Today, management system standards are an integral part of the overall system of the enterprises control system and one of the effective methods to ensure the contentment of all stakeholders in various areas of activity. The development of management theory has allowed ISO to set up common management practices in form of international standards. Since international management system standards have implications for business practices at all levels and in all industries, research of processes and practice of their development is relevant. It was revealed that the international standardization of management systems occurs in three directions: the standardization of general management systems, their concretization in various industries, and the provisioning of the recommendations for their implementation. Currently, ISO has developed 93 standards for management systems in the field of construction, innovation, energy, food and agriculture, packaging, medicine, information technology, social responsibility, mechanical engineering, safety, environment, transport. At the same time, the need to develop each standard for the management system should be confirmed by a justification in terms of its market significance. Also, to stimulate international cooperation and the practical application of management systems, ISO has developed a structure, common text and terms that should contain management system standards prepared directly by ISO or by various stakeholders at the national or industry level. It is noted that the technical committee-developer of the standard may apply additional specification to ensure that the draft standard being developed does not deviate from its terms of reference and high-level structure. It is concluded that this approach will simplify the process of developing such standards, the procedure for voluntary confirmation of conformity, the introduction of several management system standards and the creation of an integrated management system at the enterprise, which is seen as a way to better manage it.

It is now clear that over use of pesticides and intensive management of orchards can lead to drastic declines in apple pollinator abundance and crop failures. During the period of study a grower’s survey was conducted to know about knowledge of farmers on native insect pollinators, pollinator management practices, their perceptions of the importance and utility of native pollinators, and their attitudes regarding pesticide application. Despite of having significant knowledge of managed pollination, only few farmers (2%) adopted supplementary methods of pollination (renting honey bee colonies, hand pollination etc.). In Pulwama, 60% of farmers had knowledge about native insect pollinators and 40% did not have any idea of native pollinators and in case of Shopian, the figures were fifty-fifty i.e. 50% had knowledge about native insect pollinators and 50% were unaware. During the period of investigation, native insect pollinators were sampled from different apple orchards under different management systems in early spring during apple flowering. A total of 17 species of insect pollinators belonging to 11 families and 3 orders_ Hymenoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera registered their occurrence at all the studied apple orchards of the Kashmir Valley. At all the study sites i.e. apple orchards under different management systems, family Halictidae and Empididae registered their presence as dominant groups. The % family contribution of the former at different orchard types decreased with increase in the intensity of the management system and the % family contribution of the later however, showed a direct relationship with the management system found, i.e. the more intense the system, the more abundant was the group. Other groups in general did not show any greater differences in abundances at different sites studied.

The aim of this article is the analysis of the existing maritime domain management system in Croatia, with a special attention to the port system management compared to maritime domain and port management systems in Italy, Spain and France. The research shows that Croatia does not have the strategy for integrated management of maritime domain. In respect of the size of national territory covered by maritime domain and its importance for the general Croatian economy, especially for tourism, we believe that is undeniable that this issue should be regulated as follows: the newly established Public Institution for Integrated Maritime Domain Management should manage the maritime domain and it should have branches on regional level. Thereby the management system of maritime domain would finally be consistent, managed from one place and under management of experts. At the same time, the strategy would be the base for the reform of the existing MDSA or for the completely new law on maritime domain and seaports.

Many organizations have adopted or are adopting standards and / or specifications of management systems, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO / IEC 27001, ISO 22000, and ISO / IEC 20000, out of necessity or to align with trends. Unfortunately, it often results in a set of independent systems, with different goals and objectives. These fragmented systems are often documented in non-uniform styles, are under the control of different people and are audited separately. Integrated management systems (IMS) allow management to establish directions for the effective and efficient fulfillment of the organization's objectives. From managing employee needs to study the performance of competitors, encouraging good practice, and minimizing risk and maximizing resource utilization, the integrated management system approach can help the organization meet its strategic business objectives. Integration must be planned and implemented in a structured way. Many organizations have adopted the standards of the management system due to external pressures, following customer requests to implement a quality standard or external requirements to introduce an environmental system, and / or occupational health and safety [2]. On the other hand, the integration of management systems has beneficial effects on the whole business. Therefore, the first concern must be to understand the needs of the business, correlated with the mission and vision of the organization. In order to respond to the growing interest in an integrated approach to management systems and organizational risk management, the first step an organization must take is to define the common requirements of management systems. The authors aim in this article to present the advantages brought by IMS by their correct implementation within organizations. A review of the current integrated management systems is carried out and the problems that arise during use are exposed. The research includes a guide of good practices from the start to the end of an IMS implementation. Thus, the use of synergies and the integration of resources allows the creation of an efficient and simplified management system. Processes and procedures are viewed from several angles, in order to identify and optimize the IMS implementation process in order to obtain positive results.

Integration of function-specific management systems in organizations is rapidly becoming a topic of interest for managers and auditors alike. This is mainly due to the proliferation of management system standards that foster compliance with the stated criteria for quality, environmental, occupational health and safety, social responsibility and other function-specific aspects of performance. While most of the available literature on this topic focuses on the integration of standards, there is comparatively little information available on how to actually build an integrated system internally. This paper hypothesizes that, besides using audits for the implementation of the available procedures, audits can provide an excellent basis for these integration efforts. Therefore the prerequisites, strategies and resources necessary for an effective audit in support of integrated management systems are discussed. The paper also describes how audits are used to improve a combined quality and safety management system in a German nuclear facility.

Nowadays one of the most common organizational eco-innovations in energy companies is introducing environmental management systems (EMS). Nevertheless, the issues of environmental and economic efficiency of EMS remain controversial. The purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of environmental management systems of Russian energy companies certified in accordance with ISO 14001. Since Russian companies do not have EMAS conformance certificates, the issues of the effectiveness of environmental management systems under the European Environmental Management Scheme and eco-audit were not considered in this study. The study is based on the data from annual corporate reports of the largest energy companies of the Russian Federation, which have the organizational and legal form of public joint-stock companies. The selection criteria were: i) the existence of an integrated management system, which is based on a certified environmental management system; ii) the presence in the corporate reports of data on the environmental performance of the company, at least a few years before and after the introduction of EMS, sufficient for statistical analysis using a two depended samples T-test. The study has shown that the application of ISO 14001 can be considered as a condition for the development of eco-innovation, as a well-designed environmental management strategy covers the whole range of issues related to innovative development, modernization and competitiveness. The introduction of EMS is also associated with an increase in the information transparency of the entire production system of the company, which is also a positive point in terms of the development of innovative processes.

An integrated management system encompasses all management and assessment activities. The organizational structure of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) quality management system is able to merge existing and future requirements. In this context the BfS management system encompasses quality management and radiation protection requirements as well as safety management, mining requirements and those of testing and calibration laboratories. Its structure allows the integration of function-specific management systems as well as specific requirements. The quality management system has taken into account the existing structure of documents to improve acceptability for the extended approach. Integrating management systems should enhance managerial and operational effectiveness. Whether or not this goal can or has been achieved is still a lingering question. A well-proven method to assess the effectiveness of any management system is auditing. Audits are designed to determine adequate compliance with applicable standards and guidelines. Moreover, they can and should be instrumental in identifying problem areas and potential improvements, along with corrective and preventive actions.

According to the international requirements of ISO 9001:2015, the conducting of the audit of the quality control system is a key prerequisite for checking the compliance of the system with the international standards requirements and the requirements of the organization's quality management system that applies them. The results of conducted internal audits contain information related to irregularities (noncompliance with the required norms), and recommendations for improvement, all of it aimed towards improving the existing business practices. Simultaneously, the analysis of the position of the Republic of Croatia on international competitiveness charts shows a significant lag in relation to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The analysis of the comparison of the Republic of Croatia with other countries based on the analysis of international competitiveness shows lagging in all segments of competitiveness. Consequently, in line with the recommendations of the European Commission as part of the convergence program of national reforms in the Republic of Croatia, the weakness of the system is also reflected in the (non) efficiency of the public sector that needs to be improved. The work of local and regional self-government units (hereinafter referred to as management) in the Republic of Croatia is supervised by State administration bodies, institutions responsible for conducting business of legal and/or natural persons, assemblies in towns and counties, and within municipalities the municipal council as well as internal audit units and internal auditors if the management has implemented a quality management system according to one of the international standards. The question arises about the possibility of using audits as a form of quality management control as a strategic tool for improving the work of the administration, or more precisely the increasing of the efficiency of the system and raising the level of competitiveness. This paper gives a brief overview of the efficiency of the Croatian public administration presented through international competitiveness charts, an overview of the forms of work management oversight, with special emphasis on monitoring specificities according to the international standard ISO 9001:2015 and the Quality Control and Auditing Guidelines standard methodology and the ISO / IEC 19011: 2012. Professional and scientific literature regarding the experiences and the role of internal auditing in public administration has been consulted. The concluding remarks analyze the possibilities of using internal audits as the basis for improving the quality of the management system.

An integrated management system refers to the application of several different international standards, and it contributes to efficient and effective organizational management. The Quality Standards were first developed at the end of the twentieth century; however, due to social, political and many other reasons, the The International Organization for Standardization has also developed standards related to occupational health and safety, environmental protection, information security, risk management, energy efficiency, etc. Since all of these standards are process-oriented, there is an emerging need to simplify their implementation. Similarly, valid versions of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards identical in structure have been adopted in the last five years, which facilitated their integrated implementation and application. This paper describes a concept of integrated management system through a standardized safety management system. Key words: ISO standards, management, safety, integration
