The purpose of this paper is to examine critically private (for profit), public and not‐for‐profit sector management strategies with a focus to assess and enhance organizational capacity building through cross‐sector collaboration. This topic is considered from both a contemporary and an evolutionary perspective.

This paper is based on research from secondary sources.

This paper identifies barriers to collaboration and measures for effectively creating organizational change to build cross‐sector capacity.

While considerable literature exists on organizational change, none includes the need for cross‐sector collaboration to increase management capability to move beyond current economic, social and market development capacity. This study addresses this gap.

The adoption of management practices to understand values across sectors will improve effectiveness of organizations across sectors. These recommendations will also facilitate economic development reform efforts of policy makers.

The paper, based on original research, makes a significant contribution to the ability to understand managing in a cross‐sector collaborative manner.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how, as a multiple‐stakeholder partnership, public‐private community partnerships emerge as a holistic solution to address issues of water management.

A pilot study was conducted to gain insight into the dimensions pertinent to implementing a public‐private community partnership water project in Rajasthan, India.

Public‐private community partnerships are effective in ensuring the availability and management of water at the grassroots level. The approach introduces isodynamics, incorporating sustainability, technology, innovation and accountability.

Limited literature is available concerning water resource management incorporating a public‐private community partnership, making future research a must for further insights into this method of solving water issues.

The model proposed provides a framework that takes a broad view of public‐private community partnerships for wider replication in accord with local conditions to ensure water security for various stakeholders.

The model proposed is based on research that should be explored further to address the issue of water management holistically.

The purpose of this organization research project was to focus on finding effective methods for the stakeholder group of private firms in the apparel and textile industry in Sri Lanka to work together as partners with government and academic institution stakeholder groups to raise the level of human resource development in education, training and technology innovation resources in the apparel and textile industry.

Organization development, action research and training methods were used to help the various groups examine their needs and issues, and the consultant's gap analysis was used to identify any dysfunctional barriers along three levels of realm, scale, and transform that formed a wicked problem situation that kept the stakeholder groups from organizing themselves to work together on the common cause.

The three stakeholder groups were able to make use of a variation of the public private partnership model in developing a virtual college of apparel and textiles.

The three stakeholder groups were able to use formal and creative informal forms of a partnership of partnerships approach by cross sharing of board members. Sri Lanka's apparel and textile industry was able to successfully upgrade its human resource development efforts to retain its strong position in the following years of global market change.

Using organization development's wicked problem resolution methods can be useful in any country that needs to bring large diverse groups of public and private organizations together to work on common interests while assuring that their differing missions can be pursued effectively.

Serbian communal services sector reform is of vital significance for reform of the entire public sector. Toward such reform, 2010 saw two drafts of the Law on Communal Services that include creation of a Republic Directorate with the goal of promoting and developing communal services. The author aims to analyze the solutions from the draft regarding the status of this Directorate and its powers essential for effective operation.

This paper analyzes the draft of the Law on Communal Services, as well as the comments provided by management of utility companies and wider professional public concerning drafts of the law. The paper also analyzes other legal acts connected to communal services, such as the current Law on Communal Services, Law on Public Enterprises and Services of Common Interest, Law on Companies and Law on Public Property.

This paper points out consequences resulting from extensive but inefficient power of the Republic Directorate for Communal Services, concerned primarily with prices of communal services and entrusting communal services to such a position.

No literature exists concerning the Serbian Republic Directorate for Communal Services. The author was limited in research sources so the result of the paper is prediction of possible outcomes of establishing the Republic Directorate for Communal Services in the Republic of Serbia.

If while drafting a new Law on Communal Services the view is accepted that directorates have authority, it achieves the purpose for which it was established, economic regulation.

The author in this paper provides insight into some directions in which communal sector reform goes. Given the fact that the draft of the Law on Communal Services foresees the establishment of the Republic Directorate for Communal Services as an entirely new regulatory body, this article focuses on the problems that this body might face in the process of fulfilling its major objectives, predominantly in the economic sphere.

Analyzing the memorandum of cooperation conducted between Coca‐Cola HBC Serbia AD Zemun and the Faculty of Organizational Sciences (FOS), University of Belgrade, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate which multinational companies invest in education. The importance of cooperation is emphasized, since cooperation has indirect effects on corporate social responsibility and the external positioning of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences and Coca‐Cola, promoting direct cooperation between institutions and education.

The analyses are based primarily on analysis of a memorandum of cooperation signed between Coca‐Cola Hellenic and the FOS in the presence of Serbian government representatives. Other Serbian legislative acts are discussed that allow the operation of multinational companies in Serbia, providing cooperation process transparency related to higher education.

This article points out which forms of cooperation exist between Coca‐Cola and educational institutions in Serbia, the effects of such cooperation, and the benefits to local staff development, especially community development.

The article is based on a special memorandum on cooperation that enables familiarity development with concrete investments by multinational companies in education in Serbia. Positive outcomes of such an investment are discussed.

In a 2011 law, Serbia included the private sector in enforcement procedures implemented by private bailiffs in addition to those appointed by the court. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether this situation is a form of public‐private partnership. Analyzing the causes of court enforcement crises, this paper establishes whether this step was necessary.

In the development of this paper, normative, sociological, dogmatic and axiological methodologies have been used.

The introduction of private bailiffs into civil enforcement is a unique public‐private partnership, necessary and justified since it removes all causes of crises in the Serbian system of enforcement.

It is more likely that Serbian citizens will entrust enforcement to private bailiffs.

This paper contributes to understanding private bailiffs' roles in Serbian society and builds a positive attitude toward this public‐private partnership.

In this paper, public‐private partnership is examined from a new viewpoint and expands cases where the private sector is included from court sanctions. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the institution of private bailiffs, explains its role in the settlement of Serbian enforcement crises and suggests connections between the institution and strengthening the economy.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the conditions and manner in which communal services are performed in Serbia. All public utility companies face significant issues such as unclear ownership, politicized management, insufficient funds for investment, and dominant market positions. These issues are cited as reasons why they are ineffective, chronically illiquid, insufficiently modernized, and unable to offer citizens satisfactory service quality.

The article is based on an analysis of current legislation, especially the Law on Communal Services and the Law on Public Enterprises, and on laws regulating the communal sector. Since this area is in transformation, proposals for new laws are discussed with strategies for restructuring public utility companies and with suggestions from experts on drafts of legislative solutions.

The article points out major issues related to inefficiency of public utility companies, and the reasons why citizens are provided with low‐quality services.

There is a dearth of literature, especially critical literature, on this topic in Serbia. This paper fills this gap partially.

This paper has direct implications for improving performance of communal services in Serbia. Combining all other observations and suggestions, it should intrigue creators of new legislative solutions in this area.

This paper is based on a survey of existing legislation and legislation under review, representing a significant contribution to understanding the issues faced by the communal sector.

This empirical study aims to consider the stability and connection of implicit leadership theories to authentic leadership using performance feedback as a first step in a larger research agenda.

Scenarios were created to operationalize implicit and authentic leadership, manipulate implicit leadership theory between followers and leaders, and discover perceptions of leader effectiveness. The use of scenarios was purposely intended to create anticipatory future research agendas.

Components of authentic leadership may be a part of implicit leadership theory and leadership performance feedback may alter leader and follower implicit leadership theories.

Data collected in this study were from students’ perceptions, and did not infer causality between constructs. This study is also subject to mono‐operation and mono‐method bias.

This research provides an extension of theory in several ways: by looking at the authentic leadership paradigm; and by viewing perceptions of leader authentic effectiveness as a continuous influence on implicit leadership theories.

The purpose of this paper is to examine conditions for and initial results of granting state aid for innovation clusters in the Republic of Serbia.

This paper is based on primary research data and secondary sources of scientific information. Due to interpretation of legal acts, a normative method was adopted.

There is a legal and institutional framework for granting state aid to innovation clusters in the Republic of Serbia. It is important because state aid distorts competition and may reduce economic growth if it is not controlled and moderate. Serbian state aid for innovation clusters is more than moderate so less than 1 per cent of Serbian businesses are joined within innovation clusters.

The legality and effects of granted state aid are not explored. Requests for access to agreements signed with and reports submitted by beneficiaries remained unanswered.

Few studies examine the topics discussed in this paper; legal issues concerning government intervention's effect on the economy are often neglected. This paper explores legal regulations, procedures, and confinements of state aid for innovation clusters as a measure of economic policy.
