This paper investigates the General urban plan (GUP), as a traditional planning instrument that can respond to the challenges of the contemporary social context. Given that in 2019 a decision was made to develop a new GUP of Belgrade, which should offer a strategic spatial and urban solution based on the principles of social, economic, environmental and cultural sustainability to be developed in the coming decades, the question is what is and what should be the GUP and what should it look like, but perhaps most importantly - what can be included in the GUP be today? The role and scope of the General urban plan are explored from two aspects. In the first, the role of the GUP is analyzed within the institutional framework - the Law on planning and construction and the Law on the planning system of the RS, which was adopted in 2018, as well as their connection, interaction and the possibilities that arise from it. In the second step, the scope of the GUP is explored through an assessment of contemporary planning practice in Belgrade, with the General plan of Belgrade 2021 adopted in 2003 as its cornerstone, and then analyzing the changes in planning that occurred through its further implementation and detailed elaboration. While the strategic role of the GUP is increasing with the possibility of connecting both planning systems, in practice its importance and scope are continuously weakening, leaving the planned growth and development of Belgrade to the economic interests related to individual locations.

This chapter describes the role of the directors. The duties of the directors are owed to the company and while the shareholders are the primary indirect beneficiaries of those duties, the law integrates the interests of creditors and also of wider society. The law is primarily focused on ensuring compliance with the Companies Act and the constitution rather than with the enhancement of economic interests. The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 serves as a mechanism through which the public interest is integrated into company law, while the UK Corporate Governance Code adds a further procedural dimension to the operation of the board of directors. The chapter then looks at how the idea of designing remuneration in a way that guides the directors to act either for the benefit of the shareholder or for the benefit of the company is flawed and has served as a motor justifying increasing rewards without bringing about commensurate increases in performance. It also analyses the duties of the directors to keep accounting records and to produce financial reports.

Abstract This analysis explores new developments in judicial review of planning policy interpretation. It shows how the nature of policy, often contextual and judgment-dependent, has led the UK Supreme Court to rethink the standard of review applicable to this issue. By considering the recent decision in Samuel Smith as part of a trilogy of cases—including Tesco Stores and Hopkins Homes—this analysis reveals a change in judicial attitudes, away from the expansive judicial supervision upheld in Tesco Stores. Furthermore, this study reflects on how this change is related to two wider ideas. The first is the Court’s understanding of the law and policy divide in the planning field, whilst the second is to do with a pragmatic stance regarding the purpose of the planning system and the institutional role of the courts in it. Finally, this analysis shows how the new approach emphasises the distinctive character of policy in the planning context.

This chapter discusses the strategic role of an enterprise resource planning system within the International Centre of an Australian University. Several problems with use of the system are identified in the case study. These problems with use quality are a likely cause for the mismatch between what was expected of the system in supporting business strategies and the actual outcome. The users demonstrate an awareness of organisational strategies and goals and consider that the newly-implemented system does not sufficiently support execution of strategy and achievement of strategic goals, or formulation of organisational strategy.

The Relevance of the research topic is due to a number of factors: first, at the present stage of development, in the context of increasing competition, companies are in constant search of sustainable and difficult to replicate sources of competitive advantage; secondly, since the second half of the twentieth century, not only in theory but also in practice of management of most organizations recognized the existence of a relationship between the effectiveness of the organization and the effectiveness of its personnel policy (and personnel planning as one of its areas, including). Initially, the purpose of this direction was, first of all, to meet the needs of human resources - the production and economic needs of "employers" in the qualified personnel necessary for the most effective and efficient functioning of the organization, and only then the socio - economic interests of "workers". Today it "extends" practically to all spheres of personnel management. Despite the recognition of marked dependence and the role of personnel planning in enhancing organizational effectiveness, for most organizations it does not become a management norm, and if it is, it is not integrated into the overall business strategy, as opposed to, for example, from production planning, product sales, investments into development and so the Current situation is not just "assumes" and "requires" practical changes in relation to, the formulation and implementation of personnel policies and direction of its improvement.

The General Urban Plan (GUP) is an integral part of local development policy and one of the most controversial development documents in Serbia. Although the Law (Planning and Construction Law, 2014) defines this instrument as a 'strategic development plan', it is not used as such in institutional practice. GUP is drafted merely to fulfill a formal requirement, utilised to satisfy individual interests, and ignored or amended, or followed blindly. Local stakeholders shape the design, implementation, and basic purpose of each GUP, but they are not even nearly equal to each other at any point, meaning they lack the same leverage, interest, or power to affect the drafting or implementation of documents of this magnitude. The GUP is largely left to the vagaries of the complex system of local authorities and its numerous currents and agents. This paper focuses on mayors as formally and potentially the most influential stakeholders in local governance, but with lack of knowledge or interest to change the role of GUP. There is an obvious deficit of agents in Serbia who can institutionalize GUP as a strategic instrument for local development, and serious deficit of actors who recognize the need for change and want to react.

The subject of alignment is not new to the world of education. Today however, it has come to mean different things and to have a heuristic value in education according to research in different areas, not least for neuroscience, and to attention to skills and to the alternation framework.This paper, after looking at the classic references that already attributed an important role to alignment in education processes, looks at the strategic role of alignment in the current context, outlining the shared construction processes and focusing on some of the ways in which this is put into effect.Alignment is part of a participatory, enactive approach that gives a central role to the interaction between teaching and learning, avoiding the limits of behaviourism, which has a greater bias towards teaching, and cognitivism/constructivism, which focus their attention on learning and in any case, on that which separates a teacher preparing the environment and a student working in it.

This article examines the role of women in raising criminal actions of homicide before the central criminal court, in early modern Scotland. In doing so, it highlights the two main forms of standing women held; pursing an action for homicide alone and as part of a wider group of kin and family. The evidence presented therein challenges our current understanding of the role of women in the pursuit of crime and contributes to an under-researched area of Scots criminal legal history, gender and the law.
