best talents who are able to make creative decisions. According to the latest issue of world competitiveness report (2019), employees are striving for flexibility despite the observed fact that they also tend to lack skills and described as volatile. Organizations are trying to suggest appealing working conditions in order to position themselves as attractive employees. This might be the reason why many of the leading organizations in the world position themselves as employers of flexible working conditions (Wiryakusuma, Chai, King et al. 2017). As there is a skills gap noticed as a prevailing global trend, it became harder for organizations to change employees. Therefore, a lot of efforts and investments are necessary in order to keep a skillful and efficient employee.

The Impact

Time management, as a new and modern discipline, represents a problem in developed countries as well as in Kosovo. The intention of this study is to carry out an analysis as to how these factors affect the time management in public organizations and in private companies in Kosovo. Amongst other factors that influence the management in general, the focus of the present study rests on internal factors, which are resources, capacities and base competence or competitive advantage of the organization, what the level of these factors is and how can organizations advance these factors and thus create a competitive advantage. Time is a necessary and irreplaceable resource in the process of completing tasks. Time is the managers’ valuable asset and in the event they lose it they can neither save nor replace it. The better we make use of time the more we will manage to accomplish. We cannot stop time; we cannot extend nor recover time. What can we manage? We can manage ourselves in time and we must understand the nature of the “time” phenomenon in order to adapt to it. The objective of this study will be to identify the extent that the organizations understand their internal environment, determination of values of these factors and determination of these capacities, identifying of weak and strong points of these factors. Based on the practice and based on the data I shall collect from the field, I will compare the same and will extract conclusions as to how these factors impact the time management, increasing thus the efficacy and efficiency of the organizations included in the study. External data shall be collected by way of quantitative questionnaires in order to come to a conclusion as to how these factors affect the time management in business and public organizations in Kosovo.

Abstract Post-true is defined as partial information that is aimed at achieving a political goal while using the truth but not the whole truth. The paper examines the impact of post-true politics in political systems, concentrating on the secular-religious relations in Israeli politics. The significant of Israeli politics as a test case to examine the validity of post-true in modern politics is since a long-standing compromise has identified Israeli politics and society on religious issues. This compromise consists of an agreed status-que under which all segments of society accept a post-true environment and agree not to agree and not to argue on the volatile issue of state and religion relations. The examination is based on analysis of post-true in Israeli politics according to four leading theories of truth: correspondence, coherence, pragmatic and pluralistic. The purpose of explicating the four theories is to show that the relations between secular and religious groups can be examined according to different standards for truth. The paper predicts that the social, political and religious conflict that identifies Israel since its establishment is going to continue with full force in the years to come, since the post-true environment that this conflict is based upon serves the social aspirations and the political interests of different political parties.

Recent elections in the advanced Western democracies have undermined the basic foundations of political systems that had previously beaten back all challenges—from both the Left and the Right. The election of Donald Trump to the US presidency, only months after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, signaled a dramatic shift in the politics of the rich democracies. This book traces the evolution of this shift and argues that it is a long-term result of abandoning the postwar model of egalitarian capitalism in the 1970s. That shift entailed weakening the democratic process in favor of an opaque, technocratic form of governance that allows voters little opportunity to influence policy. With the financial crisis of the late 2000s, these arrangements became unsustainable, as incumbent politicians were unable to provide solutions to economic hardship. Electorates demanded change, and it had to come from outside the system. Using a comparative approach, the text explains why different kinds of anti-system politics emerge in different countries and how political and economic factors impact the degree of electoral instability that emerges. Finally, it discusses the implications of these changes, arguing that the only way for mainstream political forces to survive is for them to embrace a more activist role for government in protecting societies from economic turbulence.

Proper Consideration

Chapter 1 (‘A Window to Internal and External Change in Banking’) provides a wide-arch view of the themes in the book. It highlights how in spite of being deeply embedded in our culture as an object of everyday life, the interaction with ATMs is largely inconsequential for most people. This chapter also forwards a case to study the ATM to better understand the possibilities for technological change to bring about a cashless economy. Another argument put forward is that the ATM is essential to appreciate the technological and organizational challenges that gave rise to self-service banking. As a result, the case is made that business histories of the late twentieth century will be incomplete without proper consideration to the impact of computer technology on the different aspects of business organizations.

The Way

This book is concerned with the way in which forces of change, from the fields of finance and non-financial corporates, cause participants in the corporate reorganization process to adapt the ways in which they mobilize corporate reorganization law. It argues that scholars, practitioners, judges, and the legislature must all take care to connect their conceptual frameworks to the specific adaptations which emerge from this process of change. It further argues that this need to connect theoretical and policy concepts with practical adaptations has posed particular challenges when US corporate reorganization law has been under examination in the decade since the financial crisis. At the same time, the book suggests that English scholars, practitioners, judges, and the legislature have been more successful, over the course of the past ten years, in choosing concepts to frame their analysis which are sensitive to the ways in which corporate reorganization law is currently used. Nonetheless, it suggests that new problems may be on the horizon for English corporate reorganization lawyers in adapting their conceptual framework in the decades to come.
