NEOLIBERALIZAM, INSTITUCIONALIZAM ILI INTERVENCIONIZAM: MERE I PRINCIPI POSLE KRIZE COVID-19

Author(s): Miroljub Labus / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Our response to whether the rapid growth of small open economies is feasible in the conditions of this coronary virus pandemic is negative. That should not disappoint us since it is better to fix imbalances than to have unsustainable growth. We study in this paper the implementation of economic policy measures in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim to identify their origin in the doctrines of neoliberalism, institutionalism, and state interventionism. State interventionism with ad hoc solutions and the creation of imbalances was the dominant but not the exclusive basis for conducting economic policy. We expect this policy mix to continue in the post-Covid19 period. At the same time, we point out the similarity of this crisis with the Great Recession of 2009. If we ignore this, there is a significant risk that we will repeat the mistakes of the past, the negative consequences of which were present until this crisis. We are not a priori against state intervention but its transformation into state fundamentalism. To avoid that, we propose its phased mitigation as the crisis evaporates. We do not share the optimism that Serbia and BiH will have high and sustainable growth in the medium term without changing economic policy and eliminating fundamental disturbances in the economy.

ORGANIZIRANO UKLJUČIVANJE U PROIZVODNE I RAZVOJNE LANCE RAZVIJENIH − JEDINI NAČIN BRŽEG RAZVOJA MALIH EKONOMIJA U RAZVOJU

Author(s): Ljubo Jurčić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Global industrial organization and international trade have entered a new era and changed the relative economic position of countries participating in the global market. Global supply or value chains are a key new paradigm within theories of international trade that explains modern vertical specialization of countries within the global organization of production.They provide development opportunities for countries participating in the chain. For a comprehensive understanding of the organization and functioning of the modern global economy and international trade, as well as opportunities for development within it, it is necessary,above all, to understand the functioning and create conditions for effective inclusion of own economy in global value chains (GVCs) as a new paradigm. Systematic, organized and encouraged development of European global value chains, would raise the development and production potential of the countries of the Western Balkans , as well as the added value(GDP) created in them. One of the obstacles to such policy is that profit and wealth are created on the difference in development among countries.

NOVA RAZVOJNA PARADIGMA – POST-COVID RAZVOJ

Author(s): Tihomir Domazet / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The relative development of Croatia in relation to the EU27 was 85.1% in 1986, and 59.5%in 2020, while the same ratio for Serbia is 66.0% (1986) and 37.5% (2020), and for allCEEC17 countries accounted for 62.0% (1986) and 70.4% (2020), respectively. So, simplified,it is a failure of convergence.Gross national income (GNI) is also unfavorable, so the GNI/GDP ratio CEEC17 was 85.0%in 2008 and 97.5% in 2019.Several CEEC17 countries essentially failed to resolve the crisis (2008), and then the whole world was hit by a pandemic, which can be classified as a natural disaster. Although almost all countries in the world are trying to solve the COVID-19 crisis by the common economic and financial measures, problems and doubts arise at the same time.There are some estimates of economic growth in the period 2021-2030, for example for Croatia2.0% on average per year, according to which individual development would still be significantly below the 1986 level. Thus, the question arises as to whether significantly higher growth and development can be achieved in the period 2021-2030, or what measures should be taken to achieve this.The new system is based on several postulates: (i) abandonment of existing economic models as well as economic theories that are no longer valid, (ii) creation of a development paradigm based on new social and economic relations brought by COVID-19, (iii) greater use of knowledge, technologies for the benefit of labor and society as a whole and (iv) a new relationship between economics and philosophy as the driving force of development.COVID-19 brings tremendous changes, and the existing Western civilization cannot provide answers to insoluble contradictions, which means that a new world and a new system is just emerging.A podcast to the new system is a possible contribution of regional connectivity to the new development paradigm.

SKRIVENI POKRETAČI RAZVOJA MALIH EKONOMIJA

Author(s): Brano Markić,Marko Markić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The relative position of economies in the global distribution of income is changing. The logical question is how can small economies progress in their relative position in generating and distributing income, how can they improve their relative position? The paper the reforeemphasizes and highlights the hidden drivers of small economy development that they can identify, activate and follow in order to improve their relative position in income distribution.Mathematical descriptions of economies based on assumptions and selection of the most important variables from the aspect of economic growth are described by growth models. Entrepreneurship in our time is an activity, a process, an invisible assumption and a driver of economic development. In the research methodology, the paper hypothesizes that entrepreneurship,measured by the rate of emergence (birth rate) of new enterprises and the growth of gross domestic product are significantly related. Based on empirical data for EU countries,this link exists, and can be interpreted as moderate. Gross domestic product growth and entrepreneurship are related, and their causal relationship has not been empirically determined.In addition to entrepreneurship, the paper emphasizes economic policy as another invisible, hidden, but important driver of economic development. Therefore, encouraging entrepreneurship through economic policy measures is another important invisible driver of economic growth.

UTICAJ PANDEMIJE VIRUSA KORONA NA FINANSIJSKU RANJIVOST LOKALNIH ZAJEDNICA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ

Author(s): Jelena Poljašević,Miloš Jokić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The crisis caused by the corona virus caused a drop in revenues with a simultaneous increase in public expenditures in the budgets of both central and local levels of government. Research on the impact of crises on financial vulnerability, ie the resilience of local units is particularly important given that the services provided by these communities, and the creation of a local business environment, have a decisive impact on the quality of life of residents. Analyzing the financial indicators of municipalities and cities in Republika Srpska in the period before and immediately after the outbreak of the pandemic, it was noticed that neither institutional factors, which are reflected in the influence of central government on local or territorial,decisively influenced the response of local communities to the crisis. The prominent vulnerability,ie poor financial indicators, was primarily influenced by internal factors, ie inadequate and untimely planning, ignoring the new situation, and unwillingness to adapt to changes.

BANKARSTVO U BIH KAO DIO MAKROEKONOMSKE I POLITIČKE REALNOSTI, STRATEGIJA RAZVOJA I IZAZOVI U BUDUĆNOSTI

Author(s): Berislav Kutle / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

In the post-war period of development, BiH adopted regulations that, in addition to the transfer of knowledge from foreign banking, influenced the development of this sector. The banking sector has continued its further development by accelerating harmonization with EU regulations, so that BiH in this area is at the European level. Recently, however, government regulations have increasingly lagged behind current banking development needs.Banking in the future will be significantly different from today. The process of planning interest income should not be too demanding, as opposed to non-interest, which will be a great challenge for all those who have the appropriate infrastructure to implement it. Taking into account all global trends and their impact on banking, it will be necessary to look for solutions based on customer needs and preferences and define products accordingly. In this context, it is necessary to develop key competencies for a new way of doing business, create an organizational structure adaptable to new circumstances, create new products and make decisions that will increase the level of connectivity.

OD LINEARNE DO CIRKULARNE EKONOMIJE: PRIMJER IZ BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE

Author(s): Zdravko Todorović,Igor Todorović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Waste is today considered one of the most significant environmental problems of the modern world. Man, with his activities, is a decisive factor in changing and polluting the environment. Nature does not know waste, waste is the work of man. The research problem is a waste-generating economy model. From the beginning of the industrial revolution, man decided to abandon the circular model of the economy and to move in a straight line. He adopted a linear model of the economy that takes resources from nature,processes them into products, which are thrown away after use and create waste. The linear economy model on the one hand brought rapid economic growth and development, increased productivity, population growth, raising living standards, development of new technologies and knowledge, but on the other hand the linear economy model created catastrophic environmental problems, uncontrolled use of resources, allowed rich global access to resources, changed political and military power, stratified the population into a small group of rich and mass poor, created excessive consumerism, led to drastic climate change and the like. The world has realized that the linear economic model must change.The first phase in the transition from a linear to a circular economy is the recycling economy. The goal is to recycle discarded products and return them as raw materials to a new process. A special problem is the cleaner “planet” than previous waste. The next phase is a systematic approach to economic change that aims to design business systems in such a way that products after use can be easily returned as raw materials to the business process and be zero waste. These changes require all stakeholders to be involved in the change process. Economic progress cannot be stopped, but it can be slowed down for sustainable development. The paper presents the development of economic models and presents the process of transition from linear to circular economy. A special contribution of the paper is the analysis of the state of the economic model in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the comparison with the circular model in the European Union. The discussion analyzes the situation in the field of circular economy in Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia.

UTICAJ PANDEMIJE VIRUSA KORONA NA OPORAVAK I RAST PRIVREDNIH SUBJEKATA U MALIM EKONOMIJAMA ZAPADNOG BALKANA − S OSVRTOM NA REPUBLIKU SRPSKU

Author(s): Dragan Mikerević,Đoko Malešević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The coronavirus pandemic has threatened not only our lives but also the maintenance of economic life. Prohibitions and restrictions, introduced due to epidemiological reasons, disrupted the established global, regional and even local supply chains, which ultimately affected the reduction of the volume of business activities of companies. That is why the financial performance of companies in the Republic of Srpska, as well as in most economies in 2020,is worse than it was before the coronavirus. In order to remain on the market and eventually grow, the economy in the Republic of Srpska does not have long-term available capital, so the chance should be sought through debt restructuring and other forms of financing and the precondition for that is a much more favorable business environment than the existing one.

Дистанция на властта между ръководители и подчинени – къде се намира хотелиерството?

Author(s): Rumen Minkovski / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Power Distance (PD) effects in Bulgarian organisations have been subject to scientific research for almost a quarter of a century now. However, that type of interaction between managers and employees is a relatively new area of study in the field of human resource management in hotels in Bulgaria. The paper presents the results from 12 empirical studies of PD using Hofstede’s model, two of which are in the hospitality industry. A comparative analysis has been carried out on the Power Distance Index (PDI) and its variables: fear among the employees, their understanding of an actual management style, preferred management style, etc. The results obtained in the hospitality industry show the highest PDI in comparison to other sectors. The paper also discusses some of the consequences high PDI can have for the human resource management practice in hotels. Some proposals are made as how to reduce the PDI.

Sustainable agriculture: Development of organic farming. Case study of the Czech Republic

Author(s): Pavel Kotyza,Luboš Smutka / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Sustainability is a crucial topic in today’s agricultural policy discussion. Agriculture faces 2 challenges—feeding increasing number of people, while being sustainable and reducing negative environmental effects. Agriculture will require “structural transformation” to meet goals of global society—the Sustainable Development Goals. Land management, bio-diversity and soil degradation are often correlated with farming practices. Thus, having sustainable agriculture requires transformation of farming practices, and organic farming belongs to potential directions. For over 3 decades, organic farming has gained on importance, market share as well as popularity among consumers, producers and policymakers. Health concerns, public support and market potential convinced farmers to introduce non-conventional farming practices. On the contrary, organic farming is often criticized for lower production potential, higher pricing and labour intensity. In the Czech Republic current organic production is rather extensive (on pastures), and products are not sold as organic due to the market oversaturation. However, slow but increasing trend in crop production, which could lead to improved farm economies is observed. The future of organic farming development as individual by side effects related to organic farming are considered to be of the key significance for long-term sustainability of agricultural activities. Organic farming is not a solution to current society issues, butit could be considered as innovative alternative approach for future generations.

Innovations on rail freight market

Author(s): Dora Naletina,Mate Damić / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Ten years ago, the European Union recognized the importance of stopping further development of road freight transportation and the need for making rail freight a more prominent branch of industry. Rail transportation used to hold a more relevant position, but because of slow response to changes on the market and no investments in modernization, it now occupies only around 10%of the share in freight transportation in most EU member states. Most members have initiated the implementation of the restructuring and liberalization of rail market, with the aim of establishing a multimodal transportation network and reducing negative impact of road freight on the environment. The Croatian market is no exception, of course. It has liberalized the rail freight market since the Accession to the EU, while the rail passenger traffic is still monopolized by a company owned by the state. The Croatian national carrier HŽ Cargo has decided to face the competition by restructuring the current business and giving a sharper focus on innovation (intermodal terminals, RO-LA, and digitalization of business operations). The above-mentioned topics are analysed in the following chapter.

Brand as an innovation—The case of Czech wine

Author(s): Jan Zavodny Pospisil / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Czech Republic is not a typical wine-growing country, yet winemaking and viticulture are among the oldest Czech crafts. Although the situation is slightly improving today, domestic wine production is not very preferred by Czech consumers since more than two-thirds of the wine that Czechs drink each year is imported. In the long term, the worst situation prevailed with the sales of a young wine. The cause was twofold: On the one hand, the market was already penetrated by imported Beaujolais nouveau, which became a synonym for the young wine. On the other, a peculiar Czechs’ taste for young wine was also an obstacle. As a young wine, many Czechs drink partially fermented must from grapevine fruits called “Burčák”. The young wine market was therefore seemingly penetrated with a low possibility of new brands entering it. The proposed case study will describe an ongoing campaign in which a new brand, “Svatomartinské víno”, was created. With this brand, it was possible to change the Czech consumers’ view of immature wines fundamentally. Thanks to the innovative branding approach, the product, which Czech consumers had neglected for many years, became a superior and must-have product for broad consumers. Also, the relationship between the brand and consumers has been established. The new brand has become a potential for many other related events. Last but not least, the consumption of domestic wine increased, which led to the support of local wineries and related regions.

Storytelling in business—How to increase customer engagement

Author(s): Iwona Olejnik / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Storytelling, as a marketing innovation, is the market communication tool that allows present the facts in a coherent and attractive way so as to stand out from the competition and more effectively influence the consumer’s imagination and engagement. It can be concluded that the history of storytelling itself dates back to the beginnings of mankind, when humans started to transfer knowledge from generation to generation. The chapter indicates that storytelling evokes emotions in customers, and these in turn affect commitment and action. The most important and primary elements of storytelling include superior message, conflict, characters (the archetypes) and plot. Each good story can be based on a few important points, which are well described by the concept proposed by American writer Joseph Campbell. In addition, the chapter also presents examples of sources of inspiration for storytelling. Among them, it is worth mentioning, for example: history of the company’s founder or president, the beginnings of the company, employees’ stories or milestones (successes or failures). The last part presents two case studies of the use of storytelling by enterprises. These are examples from the Polish market regarding the use of storytelling in employee recruitment and customer engagement.
