The relevance of the research. Decision making is the daily routine of politicians and the public sector institutions. The government is one of the main political institutions that takes important decisions at the state level. Nowadays, the decision-making process is becoming more complex and more difficult to manage. The decision-making process is influenced by the rapid development of information technology and the challenges posed by globalization. In such circumstances, a situation arises when it is necessary to improve the decision-making process of the government, to adapt decision-making models to the needs of the present-day state. The novelty of the research. In the scientific literature the decision-making process of the government has been studied for decades. However, no detailed researches about what the model of public policy decision-making prevails in the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania have been done. Also, no detailed researches what should be the optimal model for government decision making have been done. The research object is the decision-making of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. The research subject is the decision-making models are applied in the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. The aim of the research is to analyze the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania and to make recommendations for its improvement. The objectives of the research are: 1) to carry out the analysis of public policy decision-making process and models and identify the features of the conceptual decision-making process; 2) to analyze the legal environment of the Government's decision-making process in Lithuania; 3) to investigate the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, the decision-making models applied therein and submit proposals for its improvement. The research revealed that rational, mixed scanning and naturalistic decision-making models predominate in the government decision-making process. The analysis of the results of the research revealed that the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania is characterized by the following features of the conceptual decision-making process: transparency, publicity and interdisciplinarity. During the expert interviews, experts highlighted these strengths of the Government's decision-making process: inter-agency cooperation in decision-making, detailed legal assessment of all legislative initiatives, and cooperation platform for strategic issues with stakeholders. Experts identified these weaknesses of the decision-making process of the Government: the long-running decision-making process, the lack of use of evidence-based information in the government's decision-making process, insufficient government cooperation with stakeholders, and insufficient attention to problem analysis. The main directions of improvement of the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania are: 1) more attention should be paid to evidence-based decision-making, 2) more attention should be paid to the involvement of the interested groups in the decision-making process of the Government, 3) more attention should be paid for the analysis of alternatives of decision. The results of the research may be useful for the government, because these results show the strengths and weaknesses of the government's decision-making process. In the first part of the work the definition and significance of the public policy decision-making process, theoretical models of the public policy decision-making process, and the features of the conceptual public policy decision-making model were analyzed. In the second part of the work described the legal environment of the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. In the third part of the work the analysis of the decision-making process of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania was done.

This article sets forth the recoding of organizational decision premises during merger and acquisition processes. A multifunctional analysis was conducted for a Brazilian technology start-up that was acquired by a Brazilian market leader, a serial acquirer. The results suggest that mergers and acquisitions may fundamentally change the preferences organizations have for different function systems such as politics, economy, science, art, or sport. The article outlines the basic design of an innovative systems-theoretical approach⎯the multifunctional analysis⎯which combines key concepts of social systems theory and systemic structural constellations. Thus, the article opens up a new set of key variables for M&A research, particularly post-merger integration (PMI).

The decision-making process in governments is examined and the role of a number of factors which appear to account for the characteristics of this process is discussed. The object of this article is governments of Lithuania acting during 1990-2000. The analysis concentrates in particular on whether decisions tend to be taken collectively, partially collectively or hierarchically and on the extent to which the decision-making model tends to be monocratic, collective, ministerial or bureaucratic. The basic source of information was the interviews with ministers who have served in different cabinets. The unit of analysis was an individual cabinet. A cabinet was defined by three criteria: those of the same prime minister continuously in office, of the same party or parties in government, and of the same legislative period. ; Straipsnyje analizuojami vidiniai veiksniai, turėję ir turintys įtakos priimant sprendimus Lietuvos Respublikos vyriausybėse. Nagrinėjama kabinetinių vyriausybių, kurioms priskiriama ir Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausybė, specifika. Pagal galios pasiskirstymą tarp ministro pirmininko ir ministrų bei tarp ministrų ir biurokratijos apibrėžiami 1990 - 2000 m. dirbusių vyriausybių sprendimo priėmimo modeliai. Kadangi vykdomosios valdžios analizė Lietuvoje yra menkai išplėtota – tik keletas politologų savo darbuose nagrinėjo vykdomosios valdžios institucijų veiklą ir bruožus – šiuo darbu siekta Lietuvos Respublikos vykdomosios valdžios tyrimus praplėsti sprendimų priėmimo analizės dėmeniu.

The forms of decentralization, focusing on the main features and differences of these forms, are analyzed in this article. It is shown that each type of decentralization - political, administrative, fiscal, and market - has different characteristics, policy implications, and conditions for success. There are defined the main goals of decentralization reforms and identified the tools for theirs achievement. Decentralization is considered as a sine qua non not only in the development of local self-government, but with regard to civil society as a whole and the greatest factor of social change. Decentralization can address poverty, gender inequality, environmental concerns, and the improvement of healthcare, education and access to technology. Moreover, decentralization does not only affect government and civil service, but is conditional on the involvement of community organizations, stakeholders in the private sector, international aid organizations and citizens. The measurements of decentralization are analyzed too. Since, the standard measures fail to take into account the different degrees of decentralization and the true decision-making authority of sub-national institutions over revenues and expenditures, there are focusing on the search for more impartial and integrated evaluation indicators. ; Straipsnyje analizuojamos decentralizacijos reformų formos, atkreipiant dėmesį į svarbiausius jų bruožus. Apibrėžiami pagrindiniai reformų tikslai ir instrumentai jiems pasiekti. Nagrinėjamos decentralizacijos vertinimo galimybės, pateikiant vertinimo rodiklius, kuriais remiantis būtų galima atlikti valstybių lyginamąją analizę. Vadovaujantis decentralizacijos reformų tikslais, kurie atitinka decentralizacijos sistemos kriterijus, modeliuojami galimi decentralizacijos reformų rezultatai, išryškinant pagrindinius reformų privalumus ir trūkumus.

The aim of this thesis is to determine how strategical decision making is being made under uncertainty in the organization. After conducting the analysis of literature, the conclusions have been made about the main fields inside organization that are affected the most by uncertainty during decision making process. The main areas of uncertainty were political environment, economical environment, implementation of technologies, consumer behaviour, new products and services, invensment decisions. As it was important to find out companies' leaders point of view towards decision making under uncertainty, an empirical research was conducted. During empirical research, structured questionnaire was given to leaders of Lithuanian companies and 82 answers were gathered. After analyzing the results of research companies leaders opinion and experience towards decision making under uncertainty was understood and the means of dealing with uncertainty identified. Empirical research how shown, that main contexts of uncertainty that makes influence are the same as were indentified during literature analysis. In the third part of this thesis managerial solutions and recommendations about decision making under uncertainty were given and methods of how uncertainty might be reduced were offered. Recommendations were formulated according to main contexts of uncertainty in order to advice how uncertainty might be reduced while making strategical decisions

Dissertation aim of the research to carry out a complex research of the possibilities to improve the state economic policy decisions in response to the challenges of economic crisis and to develop the modelling measures for these decisions, which would be adequate to the modern needs. The paper carries out empirical research of the economic situation and economic policy decisions during crisis in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and other countries, and develops the viable theoretical model, designed for the state economic policy decisions during crisis, by identifying the empirical research methods for verifying the aforementioned model. Quantitative modeling process applied standart deviation, time sequence, least squares, maximum probability optimisation, null hypothesis H0 and multicolinearity, model p value, t statistics, Durbin-Watson statistics, standart deviation, Spearman rank correlation, autocorrelation, coefficient of determination, factor analysis, random walf with drift RWD process, multi-vector autoregression model VAR analysis, root mean square error RMSE analysis and other empirical modeling research methodology. The developed modelling system is compared with the RMSM.X method, developed by the World Bank, the complex quantitative research of dependencies of government budget revenue, deficit and debt of Lithuania is carried out, and the modelling of the main state tax rates is implemented. The paper volume is 193 pages, there are 46 figures, 14 tables, 20 appendices, 2 footnotes in the paper, the paper consists conclusions and recommendations.
