Abstract
It is undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious problems to education on a global scale, as well as to health systems and national economies. As a result, governments around the world have had to make extraordinary efforts to solve the various problems encountered not only in the area of health and the economy, but also in education. In terms of education, the changes include, but are not limited to, curriculum revisions, the provision of technology resources and infrastructure, changes in the academic calendar, and policies regarding instructional delivery and assessment. To limit the spread of the pandemic, universities, institutes and academic schools had to switch to online education using available educational platforms. This has been reflected in the emergence of numerous publications dealing with the subject. The study aims at the quantitative evaluation of the research carried out and published in the field of e-lerning in the university environment in the context of the pandemic crisis, starting from a comprehensive bibliometric analysis based on Scopus publications. The distribution of published papers in terms of years, authors, institutions, countries, journals, the network of co-authors, co-citations, and the cooccurrence of keywords is discussed. The main conclusions regarding the research trends in the field are drawn. The study represents a useful resource for those interested in the field of e-lerning in the academic environment in the context of COVID-19 that captures the main changes produced in the field and the potential research directions.

Authors: Armășelu Ștefania-Maria , Deselnicu Dana Corina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In recent years, the virtual environment has grown, experiencing new perspectives of use and an increasing number of new users. Older studies showing that the desktop and laptop will be abandoned, and information will be produced and disseminated online via mobile telephone have proven to be relevant, and these things are happening nowadays. This paper highlights a brief analysis of existing management processes and proposes an improvement of the communication process through social media networks in industrial organizations. Social networks have developed a new side, a commercial one, which has changed simple users into real consumers, outlining a new, different nuance of the way of communication. The attitude of social media users is also influenced by other personal characteristics, such as age, gender, job, or time spent on virtual activities.

Authors: Bichel Andreea Nicoleta , Șerban Corina Georgiana , Bujor Dragoș 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Artificial intelligence and robotic process automation are among the next generation of digital technologies that are transforming the workplace and our daily lives. And digital transformation has become a critical strategy for many businesses and their leadership. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, the cornerstone of organizational success is innovation. As the business environment is in perpetual modification and development, it requires businesses to be adaptive to both external and internal factors. The instability of the organizational environment increases the necessity and benefits of employee innovation. The authors analyze the extensive literature defining artificial intelligence, focusing on automation and specifically the role robotic process automation has in increasing organizational efficiency, reducing cost, and ensuring quality. In expanding on the scientific literature surrounding robotic process automation, the article analyses a case study of a Romanian tech company whose complex internal technology ecosystem has resulted in a disconnected landscape which required constant multi-system manual intervention in order to ensure process and data cohesion. The authors present the company’s response to the increased consumption of human capital on repetitive tasks that were increasingly subject to errors, in the form of robotic process automation and levels of machine learning and artificial intelligence. In following the progress of the company towards adopting robotic process automation to increase efficiency, speed, accuracy, and security of processes and tasks, the authors identify the benefits of directing human labor towards more meaningful activities and allowing the repetitive tasks to be shifted to robotic labor. The authors followed the progress of a service technology solutions organization that has established an IT intelligent operation ecosystem, with new strategies across various key departments such as finance, human resources, and Internal Audit, followed by their leadership perspective and thinking for the company's next steps in this case study.
Technical Analysis of RFID and IoT Technologies Integration in Product Recall Digitalization Process
Authors: Cornea Andreea-Alina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The implications of technology in various areas around the world represent a subject of interest for stakeholders belonging to different fields, the favorable results observed over time on the refactored and reinterpreted processes in the digital context being increasingly frequent and visible in their attention. The process of reimagining and reconfiguring activities in a new and innovative way is carried out progressively, in every day-to-day aspect, and their impact on different sectors or environments is measured by how quickly new requirements, preferences, habits or restrictions can be accommodated. The population currently places significantly attention on health by following the products they consume, their composition, the distribution process and also taking into account the presence of the manufacturing company in the public environment and its general perception. Thus, manufacturers currently feel an additional pressure to project a positive image, being forced by the parties involved to implement different programs that can increase their visibility and attract consumers to test the offered products. However, the acquired publicity can be quickly transformed into negative advertising, when there is no absolute control over the management of all processes within the production and distribution chain. In this context, a deeply damaging impact on the company’s image is given by the recall process of a product that is not properly managed. Currently, companies are endeavoring to implement diverse strategies and methodologies regarding the recall process, being receptive to the adoption of digital perspectives and implementing different technologies with the aim of controlling this situation as efficiently as possible.
Thus, one of the approaches subjected to rigorous investigation and analysis in the recent period is represented by the recall process automation through various technologies such as Internet of Things and Radio Frequency Identification, with the aim of instantly locating areas where the products are distributed and sold, in order to notify affected consumers as soon as possible.

Authors: Plesea Doru Alexandru , Petre Adrian , Olaru Stelian Mircea 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze how digitalization can impact the level of competitiveness of those organizations that implement a digitalization strategy and to define the current situation in Romania in terms of the level of competitiveness at the international level and the main associated influencing factors. The research covers, first of all, the critical analysis of the current scientific literature on this topic. In the second part of the paper, we used econometric analysis, statistical data interpretation as well as descriptive analysis. The main results show, on the one hand, a positive and strong correlation between digitalization and competitiveness, and on the other hand the fact that Romania is far behind, in terms of international competitiveness, for reasons not exclusively related to digitalization. The article is a contribution to the specialized literature because it confirms some of the results obtained by other researchers regarding the relationship between innovation and business performance and at the same time proposes concrete measures to improve the level of competitiveness according to the main current issues that we have identified. Our study also presents possible practical implications, both for the academic environment, and for the policymakers and managers involved in the development of the Romanian business sector.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed the Romanian banking sector, which was forced to adapt to digital technologies and to provide accessible banking services for all kinds of custsomers. The corporate social responsibility practices evolved during the pandemic, from general causes to more targeted initiatives, the Romanian banks offering innovative solutions to fight against the health crisis. The present paper provides a good insight in the corporate social responsibility practices before the pandemic and during the COVID-19 crisis, exploring the best practices of the most representative banks in terms of total assets. The investigation covers five years, from 2017 to 2021, and was based on a content analysis of the sustainability reports of the banks from the sample. The data was processed through the MAXQDA software, revealing a clear correspondence between the corporate social responsibility practices of the banks and the theoretical concept of sustainability: Profit – People – Planet. The qualitative analysis was completed by a quantitative investigation based on a questionnaire applied on a sample of 344 respondents. The comparative analysis outlines the moral implications of corporate social responsibility in the COVID-19 unique environment, considering the balance between the individual health of clients/employees and the profit dimension of corporate social responsibility. The paper focuses on the recovery stages of the banking sector after the critical point of restriction measures, emphasizing the clients’ perceptions and attitudes towards digital banking, as a form of social care during pandemic. The banks responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were examined by using a sequential mixed-methods approach, suggesting an amplified economic dimension of corporate social responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic through digital banking services.

Authors: Cîmpan Marius , Pacuraru-Ionescu Catalin-Paul , Borlea Sorin Nicolae , Jansen Adela 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Practically, all the countries of the world have at least one Supreme Audit Institution (SAI), but the organizational model and its attributions are different. Academic literature has identified three major types of models: Westminster, judicial and council, but there are also hybrid or original models. This study evaluates the differences between them and the correlations of each institutional type with economic development, education, political rights, civil liberties, and national cultural variables. Comparisons are made within the institutional theories regarding three types of isomorphism: coercive, mimetic and normative. These isomorphic trends are only partially evidenced by the empirical analysis carried out.
An Overview of ETL Cloud Services: An Empirical Study Based on User’s Experience
Authors: Vines Andreea , Tanasescu Laura 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Cloud technologies are being used more and more by companies in solution development and are able to replace traditional on-premises tools. The purpose of this paper is to provide the approach of IT employees to using different cloud technologies for developing data solutions. The objectives presented are based on two research questions – to determine the main challenges faced in data development and to see which are the most used tools and technologies by employees. The case study created to answer the questions mentioned above, consists of a survey addressed to employees from different companies that work on data development, including data engineers and data architects, and see their preferences for using services from key players in the cloud computing industry. After all responses were analyzed, it was identified that companies prefer to use cloud services instead of on-premises tools. Regarding which cloud provider they want to use, it is subjective as all cloud providers offer different advantages or disadvantages for the data integration solutions they are offering. However, even with all the cloud options and resources available, there are still challenges for big data development around the infrastructure available, data security and governance.
A Study of the Requirements for Online Teaching and Learning in Romanian Schools
Authors: Joga Florentina Ecaterina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled educational institutions to adopt online teaching to continue activity even when distancing was necessary. While the pandemic has had a detrimental impact on education, it has been demonstrated that online learning is superior to learning alone. This paradigm change in the delivery of education has made it possible for online programs to be considered outside of the pandemic. For countries with weak infrastructure in certain locations, which makes it difficult for all children to attend school every day, especially during harsh weather conditions, online learning might be utilized to provide continuous learning for all pupils. It can also be employed in circumstances where illness prevents students from attending class if online teaching is also available. Prerequisites for online teaching can be assessed based on the challenges that schools and pupils encountered during the pandemic. The present study was based on a survey, in which 522 teachers from different categories of Romanian schools participated. Differences in the digital means and attendance to online courses were analyzed based on the school's funding (public vs. private) and the school's environment (rural vs urban). The outcomes have revealed variations based on each of the analyzed categories, which can lead to a better understanding of how schools and students can be supported regarding the integration of technology in the teaching and learning process.

Solipsistic breakthroughs or stymying collectives? Historical duels in August Wilson’s Radio Golf.
Authors: Seda Owen 
Published: July 2023

August Wilson’s place among the most significant chroniclers of African American history through the medium of fictional dramatic narratives is certainly not in doubt. Wilson consummated this through a project to write a cycle of ten plays, each one representing a significant moment in every decade of African American experience during the 20th Century. August Wilson’s ten-play cycle constantly dramatises the historical cross-roads at which African Americans have found themselves as they contemplate which path to take on a ceaseless quest to find prosperity and establish enduring identities of the self in post-emancipation America. Wilson’s plays often set up duels between antagonistic forces that represent the conflict between retaining old ground and identities of the past, and the imperative to break with the past and start afresh.
Coming at the end of Wilson’s ten-play cycle, Radio Golf most poignantly represents these historical duels in ways that are reminiscent of the crisis of consciousness that has persistently assailed African Americans in their quest to make the right historical choices during the 20th Century. This crisis of consciousness, so aptly described by William Du Bois as a form of ‘double consciousness’ makes it difficult for African Americans to make an easy choice at these historical cross-roads. Wilson’s Radio Golf, presents this duel using characters who dramatise the conflict between the incipient solipsism of the American Dream and its attendant possibilities for capitalist breakthroughs on the one hand, and on the other a sense of collective history that could potentially stymy individual progress.
