Primena informacione tehnologije u turizmu donosi brojne prednosti svim učesnicima u lancu turističke ponude. Tradicionalne turističke agencije se putem interneta orijentišu i na online poslovanje. S druge strane, internet utiče na smanjenje uloge posredovanja turističkih agencija. Predmet istraživanja u radu je primena interneta u poslovanju turističkih agencija u cilju unapređenja marketinških performansi. Cilj istraživanja je uticaj kvaliteta internet ponude turističkih agencija na razvoj odnosa sa kupcima i unapređenje imidža turističkih agencija koje posluju u Republici Srbiji. Rezultati istraživanja u radu su pokazali da viši nivo kvaliteta internet ponude agencija pozitivno utiče na lojalnost kupaca, kao i na imidž agencije. Poslovni uspeh turističkih agencija se bazira na kombinovanom pristupu tradicionalnog i online poslovanja.

Industries create specific business settings that exert a backward influence on industry prospects. In this paper, the manner in which two industries – the construction industry and the food and beverage processing industry – have behaved during a crisis period is examined and compared. First, the performance indicators available from statistic sources are compared; then, the panel data of the two subsamples of the largest Croatian firms in terms of capital and employment related to construction and food processing in the period 2005-2014 are subjected to comparison. The provided data demonstrate that the five largest business firms in the two industries have a tendency to employ different business behaviors specific to the industry they are part of. The basic idea behind this research was that industry characteristics are created by individual business firms through their adjusting their behavior, i.e. strategies, organizational design and operation models to perceived industry settings. So, in the longer time period, depending on resource availability at the firm level and the market opportunities in the industry, a dominant pattern of the business model will evolve. The research showed differences in the rate of the activity and business demography during the observed period. There is also evidence of different business models being employed in construction and food processing. However, at this stage of our research, we have not been able to establish a relationship between the business model employed and the firm´s or industry performance.

Finansijski posrednici imaju ključnu ulogu u povezivanju štednje i investicija. Budući da efikasan transfer štednje u investicije otežavaju transakcioni i informacioni troškovi, finansijski posrednici su specijalzovani da minimiziraju navedene troškove po jedinici uloženog kapitala. Oni su, takođe, osposobljeni da identifikuju produktivne i inovativne investicione poduhvate koji doprinose rastu realnog output-a. Rast realnog output-a predstavlja bazu za uvećanje fiansijskog potencijala, što čini osnovu za razvoj finansijskih posrednika. S tim u vezi, pored analize relevantnih činilaca koji otežavaju proces mobilizacije i transfera štednje, u radu se razmatraju teorijski modeli koji stavljaju naglasak na odnos između efikasnosti finansijskog posredovanja i ekonomskog rasta. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da unapređenje poslovanja finansijskih posrednika omogućava brži ekonomski rast. Istovremeno, rast privredne aktivnosti povećava obim poslovanja finansijskih posrednika. Zahvaljujući efektima ekonomije obima koji doprinose smanjenju transakcionih i informacionih troškova, raste efikasnost finansijskog posredovanja.

The business community is a social force which has had a great influence on all aspects of life and the socioeconomic conditions of every country. In the context of today’s globalization, particularly in international economic integration and the multi-cultural business climate, the current study will offer a theoretical model of entrepreneurial culture in order to identify, measure and evaluate the essential entrepreneurial culture of the business community. The paper introduces an entrepreneurial culture model through a cultural value system approach. The value system approach, also known as the table of cultural stratification values, helps model the entrepreneurial culture created by value factors. Such factors can be measured, they are easy to reproduce and help identify the strengths and weaknesses of the business community.

Razvoj modela za unapređenje poslovnih procesa u e-lancima snabdevanja podrazumeva primenu procesnog pristupa i metodologija za razvoj informacionih sistema, i obuhvata dizajn modela zahteva, logički dizajn modela ključnih procesa sa definisanim tokovima informacija unutar logičkih podsistema, logički dizajn modela podataka, logički dizajn modela mreže i distribucije podataka, kao i logički dizajn modela interface-a za potrebe različitih korisnika. Pri tome korišćene su različite metode i tehnike za različite faze razvoja menadžment informacionog sistema, upravljanje poslovnim procesima, upravljanje performansama poslovnih procesa i analitički hijerarhijski proces kao metod višekriterijumskog odlučivanja. U radu su analizirani poslovni procesi i različiti tipovi lanaca snabdevanja u automobilskoj industriji kao predstavniku složenih sistema. Izabrani su ključni poslovni procesi i ključni indikatori performansi poslovnih procesa na bazi kojih je razvijen model analitičkog hijerarhijskog procesa i vršena njihova optimizacija. Rezultat rada je model menadžment informacionog sistema za unapređenje ključnih poslovnih procesa u e-lancima snabdevanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da se kroz unapređenje performansi poslovnih procesa u e-lancima snabdevanja, primenu razvijenog modela za unapređenje ključnih poslovnih procesa, kao i primenu Web baziranih informaciono-komunikacionih rešenja utiče na efikasnost i kvalitet e-lanaca snabdevanja.

In this paper, we construct the six criterion layers evaluation index system of new urbanization, including population urbanization, land urbanization, economic urbanization, social urbanization, ecological civilization and overall planning of urban and rural areas. We use the horizontal and vertical levels of the grade method in order to determine the weight of each index, and then calculate the quality of the urbanization process at the provincial level in 2004-2013. The result shows that the overall comprehensive
evaluation index of China has a trend of rising volatility. The quality of new urbanization has continuously been improving since 2004; the new urbanization process, however, shows significant differences between the regions and specific performances: eastern urbanization level is the highest, whereas the western is the lowest. The evaluation index, however, increases steadily during the studied period and the gap with other regions gradually narrows.

The aim of this study is to examine the long-term relationship between each pair of the countries separate from those in the Stock Markets of Fragile Five Countries and determine the optimal portfolio options for each of the BIITS countries according to the pieces of evidence obtained. Thus, the reflection of the concertedness among financial markets to the optimal portfolio options has been studied. Accordingly, long term relationships between each pair of BIITS countries have been investigated with monthly price value between June 2006 and July 2015 by means of Maki Cointegration Test. Optimal portfolio options have been established according to the Markowitz Model considering the long-term relationships between the markets. The pieces of evidence obtained show that lower-risk portfolios than the ones in their own national markets can be established in BIITS countries by applying international diversification.
