The significant structural changes in the world economy posed by the increasing role of the scientific and technical progress and by the computerizing inevitably lead to the necessity for the theoretical revision of the work force reproduction issue and the importance of the human factor for the economic development. This manifests into the shift of the focus of the subject of the study from the analysis of the available labour force to the problem of its establishment in terms of its quality. The aspect view is towards the fundamental changes in the economic reality related to the increasing globalization and technological achievements, including the information and communication technologies’ sphere, which require an accumulation of intangible elements of public wealth such as increasing the level of education of the population, scientific achievements, general culture and morality, motivation, endeavours, etc. The society’s evolutionary development is accompnanied by an evolution in the person’s status in the society’s economic system. Labour is the most fundamental part of a human’s life, being a realized, targeted and resultative activity by itself, and concepts in this area are most dynamically transformed. The monograph’s structure consists of three chapters. The first one is dedicated to a theoretical analysis of historical, legal, theoretical and methodological aspects of human potential. The second chapter studies the interaction between human potential and the socio-cultural sphere. The third chapter focuses on the analysis and assessment of human potential for an innovative socio-cultural sphere. The study in the monograph is a multi-faceted. The national realities, the experience of developed countries, theoretical analyses and practical needs are the fulcrums used for finding the sought answers. The shift in movement of the research interest from the analysis of separate problems and processes to a theoretical synthesis and from then on to the variable realities of the processes is inevitable in this cognitive and practical context. The search for theoretical summaries is not an aim in itself on behalf of the authors, but an incentive for new empirical research. These are the basic ideas that guide the analysis and the conclusions in the proposed monograph. Not only the achievements, but the lessons learned, which can be drawn from the failures in the processes and the development of human potential, are what is important for both the scientific and practical experience as well. It is pivotal for this experience to be directed more towards rationaliy and humanity in both human activity and in social relations. Well-understood and effectively managed, they should be what take society out of the state of lagging and contradiction with current economic and social needs and even more with the prospects for their development. Human Potential Development for an Innovative Socio-Cultural Sphere pág. 11 CHAPTER ONE Problem Outlining – historical, legal, theoretical and methodological aspects ESSENTIAL HUMAN POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CONSEPTS Chief Assist. Prof. Dr. Petar Parvanov Economic processes in the contemporary society become more and more dynamic and wider in range. The boundaries are steadily being diluted and every human activity leads to economic results and it can be regarded as such. This leads with itself to the fundamental scientific argument whether economics is a separate science or whether it is a part of the comprehensive subject of sociology; whether the subject of the very sociology, under the name “economic”, is a part of the economics or this is a science that studies only a part of human relations 1. In the end, a person is a social creature and every activity that they undertake, including economic ones, is positioned in a particular habit and in the corresponding relations2. According to Milton Freedmand a person is a rational being in their economic activities3. Nevertheless, this should be translated not only onto purely economic activities, but also onto every activity that leads to economic results i.e. onto every human activity as each and every one of them can be regarded as economic as long as its intention can be regarded as economic4. The diversity of approaches in the economic sphere leads to the diversity in the interpretation and understanding of basic economic terms
