At present, sometimes there is a need to use the main methodological tools of management science that form the vision and support the choice of management approaches to research, construction and reform of objects in various fields of activity in social and economic environments. The scientific literature of management theory and empirical research allowed us to choose the main approaches that are most productively used in economic systems of the «organization» type. Model representations of system, process, functional, and situational approaches to the formation of structures, relationships and content of objects in social and economic environments are developed.

There is a need to present the results of a search study in the field of management science ontology to highlight its practical attributes. The study of domestic and foreign developments in the field of management of economic systems, management based on system, process and functional approaches allowed us to identify, form and describe the attributes of management practice. At the same time, materials on the structuring, classification and use of management activities from various points of view were used. Based on these generalizations, the interaction of attributes of the management practice of processes and objects in social and economic environments was established. The structure and content of the practice section of management ontology are presented and its relationship with other sections of management science is shown. This research is valuable for research, educational, social and educational activities of processes and objects of economic systems of various types and forms of ownership.

There is a need to research and determine the composition and content of tools that form and ensure the implementation of professional management tasks. Scientific literature and empirical research have allowed us to choose as such tools methods of performing procedures, methods of managerial decision-making and management elements. The use of these tools for the design of technologies for solving professional management tasks will improve the quality and efficiency of the studied, designed and operated processes and their parts in organizations.

There is an urgent need to determine the attributes and their relationships that determine the composition and content of technologies within the framework of management science. Control technologies are currently actively used at all levels of processes and objects in social and economic environments. Scientific literature and empirical research carried out by the authors in recent years have made it possible to consider the composition and interaction of technological processes in the field of management. A study of various attributes of management technologies and their interaction with other attributes of science and management practice has been carried out. The work presents the ontology of management science, which supports the research conducted by the authors and is focused on establishing the composition and content of all attributes of management science and the boundaries of their interaction in social and economic environments.

At present, methodological approaches are actively used in various fields of activity, each of which has its own advantages. Scientific literature of management theory and empirical studies have allowed to choose the most important attributes of the main approaches to management for use in economic systems such as «organization». The description, justification and characteristics of process parameters and functional tasks of organizations management are presented. Systematization and typology of management activities on the basis of systematic, process and functional approaches will improve the quality and efficiency of the structures of management systems of organizations of any size and purpose.

Abstract Background Despite the increasing use of osteopathy, a manipulative complementary and alternative medicine therapy, in the general population, its efficacy continues to be debated. In this era of evidence-based practice, no studies have previously reviewed the scientific literature in the field to identify published knowledge, trends and gaps in empirical research. The aims of this bibliometric analysis are to describe characteristics of articles published on the efficacy of osteopathic interventions and to provide an overall portrait of their impacts in the scientific literature. Methods A bibliometric analysis approach was used. Articles were identified with searches using a combination of relevant MeSH terms and indexing keywords about osteopathy and research designs in MEDLINE and CINAHL databases. The following indicators were extracted: country of primary author, year of publication, journals, impact factor of the journal, number of citations, research design, participants’ age group, system/body part addressed, primary outcome, indexing keywords and types of techniques. Results A total of 389 articles met the inclusion criteria. The number of empirical studies doubled every 5 years, with the United States, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom being the most productive countries. Twenty-three articles were cited over 100 times. Articles were published in 103 different indexed journals, but more than half (53.7%) of articles were published in one of three osteopathy-focused readership journals. Randomized control trials (n = 145; 37.3%) and case reports (n = 142; 36.5%) were the most common research designs. A total of 187 (48.1%) studies examined the effects of osteopathic interventions using a combination of techniques that belonged to two or all of the classic fields of osteopathic interventions (musculoskeletal, cranial, and visceral). Conclusion The number of osteopathy empirical studies increased significantly from 1980 to 2014. The productivity appears to be very much in sync with practice development and innovations; however, the articles were mainly published in osteopathic journals targeting a limited, disciplinary-focused readership.

Despite the prevalence of work spouses, scarce empirical research has focused on the communication occurring within these relationships, leaving managers with little understanding as to whether organizations can or should communicate support for employees forming these relationships and how privacy is navigated among work spouses. Building on McBride and Bergen’s conceptualization of the work-spouse relationship, we used Communication Privacy Management theory (CPM) to understand what, if any, privacy rule decision criteria individuals used as they negotiated disclosures within their work-spouse relationships. Analysis of interviews with 41 people in work-spouse relationships suggests that participants recognized both their own core privacy rule decision criteria and when these criteria were similar to or different from the criteria influencing their work spouse’s. Furthermore, work-spouse relationships formed despite organizational efforts to keep them at bay. Theoretically, the findings add to CPM theory, such that they establish the need to examine catalyst criteria as current and previous, as well as argue for the addition of confirming criteria to account for situations in which catalysts reinforce routinized privacy rules. Overall, the findings from this study advance the literature on communication in the work-spouse relationship and CPM theory and highlight the role that workplaces play in fostering these types of relationships.

PurposeThe term “agent-based modelling” (ABM) is a buzzword which is widely used in the scientific literature even though it refers to a variety of methodologies implemented in different disciplinary contexts. The numerous works dealing with ABM require a clarification to better understand the lines of thinking paved by this approach in economics. All modelling tasks are a means and a source of knowledge, and this epistemic function can vary depending on the methodology. this paper is to present four major ways (deductive, abductive, metaphorical and phenomenological) of implementing an agent-based framework to describe economic systems. ABM generates numerous debates in economics and opens the room for epistemological questions about the micro-foundations of macroeconomics; before dealing with this issue, the purpose of this paper is to identify the kind of ABM the author can find in economics.Design/methodology/approachThe profusion of works dealing with ABM requires a clarification to understand better the lines of thinking paved by this approach in economics. This paper offers a conceptual classification outlining the major trends of ABM in economics.FindingsThere are four categories of ABM in economics.Originality/valueThis paper suggests a methodological categorization of ABM works in economics.

This article examines the differences between the two competing in foreign management sectors of scientific and practical activity –records management and information governance – through comparing their definitions, content, and structure. The research is based on the analysis of scientific literature and normative framework, which describe the concept and structure of record management and information governance. The authors explores the factors and stages of the formation of records management and information governance. Special attention is given to the literature review dedicated to information governance, as a developing trend, which is yet lacking the generally accepted definition. The conclusion is made on the absence of fundamental differences between the records management and information governance, which match in their key functions. There is no doubt that the problem of uncontrolled increase in the volume of information is essential for both, foreign and domestic organizations. However, this problem along with attendant problems can be solved by through the traditional scientific-practical discipline of records management; therefore, the formation of a similar discipline seems unreasonable. The conducted research is substantiated by the need to summarize foreign experience in information governance, due to the absence of such works in the domestic management theory, as well as for the development of original approaches towards solution of the problem of expansion of information in the organizations.
