ISI Publications Management Through Performance Indicators

The paper proposes to describe the ways in which the research management and administration department from a certain institution can interfere with specific policies in order to increase the visibility of scientific publications. Scientometric analysis is made on ISI publications of “Constantin Brancsi” University from Targu Jiu and wants to reveal performance indicators able to monitor the visibility of the papers indexed in ThomsonReuters ISI base.scientometric analysis, Web of Science, performance indicators, h-index

PARADIGMS OF THE e-ECONOMY. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROMANIA

The new economy or e-Economy represents the surging of growth generated since the end of the 1991-2000 decade by New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC). Consequently, the shift to the knowledge-based economy has triggered significant structural mutations in the GDP evolution, such as: the prices cutback, changes on the labor market (unemployment rate decrease), the multi-factor productivity strengthening etc. The most meaningful are the modifications occurred in the international environment and in the mix politics in the United States of America. Strangely enough, the shift to NTIC finds our country in a quite advantageous position, in the sense that the generalized crisis may be overcome by investing in NTIC; the resources are at hand, except for the capital for the non-involvement of the national economy into large industries that feature new technologies, but rather morally worn out.NTCI; open source; knowledge-based economy; multifactor productivity

Guidelines for creating an authentic virtual enterprise in Romania

The main goal of this paper is to propose a mathematical model which can be easily used by the strategic managers of any organisation that initiates a virtual enterprise in Romania. Therefore, the first step is to identify the main characteristics a potential partner in such a specific supply chain must have. These characteristics can vary depending on the specific of the company and its position in the chain of the virtual enterprise. Some of these characteristics are mandatory requirements, some are optional requirements. We strongly advice that the mandatory requirements are observed, even when the process of gathering these data and/or information proves to be difficult. The optional requirements mentioned in the model provide a general framework as to what should be expected from a potential partner and can be changed according to the particular needs. These requirements are then inserted into a mathematical model, adaptable, flexible, customizable. The model is adaptable because it allows to insert certain issues of interest and to eliminate the unnecessary or irrelevant ones, it is flexible due to the possibility to change weights according to the relative importance of each feature and it is customizable since is based on questionnaires which are designed by each agent company, according to its specific needs. This model is based on actual observation of the Romanian market.virtual enterprise, virtual enterprise potential partners evaluation, vertical integration, extended enterprise potential partners evaluation, virtual enterprise metrics, virtual enterprise broker

Aid for regional development

The issue of regional development has captured the attention of researchers long UMA, but some trends in contemporary economy and international division of labor, cooperation, integration and globalization bring it back to the forefront of current theoretical and methodological concerns. Especially the process of European integration requires comprehensive and pragmatic approach, realistic subject (2, 3, 4).  

Difficulties in the collection of data and information in Romania

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the difficulties encountered by any person or company when searching for valuable information on the official sites of the ministries or state institutions, using the available search keys. At the same time, the paper states the necessity to design a new, comprehensive database, with another two keys (one primary and one secondary), in order to better assist the search effort. The data and information contained in this database should be accurate, supplied in a timely manner and against small or no fees. At the same time, the level of the information supplied as result of the search should strictly observe the present regulation regarding the privacy of data and information in the European Union.

Positive evolution in economic forecasting. Case study: the evolution of a company’s capital

For the economic sciences, mainly for the planning and organization disciplines, the models display a range of varieties.  For the last decades, though, the mathematics-based models seem to be the trend, partly because of their ability to rigorously concentrate the essentials and also to be programmed via the computer-based techniques, thus creating together an unheard of instrument of scientific investigation, a resourceful ‚extension’ of human intelligence.The article herein presents certain medium-term prognosis, via the dynamic modelling, elements of bifurcation theory and the Xpp software.  The case study has been the object of a research contract with the business environment.
