    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Entrepreneurial Culture as a Prerequisite for the  Formation of Innovation Driven Organization]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Corporate entrepreneurship refers to the explanation of entrepreneurial  activity in the medium and large enterprises, and includes the creation,  development and implementation of new ideas, while innovation may  represent new products and services, administrative procedures and  production processes. Literature shows that corporate entrepreneurship  and successful entrepreneurial orientation can significantly increase the  company’s competitive position and value added, and that the innovation  is a crucial aspect of the entrepreneurial process. Creativity and innovation  are critical for the success and survival of the company. In modern  economic conditions it is evident that the economy is becoming primarily  based on intangible sources of value and those concepts such as  reputation, trust and loyalty have a concrete impact on competitive  advantage, financial performance and businesses survival. Company’s  culture is an example of an intangible element. The culture of an  organization consists of the basic assumptions and beliefs upon which  companies are formed, how its members behave and how it defines itself  in relation to the external environment. In forming a system for promoting  entrepreneurial activities various factors should be taken into  considerations, such as: fostering the entrepreneurial and risk-taking spirit  in the organization, attracting and retaining the best talent, and promoting  venture success. Since the organizational culture is necessary for the  International Conference on Economic and Social Studies, 10-11 May, 2013, Sarajevo  68  realization of business excellence and stakeholders’ value, in its essence it  has to be entrepreneurially inclined, therefore a certain contradiction  between individual autonomy and collective cooperative culture remains  the problem of a new entrepreneurial culture model. The paper analyzes  entrepreneurial culture as a factor that influences realization of business  excellence. In modern times this distinct competitive advantage is  extremely difficult to achieve if a company is not entrepreneurially  oriented. That means meeting prerequisites necessary for continuous  innovation as the source of competitive advantage. Support and  development of innovation presupposes favorable work environment,  adequate human resources management, entrepreneurially oriented  organizational culture and a balance between individual initiative and  cooperative behavior.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Turkish Economy on its Sustainable Growth Path to the EU]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[During the past decade, the world has come to be aware more of Turkey as a  result of her ever-growing economy. Turkey is, to some extent, perceived as a  rising economic power in the international arena. Turkey further also belongs  to the group of upper middle-income countries as categorized by the World  Bank classification with 10,410 USD GNI per capita in 2011 in current prices.  With the same manner, in the most recent document called the European  Commission 2012 Progress Report for Turkey, Turkish economic performance  was evaluated as progressive towards the economic convergence with the EU  with macroeconomic stabilization.  This paper endeavors to examine whether a high degree of sustainable  economic convergence has been achieved, whether the national legislation is  compatible with the Treaty  and whether Turkey has fulfilled the economic  requirements to become an integral part of the Euro-zone. Sustainable growth  path in Turkey is pursued in the sense that Turkish institutions and economic  policies have sustainably improved and effective enough in order for the  economy of the nation to cope with those of the EU’s member states. In other  words, this paper seeks to answer the question whether Turkish economy is  ready to join the EU providing that there have been some reforms and changes  in the institutions so far in addition to the capability to response to external  shocks such as global financial crisis.  This study is an attempt to focus extensively on the economic imperatives of  Turkey-EU relations under the circumstances created along with the aftermath  of the European sovereign debt crisis since 2008. In line with the framework of  the Maastricht criteria for a fruitful economic performance in lieu of  competitive EU single market, this paper argues that recent economic  development in Turkey has proved its success in meeting with those criteria.  Moreover, with the evidence of the less severe impacts of global financial and  economic crisis on Turkish economy, especially on the banking sector, Turkish  institutions proved their effective precautionary policies ahead of the crisis.  This paper, hence, also endeavors to evaluate Turkish monetary and fiscal  policy responses to the global crisis to further conclude that Turkish economy  is on its sustainable development path to be a comparable and competitive  member in the European Union.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Human factor as an essential part of all ongoing in the educational,  economic, political, social, cultural, environmental and other plans  (external aims of education) directly affects the process of the economic  and social development which is directly implied by the educational  effects, mainly through the labor productivity growth in a global sense.  Education, as a process of socially beneficial and personally applicable  knowledge of work in terms of occupation and professions in achieving  social communication and social status, is the focus of many scientific  disciplines especially pedagogy, psychology and sociology. It is a very  complex multitasking, dispersive and variable process with lasting social  roles and the basic form of human capital formation.  Education recognizes the concept of human capital in its economic aspect  through the investment in human capital, and on the other, through the  educational production measured by the monetary system. Meanwhile, it  is the product of the educational production behavior in the labor market.  Therefore, the need of investment in education is required as the mainestablishment  of human capital investment and economic growth and  development of initial literacy as important determinants of educational  effects (external aims of education).  Education is one of the main factors for the human capital quality, which is  crucial for the international competitiveness of the national economy and  sustainable development (Education Policy Analysis, 2002). Thus, in this  case, the investment in human capital is concerned. This investment in  human capital provides long-term and stable economic growth and the  development of basic literacy as determinants of educational effects  (external aims in education).
