In  recent years, the scandals which emerged in businesses Enron, WorldCom,  Parmalat etc. have caused to become importance for the ethical behavior of  leaders and began to be questioned the role of leader in formation of ethical  behavior. Ethical leadership is the integration of ethic and leadership, and is an  example for employees.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Nowadays many seminars, conferences and courses held and books written  in order to improve leadership skills of different kinds of leaders from all  over the world. However the openness of leaders in the organization has  not been mentioned seriously as it is one of the main skills that successful  leaders should have. In this research paper my intention was to  demonstrate the idea that openness of leaders is directly related with the  success of organization. With the present study, I argue that the  characteristic of leaders that is openness of leader’s plays as big role for the  effectiveness of employees as well as success of the organization. It is very  important because many organizations nowadays fail to operate because of  its leader’s lacked skills.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects of Free Trade Agreements on Turkish  Foreign Trade; The analysis of the Bosnian and  Herzegovinian case]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[According to the Customs Union Agreement effectuated on January 1,  1996 between Turkey and the European Union (EU), Turkey has  undertaken the EU’s Common Trade Policy and its preferential trade  system towards the countries outside the Union which are called the third  countries. Within this scope Turkey can sign similar agreements with other  states which were present during the signing of the Free Trade Agreement  with the EU on the mutual benefit basis. In other words, Turkey can sign  Free Trade Agreements only with the countries with which the EU carries  out Free Trade Negotiations.  In the Free Trade Agreement, different from the Customs Union, the  signatory parties remove the customs duties and limitations among  themselves but they do not develop a common tariff policy towards the  third countries. Therefore each member country is free to impose its own  tariff schedule. Furthermore, while free circulation is acceptable according  to the Customs Union in the Free Trade Agreements the rules of origin is  applied. In this respect, by means of Free Trade Agreements particular  targets such as improving our foreign trade activities with neighboring and  surrounding countries, maintaining a fair competition environment in the  foreign markets in particular in the European market for our import goods,  increasing the volumes of mutual investments, increasing the international  competitive power of Turkey in joint ventures, improving the economic  cooperation between the countries, removing the obstacles preventing the  circulation of goods and services and at the same time improving the political, technological and social relations between the signatory parties,  constitute the main focus as a principle.  Within this scope, our country is not obliged to accept the content of the  Free Trade Agreements signed between the EU countries and the related  negotiations should be carried out by taking our industrial and trade policy  priorities into consideration.  In this respect Turkey has signed Free Trade Agreements with 19 countries  in total except for the 10 Central and Eastern European countries with  which the signed FTAs have been terminated due to their membership to  the EU. 13 of the abovementioned agreements have been signed after  2000.  In this study the impact of the Free Trade Agreements signed by Turkey on  the Turkish Foreign Trade has been evaluated in terms of both import and  export issues. With this purpose, the trade relations between Turkey and  the other countries with which FTAs have been signed have been  scrutinized by analyzing the pre and post agreement conditions. Finally the  bilateral trade relation between Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina has  been evaluated within the scope of the signed Free Trade Agreement and  the pre and post Agreement conditions have also been analyzed.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Statistics of Central Bank of Turkey and World Bank provide evidence for  the fact that the volume of trade of Turkey with Bulgaria, Romania and  Greece may have a positive effect on Turkey’s Economy even under the  circumstances of the recent financial crises. Thus, it is important to analyze  the impacts of foreign trade volume of Turkey with Bulgaria, Romania and  Greece on the real economic activity in Turkey. In this respect, we used  time series techniques to make inferences about the possible  consequences of regional economic integration.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ICT Use in Small and Medium Enterprises for  Development in Vlora Region]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Republic of Albania, in its efforts to build a sustainable growth of the  country and the region, considers information and communication  technologies, (hereafter named ICT), as an essential tool with a major  impact in terms of building the information society.  According to the strategy document for ICT 2007-2013, a document of  Albanian government, ICT should be used in all business sectors as  transport, tourism, agriculture, environment, leisure, culture, etc. and to  contribute to the entire population.  Despite the challenges facing Albania and other developing countries,  computers and other ICTs have tremendous potential to help overcome  them. This requires not only public sector leadership, but also private  sector engagement. The strategy implementation in Albania has included  different actions regarding not only central and local administration, but  also private sector and businesses. Implementation, on the other hand  must be supported by regional and local level strategies and action. In this  context, the Pitagora project is one of the projects undertaken by different  actors in Albania and especially in Vlora Region to study the current use  and future possibilities of using ICT in Vlora Region. The purpose of this study is to focus on the use by businesses, especially  small and medium-sized businesses, SMEs, given that ICT is considered by  many authors as well as by orientations of the European Union, a powerful  engine for regional and local economic development.  On the other hand, as indicated above, the strategy of the study will  include surveys through structured questionnaires, to identify some very  important aspects of ICT use in SMEs.  The important indicators included in the survey are general data bout SME  in the region, and the ICT presence within organizations as well as ICT use,  in the light of their importance for regional development.  As the analyses show, the characteristics of SME and their business  operations affect the use of ICTs in this region. In fact, the low level of  cooperation in the value chain between clients and suppliers, small  number of operation abroad and types of sectors most developed in the  region create some opportunities for ICT use but also some challenges. The  use of specific software and the depth of use in ICT are some of the  solution recommended for the relatively low level of ICT use in the region.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Human Resource Management in the banking sector in  Sarajevo]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance and scientific pursuit  &quot;human side”, and the necessity of implementing the strategy of motivation to  employee performance. During the last hundred years the work has been  transformed from assembly line production to more creative one, where  machinery took over the all repetitious and routine tasks, giving people  possibillity devotion to that business process parts, which requested creativity,  adaption and innovation. In that new economy the main management tasks  have been completely changed. In assembly line production and „old  economy“ the main management tasks were establishing of clearly defined  system and as precise as possible control of that system. The main manager  task in the new economy is developing potentials of every employee and  choosing the right working team which will possess the optimal capability for  work accomplishing.  The research alone has the task to understand the relationship between  institutions and employee performance. What makes some employment  relationships successful, and causes others to fail? What is the role of  government and the law in enhancing the performance of existing and new  employment relationships? These are key questions for personnel economics.  Personnel Economics analyses how to model the relationship between such  psychological factors, individual workplace performance, and general labor  market outcomes.  Every bank and financial institution is involved in various functions in a day&#039;s  job and thus requires a highly effective team and appropriate manpower to  run the show. Corporate goals are translated into viable realities and profits  only with human element who play their due role in achieving the desired  results. An important reason for the need of designing work motivation is the  need for understanding the mechanisms of behavior as a basis for the system  to motivate. One of the key strategic task managers today becomes effective  management of human resources in the context of the construction of a  coherent system of motivation.Keywords: Discrete Time, the Vasicek Model,  Interest Rate.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Capital Market in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Unused  Potential as Alternative Source of Financing]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[One of the most important factors of conducting business successfully and also  in achieving the interests of the owner of entity is adequate structuring of  source of financing of company or institution. Debt as a source of financing has  its advantages in terms of potential of increasing of wealth for the owner of  capital. The thing that we are speaking about is optimizing relationships of  debt to ownership capital.  On the other side, debt alone as source of finance can be realized on a several  ways, where plenty of factors influence that choice. We mean here on  financing through bank credits versus financing by emission of debt securities.  The size of company or institution together with the financial system is most  important factors that determine not only the way of financing through  emission of debt securities but also considering it as a option or a possibility.  In the past few years in B&amp;H the possibility of finance big infrastructural  projects through emission of debt securities has been often mentioned. Until  now neither one of these projects has been financed in this way.  About this problematic can be spoken from many aspects such as: strategic  decisions, limits concerning budget deficit, technical conductions, efficient  managing of public debt and so further.  If it is about financing of corridor 5C or about financing infrastructural projects  on the local level, bank loans determine the way of financing in Bosnia. In most  case these loans are offered by international finance institutions or some  countries. On the other side by emission of bonds issued either by state/entity  or more concrete public company „Autoceste FBiH“, the state itself would  become investor. Thus the state, entity, municipality and citizens instead of  trading with bonds that are used with aim to cover budget deficits can be used  for infrastructural projects and development.  These are the facts that we want to consider when we speak about capital  market as alternative source of financing trying to reach what are the  advantages and disadvantages of emission of debt securities, what are the  possibilities, techniques and benefits of financing of infrastructural projects  through bonds.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Endogenous growth theory is based on the idea that there are some  factors in the growth process in economies that cannot be explained with  human capital. Endogenous growth theory developed by Romer, contrary  to the neo-classical growth theories explaining the economic growth with  physical production factors, discusses that the human capital has an  important place among the dynamics of economic growth. In the study,  human capital factor, having a significant place in the growth process of  today’s economies, is discussed as a human development index, and its  effect on growth rate is analyzed for the period 1980-2011. According to  the results of the analysis, a cointegration relationship was detected to be  present between human development index and growth rate; however, no  causality relationship was observed in the short term.
