    Social Innovation (SI) refers to new products, processes and methods that, in a creative and sustainable way, offer a better solution to social demands; which often requires changes in the practices of existing social systems. Digital Social Innovation (DSI) is ICT-based SI that uses digital technologies to invoke such changes. This chapter presents an insight into DSI in the Republic of Macedonia, and reports the results of a survey to show the level of understanding, awareness, and knowledge of DSI in the country. Although the idea of DSI is to bypass the governments, motivate people to self-organize, and solve their societal problems; results suggest that without a good strategy, enough funding, and suitable societal governance, it is difficult to tackle the challenges of raising the awareness of an individual or a community that it is they themselves who are the change-enablers as members of a social network.

    One of the allocation methods of scarce resources, especially in the public sector, is based on majority rule. Modern societies use majority rule to elect representative governments that make some of the biggest decisions. Voting is a main vehicle of majority rule. There are four main factors that influence and are affected by voting – technology, law, politics and society. This paper provides an insight into the relationship of the voting technology and the level of development of democracy in a given state. Voting technologies developed from ostracon in ancient Greece, to Australian paper ballot, to telephone, fax, various forms of electronic voting, internet voting, mobile voting, blockchain and AI supported voting. E-voting could be considered as a form of display of the level of development of democracy in a given state. From ostracon to e-voting the main question is the same: how to have good life in a good state with good laws. From the answers offered by the Pythagoreans and Plato to today advocates of modern governance it has always been about how to organise a state so that we can live together the best way we can.

    The effects of flexible work in the IT industry

    Flexible work can come in a variety of types, such as fully flexible strategy where employees are fully flexible in carrying out their tasks from any location in the world to strategies that allow workers to work flexibly over several days, weeks or months at a time. There are many types of flexible work strategies for companies, and the most common are hiring digital nomads, freelancers, using co-working space crowds and so on. This paper tries to compare and analyze the findings of Stack Overflow research from 2017 with the survey conducted as a part of this research, in Macedonia in 2019 regarding flexible work arrangements in the IT industry. The comparative analysis will represent the workers’ perspective. In the second part of the paper we will consider several obstacles and traps of flexible work arrangements from the companies’ perspectives, and offer principles to overcome them.
