Sociological study regarding Romanian manager’s motivation
No full textThe article presents the results of a qualitative research (conducted in 2008) on the Romanian manager’s identity (insisting only on the motivational aspects). 45 managers were interviewed and the data obtained were analysed and interpreted qualitatively (using grounded theory procedures). The motivational factors identified were then tested by means of a pilot study (a questionnaire applied on 207 subjects). The methodological aspects of the researches (concerning data collection, analysis, and interpretation) are detailed in the article. Here are some hypotheses resulted from the pilot study: managers unlike non-managers are motivated by difficult tasks, with great responsibilities and by the need for increased power; the performed managers unlike those that are not so performing are motivated by an even more increased need for power and by the strong wish to be promoted

Macroeconometric model for Slovecia
Get PDF Slovenia entered the European Union in 2004 and was the first country of the ten new members to enter the Euro Area in 2007. As Slovenia was part of Communist Yugoslavia until 1991, the economic history of this country to some extent started after that date. This provides difficulties for attempts to discover empirical regularities to be exploited for forecasting and policy analysis. Nevertheless, in this paper, we describe a macroeconometric model for Slovenia, called SLOPOL6. It was estimated using most recent quarterly data and rests on up-to-date econometric methodology, including stationarity and cointegration analysis. The model has already been used successfully for simulations of alternative monetary and fiscal policy measures[1].[1] Paper presented at the Annual International Conference in Economics, Informatics and Communications Field, Spiru Haret University, Campulung Muscel, 21-22 May 2010
The Conscience of a Liberal
Get PDF “The Conscience of a Liberal” is Paul Krugman’s second book translated into Romanian. It is issued by Publica Publishing House, recognized for issuing representative books written by winners of the Nobel Prize for Economy.With this book, Krugman aims at stirring the present progressive movement, just as “The Conscience of a Conservative”, written by the Republican Senator and candidate for the US Presidency, Barry Goldwater, approached the right-wing movement in mid 60s. Krugman’s liberal is not the European liberal militating for a reduced state’s role. He is the opponent of the active conservatism promoted by the Republican Party, during the last three decades
The impact of the economic crisis on the human capital

Paradigms of the e-economy. Opportunities for Romania
Get PDFThe new economy or e-Economy represents the surging of growth generated since the end of the 1991-2000 decade by New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC). Consequently, the shift to the knowledge-based economy has triggered significant structural mutations in the GDP evolution, such as: the prices cutback, changes on the labor market (unemployment rate decrease), the multi-factor productivity strengthening, etc.The most meaningful are the modifications occurred in the international environment and in the mix politics in the United States of America. Strangely enough, the shift to NTIC finds our country in a quite advantageous position, in the sense that the generalized crisis may be overcome by investing in NTIC; the resources are at hand, except for the capital for the non-involvement of the national economy into large industries that feature new technologies, but rather morally worn out.
Positive evolution in economic forecasting. Case study: the evolution of a company’s capital
Get PDFFor the economic sciences, mainly for the planning and organization disciplines, the models display a range of varieties. For the last decades, though, the mathematics-based models seem to be the trend, partly because of their ability to rigorously concentrate the essentials and also to be programmed via the computer-based techniques, thus creating together an unheard of instrument of scientific investigation, a resourceful ‚extension’ of human intelligence.The article herein presents certain medium-term prognosis, via the dynamic modelling, elements of bifurcation theory and the Xpp software. The case study has been the object of a research contract with the business environment.
Book reviews: Nouriel Roubini, Stephen Mihm, Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance
No full textMany years ago, professor Nouriel Roubini got the Dr. Doom nickname. He was one of the few economists warning that the entire world economy was on the verge of a major recession, unseen since the Great Depression. As immediate cause, he identified the speculations spreading in the United States that finally led to the bankruptcy of the investment banks. In 2007, his predictions came true. Suddenly, Roubini’s voice started to be heard
Specifics of the marketing audit in the financial-banking sector
Get PDFBroadly speaking, the literature on the marketing audit and marketing of services has developed on a separate track. The prerequisite for a particular framework in developing the marketing audit of services is that it does not take sufficient account on the services features, even if the marketing audit is similar with the one in services, too. This thing does not allow the company of services to benefit from the advantages of the audit marketing.
