The imperative of changes associated with digital transformation gave impetus to this study, which aims to examine the impact of digital capabilities and digital citizenship on digital transformation, as well as to identify the role of digital citizenship in the relationship between digital capabilities and digital transformation. Digital transformation is observed via change management and risk management, and two facets of digital citizenship are examined: information and data literacy and information security management. A survey was carried out, and respondents were managers employed in companies from various industries in Serbia. Considering the total sample of 224 valid questionnaires the PLS-SEM method was used to test the relationships in the proposed model. Results suggest that digital capabilities have a significant positive impact on change management, information and data literacy, and information security management. Results also confirm that digital citizenship mediates the relationship between digital capabilities and both change management and risk management.

Doing business in the age of information abundance indicates the importance of developing information management skills, enabling the individuals to be more productive but also more flexible to changes. In literature, innovation, as a driver of a firm’s performance, has been highlighted, while problem-solving capabilities are considered one of the key assumptions for the implementation of digital transformation strategy. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of digital citizenship and digital transformation enablers on innovation and problem-solving capabilities. The data collection procedure commenced by selecting a random sample of private companies from various industries A survey was carried out, and a total sample of 247 valid questionnaires were collected. The PLS-SEM method was used to test the relationships in the proposed model. The study found that some elements of digital citizenship are positively associated with digital transformation enablers. The results of the study confirmed that technology-based digital transformation enablers positively contribute to innovation and problem-solving capabilities. Also, technological facets of digital transformation enablers realize a mediating role in the relationship between digital citizenship and innovation, as well as with problem-solving capabilities.

Objective. Until now, there have been no guidelines for the use of drugs in patients with COVID 19 in the Republic of Serbia that have been authorized and published in the professional or scientific literature, or on the official websites of the Ministry of Health or healthcare institutions. The aim of this paper is to present a local guideline for the use of drugs in patients with COVID 19 and the process of its development and adoption. Methods. The guideline proposal was prepared by a working group based on the results of a systematic research of the medical literature, and quality control of found publications from the category "clinical practice guidelines". The proposal of the working group was considered and adopted at the sessions of the Drug / Therapeutics Committee and the Quality Assurance Committee of the University Clinical Centre Kragujevac. Results. The guideline's recommendations are based on the type of patient, and all have the same degree of recommendation and the same quality of evidence on which they are based. Patient types are formed according to the severity of the disease and the need for respiratory support, as well as according to the risk of secondary bacterial infection. Conclusion. The local guideline to the use of drugs in patients with COVID 19 was developed and adopted in a short period of time, primarily due to the need for its urgent use. A revision of this guide is planned after 6 months from the moment of adoption.

The aim of the research presented in this study was testing the correlation of knowledge and innovation culture and non-financial performance indicators (NFPIs), the predictive role of independent variables knowledge and innovation culture in NFPIs and differences between dependent and independent variables between micro, small and medium size companies. The study included 124 Serbian MSMEs, that voluntarily responded to 40 questions, presenting the research instrument. Statistical data analysis showed that a significant correlation exists between dependent and independent variables, that knowledge and innovation culture predict NFPIs with 33.4% and that there are differences in innovation culture and NFPIs, but not knowledge culture between companies grouped according to size. The conclusion of the study is that innovation and knowledge culture are of high importance for MSMEs, due to their predictive role in NFPIs, which are most often used, according to literature findings, for the assessment of their long-term success and sustainability. This study also revealed that the highest level of innovation culture and NFPIs is in micro companies in Serbia.
