Strategy of influence and lobbying of small and medium-size enterprises
Authors: Ružin Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

Small and medium enterprises have been identified as one of the essential levers of development in EU countries. These business entities have effects on the rest of the economic system in terms of job creation, product differentiation, and the use of local real production factors. The aim of this article is to focus on the benefit these companies could derive from the practice of influence and lobbying strategies. In EU countries, influence strategy still retains an unfavorable abstract and negative connotation. The influence strategy is based on two key levers: public relations and lobbying. On the one hand, PR aims to direct the attitude and behavior of the public on whose entities the economic activity of SMEs depends. On the other hand, lobbying is characterized by a series of direct or indirect interventions responsible for guiding the arbitration of public institutions in accordance with their interests. Thus, PR focuses on influencing the perception of things, while lobbying acts on the normative aspect of the environment. In this context, direct (grasstop) and indirect (grassroots) lobbying represent important tools for influencing and defending the interests of SMEs. The storytelling is a modern term in lobbying. These tools serve a targeted problem in order to arouse the interest of public decision makers. Mastery of the media universe and legislative context is vital to the development of lobbying.

Authors: Kastratović Edita , Dragić Milan , Kastratović Milica
Published: December 2024

The paper provides an analysis of the legislative framework of the European Union and the Republic of Serbia regarding entrepreneurial education and training. Entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial innovation, and flexibility are the main characteristics of entrepreneurial management, regardless of whether it is a large or small enterprise, a production or service organization, a governmental or non-governmental institution. Entrepreneurship, as a dynamic process of continuous change in both economic structure and efficiency, requires competent personnel who are creative, innovative, and capable of assuming the risks associated with business actions. For all these reasons, entrepreneurial education becomes a key factor for advancing innovative capabilities and fostering economic growth, both at the individual level and in the broader societal context. The analysis has shown that entrepreneurship is an indispensable factor in the development of national and other economies and that entrepreneurial learning is an integral part of the strategic and legal documents across various sectors.

Published: December 2024

The improvement and retention of the competitive advantage of small and medium-sized enterprises on the international market is directly influenced by the effective application of innovation strategies, high quality products and services, and adequate market orientation. Studying the connection between innovation and export performance is one of the prerequisites for the growth and expansion of small and medium-sized companies on international markets, which also contributes to strengthening their market position. The aim of the paper is to analyze the relationship between innovation and export interpreted through the theory of "self-selection" or "learning by exporting". On the other hand, previous studies have shown that the most important barriers to entering the European Union market for Serbian exporters are the complexity of export documentation, poor organization of the company's export department, poor product design and entrance to export markets, high costs of transporting goods and inadequate promotion of the company on export markets.

Authors: Marković-Blagojević Marija , Simonović Danijela , Milenković-Anđelković Ana
Published: December 2024

This paper is the result of the project "The World of Work Before and After Chat GPT - 'Chat GPT - The Perfect Worker Without Consciousness?'", which involved activities with teachers and students from primary and secondary schools in Kruševac. As technology increasingly becomes an inseparable part of our present, we will encounter artificial intelligence (AI) more frequently in both formal and informal education. The use of AI can support student learning and growth, enhance their motivation and engagement, facilitate access to learning resources, and make the educational process more efficient. However, during the project activities with teachers, the authors encountered various biases related to the application of AI. These included fears that AI would replace them, insufficient knowledge and understanding of the advantages and challenges of AI integration, as well as unfamiliarity with or low confidence in using various AI tools that can facilitate teaching, increase student engagement, and motivate learning. Consequently, these tools can contribute to the development of digital competencies necessary for life and work in the 21st century. The goal of this paper is to provide answers and clarify the role of teachers in the new digital environment, as well as to help overcome the aforementioned fears among the teaching staff.

Economic education in practice
Authors: Milošević Svetlana
Published: December 2024

In order to participate in the labor market, economics graduates must acquire the necessary knowledge and competences during their studies, without which they cannot be actively involved in business processes and start their career as experts even in the most basic economic categories. If students do not have the initiative to really acquire knowledge, but their goal is only to pass certain exams, they finish their studies even without basic knowledge about economic categories. They start their careers from jobs where they are hired as operatives from whom no economic knowledge and performance is expected, but only the willingness to perform basic operational technical actions. In this paper, we have shown how economics students see their professional future and what basic knowledge they have about economic categories, such as taxes and contributions.

Published: December 2024

Changes in the field of modern tourist demand have led to an increase in interest in staying in a preserved environment, getting to know the traditions and ways of life of people around the world. The return to nature and culture has opened the way for new forms of tourism offer and enthusiastic entrepreneurs who see a chance for development precisely in the "secluded corners" of their country. The rise of entrepreneurship in rural areas, oriented primarily towards the local community, encourages self-employment, creation of new jobs, economic growth, modernization of the much-needed infrastructure, giving new meaning to the environment in which it develops. The development of rural tourism contributes to the revitalization of abandoned rural areas, neglected natural and cultural values, but also to the improvement of the living standards of the rural population. Ethno villages represent the vision of the aforementioned enthusiasts to authentically present the traditional architecture and lifestyle of the people, present the tastes, smells and crafts of their region, but also to encourage economic and socio-cultural progress through these tourist activities. In the paper, ethno villages of Serbia, their current offer, placement on the market, as well as plans for future development which follow changes in the face of increasingly demanding tourist demand, are studied. In order to obtain as precise information as possible and adequately set up the research, a research method was used, specifically, a survey was conducted among the owners of ethno villages operating in the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Current issues in inclusion of elderly people in tourism activities
Authors: Todorović Nikola , Jovičić Dobrica
Published: December 2024

The quality of life of elderly people is linked to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - no poverty, good health and well-being, reduced inequality, sustainable cities and communities. According to the 2022 census, individuals older than 64 make up about 22% of the total population in Serbia. Involving older people in tourist movements primarily has a great social importance. Within the framework of the subsidy program for domestic tourism in Serbia, retirees represented 55% of all users of holiday vouchers in 2024. Third-age tourism also features favourable impacts on the economy of tourist destinations, which in Serbia is mostly associated with spas. In order to assess the planning framework for tourist movements of this age segment, the current Strategy of Active and Healthy Ageing in Serbia for the period up to 2030 was analysed in the context of tourism and related activities. An analysis of leading tourism literature was performed to point out some topics relevant to better understanding and improving third-age tourism - changing dynamics of family relations, active ageing through collaborative value creation, and adapting recreational spaces to the needs of individuals with specific health conditions.
The application of GIS and AHP method in selection of suitable locations for building solar power plants in the territory of the municipality of Vrnjacka banja
Authors: Radaković Nikola , Kostadinović Milica
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the use of solar energy in Serbia has become one of the more popular alternatives for electricity supply due to its environmentally friendly, reliable, and renewable source of power. Despite the availability of detailed assessments of the benefits of using solar power plants, the constant emergence of new proposals and endless debate about the justification of investing in these facilities hinder their wider application in the territory of the Republic. This paper presents the combined use of GIS and AHP methods in selecting suitable locations for building solar power plants in the municipality of Vrnjacka Banja. So far, the proposed factors influencing the decision on choosing a potential location for solar power plants are not definitive, leaving room for further research and improvement in this area. In this scientific paper, using the AHP method to determine weight coefficients for each factor, four were chosen: land use, terrain slope, buffer zone around roads, and elevation of the terrain. The processed data show that the elevation factor has the greatest impact on selecting suitable locations, followed by the buffer zone around roads, while the influence of terrain slope and land use is significantly weaker. This scientific paper also identified four key criteria with a significant impact on making the final decision: average annual number of sunshine hours, investment costs, the percentage of stored and usable solar energy compared to the total amount of electrical energy used by the municipality in the observed period, and the impact of solar panels on cultural monuments in their environment. All of the above is analyzed in the QGIS program. The authors hope that the results of this paper will, to a certain extent, contribute to the further development of the municipality of Vrnjacka Banja's power system, and that the analysis of the mentioned factors and criteria could be applied to other municipalities with similar characteristics.

Authors: Milić Matija
Published: December 2024

The paper analyzes the current accessibility and efficiency of the work of fi re services in the territory of the city of Niš, as well as the projected potential situation in case of setting up additional points of fi re stations in the territory of the city. Descriptive, textual, analytical-synthetic, cartographic, comparative and application methods were applied in the work. From the OpenStreetMap (OSM) platform, roads on the territory of Serbia were downloaded in the form of shapefile, and then with the help of the Intersection algorithm, their spatial intersection with the territory of the City of Niš was performed. A new layer was obtained that contains traffic roads on the territory of the City and which was used as an input layer for network analysis techniques. The direction and speed of movement of fi re vehicles (60 km/h) were taken as relevant parameters, while the number and type of fi re vehicles were not included in the analysis. Phenomena and data were cartographically displayed and analyzed in the computer program QGIS 3.28 11, with the Google Road background. The phenomena and objects on the map were shown in the Gauss-Kriger projection of MGI Balkans zone 7 (EPSG: 6316). The QNEAT3 plugin and its algorithm Iso-Area as Polygons (from Layer) were used in the analysis. It was confirmed that a large part of the City's territory can be protected from a disaster in a short period of time (up to 15 minutes), as well as that the introduction of two additional potential points increases the efficiency of protection. The obtained results can be significant during further strategic planning of protection in emergency situations, as well as in future urban planning and investment projects in the City of Niš.

"Sahara through the ages": An example of a project in geography lessons
Authors: Marković Mina
Published: December 2024

Using the example of the project "Sahara through the ages", the paper aims to validate project teaching and show the benefits of its implementation. For this purpose, the work of two first grade classes at Valjevska Gymnasium was observed during lessons on the topic of atmosphere. One class dealt with the topic in lectures, while the other class dealt with the same content in project lessons. At the end of the lesson topic, the students in both classes took a test to determine the extent to which they had acquired new knowledge about the atmosphere. The results of the test showed that the students who had taken part in the project had functionally adopted the planned lesson content. This confirmed the hypothesis that project teaching can deliver better learning outcomes than lecture teaching. To evaluate the project lessons, the students completed surveys and questionnaires in addition to tests measuring knowledge. The survey results show that project teaching contributed to more effective acquisition of geographical content, better motivation and development of students' skills.

Authors: Bogdanović Maja
Published: December 2024

In a world where everything has been 'already seen' and is easily accessible, where standard, well-packaged arrangements have been overcome, the prerequisite for success becomes the realization of an authentic tourist experience. In the search for something innovative, the attention of providers and users of services is increasingly directed towards creativity and pushing seemingly clearly defined boundaries. The concept of creative tourism is gaining importance because it allows tourists to connect with the local population through everyday activities during their stay. This is precisely why this form of tourism is increasingly being used as a powerful means of promoting rural areas which aim to preserve and affirm local culture. In the paper, ethno villages of Serbia are studied, which are recognized on the tourist market as a kind of guardians of tradition, which strive to evoke a sense of nostalgia in visitors, awaken creativity and imagination. A research method (survey) was used to determine the extent to which the owners recognize the importance of creative tourism for the future development of not only the observed architecture, but also the rural areas where they are located. The statistical data processing program SPSS was used to process the obtained data. The research can benefit the owners of ethno villages in further directing the offer and aligning it with current trends, competent institutions, both at the local, regional and national level, as well as potential investors who understand the concept of preserving local traditions through creativity and an authentic experience.

The authors want to know how satisfied tourists are with the loyalty of the Trokon River tourism object's management in Kayumanis Village in light of this background. The motivation behind the exploration is to distinguish traveler appraisals concerning the degree of guest assumptions and the presentation of guest fascination for the Trokon Waterway visit in Kayu Cinnamon Town. This research analysis employs qualitative and quantitative analysis as its method. Subjective examination, in particular, breaks down issues connected with research as portrayals and elaborations. Quantitative examination, precisely ascertaining with assurance the information acquired from dispersing polls and the apparatus utilized, is the Fishbein technique; Fishbein's definition is the most well-known property model. Based on a set of beliefs regarding the attributes of manager loyalty weighted by an evaluation of these attributes, the Fishbein method is used to determine the level of tourist/visitor satisfaction with the loyalty of tourism object managers. The consequences of this examination demonstrate that the reliability of the Trokon, The travel industry Item supervisors, is all around seen by sightseers. This cannot be separated from the characteristics of a Manager's loyalty. The fact that the tourism object manager's loyalty value is not significant despite being to the right (positive) of the secant line is noteworthy. This can be a record for pioneers and executives to additionally work on the nature of administration from existing assets because of these traits.

El Sistema de Salud Boliviano es segmentado, fragmentado y cuenta con sectores público, privado y de Seguridad Social, para brindar atención a la población en general y a los pacientes con enfermedades raras.A través de este trabajo se pretende caracterizar la disponibilidad de servicios de salud para el diagnóstico y tratamiento efectivo de pacientes con enfermedades raras, desde la percepción de los pacientes y/o familiares en Bolivia. Se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo, exploratorio, se realizaron 11 entrevistas a pacientes y/o familiares de personas que tienen enfermedades raras que acudieron a servicios sanitarios nacionales. Las entrevistas fueron transcritas y analizadas por medio de la generación de categorías que ayudaron a agrupar fragmentos discursivos, usando el Programa Atlas.tiLos resultados refieren la realidad de atención médica en 4 dimensiones: 1) Medios diagnósticos, donde se encontró escases de medios diagnóstico y pruebas genéticas de detección 2) Medicamentos específicos, con poca disponibilidad 3) Infraestructura, se reportaron problemas de accesibilidad física y 4) Capacidad de diagnóstico, esta fue la mas observada encontrando poca experiencia del personal de salud en la detección de este tipo de patologías, inexistencia de integralidad en el abordaje. El tiempo regular de diagnóstico fue de 3 años, los paceintes refirieron hasta 4 diagnósticos erroneos previos y visitaron entre 6 a 7 profesionales previo a su diagnóstico correcto.Es importante continuar con el trabajo de fortalecimiento del sistema de salud boliviano para dar respuesta a las necesidades de las personas que tienen vulnerabilidad como son las personas con enfermedades raras.

This study aims to research how transformational leadership affects job performance and subsequently the moderating role of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB). A total of 190 employees working in the Malaysia service industry, specifically the professional service sector, as respondents have participated in the research questionnaire. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, reliability and hypothesis testing were analysed by using SmartPLS3 software. This study revealed that only two dimensions of transformational leadership: idealised influence (behaviour) and intellectual stimulation were positively related to job performance. OCB only partially moderates the relationship between transformational leadership and job performance such as inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and job performance. This study provides a framework for the management field to incorporate and recognize further need to study the importance of OCB on transformational leadership and job performance in Malaysia.
