Summary/Abstract: The Doctoral Readings series is an edition of the Department of Public Administration at the University of National and World Economy (UNWE), which was launched in 2014 in parallel with the annual Autumn Academy. It is a forum for the presentation of the scientific research not only of students studying at the Department of Public Administration, but also at other departments of the UNWE, as well as at different universities in the country. The Doctoral Readings 10 "Public Administration in Development: Reloaded" presents papers by doctoral students that trace contemporary highlights of public and private sector management. A special focus is leadership and leaders‘ qualities in public administration. In connection with the constitutional changes adopted in recent months, a forecast of upcoming administrative processes and amendments is made. Another report examines decision-making processes in political parties. Issues arising from digital divide are a topical issue that also implies a realignment of the administration. A transition to private sector management problems is made by analyzing trends in labor market realization. The volume also presents separate analyses of the penetration of volunteering into companies' practices and of impulse buying.

- Summary/Abstract:This article analyzes the decision-making process in the political parties in Bulgaria. The decision-making mechanisms, which are legally enshrined in the statutes of the political parties, are conditionally distinguished from the actual decision-making process, examined through the lens of part of the national representative and national management (operational) bodies of the political parties. Special attention has also been given to the question of internal party democracy as an important factor in the specific decision-making process. In view of the large number of political parties in Bulgaria, the study is limited to an analysis of the decision-making processes in BSP (Bulgarian Socialist Party), DPS (Dvizhenie za prava i svobodi), GERB and PP (Produlzhavame promyanata).

(Opportunities for Corporate Institutionalization of Volunteering)

- Keywords:volunteering; voluntary activity; social responsibility; quality management standards; quality management in public administration
- Summary/Abstract:Volunteering in modern society has developed more and more in the context of the evaluation of its manifestation. The very concept of volunteering tends to emerge from the bosom of quiet and undisclosed goodness and moves to a level where it seeks widespread popularity, both as specific events and their results, as well as the results as a whole. Thus, the good example is multiplied by giving the opportunity to a wider range of people to receive information about the result of the voluntary activity and its effects. This trend is also projected on the ever-deeper inclusion of volunteers as part of the corporate culture. The incorporation of voluntary work into the corporate sphere is an expression of the possibility of its institutionalization. It is expressed in outlining the parameters of volunteering in terms of the attitudes of employees to be included in them, as well as describing the role and meaning that volunteering brings to society, to the organization and its image. At the organizational management level, this is realized by including the topic of volunteering in the components of quality management systems, in particular – in social responsibility. This trend is observed both in the private sector and in public organizations.

- Keywords:digital divide; access; information society; digital literacy
- Summary/Abstract:The current study is focused towards the phenomenon „Digital divide“, as a new form of social divide and inequality in contemporary information (Toffler), networked (Castells), post-industrial (Bell) society. The study has a referential-analytical character insofar as it presents the results of a literature analysis of the main scientific studies of the problem of „digital divide“, looking for the characteristic definitional outlines of the phenomenon, on which to propose a working definitional basis of the concept. Based on the referential analysis, suggestions for indicators of digital divide are derived, analogous to Weber's classical indicators of social division in society – material status, power and authority.

- Keywords:impulse buying; research method
- Summary/Abstract:In modern society, traditional shopping is increasingly being replaced by non-traditional impulsive (unplanned) shopping. For any business to be relevant, it should include in its marketing strategy a study of this type of purchases in order to achieve the desired sales. But here the questions „How to research them“ and „Which method is suitable for the purpose of the entrepreneur“ appear. There is no scientifically established uniform method for their study, and this is the complexity of this type of research. However, on the basis of the methods used by scientists and practitioners in the field, a comparative analysis can be made that will support companies for future research, including in Bulgaria. The future prosperity of businesses is tied to impulse purchases!
