Stores Instead of factories. From Deindustrialization to Modern Trade - Statistical Analysis of Suceava
No full textAbstract The role of industrialization was to turn Romania from a rather agrarian country into a country with an industrial profile. We can say that the communist period was marked by forced industrialization, which had even created an industrial tradition that characterized the centralized economy of the country. The Romanian retail is currently characterized by an accelerated development, which leads to increased competitiveness, crystallization of modern trade forms, consolidation of modern retail networks and, last but not least, the attainment of attractive profit rates. Today, after the period of the communist regime, characterized by strong industrialization, Suceava has become a powerful trade center. Many malls are located in the place of former factories, which have been left behind or moved out of urban centers. Romanians are doing shopping in over 60 malls today. Most of the modern retail spaces, about 75% of the total, are grouped in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Iasi, Constanta, Craiova and Brasov. In a short time, the area of modern retail space per thousand people became the largest in the country. The paper presents and analyses the transition of Suceava, from a commercial dimension perpetuated since the medieval times until the late nineteenth - early twentieth century to an industrial dimension started, timidly, in the early twentieth century and continued into an advanced form after the Second World War, during the communist regime. The paper also presents the return to a commercial dimension, after the communist regime

Through this article, as a main purpose I proposed an analysis of 10 entities in the hotel sector, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, for the period 2013-2018, based on the information in the balance sheet. Thus, by studying the specialized literature, we highlighted the current state of knowledge in the field, then we calculated the indicators global solvency, general liquidity and indebtedness, for the 10 economic entities, to analyze their ability to pay long-term liabilities, short-term liabilities and the risk associated with non-payment of financial commitments on time. The conclusion is that tourism entities are very careful when contracting long-term obligations, as their main source of activity financing. Regarding the degree of indebtedness, the risk associated with the non-payment of the financial commitments on time is low, this avoids the request of external sources of financing, except doing only when major investments occur, implementation of new projects, or other high financial efforts for the entity
