Research goals: The fundamental purpose of the research work has
been extended toseveral segments. 1. In its widest and most general
meaning the purpose has been evident on the one hand in contributions to
the knowledge deepening about the logical regularity and law fulness
which govern the work of all the activities and the among them the public
services, too, and on the other hand in a model elaboration of
complementary and harmonious functioning of the economic and non-economic
sphere of the society, which may have a certain applicative value, too. 2.
In its narower sense it is expected from the research work to study a
certain related number of problems as regards ownership, market,
extramarket, personnel, organizational and institutional relations in the
public services, and all that from the point of view of the transformation
of the so called agreed model ofeconomy into the market one. 3. In its
narrowest sense the purpose of the research work is to establish to which
extentet the market mechanism and the public services bear the
characteristics of the regional development, as well as by which traits
they are outside that scope. Therefore it is necessary to do the analysis
of the achieved degree of the socio-economic development and to define
the future development indications. In the final part of the research work
there will appear results in two basic forms: a) in the form of
formulation of the estimations of logical regularities which are firmly
founded upon the apparent forms of the economic and social life; b) in
the form of the model of greater or smaller finishing off in accordance to
which the functioning of each of the mentioned domains should be directed
to a certain extent. Other information about the project.
