CHIEF SECRETARIAL OFFICER AT A UNIVERSITY - MANAGER

Patricija Jankovič
Goran Vukovič

Abstract

The legal and organisational trends of the 21st century have to adapt not only to the economy but also to public administrations and institutes. In the area of higher education we are still situated in a period of transitional change and adaptation. The transitional development strategy that was attempted until now has for the most part meant blindly following the developed countries in the West and taking over their standards in the areas of democracy and legal order. In the aspiration for comparing study programs with European ones, we must not neglect the problem of organization and administration at post-secondary education institutions. The archaic system of managing public administrations and the dominating premise of self-sufficiency have been out-lived and as a result, in spite of being partially financed by the state budget, are destined to collapse. In order to develop a more modern, transparent and marketable method of managing a university, it is necessary to draw attention to the current management of universities and in a way, the disproportionate distribution of jurisdiction and responsibility in managing the university.
