Enabling conditions for innovation, learning, sharing of knowledge and critical thinking in the organization
Edvin Mushe

Today’s businesses are generally guided by a traditional model of managing tasks by utilizing solely the experience they have gained in the past. The techniques for collecting data and managing knowledge are obsolete as well decelerating mainly company’s progress and their openness toward innovation and contemporary management knowledge. Consequently, a number of financial issues could have been avoided in the past if companies have capitalized on the information and disposable management knowledge. Issues regarding management skills and knowledge management could be solved with increased focus to key managerial skills within business companies. Implication for managers is that they can achieve superior business performance through efficient and effective management of assets. Thus it is crucial that managers are equipped with the proper skills and knowledge which are inevitable to successfully run and develop their companies in a complex world.

Strategy Managment in SME
prof. d-r Lili Bosevska

The pressure before the daily activities and the urgency of the daily needs and problems, conduct business organizations reactive and aimed at dealing with current problems, rather than proactive action aimed at meeting the customer needs, improve quality of products and services or improving the work process. Exactly because of these reasons, managers should be aware of the need for the existence of a strategic plan and have the desire and intent for development of the strategic development planning. Lack of experience in implementing strategic plans and the inability to recognize the advantages and benefits of their impact on movement and improvement of the organization as a whole - it can be concluded from the observations of experts and consultants who had realized research "Strategic management of business organizations in R. Macedonia ", in which they replicated the experience of working with business organizations in Macedonia. The results of that research are presented in this paper.
