THE IMPACT OF INNOVATION ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Author(s): Emmanuel Obed DADZIE,Ionela-Gabriela Matei / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Innovation is seen as a growth catalyst for productivity, market competitiveness, quality of products and services and business efficiency. Innovation can be measured at various levels including organizational and political levels. Research and development is a vital field that has consistently attracted global interest. Research and development is closely linked to innovation since they both trend on the same path, such as, developing new products/services or finding solutions to improve/ update old ones. In this research, we analyze the extent to which innovation (in a global context) affects research and development (R&D). Partial least squares - structural equation models (PLS-SEM) are used in our analysis. We also analyze the relationship between innovation and R&D. We anticipate that innovation has a positive impact on R&D. Also, we anticipate a positive relationship between innovation and R&D.

CONSIDERAŢII ASUPRA MODULUI DE ORGANIZARE A STRUCTURILOR DE AUDIT PUBLIC INTERN ÎN INSTITUŢIILE DE ÎNVĂŢĂMÂNT PREUNIVERSITAR

Author(s): Monica Giurgea (căs. Gherghe) / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

In the decision-making process that takes place in any organization, managers base their decisions on the knowledge and information they possess, but also on the advice provided by specialists. One of these specialists is the public auditor. The pre-university education institutions wish to participate and align themselves with the European context through the support provided by European funding programs. Having this goal, they are forced to constantly improve their resource management system. The auditors' duty is to provide for this purpose a response as concrete as possible to the needs of management and to ensure reports that offer a level of confidence as high as possible. The purpose of this analysis is to highlight the current position of the public internal audit function in the public pre-university education system using the content analysis method performed on a number of 20 annual activity reports from different Romanian counties.

Author(s): Cornelia Medeleanu,Irina Manolescu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

In a world of quantifications and rankings, the universities have not escaped by hierarchies. The advantages of universities rankings are evaluation of their current world performance, given that internationalization is an essential feature of academic system, and diagnosis of differences between the universities, by different indicators, to provide support for strategies to consolidate their progress. One of the main functions of these rankings can be ensuring prestige and international visibility in education and research area to attract competitive human and financial resources by universities. Research is one of the areas with high impact in the universities rankings, forcing them to allocate important resources to cover specific indicators. The paper reviews the most important universities rankings and highlights the correlations between the allocation of financial resources (R&D expenditure) for research projects at national level and the positions occupied by universities of different countries in international rankings.

THE DETERRENTS OF THE FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT ATTRACTION IN ROMANIA

Author(s): Sebastian Tocar / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The economic results of developing countries are largely determined by the fulfilment of their potential of attracting foreign capital. Similarly to all post-communist countries, it is also the case of Romania. The Romania’s volume of foreign direct investments per capita is among the lowest in the region, and identifying the factors that have determined these results could provide a more effective strategic orientation of the policies related to the attraction of foreign investments. The author took the Culture specific Investment Attractiveness Index (IAI) as a basis for the identification of the factors that impede the attraction of FDI in Romania. This index was elaborated in a previous study and is based on 20 indicators representing six categories of FDI determinants: economic factors, technology, infrastructure, institutional political factors, the human factor and cultural factors. In the case of this index, considering the impact of cultural factors is very important, because they are often neglected. The analysis of the scores for the elements of this index resulted in the identification of the deterrents that impede the attraction of FDI in Romania, but also of the strengths of Romania in the attraction of foreign capital.

Leisure is important after intense working, being part of a community can fulfill the employees’ safety and security feelings, and through work experience, people become more organized and succeed in more aspects of their lives, developing their professional behavior. Also, studies approve that family supports people, gives them feelings of security, stability, and love. Our research indicates descriptive results about the importance of leisure, of community and family (which are specific variables for work-life balance) for 627 proffesionals, from which 418 are employed. The entire sample is triangulated in: employees from multinational companies, employees from Romanian companies, and young researchers. The results indicate that all these categories of respondents achieved a level of satisfaction higher than 70% for the importance of work. Also, for all proffesionals, in the case of family, an average of over 4 points out of 5 was obtained, corresponding to a satisfaction level of at least 80%. The same situation was observed in the case of leisure time. If the employees from multinationals do not place much emphasis on the importance of the community, those from the Romanian companies are more enrolled into this aspect at work.

RETENȚIA VOLUNTARILOR. O DISCUȚIE PRAGMATICĂ DESPRE CULTIVAREA ANGAJAMENTULUI ORGANIZAȚIONAL

Author(s): Paula-Simona Pădurariu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In an attempt to outline a perspective on performance in volunteering, by detaching from the financial reward, a first step is to identify ways in which the retention of volunteers is achieved effectively. The organizational commitment is a determining factor of their desire to develop activities and relationships, therefore it will be analyzed before studying the results of the volunteers activity. This study, through a literature review, in addition to the detailed definition of terms, draws the following main implications: reducing retention problems through an effective planning system, this result being given by attentive and adequate training of volunteers; creating a psychological contract through the congruence between the expectations of the volunteers and the offer of the organization, through appropriate recruitment techniques, which diminish the subsequent intentions to leave it, along with formulating and promoting clear organizational objectives with which volunteers can identify helping them to develop a form of commitment.

Author(s): Ioana Andreea Bogoslov,Anca Elena Lungu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Performanța digitală a României din ultimii ani nu poate fi contestată, însă comparativ cu celelalte țări membre, poziția acesteia este încă una nefavorabilă. Cu scopul monitorizării progresului digital al Europei ne putem raporta la rezultatele oferite de indicele DESI (Digital Economy and Society Index). Conform constatărilor obținute la sfârșitul anului 2019 prin intermediul acestui instrument de măsurare, România ocupa penultimul loc din clasament. Indicele DESI analizează, pe lângă alți factori, aspecte privind utilizarea și integrarea Social Media în diferite contexte. Într-o lume în care instrumentele de tip Social Media sunt adesea caracterizate ca reprezentând preferința dominantă a societății contemporane, contribuția acestui fenomen la sporirea gradului de digitalizare este evidentă. Având în vedere aspectele menționate anterior, scopul prezentului articol este de a oferi, pe baza statisticilor existente, o imagine de ansamblu cu privire la evoluția utilizării instrumentelor de tip Social Media în România. De asemenea, prin lucrarea realizată se intenționează identificarea unor potențiali factori care pot influența progresul României în ceea ce privește utilizarea și integrarea mediilor de socializare online.

EVOLUȚIA ROMÂNIEI ANTREPRENORIALE – O ANALIZĂ ASUPRA MEDIULUI DE AFACERI

Author(s): Anca Elena Lungu,Ioana Andreea Bogoslov / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Activitatea antreprenorială este inerentă acțiunii umane, iar această afirmație este demonstrată de realitatea pieței. Articolul își propune să identifice situația reală a dimensiunii antreprenoriale și să contureze o imagine de sinteză a acesteia în România, având ca suport atât informațiile furnizate atât de literatura de specialitate, cât și datele statistice disponibile. Numărul mare de start-up-uri și finanțarea guvernamentală, realizată sub egida diferitor programe naționale, conduc (aparent) la concluzia că spațiul românesc este unul propice activității antreprenoriale. Informațiile furnizate de World Bank prin intermediul Rapoartelor Doing Business contribuie la conturarea unei poziții cu privire la evoluția activității antreprenoriale românești din ultimii ani. Scopul cercetării noastre îl reprezintă găsirea unui răspuns la întrebarea: este sau nu România o țară antreprenorială? Din perspectivă metodologică, prezentul demers de cercetare utilizează atât analiză calitativă, cât și analiză cantitativă în scopul realizării unui portret clar al României antreprenoriale.

Dźwięki Starego Polesia – pejzaż dźwiękowy jako narracja przemian w przestrzeni miejskiej Łodzi

Author(s): Justyna Anders-Morawska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This chapter descends from the concept of urban auscultation described by Shannon Mattern. She draws attention to the diagnostic value of the city’s soundscape in investigating the changes taking place in the urban tissue – both physical, socio-cultural, economic and symbolic. The case study of the soundscape of Stare Polesie district is a result of a research carried out using the participatory observation method within art based research and autoethnographic orientation. During three artistic residencies in the Stare Polesie district, which represents spatial changes taking place in recent decades in Lodz, the artists tried to construct narratives and sound impressions of the identity of this territory. The collected data show the multifaceted nature of the spatial transformations of the district, provide knowledge on how the space is used, and tell the narratives by residents and city activists. Demolition of tenement houses, setting up green areas, changes in the economic activity of residents, changes in traffic organization, but also the relative stability of the architecture of the quarters – these factors shape the audiosphere of the district. Research on the soundscape of cities allows for dynamic tracking of changes in space and early signaling of potential threats to the needs of the local community. The presented results show the possible benefits of treating the audiosphere as an important component in diagnosing the condition and planning urban space.

САМОСТОЈНИТЕ ОРГАНИ (РЕГУЛАТОРНИ ТЕЛА, АГЕНЦИИ) ВО ФУНКЦИЈА НА ДОБРОТО УПРАВУВАЊЕ ИЛИ НЕГОВО РАЗВОДНУВАЊЕ И БИРОКРАТИЗИРАЊЕ

Author(s): Borče Davitkovski / Language(s): Macedonian Publication Year: 0

Во Република Македонија од 2000 година до денес, 2018 година, се основани околу 50 самостојни органи. Кога зборуваме за самостојните органи, во оваа група ги вбројуваме трите вида самостојни органи, а тоа се самостојните органи на државната управа, независните органи и регулаторните тела. Овие органи претставуваат хетерогена појава, на кои со посебни закони што се носат со обично мнозинство им се врши пренос на овластувања и одговорности од соодветната област. Овие органи се структурално издвоени и автономни од органите-носители на законодавната, судската и извршната власт, па оттука како предмет на истражување во овој труд е да се утврди нивната положба во системот на поделба на власта, кое е разграничувањето помеѓу овие органи и утврдувањето на причините за нивниот постојан пораст кој влијае за хиперпродукција на јавните органи. Имено, дали самостојните органи се реална потреба или мода во Република Македонија? Дали постојат конкретни утврдени правила и критериуми врз основа на кои се одлучува кога и на кој начин ќе се основа еден орган, каква е финансиската реперкусија со нивното основање и дали над овие органи може да се спроведе контрола над ефективноста во нивното работење? При тоа, како основна цел на истражувањето е да се укаже на потребата од донесување посебен закон со кој ќе се уредат основните стандарди и принципи за работењето на независните органи како и за утврдување критериуми што треба да се исполнат за да може да се основа независен орган. Едноставно, постои потреба од унифицирани критериуми, посебно во однос на статусот на вработените, одговорноста, платите и сл. Ова, од друга страна, укажува дека е потребна нивна рационализација на која би ѝ претходеле детаљна функционална и институционална анализа. Односно потребно е да се утврди економската и финансиската целисходност на основање на регулаторните тела и да не се создава преклопување на надлежностите помеѓу повеќе органи.

A PROJECTION OF THE COGNITIVE WARFARE IN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

Author(s): Alexandru KIS / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper explores the concept of cognitive warfare within the framework of hybrid warfare. Hybrid warfare, which combines conventional and unconventional instruments of power, has gained attention due to the rise of non-state actors and new technologies; cognitive warfare is a critical component of it, focusing on shaping public opinion, sowing disinformation, and creating chaos. It weaponizes public opinion to influence policies and destabilize institutions. The paper discusses how cognitive warfare takes advantage of media platforms, social media, and search engines to manipulate perceptions and emotions, emphasizing the vulnerability of modern society to cognitive attacks due to reliance on technology. The paper also explores NATO's response to cognitive warfare and its efforts to develop a conceptual framework and mitigation measures. It highlights the role of Human Intelligence(HUMINT) in dealing with various sources of information and the relevance of the cognitive dimension in HUMINT operations, at the level of HUMINT professionals. The NATO HUMINT COE's role in addressing cognitive competencies in HUMINT training is highlighted, as a best practice in promoting awareness and resilience
