TRENDS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN ROMANIA

World economy is experiencing some important transformations, mainly due to the rapid evolution of the informational and communication technologies. In the last years, new technologies flooded the production processes. They have allowed the improvement of the processing and use of the economic information and the general accelaration of the economic flows. The technological revolution is presented in all its trade forms, either the wholesale trade or the retail trade. The technical progress interferes with the economic activity through the re-engineering of the production lines, the revolution in the field of building materials and store, shopping center, malls and industrial hall building, the considerably shorter time period these are being built and they become available for the commercial activity, the revolution in the field of supply, merchandise storage and manipulation, the appearance of different types of intelligent machineries and equipment, merchandise storage software improving the way the client is served at the counter. The industrial revolution determines a reorganization of the economic activity, a resetting of the trade economic activity by directing the trader towards the client using new commercial techniques and strategies.technology, technological revolution, technical progress, development, production, trade, improvement of the trade activity

THE DYNAMICS OF THE ROMANIAN UNIVERSITIES GRADUATES NUMBER IN THE 2005-2010 PERIOD

In the context of the European single market, where information, capitals, persons, goods and services circulate free and fast, where economic rationality is different at the global level from the national one, radical mutations occur in each member state's strategy with regard to the educational system. Therefore, the Romanian educational system, especially the Romanian higher education must correlate the graduates number with the Romanian and EU labour force requirements, and take into account the necessities imposed by the participation at international competition. On the other hand, a country's economic and social development level depends very much on its citiyens' educational level, especially in nowadays knowledge-based society, which is a society of life-long-learning.dynamics, university graduates, economic growth

E-learning standards

E-learning standards refer to a system of common rules for content, authoring software and Learning Management Systems (LMSs) - rules that specify how courses can be created and delivered over multiple platforms so that they all operate seamlessly together. Accredited standards ensure that the investment in time and intellectual capital could move from one system to the next. Currently, e-learning standards are being developed by four main organizations: AICC, IEEE, IMS, and ADL. The article presents some aspects of these standards.E-learning, standards.

Holding the Supervisor to Account: The European Parliament and the European Central Bank in Banking Supervision. Bertelsmann Stiftung Policy Paper 19 November 2018

In the aftermath of the euro crisis, the European Central Bank (ECB) took over responsibilities for banking supervision in the euro area in the framework of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). This expansion of the original ECB mandate in monetary policy was coupled with the establishment of additional accountability mechanisms to balance the newly acquired competences. In terms of political accountability, the relationship with the European Parliament (EP) was placed front and centre — with regular interactions between the two institutions since late 2013. This paper analyses the accountability interactions between the EP’s Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) Committee and ECB Banking Supervision in the first 4.5 years of the functioning of the SSM. In particular, it aims to: 1) situate the relationship between the ECB and the EP in the broader context of political accountability in banking supervision; 2) provide an overview of the frequency and patterns of interactions between the two institutions, describing types of questions asked and answers provided; and 3) identify strengths and weaknesses in the process, with a forward-looking focus on prospects for improvement

Negotiation processes within inter-organizational alliances

This paper describesthe negotiation component of E-Alliance, a software infrastructure defined for supporting negotiation activities in concurrent inter-organizational alliances. The E-Alliance’s main intent is to preserve the autonomy of organizations grouped in an alliance. The purpose of this work is to offer support for small and medium enterprises which cannot or do not want to fulfill a big contract alone. This approach is illustrated by a sample scenario where partners are printshops grouped into an alliance to better accomplish customers’ demands.negotiation, middleware, virtual enterprises, multi-agent systems, interaction protocol

Old and New Encounters: The Impact of Managing Diversity on Services for Children and Young People in the UK

The Crime and Disorder Act, 1998 moved the youth justice system onto new terrain, tackling the prevention of children’s and young people’s offending by means of permanent partnerships of social workers, health professionals, educationalists, probation and police officers. Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) have become the vehicles of service delivery in the policy area of youth justice. After the Children Act 2004, YOTs have been located within statutory partnerships with a whole range of agencies (including those already represented in YOTs) in Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs). Like any innovation, multi-agency working brings both opportunities and threats. Indeed, the agencies with a duty to cooperate in the policy realm of children and young people’s policy are often conventional, long established organisations drawing upon even more traditional core professions. One of the consequences of this is a reluctance to cooperate due to essential incompatibilities between core practices and organisational cultures. Previous research by the authors (McAllister and Dudau, 2006) identified gender as an important element of misalignment between the core agencies in partnerships for children and young people: social services, schools, health authorities and the police. Specifically, we argued that if gender biased conventions represent one area of inter-organisational misunderstanding and potential dysfunction, this will impact on the quality of interaction and the outcomes for the partnership as a whole. Other research by one of the authors (McAllister and Stirbu 2007) identified the age and capacity of organisations as factors in demonstrating gender balance. In this paper, we develop this existing research by first, exploring other measures of diversity (such as professional background and working patterns) as potential barriers in collaborations. Secondly, we explore whether the newer YOTs better deal with diversity than their more established partner agencies in LSCBs. Thirdly, we explore inter-agency dynamics between YOTs and their more traditional partners in the LSCBs. Finally, we draw some conclusions about the value and importance of managing diversity for effective multi-agency work
