Business Dynamics in Recovery Times: A Comparative Perspective on Manufacturing Firms’ Performance in the European Union
Authors: Horobet Alexandra , Vrinceanu Georgiana , Popescu Consuela , Belascu Lucian 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Our paper investigates the gaps in performance in the manufacturing sector between Western and Eastern European countries and attempts to analyze how enterprises from these two parts of Europe have tackled recovery after the Global financial crisis of 2007-2009. We uncover the patterns of performance in the after-crisis period and offer insights into the prospects of the manufacturing sector in the European Union, faced nowadays with a new recovery, after the coronavirus crisis. Moreover, we study these patterns in industries with different technological levels. We have selected five performance variables, namely Turnover growth rate, Turnover per employee, Wage-adjusted labor productivity, Gross operating rate, and Investment rate, and employed statistical cluster analysis, which is a multivariate data analysis technique that can detect these patterns in performance, in both its approaches: hierarchical and k-means clustering. Our findings show that the almost perfect groupings of businesses from Western, more developed economies, and Eastern, less developed ones, in all industries, with the notable exception of Portugal, are rather striking, regardless of the technological level of industries. We show that Eastern EU businesses were not the worst performers in the after-crisis period, but rather on the contrary. Certainly, they are smaller in size but have enjoyed higher labor productivity and profitability, as well as higher investment rates in all industries. This points towards a higher dynamism of smaller-sized businesses in general, and Eastern EU located ones, in particular, in the years after the Global financial crisis, which has been reflected in superior performance.
Intuitive and Deliberative Decision-Making in Negotiations
Authors: Zulauf Katrin , Wagner Ralf 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This study departs from common conjecture by challenging the preference for deliberation or intuition, or both, in negotiations. In contrast to prior negotiation studies considering judgment precision, this study builds on underlying personality traits. Therefore, the findings are valid beyond the experimental context. This study conceptualizes and experimentally tests the impact of preference for intuitive and deliberate decision-making during negotiations in Chinese, German, and Polish cultures. Contrasting an emotional with a neutral setting, the paper evaluates the impact preference for intuition and deliberation have on negotiation outcome. The results challenge the frequent assumption made in negotiation analysis: Deliberative negotiators are superior.
The Current Exchange Rate Regimes Effect’s on the Economic Growth: Case Studies of MENA Countries
Authors: Boucheta Yahia , Adouka Lakhdar , Benbayer Habib 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This paper is an attempt to analyze the effects of current exchange rate regimes on the economic growth achieved by the MENA countries. To determine in a dynamic perspective new relationships that will be established between growth and exchange rate regimes, we are looking for an answer to two major concerns, namely: the question of the choice of the exchange rate regime and the question of the impact of this choice on economic performance. To reach our objective we first studied the theoretical and empirical literature of the exchange rate regime and then we had to study the evolution of the exchange rate regime in MENA countries. Then, we got an economic model based on the determinants of growth. The data used on this model takes the form of panel data for 5 MENA countries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia) for the period 1984-2019, as well as, several methods of modeling will be discussed, to finally adopt one from them that best applies to our research goal and shows several possibilities that can be used to apply this model in different ways depending on the country considered. The results reveal that it is very important to take into account the monetary policy framework that accompanies the exchange rate regime when assessing the effects of this regime on the overall performance of the economy.

Authors: Saniuta Adina , Zbuchea Alexandra , Hrib Bogdan 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Today’s dynamic business environment forces companies to differentiate more than ever and focus on gaining long-term competitive advantages through innovation. The book market faces new challenges, mainly related to the shifting behaviour of readers. Innovation might be perceived as a path towards differentiation, attaining competitive advantage, and market success. Understanding the preferences of the readers and knowing the retail innovation trends could help all the decision-making actors of the book market adapt better to the dynamics of contemporary society and the business environment. The present paper aims at identifying the preferences of Romanian readers regarding the innovations employed in the book market retail. To gather the data, we applied an online questionnaire to a sample of 486 respondents from Romania. The main conclusion of the study underlines that the consumers are not necessarily sensitive to technological innovation or an innovative format of the stores but are highly sensitive to the atmosphere in the bookstores and to the special offers of the bookstores.

Authors: Karunarathne Edirisinghe Arachchige Chaminda Prasanna , Thilini Weerasinge Asha 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Social media advertising has become one of the most popular and profitable advertising modes in today’s business world. Thereby, many firms have adopted digital marketing strategies to promote their business and to increase customer purchases. This study was conducted to examine how identified influential factors, namely, Informativeness, Entertainment, and Irritability, affect social media advertising value and find the ultimate implication on customer’s purchase intention. An online questionnaire was developed and used as a survey instrument to gather the required information from social media users. Relevant research hypotheses were developed and tested using structured equation modelling to identify targeted relationships. The analysis results indicate a more substantial implication of advertising value on customer purchase intention. It implies customers’ positive perception of the advertisement; nevertheless, irritability generates a negative effect. Though the informative components and entertainment acts of promotion had a positive impact on Advertising Value, a more substantial implication was recognized through customers’ evaluation of the entertainment content of those advertisements. Further, the more significant importance of advertising value on brand image and purchase intention was identified through the analysis. The study contributes by identifying needed actions in advertised content to gain customers’ attention through social media advertisements. Further, the model presented confirms the requirement of an effective social media advertising strategy to gain more significant benefit to the firm by enhancing advertising value. Firms need to express a more profound concern about advertised content and repetition frequency since the irritating perception of customers can weaken the advertising value of social media advertisements.
How Shopping was Transformed from Offline to Online Space - A Case Study within the Slovak Republic
Authors: Nahalkova Tesarova Eva , Krizanova Anna 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The prognosis and determination of consumer behavior is not an easy process. As part of the development of consumer behavior as the last member of the B2C market in the distribution channel, one can observe the gradual decline of brick-and-mortar stores and the rise of online shopping for several decades, especially the enormous growth of online shopping over the last two years caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it should be noted that many retailers offer their products simultaneously in brick-and-mortar stores and also through the e-shop. The main purpose of the article is to determine the dependence of spent funds on the basis of individual criteria. The primary data were obtained by conducting a questionnaire survey, in which we determined the amount of spent funds for traditional and online retail shopping. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, followed by an analysis of the dependencies of the variables using the Kruskal-Wallis’s test and one-way ANOVA. The results show that, apart from gender, the other factors examined do not affect the amount of spent money. Due to the absence of published academic literature and empirical findings concerning the behavior of retail trade format selection in the Slovak market, this study may serve as a starting point for future studies in this area of interest. The survey is also relevant for retailers in terms of format development and reorientation of marketing strategies.
Intrinsic Incentives for Online Business Reviews: Driving Knowledge Transfer Across Businesses
Authors: Gingioveanu Lupulescu Grigoras Mihnea , Zamfir Francisca-Elena 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The present paper aims to analyze business-to-business feedback, where managers and customers provide reviews for partners or client organizations, as this practice has become increasingly common in the present business environment. However, the intrinsic motivations that drive managers and individuals to engage in this practice are not yet fully understood. Previous research has highlighted potential reasons for issuing feedback, but our study highlights some new perspectives on the significance of online reviews, the reasons why individuals issue them, and their potential impact on the decision-making process of consumers and business partners. Our findings suggest that improving customer service and interactions is essential for encouraging positive reviews. Our data also indicate that age might play a crucial role in attitudes toward leaving online reviews. Older individuals appear to perceive their reviews to be more objective and fairer, while younger individuals are more easily convinced by the opinions of others. The frequency of leaving reviews can also vary a lot depending on the age of the individual, possibly due to a lack of time or belief that their opinion may not have any valuable impact on other people’s lives or decisions. One of the most significant factors that encourage individuals to offer feedback is good interaction with a company representative, highlighting the importance of customer service. The possibility of obtaining a discount and the quality of services and products offered were also important factors in the business-to-business review exchange. Although the data collected is based on a relatively small sample size and may not be representative of the wider population, this study provides valuable insights into the behavior of those who issue online reviews and can contribute to future research directions in this area.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Customer relationship management (CRM) became one of the marketing practices that is assumed to bring success to companies in recent years. Therefore, the present research aims to identify the level of development of CRM in the top ten consumer goods companies as ranked at world level in 2021. Different models describe components of the CRM and the present research uses the theoretical framework proposed by Sin et al. (2005) that comprises four CRM dimensions: key customer focus, CRM organization, knowledge management and technology-based CRM. The methodology employed includes documentary research based on the public information available on the websites of the selected companies. Two types of analyses are conducted, descriptive analysis and comparative analysis. On overall, the dimension that is the most visible is the key customer focus, while the dimension that is the least visible is CRM organization. The results reveal that CRM is present in all top ten companies, but at different levels of development. US companies are more oriented towards CRM than companies originating from other countries. Companies that have a more developed CRM act in the direction of all four CRM dimensions.

Authors: Borkowski Grzegorz , Młynarczyk Adam , Plichta Artur , Tritt Remigiusz 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The determination of a lake or natural watercourse shoreline is the subject of various administrative proceedings relating to, among others, the engineering of riverbeds, construction of hydro-technical facilities, remediation work, land division, or delimitation of parcels. The provisions of law, while laying out the rules for determining shorelines, do not explicitly specify the measurement method to follow. All the more so, as many shores of lakes and watercourses are among terrain details that are difficult to measure due to their varied accessibility, which depends on the terrain, vegetation, and water conditions. The purpose of this paper is to compare selected methods for determining the shoreline of watercourses and lakes in terms of their applicability under different environmental conditions under current legislation. This study comprises an assessment of the suitability of the applied methods of shoreline measurement under varying field conditions and their applicability in surveying work on shoreline determination. Surveys were conducted on 3 reservoirs and one watercourse using geodetic, photogrammetric, and remote sensing techniques, and the suitability of the various methods was evaluated with respect to the field conditions of the measurements.

Humanizm konfucjański. Zarys problematyki
Authors: Nowosad Sławomir 
Published: March 2024

Artykuł przedstawia istotne elementy wizji humanistycznej w świetle założeń filozofii konfucjańskiej. Autor wielokrotnie odwołuje się do Dialogów Konfucjusza oraz do wypowiedzi jego najważniejszych spadkobierców – Mencjusza i Xunzi, jak również do współczesnej literatury przedmiotu. W tekście najpierw uwaga koncentruje się na rozumieniu wspólnej wszystkim ludziom samej natury ludzkiej, którą konfucjaniści różnie oceniali – jako dobrą lub złą, ale zawsze podległą formacji i doskonaleniu. Właśnie człowiek moralnie doskonały (junzi), charakteryzujący się zwłaszcza cnotami dobroczynności i miłości, zasługuje na miano osoby. W odróżnieniu od tradycji zachodniej konfucjanizm widzi ludzką podmiotowość i wartość nie tyle w racjonalności, ile w dojrzałości moralnej, wyrażającej się w autentycznej życzliwości i spolegliwości. Ten akcent z kolei pozwala dostrzec nieodzowny społeczny wymiar człowieczeństwa, który ujawnia się i kształtuje przede wszystkim w rodzinie, a następnie oddziałuje na całe społeczeństwo. W końcu artykuł wyjaśnia wspólne pochodzenie i współzależność człowieka, świata (wszechświata) i nieba. Ponieważ filozofia ta nie odwołuje się do nadprzyrodzoności czy do Boga, ani nie posiada żadnego mitu o stworzeniu, cała jej wizja humanistyczna jawi się jako świecka, jakkolwiek, przynamniej według niektórych autorów, niepozbawiona całkowicie swoiście rozumianego wymiaru transcendentnego.
