Key Dimensions

Social capital is used in interdisciplinary research as an analytical tool for explaining how culture, trust, and cooperation between people may be put into a function of general good, economic development and society in general. The objective of this paper consists of identification and analysis of status in the field of groups and networks, trust and solidarity, collective action and cooperation, information and communication, social cohesion and inclusion, and empowerment and political action, as key dimensions of social capital, and all in the context of overview of its significance in socio-economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the purpose of implementation of the named aim, a secondary and primary research has been conducted (by surveying 100 members of the top management teams in Bosnian and Herzegovinian SMEs). The research results show a relatively unsatisfactory status in the area of observed dimensions of social capital in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the decision makers and creators of socio-economic policies should put in a more significant effort in the area of development of social capital which has a significant potential in the context of incitement of socio-economic development.

The Difference

The development of regions within one country is an uneven process. States seek to reduce internal inequalities between particular regions through the implementation of appropriate economic policies, as is the case of Poland. The aim of the study is to evaluate the level of socio-economic development of regions in Poland (voivodships) in the years 2013– 2019. For this purpose, a taxonomic analysis based on Hellwig’s development measure was conducted and the Euclidean distance was applied to assess the difference between the obtained pattern and particular voivodships. On the basis of data provided by the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland and through linear ordering, two rankings of voivodships were created: one reflecting their socio-economic development excluding environmental protection aspects and the other focusing solely on the issue of environmental protection. Low values of the coefficient of variation relating to a part of the analysed variables indicated that the development level of voivodships in the analysed period is in many respects very similar. The variables crucial for determining the differences between voivodships show that Mazowieckie Voivodship occupies high positions in both rankings (and is the leader in the ranking of socio-economic development excluding environmental protection aspects), while Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is characterised by a low level of development illustrated by both rankings.

The Law

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are an important factor in the socio-economic development of transitioning and developing countries. Given the importance of ICT in global social and economic development, many researchers have examined its development and growth strategies from national and governmental policy perspectives. However, understanding the consequences of information and communication technologies in developing countries is complex and far from certain. Given the ambiguity, complexity, and diversity of what constitutes ICT, Heeks (2002) suggested the existence of incongruencies between what policy makers envision as ICT and the actuality of what is ultimately manifested, proposing the “design-actuality gap” framework to understand this inconsistency. Baqir et al. (2009) extended the design-actuality gap framework to show that the dimensions of design maybe different than those of the actuality, but did not provide an explanation for this gap. In this paper, the authors posit that the gap can only be explained based on the law of “unintended consequence” (Merton, 1936). This phenomenon can best be seen in developing nations where ICT’s impact on socio-economic development is exaggerated. The authors present the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran and show how the law of unintended consequence can explain the major chasm that exists between ICT development and the actuality of use.

Abstract Bratton & Gold (2000) stated that socio economic development is playing crucial role in managing human resource progression in developed and developing countries. In the contemporary era developed countries such as USA, UK, Australia and many other European countries are using such progression strategies. National Socio-Economic Development Plan is one of the major strategies that involve welfare of unemployment, poverty, infrastructural development and transportation up gradation. Moreover, socio economic development also includes set up of hospitals and educational institutions (Bambangi, 2007). Such development statistics and process are outlined in various newspapers, magazines and periodical articles. These informative papers help the local human resource management in gaining proper insights on working and economic policies. In the current study importance and relation between socio-economic development and the human resources management will be outlined.

The article is devoted to territorial public self-government as a mechanism of public participation in solving local issues and socio-economic development of municipalities. The study reveals a lack of relevant information on the number of organizations of territorial public self-government in the country. This does not allow to take into account their potential during planning the development of territories. The author analyzed the activities of organizations of territorial public self-government in the Vologda region, summarized the practice of initiative budgeting in Vologda and Cherepovets. The researcher attempted to explain the influence of organizations of territorial public self-government on socio-economic processes and the creation of social capital. In this connection, a list of indicators for assessing activities of organizations of territorial public self-government has been proposed. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of work with organizations of territorial public self-government in the region including through the creation of a coordination structure, resource centers and a pool of consultants. There is a need for further research on this topic.

Regional Product

The functional theoretical model of the socio-economic development of regions is constructed by the method of statistical equations of dependences, for substantiating objectives, plans and standards. The nomenclature of factors with impact on the formation of gross regional product is proposed, the share of impact of each factor is determined. In the new economic conditions, the concept of planning is determined from the perspective of outlining the ways to achieve its effectiveness. The process of planning needs to consist of formulating overall strategic intentions on determining specific and detailed actions aimed at generating income and spending over a certain period (a year or five years), outlining the ways and means for the achievement of goals. An important component in this process is control over the achievement of the goal by comparing reported and planned data, identifying and evaluating factors with either positive or negative impact on the economic performance. Solutions to the issues of planning and forecasting of phenomena and processes, structural change in the economy or stability of the economic system are a matter of vital importance for scientific communities, practical economists and power officials. This is a reason behind great attention drawn to constructing of economic development models, designed to analyze allocation of production resources and distribution of the national product for social purposes, which constitutes the main function of the state policy Basically, economic and statistical modeling can be made by use of the following models: model of economic systems; model of production process; model of demand and consumption of goods and services; model of prices and income; model of financial flows; model of national economy; model of socio-economic development. When modeling the socio-economic development at country or regional level, constructing and evaluating social and economic policies at either level, statistical methods need to be used, expert methods and methods of neural-fuzzy modeling in particular. Use of the method of statistical equations of dependences allows for supplementing the given nomenclature of forms for economic and statistical modeling by the following types of modeling: substantiating the objectives, plans or standards of the development of economic phenomena through constructing of functional theoretical models; predicting change in the factors when determining the level of socio-economic phenomena in a future period. Understanding the essence of an economic model is greatly important for generating information about the socio-economic development.
