TIME MANAGEMENT AMONG MANAGERS IN THE POLLOG REGION
Abstract
Time, the only non-replaceable resource is quite difficult to manage, although as it has been studied over and over again time management can be of crucial importance for a contemporary business organization. Individuals and managers in particular, must learn how to make the best out of their time and use time management as a tool in gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage. Although, researchers from throughout the world have managed to identify and develop hundreds if not even thousands of different time management approaches and techniques, it can be easily argued that such techniques are unknown when it comes to business in the Republic of Macedonia in general and the Pollog region in particular. But, the lack of a scientific approach does not necessarily mean a lack of dedication to a better usage of time by employees and managers alike. The paper strives to present the results of a rather extensive field research on time management implemented by the authors in over fifty business entities in the region.
