The role of NGOs in awareness of the Public Private Partnership in the Social Economy in Romania

Economic analysts of Romania launched in 2010 by Mediafax, one of the largest providers of general information and business in Romania, a news report that the financial crisis and global economic braking changed ranking of the largest economies in the world according gross domestic product (GDP) in dollars, and the recession has propelled China in the second position in the world at the expense of Germany and Japan. Through this paper we highlighted a few issues that characterize contemporary Romanian society and propose a new vision for overcoming the limitations of approaches to influence the global economic crisis. A first issue concerns the minimal impact it had in the Romanian economy to adopt the model that tended to be appropriated by the most developed countries of the world, namely knowledge-based competitiveness. Continuous innovation as the main engine of this model, brought a number of advantages but also huge risks. The second issue concerns the adoption in 2010 by the Romanian Parliament of the law 178/2010 on public-private partnerships. The immediate consequences of this law and was a good argument for initiating this study. Another issue concerns the social economy. Can it be made responsible for obtaining encouraging results from test "economic crisis"?social economy, NGOs, public-private partnership, PPP.

ROLE OF TRAINING IN THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY

Today we are witnessing an excessive introduction of nanotechnologies in our lives which brings a number of benefits, the elimination of communication barriers between people, freedom of movement to the acquisition by them of routine activities as well as the emergence of new needs would need continuous training to keep up with them and to reap the full benefits of potential. Division of labor and specialization in the entrepreneurs, the emergence and widespread quality standards, professionalism, teamwork, accountability are just some of the reasons that lead us to believe that, at present, although the activities are generated by individual needs, these cannot be satisfied entirely by a single entity called the individual, household, business or civil societyTraining, Public Services, eLearning, Knowledge Society

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FROM ROMANIA IN THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY AND E-LEARNING

In a recent report published by the International Monetary Fund noted that "after two decades of reform with disastrous performance, Romania has made remarkable progress on stabilization, growth and poverty reduction over the last four years". Lack of economic performance between 1990 and 2000 explains to some extent values for the current state of knowledge society (KS), in Romania. In the report's conclusions on the Information Society in our country state that Romania is behind other countries in Central and Eastern Europe but there is still a rapidly growing presence of mobile phones, Internet use, the use of computers connected to Internet by companies and investment expenditures and equipment and the number of employees in companies using the Internet has doubled in the construction industry and has seen significant growth in trade.Public Administration, Knowledge Society, Information Technologies and Communication Platforms, eLearning

Characteristics of Knowledge-Based Economy and New Technologies in Education

The work aims to investigate some characteristics of a knowledge based economy and on the other hand the new technologies used in education. We recognize the extraordinary technical performance of current electronic systems. But they respond to actual needs of society in education? In this paper we try to answer the following questions: What are the characteristics of knowledge-based economy in terms of education?; What are the new technologies used in education?; What are the major problems in education today?; We can talk about quality education when using electronic training tools?

Public Services as Poles of Regional Competitiveness in Sustainable Development

During the last 2-3 decades regional competitiveness became one of the key concepts used in regional social-economical analysis. Another related term, competitiveness of an economical branch, economical sector or particular industry, is used as an indicator of great importance for the position of the products or services of a specific sector on a market which is more and more crowded. Taking into account the importance of the above mentioned terms, especially the importance granted to them by the Lisbon Agenda, and the fact that a bigger and bigger share of the Gross Domestic Product of a nation is achieved in the field of public services, this work tries to analyze the extent, at the level of the Romanian society, of the contribution of public services of general concern to the emergence and development of regional competitiveness poles, and also the way some services from the category mentioned could become themselves competitiveness poles at European and Romanian economy level.regional competitiveness; poles of competitiveness; public services of general concern.

The implications of institutional specificities on the income inequalities drivers in European Union

This paper aims to review the different impacts of income inequality drivers on the Gini coefficient, depending on institutional specificities. In this context, we divided the European Union member states in two clusters (the cluster of member states with inclusive institutions / extractive institutions) using the institutional pillar as a clustering criterion. In both cases, we assesed the impact of income inequality drivers on Gini coefficient by using a fixed effects model in order to examine the role and importance of the institutions in the dynamics of income disparities.The models were estimated by applying the Panel Estimated Generalized Least Squares (EGLS) method, this being weighted by Cross-section weights option. The separate assessment of the income inequality reactivity to the change in its determinants according to the institutional criterion represents a new approach in this field of research and the results show that the impact of moderating income inequality strategies is limitedin the case of member states with extractive institutions.Comment: 18 page

The Economic and Social Effects of Unemployment in Romania

Unemployment is considered as a negative element of economic development that affects in varying proportions all countries, especially those underdeveloped and those in transitions to the market economy. This paper presents the "Economic and Social Effects of Unemployment in Romania", where we presented the unemployment in the contemporary world, its typology and its measurement, namely: the evolution of the number of unemployed, a rate of unemployment and its structure in Romania. Unemployment has become a problem, along with industrial development, since the second half of the 18th century, in times of recession, when industrial enterprises shrank their production and therefore released a large number of workers who became unemployed. In Romania, unemployment is partly due to the transformation of the structure of a national economy, according to the criterion of efficiency, in order to adapt to the competitive environment

Analysis of Fiscality and Economic Growth at EU Level

Purpose/objectives: What this article proposes is to make a presentation as clear and current as possible of the member states' taxation, direct and indirect taxation being the main categories to which we refer. The choice of the theme was motivated by our interest in discovering the effects of some decisions taken at the European level. It is desired to discover the way and the impact in which taxation influences economic growth in the European community. Design/methodology: Mix research technique has been used. While qualitative research entails in-depth literature readings and reports, quantitative analysis entails presenting data via graphs and tables. Findings: Taxation was and will remain a main component in the general economy that influences the good functioning of a system. Its effectiveness is conditioned by the legal regulations that each state designs individually, but not without the influence of the communities of which it is a part. For example, Romania was conditioned upon its entry into the European Union to modify its laws in order to be at the same level as the states in the Union. It is a laborious process that takes a long time and is constantly changing and improving. The process of designing and implementing these programs is tried to be carried out as easily as possible for each individual state, being individualized by economy, regional power, global impact, etc. The progress of each country entered in this sense is very important and is constantly monitored, and periodic reporting is very useful. Originality/value: The work is an original research work conducted by the researchers. The findings will add to the body of knowledge on the area of research funding in Romania. Possible practical implications: The completed project is addressed to those people who are interested in the fiscal side of an economy, especially understanding the process of economic growth, how difficult it is to reach a favorable situation at such a high level.. It can also represent a starting point for bachelor's, master's level studies, in order to broaden general knowledge, or even in-depth study for a final paper
