The problems of economic growth have been increasingly taken into account over the last decades, which brings to the fore the issue of the factors that determine it. The dynamics of contemporary economic development requires detailed knowledge and thorough study of this complex set of elements. Over the years they have highly evolved and changed the concept of generating growth. The beginning, however, was set long ago in the past. This study examines the factors of growth from the point of view of the classical economic theory. The analysis starts with the ideas of W. Petty and the determinants worked out by him – labour and land; it continues with Fr. Quesnay’s views on the power of nature and the crucial role of agriculture; it identifies the main causes of the wealth of nations according to A. Smith with an emphasis on labour productivity; it emphasizes the dynamic changes in the factors according to J. S. Mill; it justifies their triune structure according to J. B. Say and outlines some obstacles to growth according to T. Malthus.

  New Paradigms – Interactionist Perspectives of Human Behaviour in Organisations and Management

  The study analyzes interactionist perspectives, combining different approaches, models, and theories about understanding the multiaspect, multifactor and holistic (comprehensive) nature of human behaviour in organisations and management. It also suggests baseline theses about: substantiation of complex research approaches; intersection of ... The study analyzes interactionist perspectives, combining different approaches, models, and theories about understanding the multiaspect, multifactor and holistic (comprehensive) nature of human behaviour in organisations and management. It also suggests baseline theses about: substantiation of complex research approaches; intersection of paradigmatic lines of different behaviour sciences, concepts, methodologies, and correlations which establish prerequisites for empirical and applied “translation” for acquiring new knowledge, values, and behaviour to encourage human development, strategic and global thinking, human capital and management of talents

This study aims to develop the conceptual and methodological foundations for team control in organizations. It presents a concept of team control, which combines classical and modern achievements of a number of management and mathematical theories. The concept is based on a comprehensive toolkit which includes management and advanced mathematical tools from the theory of fuzzy logic and the theory of fuzzy subsets. The study consists of four parts. Part one clarifies the author’s concept regarding the nature and characteristics of a team. Part two elaborates on the conceptual foundations of the team control process. Part three contains the author’s model of team control in an organization. Part four presents the results of testing the model of team control at Todor Kableshkov University of Transport – Sofia.
