In the current context of increasingly limited resources and of constantly multiplying and diversifying needs, the issue of performance (in any form of its manifestation) is becoming increasingly important. This desideratum is even more important in the field of public management, because this sector is a large consumer of resources, of any nature (material, financial, human and informational). The main objective of this paper is to perform a bibliometric analysis in the field of performance within the public management, based on the analysis of scientific production, in order to discover significant aspects and trends. The present research analyzes 3309 documents (articles) from the Web of Science database, using two specific analysis software (VOSViewer and CiteSpace). The conducted research identified three clusters, based on the analysis of titles, abstracts and keywords, which take into account the economic aspects of the analyzed field, concrete ways of evaluating performance in the field of public management and particularities of the public sector in general. Finally, the present paper analyzes which are the main papers in the field (based on citation burst), highlighting the trends in this scientific field in the last 20 years. The novelty of this paper is the bibliometric analysis (combined with a "text mining" approach), being the first of its kind in the field of performance for public management.

The current economic situation in the Republic of Serbia and the Government's recommendation to activate all national resources, including science, in the direction of recovery of the economy, imposed a need for scientific and research activities that would, among other things, result in significant economic and organizational effects in the field of agricultural production. In this research, emphasis was put on the methodology and software application for creation of business plan in the field of livestock production, and as a representative example a bullock fattening project was selected. The assessment of the economic effectiveness of the project was done using static and dynamic methods, as well as methods for assessing investments in conditions of uncertainty. The obtained results of the assessment of the effects of the project show justification of the investment, which is through the realization of the project, not only the price of the source of financing was covered, but above it the profit was made.

This article aims to examine how certain economic and social factors influence short- and long-term performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs'performance is defined by using the value added (VA) by SMEs, as a percent of the total VA by enterprises. The study targets European Union (EU) countries selected by the authors following a cluster analysis procedure. In order to obtain short and long-term influences, an analysis that carries out three types of tests is conducted: testing stationarity, testing cointegration and testing causality between the indicators identified as influencing factors and the variable measuring the performance of SMEs. The novelty and originality of this research are defined in terms of addressing the performance of SMEs from a new perspective, using an econometric basis in a macroeconomic view. From an econometric perspective, the results are among the most varied, both in the long and short-term, however they also have a correspondent economic explanation.
