“…Within this area of MCDM we decided on a specific method and software solution, ELECTRE MLO developed in Petrovic et al [69]. The method itself has been shown to be easily applicable for cross-country comparative reporting on various topics [70][71][72][73][74][75]. A common idea of the outranking method is to perform pair-wise comparisons and establish binary relations between items (alternatives) being observed.…”

With the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the question of society’s capability to deal with an acute health crisis is, once again, brought to the forefront. In the core is the need to broaden the perspective on the determinants of a country’s ability to cope with the spread of the virus. This paper is about bringing together diverse aspects of readiness and initial reaction to a COVID-19 outbreak. We proposed an integrated evaluation framework which encapsulates six dimensions of readiness and initial reaction. Using a specific multi-level outranking method, we analysed how these dimensions affect the relative positioning of European countries in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. The results revealed that the order of countries based on our six-dimensional assessment framework is significantly reminiscent of the actual positioning of countries in terms of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality in the initial phase of the pandemic. Our findings confirm that only when a country’s readiness is complemented by an appropriate societal reaction we can expect a less severe outcome. Moreover, our study revealed different patterns of performance between former communist Eastern European and Western European countries.

“…In telecommunications, composite indicators (CI) are the common BM metric (Mitrović 2015). Although widely used, in terms of benchmarking CIs have been criticised due to the compensatory effect (Petrović et al 2012a;Stamenković et al 2016), double-counting, and their inability to point to corresponding benchmarks, i.e., relevant practice exemplars. Therefore, researchers have looked for alternative benchmarking solutions.…”

A DEA-based tool for tracking best practice exemplars: The case of telecommunications in EBRD countries

Benchmarking is a strategic management tool that can help to gain competitive advantage, but the question is how to decide the relevant practice exemplars to be used as role models. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a very helpful method for tracking corresponding benchmarks, but the question remains of how to record them when performance is fluctuating and unstable, as is the case in a transition period to an open market. To address this issue a new DEA-based tool is proposed, the Corresponding Benchmark Matrix (CBM), which helps to reveal ?leader? countries and the most suitable benchmarks for less successful countries. The approach is illustrated for telecommunications in 22 European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) countries.

“…Even though the influence of teacher's gender on their FL has not been specifically addressed in previous research, results of the household survey undertaken by Lusardi & Mitchell (2014) demonstrate that, regardless of their age, male respondents achieve better results in personal financial management. Additionally, there is evidence that the level of education of a woman is strongly correlated with the level of FL (Mahdavi & Horton, 2014;Stamenković et al, 2015). Therefore, it can be assumed that teachers in different stages of their career, as well teachers of different gender, may have different knowledge and skills related to FL and hence -variable levels of aptness for the governing position in the school.…”

“…Regarding spatial aspects, studies conducted in Italy (Fornero & Monticone, 2011) and in Romania (Beckmann, 2013) identify significant differences in FL among citizens across regions within the countries. Given the regional variations in educational attainments in Serbia (Stamenković et al, 2015), it could be expected that teachers' FL competences will vary depending on school locations. Bucher-Koenen & Lusardi (2011, p.577) regard this as a process of observational learning, suggesting that "those exposed to financially knowledgeable people become more financially knowledgeable themselves".…”

The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential of primary school teachers for governing roles in schools. The level of teacher’s financial literacy is used as a proxy for their managerial potential – managerial competences. Using the Competence Motivation Theory as framework, the authors postulate that teachers with the higher perceived competence in financial literacy are at the same time intrinsically motivated to achieve mastery in this field. Therefore, the teacher’s perceived competence and type of motivation are combined with a set of individual and contextual determinants, highlighted in the previous research, and the framework for assessing teacher’s potential or aptness for the governing position in the school is proposed. The design of this framework is based on data collected via survey which included 954 primary school teachers from Serbia, and analysed by linear and multinomial regression and cluster analysis. The results demonstrate that teachers can be categorized into four different groups, with variable degree of their potential for the governing roles. Clusters vary according to teachers’ gender, subject they teach, location of the school, level of education and whether they are driven by extrinsicor intrinsic motivators.
