Abstract:
Drug trafficking and consumption are global phenomena strongly influenced
by a multitude of social, economic and cultural factors. The process of globalization,
characterized by the free movement of people, goods and capital and
the development of new information and communication technologies, has led to
new challenges in the spread of the drug use phenomenon worldwide. These
changes of the international economic environment have influenced Romania too
through a warring increase both in the amount of diversified drugs on the market
and the number of the drugs users, especially in Bucharest. As a result, most
specialized medical units and their managers face big difficulties in managing the
phenomenon. The paper approaches the phenomenon from the management perspective
of the medical units specialised in the evaluation and treatment of drug
users. The aims of the research have been to find out the main weaknesses of the
management of medical units and their causes, the main factors and variables
with major influence and to formulate a set of improvement recommendations.
The work is based on a mixed-type research methodology that includes qualitative
and quantitative methods, such as the questionnaire, in-depth semi-structured
interview, causal analysis, factorial analysis, SWOT analysis, and diagnostic
analysis and STEP analysis. The results can be of interest to researchers and
managers of specialized medical units as well as to the managers of other similar
organizations and specialized institutions from the central and local administrative
levels who are directly involved in the policy process regarding the drug phenomenon
in Romania.
