Exploring the Concept of Crisis in Businesses: a Critical Step in the Formulation and Implementation of Crisis Management
Authors: Muşetescu Radu-Cristian , Shayb Hezi-Aviram 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
After an initial period of ignorance of the phenomenon of crises that are experienced by businesses, a fast expanding literature is approaching this issue. However, the present authors perceive a lack of commonly agreed conceptualization and taxonomy in debating the situations when companies are facing difficulties. We explore in this paper how economic theory and management knowledge could assist escaping such challenging contexts. We argue that a narrow focus on financial indicators of the company is critical for any business decision targeting the restructuring and reorganization but the deep causes of the challenging context should be identified. We argue that crisis management has in common principles and approaches with risk management but the delimitation should be made clear. There may be organizational crisis when risk management approaches could be employed in order to deal with them but there are many instances when the approach of risk management is insufficient or even not operational. Such circumstances require a real entrepreneurial approach. We advance a coherent system of conceptualizing the crisis and differentiating crisis management from risk management.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this paper, the authors aim to measure the influence of the macroeconomic indicators that characterize a national economy on some key national health indicators. The purpose is to obtain an updated evaluation of the population medical status, under the impact of either growth or economic decline. The analysis focuses especially on Romania but also on other countries, to be able to investigate comparatively national indicators and trends. Multiple data sources have been used for an in-depth analysis, to fit in an appropriate manner the purpose of the study. Static and econometric data analysis software was applied on primary data, as analysis instruments. The correlation coefficient and the regression were the tools used to obtain the study conclusions. We start from the premise that the potential of statistic data sources, combined with the processing power of the data analysis tools would be able to lead to the best result. We have also reviewed the previous studies performed on the same topic and, along with our data, the obtained conclusions should have a certain value and interest not only for current needs and utilization, but also for future researches. The authors are aware of the direct influence between the macroeconomic status (or performance) indicators and the indicators that characterize the health of the population, and will attempt to measure the intensity of this impact on several key selected domains.
Product versus Celebrity – An eye-tracking experiment for the determination of the attention-catcher in advertising
Authors: Nistoreanu Puiu , Pelau Corina , Lazar Laura 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Celebrity endorsement has been frequently used in advertising as consumers are attracted and tend to imitate the behavior of the star. In the past years, celebrities have been a frequent mean of attracting the attention of the consumer towards an advertising. In an era with an over-load of information and ads, the glamour of the celebrities has had the power to increase the visibility of the advertised product. Besides the positive effects which celebrities bring to an increase of attention of the consumers, their endorsement can also have negative consequences. One of these undesired effects is the overshadowing of the advertised product by the celebrity. Consumers will have the tendency to watch the celebrity for a longer time and their attention is distracted from the advertised product. In an eye-tracking experiment we analyze the fact that the celebrity might distract the attention of the consumer from the advertised product and its logo. The results have shown that the participants have the tendency to watch the logo of a product for a longer time in advertising without celebrities. In opposition to this, in advertising endorsing celebrities, the attention is caught by the celebrity.

Authors: Pop Nicolae Al. , Baba Cristina Andrada , Anysz Raluca Năstate 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The drive for sensational, adventurous and unique experience is a growing tendency in contemporary society. Services adapt to this demand and communication is a main tool of support for these redefined services. Communication can redefine every known type of service by shaping expectations regarding interaction among parties, place of action, time of use, management methods, results and purpose of the information. The mass tourism is evolving into a variety of forms and one of the segments growing in importance is the Adventure tourism which requires, along with the complex and demanding activity, a more specific and canalized interaction on all levels and in all stages. The perception of an activity or a place, the gained support, the safety measures, emergency situations and general opinion are results of the marketing communication. This study observes the Adventure market in terms of reasons, types and trust, by leading a qualitative exploratory research and in-depth interviews with 18 actors and participants and expressing ways of adequate addressing. Romania is a newcomer on the Adventure tourism market and provides opportunities to test approaches.
Improving the lean logistic operations management in transportation by introducing the RFID system
Authors: Popescu Mihaela Cornelia 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) gained a lot of attention lately, due to the technology revolution, namely the IoT of things, which allowed a wide range of applications in the manufacturing and service sectors. The research reflects the importance of using the RFID tracking system in the supplier’s distributions operations, by reducing the level of inventories’ movement, increasing accuracy in depicting in a timely manner the shipping freight, with no paperwork inaccuracies. In this regard, the methodology is based on a semi-structured interview with managers of transportation companies who have provided information of the transportation performance in both cases of use or not use of the RFID technology. The paperwork mistakes and shipping delay were the indicators registered. In this matter, SPSS quantitative methods, Pearson correlation and linear regressions have been applied. The tables reveal the strong bivariate correlation between the RFID systems, paperwork mistakes and shipment delays. The regression analysis underlines the positive strong correlation between paperwork inaccuracies and shipment delays which means that an increase in document mistakes will lead to a certain amount of time increase in shipping processes.
New Energy Policies for Smart Cities - a Comparison among Smart Cities in the European Union
Authors: D’ascenzo Fabrizio , Tantau Adrian , Savastano Marco , Şanta Ana-Maria Iulia 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Given the current challenges of climate change our society is dealing with at a global level, the European Union develops a new energy policy based on clean energy. The package “Clean Energy for All Europeans”, which has been adopted by the European Commission in 2016, contains measures for a new energy policy at the level of the European Union, based on promoting an Energy Union by following a harmonized framework and common objectives. Considering this European policy debate an interesting topic, the present paper deals with the research question what will be the reaction of the business environment to the energy policy measures proposed by the European Commission in terms of innovation. Indeed, it focuses on innovative solutions based on clean energy, that will arise for achieving the three dimensions of social, economic and environmental sustainability, such as smart cities. The initiative of helping the development of smart cities is currently supported by the European Commission in the project “European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities”. Innovative measures are related to new financing schemes for the new projects, as new investments are needed for implementing innovative solutions. Case studies from different Member States of the European Union, e.g. Italy, Austria and Romania, will illustrate the concept of smart cities and their development in the European Union allowing for an in depth analysis and comparison among the different business models implemented. The present work presents a mixed method approach based on the combination of both qualitative research methods, such as multiple-case studies and quantitative methods, represented by the analysis and triangulation of data and indicators provided by European institutions. Furthermore, this study presents a multidisciplinary perspective, considering aspects of European policy, European law, business and economics.
Time to act: discourse on time in crowdfunding for social entrepreneurship project
Authors: Stan Oana Mara , Fanea-Ivanovici Mina 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The context of public governance outsourcing social services and constantly downshifting its role creates the premises for increasing impact of crowdsourced social entrepreneurship and grassroots mobilization. The study envisions the innovative concept of social entrepreneurship by crowdfunding through a sports event, with Swimathon as study case, where most of Romanian NGOs are active to promote their calls for fundraising. Swimmer-participants are fundraisers who take on a challenge (e.g. swimming a target distance) with the aim to raise funds, in teams, for the causes they support. This fundraising event involves donors in a participative setting that combines short-term volunteering and crowdfunding. The research aims to understand practices by which crowdfunding projects grouped into categories navigate constructs on time. The ensuing research questions are as follows: What typology of time orientation do crowdfunding projects in the Romanian landscape of sports-oriented social entrepreneurship display? What do they shift, reshape, and build on in terms of time agency, time management and time empowerment? The current study seeks to uncover and chart patterns of time-bound discursive strategies that aim to attract donors for crowdfunding projects in Romania. It brings forth questions of power and influence, by explaining and synthesizing the variety of manners in which trade-offs and synergies and modelled and mapped. The thematic analysis of fundraising calls for action is structured two-fold, namely: the denotative and the connotative dimension of time. The first component reveals time agency, time use and time management as keynote discursive trends, whereas the second reveals the following categories: time and emotion, quality time and time pressure. Metaphors of time used in the discourse over sustainability appeared coupled with pressure to intervene fast. Findings gathered by connotative discourse analysis induce the idea of grassroots mobilization and individual agency to the forefront, whereas social structures of institutional support are afforded background importance. The study ends with a discussion on implications of using time cues for emerging trends in the build-up process of Romanian crowdfunding projects.
Setting up a new business – evidence from a business administration faculty
Authors: Segal Tatiana 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In the last decades, entrepreneurship in all of its complexity, as a basis for sustainable development, has become a major concern for a variety of socio-economic agents: legislative systems, production systems represented by entrepreneurs from all economic sectors, and education and research systems. As a result, numerous fields of studies which aim to develop an entrepreneurial spirit among youth and to prepare students for entrepreneurship have been introduced in the educational curricula starting with high school. One of the missions of the Faculty of Business Administration in foreign languages (FABIZ) from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies is to ensure that students gain the competencies and abilities necessary for being able to open a business and become interested in a career as entrepreneurs. However, discussions with the students from FABIZ showed that only a small percentage of students are planning or have already become entrepreneurs (approximately 5% which, for some researchers such as Fayolle and Filion (2016) is considered an optimal figure). This study aims to explore the degree to which FABIZ students, with a focus on the French section, are entrepreneurs or, at least, are interested to become entrepreneurs in the near future and to analyse their fields of interests, hopes and fears, i.e. their perception of their own career.
A Comparative Study of the Gap Between De-Jure and De-Facto Language Policies: The Case of Kyrgyzstan and Hungary
Authors: Mambetaliev Askar 
Published: December 2019

Summary
The purpose of this study was to find the main factors that guide language policies and discover correlations between top-down and bottom-up ideologies in the context of Hungary and Kyrgyzstan. To accomplish this, the study created a database of relevant official documents, photos of linguistic landscapes and qualitative data. The study analyzed the documented top-down decisions from historical perspectives, and then compared them with the data collected from interviews and surveys, and from the collection of photos. The participants included both high-ranking political figures, professors, students and random citizens. Results showed that the official policies often do not comprehensively match with the people’s beliefs, attitudes and desires. Findings also imply that using either document analysis, or the method of linguistic landscape, or qualitative methods alone, might not sufficiently validate the results in the absence of each other, since errors may top up from various discrepancies between top-down and bottom-up arrangements, as well as from overt and covert ideologies.

Syntactic Aspects of Lithuanian-Spanish Translation of Fiction and Scientific Texts
Authors: Dugo Carmen Caro 
Published: December 2019

Summary
Translators, linguists and translation researchers often have to deal with subtle and sometimes complex syntactical aspects involved in translation. Properly conveying the structure and rhythm of a sentence or text in another language is a difficult task that requires a good understanding of syntactical aspects of both the source and the target language. The morphology of Lithuanian verbs and nouns, and specially its system of declensions and cases, without any doubt facilitates a relatively flexible word order. Many linguists also agree that word order in the Spanish sentence is also freer than in French, English or other modern languages. It has often been said that Spanish has the most flexible word order of all Romance languages. However, Spanish word order is by no means as free as in Lithuanian. A comparative study of Lithuanian texts and their translation into Spanish allows a better understanding of the syntactical differences between both languages. This article examines a case of syntactical inversion in Lithuanian: the displacement of the direct object and its location at the beginning of the sentence, and the translation of such sentences into Spanish. In Spanish the direct object usually follows the verb, except in the cases when that function is carried out by pronouns. In order to displace a direct object to the beginning of the sentence, Spanish syntactical structures should be used. In this article two stylistically different Lithuanian texts will be compared with their Spanish translation so as to identify the linguistic means used in each case. A comparative analysis of different types of texts is useful to reveal the Spanish syntactical structures chosen by the translators as well as certain tendencies in each specific context.

Published: December 2019

Summary
This article aims to study the field of sociocultural aspects teaching in the Spanish as foreign language classes in Lithuania and development of intercultural competencies of the students. In the curriculum of the language teaching, is very important the topic of sociocultural behaviours in the different Hispanic communities. The conducted research aimed to analyse how this topic can be studied during the Spanish classes in Lithuania and what is the receptivity of sociocultural elements among the local students. This paper also talks about the intercultural competences of the students, and the process of assimilation of cultural behaviours, which are different from the native culture. In order to achieve the aim, the data collection was carried on among students through observations and interviews in depth, using a qualitative method. The opinions and interpretations of Spanish and Hispanic traditions, celebrations and customs given by the students, were used for the qualitative analysis. The results of the research showed that students’ perception of the Spanish-speaking world contains prejudiced ideas and this is why it is important to include the sociocultural content in the classes of Spanish as a foreign language.
