| Abstract [eng] |
Very little attention is paid to the sustainability assessment of public sector organizations in scientific literature. The topics of the sustainability assessment of public sector organizations in Lithuania have not been examined in detail in research, dissertations and monographs. For this reason, the objective of the study is to develop a theoretical model for the sustainability determination of Lithuanian state forest enterprises to aid in determining the distribution of the internal and external sustainability of Lithuanian state forest enterprises across the components of sustainability and in representing the internal, external, and overall levels of organizational sustainability applying the visualization methods of self-organizing neural networks. Section 1 of the dissertation deals with a theoretical justification of the sustainable organizational environment and analyzes the managerial paradigms of managing organizational sustainability. Section 2 of the dissertation comprehensively addresses the models for the determination of the organizational sustainability. Section 3 of the dissertation provides the analysis of the visualization methods of the multidimensional data of the sustainable organizational environment. Section 4 of the dissertation represents the determination and visualization of organizational sustainability. The generation of the indicators of the components of forest enterprise sustainability and the determination of significances as well as the structuring of the indicator value description and the visualization and determination of forest enterprise sustainability are carried out in separate Sections. The accomplished research confirmed that the classic model of sustainable development is insufficient for the description of the sustainability of Lithuanian state forest enterprises. The use of the visualization method for self-organizing neural networks, the unified distance matrix, allows the determination of the sustainability of 40 Lithuanian state forest enterprises and the display of the distribution of the internal, external and overall sustainability of each forest enterprise across the vital, social, antropogenical and economical components of sustainability. |
