“…Moreover, many such documents create difficulties for management activities, including for monitoring the performance of individual indicators, for comparing indicators of different levels. Such a complex system of strategic planning documents confirms the idea that state and municipal planning is characterized by an incredibly complex structure, many conflicting tasks and interests [5].…”

Achievement by states of the Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed by the UN in 2015 requires appropriate governance. The most appropriate method is strategic planning. A large number of strategic planning documents have been adopted in Russian regions. The author notes that the words “plan,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “program” are found in the names of 950 thousand legal acts of the regional and municipal levels. This is about 9% of their total. In this article, the author examines regional legislation for the inclusion of ideas on sustainable development. The author uses methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and system-structural method. The study results confirm that the regulation of sustainable development is reflected primarily in strategic planning documents. The author shows that references to sustainable development in 88% of cases are found in strategic planning documents. Strategic planning documents are adopted following the federal law “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation". However, the article concludes that the approaches to the formation of strategic planning documents are different. The author demonstrates that similar strategic documents are adopted by various bodies and for different periods. For example, only 46 out of 85 regional development strategies have been adopted until 2030; the rest have different implementation dates. The author concludes that the difference in approaches is permissible, and the intersection of strategic measures in various documents of the same level must be timely excluded.

“…In our experience of practicing multimethodology using systems thinking principles, see [50][51][52], one way of facilitating those is to assemble a multi-disciplinarily team. This project has been the product of a multidisciplinary effort: One author is fully conversant on soft approaches and systems thinking practice [51][52][53]; one is expert in education [54]; other one is fairly familiar with applications of systems thinking in sustainability and public policy [55]; other in statistical analysis [56]; and international education formed the rest of the team. On reflection, at end of our exercise, the authors who were not familiar with systems thinking saw the benefits that this can bring and felt that they have acquired a useful tool to tackle complexity in future projects.…”

Latin American universities (LAUs) have been going through a serious lack of economic resources which has plunged them into a deep financial crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this calamity. However, LAUs have implemented online teaching processes in order to mitigate the effects of scheduling and other classroom disruption. There is evidence that these modes of teaching have had a reasonable reception but the level of student satisfaction is yet unknown. This article takes a systemic view of the predicament facing LAUs. It represents the elements related to the disruption caused by COVID-19 in a rich picture, building a systemic framework to explore student satisfaction with remote teaching. Using a sample of 298 students from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, the study analyzes their situation through: (a) Well-being, educational resources, and learning experience and; (b) General satisfaction with virtual classes. Applying exploratory factor analysis, this study identifies three dimensions: (a) satisfaction with support and adaptation in the virtual modality; (b) satisfaction with the interaction in the virtual classroom; and (c) satisfaction with the development of the study program. Medium/high scores for the dimensions indicate moderate/high levels of satisfaction. The findings suggest that there are still unsatisfied needs regarding access to digital resources and socio-emotional needs. This article could be of interest to Higher Education Institutions (HEI) planners dedicated to post-pandemic, virtual education.

This paper examines different forms of leadership in strategic planning in structurally affected regions of Czechia. Based on the leadership concepts and strategic planning in municipalities, evaluates different leadership approaches according to the population size of municipalities and the stability/continuity of municipal representatives. Four types of leaders were identified, with entrepreneurial leadership being the most important in all examined regions. The dependence of the types of leadership on the stability/ continuity of government in strategic planning was revealed, while, the dependence on the population size of municipalities was no. The importance of entrepreneurial leadership increases with the increasing number of electoral cycles elected leaders remain in office.
