Abstract
The governance of any organisation comprises a system of rules, practises, and procedures that guide and control the organisation. The case study examines the processes, procedures, activities, and problems of decision-making at the level of Slovenian ministries in terms of compliance with strategic documents, action plans, programmes, and other ministerial documents. The research focussed on the administrative/implementation level, where planning, control, impact assessment and timely reaction to deviations are of particular importance. The aim was to analyse the coordination between ministries, departments and public institutions. The results show that there is no system and that the documents on which the institutions work are inadequate.
