Recent Trends And Developments In Operations Management
Authors: Cotelnic Ala
Published: July 2024

Today operations management is used to characterize the management of the daily activities of all business units, which ultimately lead to the final product or service. The purpose of operations management is to streamline the production process and general operations within the business to maximize profit and ensure business growth. After going through three industrial revolutions, manufacturing technology and management are currently facing the fourth leap (and some researchers say we are in the fifth industrial revolution), industrial revolutions being driven by rapid change, achieved through innovation. The purpose of this article is to highlight the trends in operations management based on the analysis of this concept evolution. In this sense, we mention the contribution of each revolution in the development of operations management. We note that today's main feature is the use of new technologies to provide prosperity beyond job creation while respecting the planet's production limits. Recent trends in production/operations management relate to global competition and its impact on companies, especially manufacturing companies. Following the research carried out, we highlight and characterize some trends in operations management. A special place belongs to the study of the influence of artificial intelligence on the development of operations management. We argue that artificial intelligence can significantly influence the management of production operations, but also in the service sector by providing significant advantages and improvements. The key question that appears in this order of ideas concerns finding the optimum between decisions made by humans and those determined by machines.

Authors: Platon Nicolae , Vieru Tatiana
Published: July 2024

In economies in transition, including the Republic of Moldova, the reform of the energy sector should be carried out as quickly as possible, since this is a prerequisite for enhancing the country's energy security, as well as for integrating the internal energy market with the European one. It is obvious that one cannot imagine a modern, evolving economy without an efficient energy sector, that is capable of providing and sustaining with energy resources different sectors of the economy, alongside with areas related to social development. The major current problems that the energy sector is facing today include: supply, network losses, inefficiencies of the energy market, environmental impact, poor sources of investments, thus, making the sector unsustainable; and this is largely due to absence of an adequate institutional framework. In addition, all mentioned above is aggravated by complexity and difficulty of the problem related to inclusion of our country into Energy Package IV, which envisions the reform of the sector applying standards of the European Union aimed at overcoming obstacles caused by the economic and financial crisis that we are going through. Therefore, enhancement of the quality and security of the energy sector can only be achieved if restructured energy industries rest on a stable and sustainable financial foundation.Through this research, the authors set the following objective: identification of problems and offering viable solutions regarding the reform of the energy sector of the country using best European practices.

Published: July 2024

Medical tourism is a growing economic sector with a $272.70 billion market. In the last ten years, especially after the Pandemic, the health tourism market has increased for Estland with tourists from developed countries. Germans, French people, citizens from the US, and the UK are interested in medical services after the border with low-cost medical care, high technologies, and specialized health workers. This study analyzes factors pushing health migrants to travel abroad: working conditions, salary revenue, poor life conditions, lower education system, and desire to have opportunities to gain better experience, and specialization. This study shows the migration source countries, international agreements, and mutual arrangements that manage this phenomenon. The research methodology is a literature review. The study's goal is to analyze the situation of migration health workers from Romania and the Republic of Moldova and to respond to questions: how this phenomenon affects the public healthcare sector, what is their desire, and is this a national or international problem? The globalization era is an opportunity for health workers to choose quickly actual job requirements, obtain a higher work position, and receive professional reviews and skills evaluation. Artificial intelligence, Virtual reality, and the Metaverse are the instruments proposed to resolve this phenomenon by the government. The migration of healthcare workers is not just an economic strategy for authorities. World Health Organization proposes a reform for Romania and the Republic of Moldova according to educational and social instruments. Today this phenomenon is influenced by refugees from Ukraine.
Concept Of “Time”: Cross-Cultural Approach
Authors: Pirlog Angela
Published: July 2024

The present paper aims to describe the importance of time notion in today’s globalized world. Understanding over the time orientation and also time perception within of a specific culture is critical to the successful handling of social, diplomatic and business situations. Misunderstandings of chronemics (science about the time, its perception and attitude) can lead to a failure to understand intentions, especially in social business communication. Knowing the temporal profile of the representative of a specific culture will help to solve time-related issues and avoid problems. Time orientation: past, present and future and time perception: sequential/monochronic versus synchronic polychronic are dimensions that influence the specific behavior describing the cultural temporal profile that can predict the inclination of a specific society that focuses on how people structure time, ranging from single task to multitask approach. In order to describe the elements of the temporal profile we used different cultural models: Hofstede, Trompenaars, Hall, Zimbardo.

The study is based on the analysis of the standard of living in the Republic of Moldova through the prism of enhancing public administration performance. Public administration plays a key role in improving the population's economic performance and living conditions. The paper highlights that economic growth is a crucial condition for improving living standards. Countries with a high economic potential provide their citizens with structural conditions that favor a high standard of living and a good quality of life. In Moldova, economic growth performance in recent years has been suboptimal, leading to a considerable decline in the standard of living for the population. This work aims to analyses the prospects for improving the standard of living of the population by improving the performance of public administrations. Various research methods were used to achieve this goal, including quantitative and qualitative analysis of relevant documents and statistical data, synthesis method, comparative method, induction and deduction method, etc. The status of a candidate country for EU accession, obtained by the Republic of Moldova in June 2022, obliges the government to undertake a series of measures to improve economic performance and the living conditions of its citizens. The modernization of public administration and the creation of the necessary capacity to effectively fulfil its role as a facilitator of economic development and the enhancement of the population's standard of living becomes a major condition. The administration is obliged to create the necessary conditions to ensure that each person has access to the goods and services of civilization.

Published: July 2024

In a constantly changing business world, motivating employees within a company and attracting new human resources become strategic priorities for companies. In order to achieve these objectives, it is crucial to implement effective motivational strategies, which lead to the retention of employees and the attraction of new valuable candidates. An effective motivational strategy not only attracts valuable candidates, but also determines the existing employees to make their maximum contribution to the success of the organization. Managers are increasingly concerned with assuming an important responsibility, namely that of motivating their employees to achieve performance. More and more companies realize the need to awaken the interest of employees to participate to a large extent in the company's success. Companies that maintain a focus on employee motivation will always have an advantage because a motivated employee is a productive employee. This will positively influence the results of the companies. That is why the motivational process is an important one, and managers should juggle motivational strategies to drive performance and help the company thrive. In this article, we will explore various forms of motivation, the causes for lack of motivation and what are the benefits that motivational strategies bring. Therefore, investing in effective strategies regarding the motivation of staff and candidates not only increases the attractiveness of the company on the labor market, but also strengthens the solid basis for the long-term success of the organization.
Set Of Equilibria In Mixed-Strategy For Hierarchical Structures
Authors: Lozan Victoria
Published: July 2024

In most socio-economic entities a hierarchical structure can be distinguished. In the process of solving a task, the final result depends on the decisions made at each level. The choice made by a certain actor involved in solving the problem influences the choices of others and, not least, final profit. The paper aims to research mixed-strategy hierarchical games in three-level. That is, the game consists of three players, each of them has two strategies and a gain function. Players make moves in hierarchical mode: first player makes the choice and communicates the result to second player; second player knowing first player's choice, as well as third player's set of strategies and payoff function, makes his move and communicates the outcome to third player; finally, third player knowing the predecessors’ choices, makes his choice. Thus, a situation is created and each player calculates his payoff. It is considered that all players maximize their payoff. The given model includes a wide range of problems that can appear in the socio-economic domain. To computing the Stackelberg equilibria set (SES), reverse induction and the graph reduction of best response mapping of the third player are used. A particular case of the results presented by Lozan and Ungureanu (2010, 2013, 2016, 2018) is studied and concretized. All possible cases for the graph of third player (𝐆𝐫𝟑) are investigated, the construction method is described by Ungureanu and Botnari (2005). Then, for player two, the possibilities that may arise for constructing his graph of best response mapping (𝐆𝐫𝟐) are analyzed. Finally, the first player determines his best moves on 𝐆𝐫𝟐, thus determining the SES in mixed strategies.

The use of computing in commerce has the following advantages: it leads to an increase in income, it is more convenient for the user and the seller, it is cheaper for the user, it saves time, it allows to improve the ecology, etc. For example, in online sales it allows to increase sales, which leads to an increase in income. When the user is looking for a product, he can see what parameters it has, what price it has in different stores, so he can find the right product much faster. In addition to saving time, it saves money because it finds the store with the lowest price, it does not spend on shipping. Because it uses less transport, so it pollutes the environment less. It is also more profitable for the seller, he has no expenses for the rent of the store, communal services, it needs a minimum number of staff, etc. More than that, not using e-commerce (compared to other companies) could leads to loss of income, or even bankruptcy of the business. Other of the important factors in the growth of e-commerce is the use of mobile devices (m-commerce), such as smartphones and tablets. Companies quickly moved to develop mobile apps and websites adapted for mobile devices, making them easy to use and hassle-free.

Authors: Lingur Liubov , Yesina Olha
Published: July 2024

Digitalization, or digital transformation, is considered by leading economists as a key factor for the sustainable development of the global economy as a whole, as well as for each nation as a part of modern society. Ukraine, a country striving for integration into the European Union, is actively enhancing its approaches to the implementation of digital technologies in its economy and society. This article examines the impact of the digitalization process on Ukraine's economy and its consequences for development, integration, and utilization of digital technologies in sectors such as public services, business, and access to information technologies. Special attention is given to evaluating Ukraine's progress in the development and implementation of information products, as well as improving the accessibility of digital resources for citizens, particularly in conditions of armed conflict. Key criteria have been identified for the development and implementation of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) in Ukraine. An analysis of legislative and institutional aspects related to the adoption of DESI as a tool for monitoring the level of digital transformation in the economy is conducted, including alignment with European Union norms and compliance with national development programs in line with core digitalization strategies. The necessity of fully establishing the DESI ecosystem in Ukraine is emphasized as a crucial condition for the successful integration of the country into the European Union. For successful integration into the European community, Ukraine needs to enhance its digital infrastructure, make amendments to its legislative framework, ratify European quality standards, and adjust statistical reporting. Implementing recommendations for data collection and calculations based on the DESI index will contribute to the transformation and expansion of societal digitalization processes, facilitate adaptation to EU standards, and enhance the competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises in European markets.

Administration Of Taxes And Local Fees By The State Tax Service Of The Republic Of Moldova
Authors: Berghe Nadejda
Published: July 2024

Local taxes and fees constitute revenues of local budgets, of an administrative-territorial capacity (villages, cities, municipalities), but the financial resources constituted by local taxes and fees are used for public expenses for the needs of ensuring local budgets. And currently budgets of administrative-territorial units (ATU) have insufficient financial and fiscal potential, local economies facing the inability to generate the necessary amount of revenue. These are limited and do not allow the authorities of local public administration (LPA) to be accountable to the local collective of contributors. The share of own revenues in total budget revenues is relatively modest for most analyzed ATUs: LPA does not have its own important sources of income, and as a result cannot independently decide and solve many of the problems that have arisen. Local taxes and fees generate small amounts, which provide a small percentage of local budget revenues (low fiscal yield of local taxes and fees). Local authorities do not have real rights and tools to influence taxpayers in order to ensure the appropriateness and fullness of the payment of local taxes and fees. In this sense, economic experts and authorities of LPA recommend strengthening the own revenue base at the level of local public authorities, increasing the fiscal yield of local taxes and fees, including by increasing the efficiency of their administration, or request and argue the need to grant local public authorities (level 1 and 2) the freedom to introduce new local taxes and duties or rates additional to existing ones.

Authors: Zadnipru Rodica , Petroia Andrei
Published: July 2024

The Republic of Moldova does not yet have a comprehensive gender budgeting framework in force. The Republic of Moldova legislative and policy framework for gender equality is expressed in Law no. 5 of 09.02.2006 on ensuring equal opportunities between women and men. Moldova’s Parliament and Ministry of Finances are responsible for its national budget cycle (planning and budgeting processes). Recently, the integration of the gender perspective was achieved in the Budget Circulars and the Methodological Set regarding the development, approval and amendment of the budget (Order of the Ministry of Finance no.209 from 2015), which was implemented for the 2022 budget. It is well known that gender budgeting can be applied to any type of budget system at all levels of government, be it central government level or regional and local government levels. Examining the factors that underline introducing gender budgeting at central government level is important because budgetary decisions on both revenue and expenditure are made at this level.

Scope Of International Treaties To Avoid Double Taxation
Authors: Armeanic Alexandru
Published: July 2024

The conventions concluded by the Republic of Moldova on the notion of "person" do not include the element of society, replacing it with the notion of a legal entity. Data: However, the conventions concluded by the Republic of Moldova in the article that will refer to the general definitions (art. 3), will not even refer to the content of a legal person, as is done in the case of the Model Convention, when it refers to the notion of "society". Methodology: These distinctions do not have deviant interpretations, because the notion of "company" is defined by the Model Convention in the following way: "the term "company" designates any legal person or any entity that is considered for taxation purposes as a legal person". Findings: Therefore, in the broad sense of the concept of "legal person", used in the conventions concluded by the Republic of Moldova, only those legal persons that are taken into account "for the purpose of taxation" can be defined, i.e. legal persons that are subject to taxation with regard to taxes which are covered by the convention. In the case of legal entities, when it is a resident of both contracting states, it is considered resident in that contracting state where the effective management body is located. It is necessary to underline the fact that the international benefits of elimination of double taxation are offered only to subjects resident in one or both signatory states. A taxable subject who is not resident in one of these states will not be able to benefit from the provisions of the conventions.

Thus, the legislators in various legislative acts impose new and new regulations with a nature of environmental protection, it becomes difficult to identify whether, being incorporated in the text of a certain law, a certain legal norm, belongs to environmental law or, it is a norm that belongs to the field which in substance represents the regulatory object of this law. In other words, it is often quite difficult to determine the boundary of environmental law regulations, especially since the norms of this branch are not always compactly found in environmental legislative acts. Methodology: It must be recognized that the legal mechanisms for environmental protection change their appearance over time, becoming much more aggressive and relentless. They are often used without taking into consideration certain traditional rules and presumptions that often do not ensure effective protection of the environment. In such cases, it is necessary to understand that the regulatory mechanisms for environmental protection are a component of environmental law, even if they are based in other legislative acts and even if they are very similar to the mechanisms used in the regulation of other categories of legal relations Findings: The lack of a clear procedure means that the environmental legislation remains unenforced. Although in other countries the problem of environmental protection has been raised to a much more important level, including the fact that objective and joint liability is established for damage caused to the environment.
Budget Balance Within The Constitutional Framework Of The Member States Of The European Union
Authors: Zaporojan Veaceslav
Published: July 2024

The constitutional regulation of the budgetary balance requirements, from the lack of numerical fiscal rules to the institutional constraints regarding the rationalization of decision-making processes and budgetary procedures within the European Union, varies in different member states. It depends on the economic situation and the economic context both nationally and internationally. Classical constitutionalism aims at the established limits of political power through the supreme norms of the constitution, it becomes insufficient for the establishment of legal norms to limit economic excesses. The constitutional norms set further limits, a fact that sets limits to the budget decision-making process and public spending. The economic requirement of the budget balance is taken over at the constitutional level in the EU member states, it is applied through the internal legal regulation based on the constitutional norms according to the European legislation. In the perspective of the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the EU, the legislation of the Union cannot be implemented immediately in the national constitutional framework, especially the budgetary one. The European regulatory package required member states to form institutions modelled after the Fiscal Council in Germany, specialized in formulating macroeconomic forecasts and monitoring compliance with the budget balance established by the European Union, coordinated by the European Fiscal Board, mandated to independently evaluate the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact.

Authors: Codreanu Alina
Published: July 2024

At national level, the development of the concept of public procurement involves a transparent path, based on the achievement of specific principles, objectives, methods and procedures. In this respect, the European directives applicable to public procurement involve certain principles absolutely necessary to be followed when performing public procurement contracts themselves. Therefore, we mention the role and importance of the correct application of principles such as: non-discrimination, equal treatment, proportionality, mutual recognition, the principle of transparency, the principle of avoiding unfair competition, accountability, impartiality, confidentiality. The aim of the study is to identify the importance and relevance of these principles governing public procurement from the first to the last stage of their implementation. Therefore, the general consequences of violation of the above-mentioned principles, irregularities, but also fraud in public procurement are conclusive. At the same time, we cannot fail to mention that these principles determine the approaches of public procurement, namely: administrative, managerial, legal, economic, systemic and, of course, ecological. The research methods are: observation, comparative analysis, co-relational analysis, analogy, induction and deduction, prediction, generalization, didactic and practical experience, but also other modern methods of study. Research results: The general principles governing the entire spectrum of public procurement, at national level, are finding more and more application, or the harmonization of legislation in the field of public procurement is an important premise for the continuous development of public-private partnerships. Undoubtedly, the reform in the field of public procurement is one of the major priorities of the Republic of Moldova, which will contribute to ensuring a better functioning of the market economy, combating corruption, strengthening integration efforts in the European Union and achieving optimal capitalization in terms of goods and services purchased by a wide range of public institutions.

The Regionalization of Interdependencies in the World Economy
Authors: Chistruga Boris
Published: July 2024

The global economy operates within a intricate web of interconnectedness among its participants, necessitating continual adaptation—a crucial imperative in the modern era. Numerous factors contribute to or impede the harmonization of international economic relations, particularly concerning the development of production factors. Hyperglobalization stands out as a positive force, fostering unprecedented prosperity from 1990 to 2008. Conversely, global crises represent a starkly negative aspect, precipitating the economic downturn we currently face and stalling the expansion of global interdependencies in recent times. The dual challenges of the pandemic crisis and Russia's invasion of Ukraine loom large, threatening to setback global economic progress by several decades. Within this context, this article endeavors to identify strategies for addressing the complexities of interdependency within the global economic system, specifically by focusing on enhancing regional economic potential while still acknowledging the importance of the global dimension. This approach does not advocate for forsaking global interconnectedness; rather, it suggests fostering a more organized alignment of interdependencies and production forces at the regional level, promoting global values through integration and peaceful adaptation to change. Simultaneously, it advocates for the development of robust global systems, institutions, and norms. This paradigm shift would introduce a new regional dimension to economic development strategies worldwide. The article critically examines the transition from a global to a regional focus—a predominant trend in the current global economic landscape—and assesses its impact on aligning interdependencies and production forces. A pertinent question arises: Can the expansion of BRICS with six new members serve as an exemplar of this adjustment, or might it exacerbate global instability by heightening tensions between established entities like the OECD and the BRICS, or between the G7 and the E7?

Published: July 2024

The new world, where artificial intelligence is applied in every industry and aspect of life, is already becoming second nature to us. Strengthen the penetration of all the company’s business operations to withstand competitive pressures. Its impact is also apparent. The increasing importance of the added value of your application is being widely discussed, yet there is little discussion on how to measure it. This essay seeks to address this disparity. It raises the question of how to determine the indirect added value of artificial intelligence in the businesses that utilize it. In order to achieve this, we propose a model based on three main factor groups: cognitive elements, which influence how AI is perceived; behavioral elements, which affect behavior when using AI; and environmental variables, which impact laws governing the adoption or regulation of AI. The indirect value added by the application of AI is calculated by the organization’s management using numerical expressions for each set of elements.

Functions and their graphic presentation are some of the most widely used tools in various economic analyses of a business. After a graph is drawn, it is necessary to interpret it correctly in order to accurately assess the situation of the industrial company. The types of functions presented in the paper are viewed in terms of their application in economic analysis. A study of a particular firm has been made, the obtained data has been presented in table form and the graphic approach has been used to depict their functions. The authors have drawn conclusions and have made recommendations.

Undoubtedly, the traditional sectors are in not competitive position with other sectors in Industry 5.0 conditions. Digital companies receive better staff and get more money from the bank and have better possibilities for projects. But, what could do they to be more competitive in the digital Era? The main hypothesis is that “traditional” producers has to change their main activities to be competitive in the digital era. Thus, the paper research possible elements of their competitiveness based on Intelligent specialization strategies. Thus, the main results of the paper are focused on summarizing roadmap to competitiveness by smart specialization. Main instruments used in the paper are: literature review and case-study approach for analyzing the competitive instruments that textile companies could accept. Findings in the paper could be connected with the competitive growth theories.
MINERAL PARAGENESIS OF EARLY BIOTITE VEINS AT THE KUH-E JANJA Cu-Au PORPHYRY DEPOSIT, SOUTHEASTERN IRAN: IMPORTANCE OF MICROTEXTURAL OBSERVATIONS IN STUDIES CONSTRAINING THE RELATIVE TIMING OF HYPOGENE Cu MINERALIZATION

Veins consisting primarily of biotite are the earliest stockwork vein type recognized at the Kuh-e Janja Cu-Au porphyry deposit in southeastern Iran. These early biotite veins may contain quartz and minor amounts of sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite and pyrite. Observations at the hand-specimen scale do not provide reliable constraints on the paragenetic relationships, as the early biotite veins have been repeatedly overprinted during the evolution of the magmatic-hydrothermal system. Microscopic investigations show that the sulfide minerals in the early biotite veins are texturally late, providing evidence that sulfide deposition did not occur at the high temperatures of biotite formation and potassic alteration of the host rocks. Chalcopyrite primarily occurs along hairline fractures that crosscut or refracture the earlier biotite veins. Biotite in contact with the chalcopyrite can be apparently unaltered or is replaced by chlorite, depending on the degree of wall-rock buffering of the magmatic-hydrothermal fluids that caused hypogene Cu mineralization. The findings add to the growing body of evidence that Cu mineralization in this deposit type occurs at temperatures close to the transition from ductile to brittle conditions (<450°C) following a drop in the pressure regime from lithostatic to hydrostatic conditions.
Sleep and mental health of current and retired athletes across playing status and level of competition

Sleep and mental health problems are common in athletic cohorts; however, our knowledge is limited to current, elite athletes. We attempted to compare the symptomology of sleep and mental health problems across different playing statuses and competition levels. An online survey was completed by 946 adults from 37 sports (52.3% women) in seven countries. Athletes were currently competing, retired from competition (<20 years ago), or temporarily unable to play (i.e. injury/season postponed), from all competition levels. Retired athletes were at greater risk of sleep disordered breathing than current athletes (OR=2.30, 95% CI[1.66,3.20]) and those unable to play (OR=1.83, 95% CI[1.07,3.13]. Retired athletes (OR=1.54, 95% CI[1.11,2.15]) and those unable to play (OR=2.15, 95% CI[1.36,3.39]) were at greater risk of compromised wellbeing than current athletes. Sports institute/university/college level and semi-professional athletes were at greater risk of anxiety than professional athletes (OR=2.82, 95% CI[1.29, 6.17]; OR=2.38, 95% CI[1.10, 5.16]), respectively. Current and retired athletes had comparable risk of sleep difficulty, depression, and anxiety, while retired athletes were at the greatest risk for sleep apnoea, reflecting previous literature. Foreclosure of sport may explain reduced wellbeing in retired and temporarily unable to compete athletes. Emerging athletes were at elevated risk for depression and anxiety, with distinct barriers and stressors to elite athletes. The high risk prevalence observed has significant implications for the assessment and identification of sleep and mental health issues in athletic populations, highlighting the importance of intervention and prevention strategies. Findings underscore the necessity for longitudinal research, increased transparency from sporting organisations, and enhanced support during and beyond athletic careers.
