A MODEL OF ANALYSIS OF THE E-LEARNING SYSTEM QUALITY

The wide proliferation of the e-learning formation system become a true fact. The infrastructure delivered by the internet network permitted the decreases of the exploitation costs in favor of the beneficiary of formations. Like in the case of the classic system of formation a question about how to measure the its quality is raised. It is very specialized environment with the same actors like in the classic system too but with different type of interactions. Can we say that in both system the results are similar and their quality is the same. This paper reveal a model that can be used when try to evaluate the quality of this kind of system using specialized indicators for every aspect that can be measured.e-learning system, quality, indicators, beneficiary of formation elearning activities, e-learning materials

THE INFLUENCE OF THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT ON THE COMPANIES COMPETITIVENESS

In a market economy, competition is the engine which makes the entire system of connections between the economic operators work, the main element of the market mechanism which leads to the development of the economic life. The competition represents a tough fight, without considerations, where the economic interests of each participant on the market come first. In this context, this paper attempts to carry out an analysis of the competitive environment and especially of the influence exerted by it on the competitiveness of the companies. Otherwise, competitiveness can be regarded as the main goal that is to earn higher profits or a better position on the market.

TO WHAT EXTENT IS THE LOCAL TAX INCREASE APPROPRIATE?

Fiscality represents a major decision factor for investment as it represents an important cost of every business transaction regardless of its type, size or geographical location. In this respect, we find that a legislative initiative could be a solution worthy of being taken into consideration, an initiative that would allow each locality - regardless of its rank - to provide its citizens with standards in accordance with their efforts. Tax federalization may allow higher efficiency in spending public resources that are never abundant enough, and also greater political accountability. Moreover, tax federalization could also be beneficial for increasing Romania’s degree of democracy, as the decisions directly concerning the citizen are brought much closer to him/her so that he/she can control them more easily, by vote or by a proper spending of taxes he/she pays. The paper analyses the usual arguments discussed about fiscal federalization through normative and positive (public choice) approaches.fiscality; local tax; tax increase; tax federalization; public choice

EVOLUTIONS IN THE WORLD COMPETITIVENESS CLASSIFICATION –THE CASE OF ROMANIA*

This article approaches the problem of competitiveness and aims to outline the place of our country from the point of view of competitiveness as opposed to other countries; this analysis is carried out at a global level. One can notice that our country has a pretty low position in the world competitiveness classification, this position being influenced by a series of factors, as for example: underground economy and corruption, taxes, inefficient agriculture and high interests.

A STOCHASTIC MODELING FOR THE UNSTABLE FINANCIAL MARKETS

Considering the present economic context, the measurement of performances has become a permanent preoccupation for organizations, since the whole process is based on it, offering the necessary feedback to identify both the positive actions which have led to favorable results for the organization, and the negative ones, in order to correct them in the future. To do this, we have to measure what is most importantly to measure. Starting from these considerations, the present paper approaches from a theoretical and practical point of view the economic rate of return as the indicator which synthesizes best an organization’s financial-economic performance. We have calculated and analyzed the economic rate of return for a group of Ten Romanian Firms in the food industry, through different calculation relations, pointing out the advantages/disadvantages of each calculation method.belated integral, forward-backward stochastic equations, pathwise uniqueness, financial modeling.

A TEORETICAL APPROACH ON ERM II

This article presents an overview of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and of the effects of this mechanism on the new Member States from the point of view of the stability of the exchange rate, of the convergence with the macroeconomic policy and of the inflation stabilization. There will be outlined the contradictions which may appear between the preparation of the EU accession conditions and those regarding the accession to EMU, with the intermediate stage ERM II, including the effect Balassa-Samuelson. Another important element is to set the central exchange rate for ERM II because this central exchange rate will be similar or almost similar with the future exchange rate as opposed to Euro.ERM II, exchange rate, exchange rate stability system reform,demographic evolution
