| RU | EN | HE | Working definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Общесистемные цели | System-wide goals | יעדים כלל־מערכתיים | Criteria for a desired state of the whole system, defined independently of the commitment network. |
| Согласованность деятельности | Alignment of activity | התאמה בין פעולות | Compatibility of interdependent actions relative to goals and constraints. |
| Координация | Coordination | תיאום | The process of aligning interdependent actions and decisions. |
| Результативность | Effectiveness | מידת השגת היעדים | The extent to which specified goals are actually achieved. |
| Эффективность | Efficiency | יעילות | The relation between outcomes and total costs under specified quality and autonomy constraints. |
| Самостоятельность участников | Participants’ autonomy | עצמאות המשתתפים | Autonomy means a real ability to propose terms, give a reasoned refusal and choose actions within legitimate authority. It does not imply that local interests automatically align with system-wide goals. Conflicts must be addressed, with assessment of pressure, burden distribution and actual freedom of choice. |
