Summary/Abstract: Volume published within the SESYR project Sustainable Education through European Studies for Young Researchers Jean Monnet Module 587359-EPP-1-2017-1-RO-EPPJMO-MODULEThe volume "Sustainability of Doctoral Education in Economics and Business" capitalizes on the ideas and research of doctoral students from the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University in Iasi, the Doctoral School of Economics and Business Administration. The works were presented, through posters or in plenary, in the final conference of the SESYR project, financed by the European Jean Monnet program. The structuring of the volume in four generic parts aims to capitalize on the areas considered by the project's philosophy: project management, entrepreneurship and employability for young researchers. A collection of 24 articles, featuring 35 authors, provides an environment of challenging scientific debate for the economics readership.The focus of the topics in the present articles on the research motivations of doctoral students and postdoctoral students makes this volume represent a publishing debut for some authors, and for others, a consolidation of their vocation. The dissemination of passions in such contexts strengthens collaboration and openness to new investigative topics.The volume is intended for students, researchers and teachers and we propose it as a bibliographic reference for the development of other research and innovation ideas in our thematic area.

- Summary/Abstract:The enormous interest for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can be explained by the wide area of applicability and more efficient results compared to traditional algorithm techniques. The purpose of this paper is to analyze to which extent AI technologies are integrated into higher education systems around the world and to determine the problems and solutions presented by other authors in the field. Design: We performed a systematic review using articles selected by criteria presented in the article body from two largest academic databases - Web of Science and Scopus. A total of 54 papers were selected after applying the inclusion criteria, which were analyzed and classified according to the country of origin, journal, category, algorithm and purpose. Findings: We identified five main categories for AI usage in higher education and discussed the algorithms applied for each of them. We observed the increasing use of Artificial Neural Networks since the Deep Learning revolution started in 2010s and concluded that the field still needs further research and exploration. Originality: Unlike many other systemic reviews, we have managed to discuss the reason for choosing certain algorithms to the detriment of others and give an expert opinion.

- Keywords:innovation; research; development;
- Summary/Abstract: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.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper is treating the subject of internationalisation in the academic space through a literature analysis. We follow the perspective of an internationalisation of doctoral studies, creating a picture of internationalisation components in the European context. Internationalisation of the academic space is an inevitable result of globalisation and knowledge-based economy of 21st century. Consequently, it is necessary to identify the main ways considered by European universities, while they reconsider their international programs and strategies of doctoral preparation to face the new tendencies, the demand in education, as well as the pressure of the labour market. Aspects of the alignment of internal culture with internationalisation objectives will be approached to get more efficient results. The framework helps understanding different internationalisation approaches, and can be useful from both managerial and research perspective.

- Summary/Abstract: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.

- Summary/Abstract: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 study will be focus on principles and practices specific to EU research project management, EU-funded research projects, opportunities regarding EU research projects and the Horizon 2020 program, Project Cycle Management and Project Sustainability and good practices from other countries. The research activity aims to provide support to young researchers, holding a PhD, starting or consolidating a research team, after they have setup an independent research program and that have obtained significant results in their field. The results will also be available to researchers working abroad and who wish to run research projects in research institutions in Romania. As a starting point, two strategies will be analyzed; SNCDI 2020 and Horizon 2020, then the literature will be reviewed to identify reports, articles on trends/evolutions in Romanian research. After conducting a critical and comprehensive literature review and identifying the current state of research, we will carry out a qualitative analysis of main research projects (title, key words, field, researcher affiliation, funded/non funded project, etc.) funded by a Romanian lines of funding that are representative for top researchers. We will take into account the main research topics submitted in competitions launched by UEFISCDI and analyze, namely, the „Research Projects for stimulating the setting-up of young independent research teams - type TE”. The case study will also include the application of questionnaires to PhD advisers, researchers and doctoral students in order to identify their main lines of research and establish that these are in accordance with SNCDI 2020 and Horizon 2020 strategies. The research impact will be of great importance not only for the university and local community but for the entire academic community of Romania. We hope that this research, we will motivate our PhD students to get involved in attracting more financing opportunities.

- Summary/Abstract: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.

- Summary/Abstract:Odată cu creșterea eforturilor pentru o dezvoltare sustenabilă, adică preocuparea pentru conservarea resurselor naturale și a desfășurării de diferite acțiuni cu caracter social, s-a remarcat o schimbare a necesităților de informare ale utilizatorilor de informații contabile, în sensul că aceștia doresc să fie la curent cu toate eforturile depuse de o entitate economică în scopul dezvoltării sustenabile. Pentru a răspunde acestei necesități noi de informare, a apărut conceptul de raportare nefinanciară, respectiv conceptul de raportare integrată. Astfel, pe lângă informațiile financiare clasice, prin intermediul raportării nefinanciare, utilizatorii informațiilor publicate sunt informați asupra activităților efectuate în scopul unei dezvoltări durabile. Problema care apare este aceea că nu există un cadru standardizat pentru raportarea nefinanciară, remarcându-se faptul că informațiile nu sunt comparabile între entități economice diferite și sunt ridicate semne de întrebare asupra calității acestor informații, întrucât fiecare entitate economică adoptă un cadru de raportare diferit sau își dezvoltă ele însele un cadru de raportare. Totodată, se ridică întrebarea dacă activitatea nefinanciară are influență asupra performanței financiare, remarcându-se o influență pozitivă a performanței nefinanciare asupra ratei rentabilității economice. Realizând o analiză comparativă a rapoartelor de sustenabilitate publicate de 8 bănci de pe piața românească, se poate observa lipsa de unitate și de normalizare din domeniul raportării nefinanciare, fiind scoasă în evidență necesitatea unei legislații unitare care să reglementeze întocmirea rapoartelor CSR.

- Summary/Abstract:Our research proposes to evaluate the role of volunteerism as a practice that contributes to the sustainable development of communities, including in the underdeveloped ones. An overview on studies performed on volunteering practices and programs in other countries (USA, Australia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nepal, and Philippines), along with key findings that apply to the European context was made. The premises of the main discussion theme started from The National Strategy regarding Social Inclusion and Reduction of Poverty (2014 – 2020) of the Romanian Government, which talks about the understaffed social services existent at the rural community level. The research focused on the contribution that volunteers from Community Consultative Councils have in the child protection sector and promotion of children’s rights, as preventive strategies for social services, by analysing program reports from a community development program, over a 10 years period. These structures are described in Law 272/ 2004, as having a consultative role nearby the Local Councils and Mayor’s Offices, a non-juridical status, being non-governmental, and implementing social activities at the local level, based on volunteerism. Relevant literature review and a case study on the work done by a Romanian NGO in relation with Community Consultative Councils have been the major elements of the research methodology used. The findings of our case study were consistent with others: the dialogue and partnership with local authorities and social work public services, specialized training and increased awareness on the benefits of volunteerism are the main variables involved and constitute the basis of a functional identification, reporting and referring mechanism for child protection cases. On a longer term, this contributes to the development of sustainable commu

- Keywords:doctoral graduates; trend analysis; knowledge economy; labor market;
- Summary/Abstract:The future of jobs is characterized by insecurity. As jobs become more complex, more individuals will not have adequate education and training as required by the labor market. During the last decades, the labor markets around the world have been subject to a perpetual transition from blue-collar jobs to white-collar jobs. This generated the necessity of more educated and better-trained individuals to face the new technological changes. The key component of this new economy, also called the knowledge economy is a dependence on intellectual capabilities than on physical inputs. This article is a literature review on the employment trends and perspectives of doctoral graduates. The aim of this study is the examination of doctoral employment opportunities. The choice of the topic was given by the insufficient systematization of the specialized literature (lack in the Romanian space, but and in the international research of an approach to such a study). The research methodology consists of statistical indicators regarding the situation of doctoral graduates on the labor market and the qualitative analysis of the results. The results of the literature review were that doctoral graduates are more desirable by employers due to the set of skills that they developed, and therefore have a much lower unemployment rate and higher earnings.

- Summary/Abstract:As an integrated part of management, leadership carries a lot of weight with how changes are put into effect in the organisational culture spectrum. Given the role of leadership in the organization, we can say that it is the main driver of change, which, in its essence, changes the dynamics when it comes to the intrinsic motivation of personnel. This research analyzes the main types of leadership and their dominant features. It also follows the effects generated by the utilization of different types of leadership within the companies. Consequently, we determined that by introducing women who promote the transformational leadership style into the leadership structure, major and rapid changes are generated in the sphere of organisational culture in order to increase the results obtained.

- Keywords:psychological empowerment; structural empowerment; organizational loyalty;
- Summary/Abstract:One of the main issues faced by companies is finding out how to win employee loyalty, because a loyal employee tends to have a greater motivation and implicitly a certain psychological well-being. The aim of the study is to analyze the existing link between employees’ empowerment and organizational loyalty, in the light of empirical evidence in the literature. A qualitative, content-based analysis of 23 articles was made, following an inductive approach - grouping the data through an emerging framework, and then looking for the existing relationships between the concepts under consideration. The results indicate that both psychological and structural empowerment have a positive, statistically significant influence on organizational loyalty. The most important aspects of empowerment are meaning, access to information, organizational support. Psychological empowerment is most often associated with affective employee loyalty, but this positive relationship disappears when the organizational context is unfavorable (conflicts occur).

- Summary/Abstract: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. Finally, the young researchers are between extremities.

- Summary/Abstract: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.

- Summary/Abstract: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.

- Summary/Abstract: 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.
