Balanced scorecard (BSC) is the most important and influential management tool in the field of management and performance evaluation in developed countries (Lakshmi Narayanamma et al., 2016). BSC was first introduced by Kaplan & Norton in 1992 and widely used in business sector and education sector around the world as a strategic management system to improve the organization’s performance. Vietnam is a developing country, increasingly deeper and wider integration into the world economy, so the renovation and application of modern management tools are essential. This paper aims not only at proposing an adapted BSC to the public universities in Vietnam, but it also aims at suggesting performance measure indicators (PMIs) in general. The application of BSC is necessary when universities are always concerned about the results of training (but not financial results) to provide top quality education which are skilled graduates for the society.

This paper focuses on the practice of Management Control within public organizations. Also, it provides an overview of the various constraints limiting the success of the implementation of this discipline in this type of organization. It also focuses on the impact of the implementation of a performance management system on these structures. Modernization and performance, two notions which is interdependent with the practice of management control, will also be mentioned in a synthetic way. In order to do this, we first present the concepts of modernization and performance. This was done according to different approaches. After then, it analyzed the performance management tool mostly used by private companies: "the management dashboard". Finally, the last part of this study will be devoted to discussing the relevance of the balanced scorecard developed by Norton and Kaplan. Also, they considered the balance scorecard to be the most appropriate tool in the public domain.

Strategic Planning is one of the management tools most used by institutions that seeks to translate the organization's strategy, define its strategic objectives, identify the main existing bottlenecks and anticipate changes. The indicators are allies of planning and fundamental to the control of processes, because they make it possible to monitor goals, correct problems and propose alternatives for solving possible problems. Therefore, this research consists of verifying the actions outlined in strategic planning in the public sector, using the balanced scorecard tool. For that, a systematic literature review was used as the methodological procedure as the main theme the use of the BSC as a strategic management tool in the public sector. Around 2.003 articles relevant to the proposed theme were identified, selected from 2015-2020, of which 11 deal directly with the use of the BSC. As a result, the survey found the concern that public organizations have been demonstrating in perfecting their strategic plans by adapting the BSC to the reality of the public sector so that they provide better services to society.

The primary goal of the present study is to use cross-national data on labor-force structure to examine the manner in which the international system shapes the character of national development, and the consequences of variation in development strategy for the growth and distribution of national income. A complementary goal is to illustrate the use of residual plots to overcome the “black box” character of cross-national studies, and thereby provide a bridge to case-study research. Multivariate analyses and residual plots provide results congruent with both world-political-economy and developmental perspectives, and indicate that the world economy may be used by lesser developed countries to obtain more rapid and equitable economic growth, although this was not a natural outcome of the world economy in the 1960s and 1970s.

This paper considers the impact that globalization and the knowledge economy have on the protection and promotion of indigenous knowledge. It is asserted that globalization and the knowledge economy have opened up the world and facilitated the flow of information and knowledge. However, the flow of knowledge has been governed by uneven economic and political power between the developed countries and the devel-oping countries. This has a number of ramifications for IK. The dilemma faced is that whichever method is taken to protect IK (IPR regimes, documenting IK etc) exposes IK to some misappropriation. Protecting it through IPR is also fraught with problems. Documenting IK exposes IK to the public domain and makes it that much easier to be misused. However, not protecting IK runs the danger of having it disappear as the custodians holding it die off, or as communities become swamped by the effects of globalization. The conclu-sion therefore is that governments have to take more interest in protecting, promoting and using IK than they have been doing.

The article discusses the relationship between the development of fuel and energy Uzbekistan with GDP growth (gross domestic product). Data are provided on the forecast growth rates of the world economy, the average developed countries and Uzbekistan, factors for ensuring GDP growth in tandem with the efficiency of the use of fuel and energy resources. Based on the cross-country regression analysis, the model of the influence of the energy system performance index (EAPI) on GDP growth is shown.

The world economic position and prospects have worsened further in the last three months. In the United States and Japan, in particular, recessionary conditions are proving to be more marked and more prolonged than we had expected, and it looks as though by the end of the year all the major industrial countries, with the possible exception of France, will have experienced at least one quarter in which output has fallen or at best shown no appreciable rise. The other developed countries have fared better, but we no longer expect there to be any growth of output in the OECD area either in the second half of the year or in the year as a whole. In 1975 the position should be rather better, at least by the second half. We expect OECD countries' aggregate GNP to grow by about 2 per cent year-on-year and nearly 3 per cent between the fourth quarters of 1974 and 1975.

This chapter considers the possible application of academic research to address the dire predicament of balance sheet recession and chronic stagnation characterizing large parts of the world economy since 2007. Contemporary policymakers have striven to stimulate demand despite huge debt overhangs and without undermining confidence in the future value of money or sustainability of the public finances and debt. However, as the analysis in the book has shown, excess public debt is fraught with future inflation risk. It highlights two characteristics underlying the best thinking about inflation: adaptation and remembering. It then addresses the question of how inflation targeting might be usefully applied to the post-2007 problems of recession and stagnation against a background of excessive indebtedness.
