    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[PERCEIVED SATISFACTION WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE:  CASE STUDY OF GRAS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Public service quality is in recent years one of the major challenges for  economic analysis. It is due to the size of companies providing public services as well  as to the importance of obtained results both for companies offering the services  and for the public policy creators and administrators. One of the aspects that can  be evaluated is the level of service offered or the supply side. The other side is the  perceived satisfaction with the service quality, which represents the demand side  aspect. There is not much research that analyses how the passengers perceive the  quality of the services.  The objective of this paper is two folded. Firstly, to evaluate the quality of GRAS  services from the aspect of users and secondly to see what needs to be improved in  order for non-users or people who rarely use public transport to become regular users.  The information is valuable for policy makers as well as operational managers in the  public transport system. An insight into what users consider as important and how they  perceive existing public transport service can show that investment and improvement  of existing service can really attract new users and keep the existing ones.  The data were collected using self-administered internet mediated questionnaires to  the residents of Sarajevo Canton. In total 247 persons answered the questionnaire. The  response rate was above 50 per cent. The results showed that there is wide space for  improvements in service, especially if the company is trying to reach non-users.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[PERCEPTION DISCREPANCIES IN EDIFYING CONNOTATIONS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Perception is not always a readily available contemplation outcome. Perception is always an interpretation too. Thinking is not based on edification foundations alone. It is also wrought with different purposes, conceptualizations and anticipations. An individual can never be absolutely certain that another person watching an object or an action with them at the same time interprets it with the same ultimate discernment. What we can surmise is that, under certain conditions, common perception facilitates human interaction. In order for members of a community to communicate and be able to act conjointly towards a common goal there need to be structurally identical elements in what they observe, feel and perceive. Thinking always objectivizes perception anew and makes it possible for different inferences to be interpreted as perception discrepancies. Individual perception, on the other hand, always strives to reroute thinking into a subjective mould and construe it as an emotion, or an upfront taken attitude which shapes the edifying algorithms and the premises beneath it. Before venturing to shed a definitive clue onto such contradictory connotations, one should ponder first whether there is an absolutely objective perception at all, one that soars above all subjective relations and yet involves people of different backgrounds, timelines, and locations. That, however, should be no obstacle to contemplating levels of perception discrepancy and the impact it has on the clarity of meaning. There are cases where an individual can be more objective than the whole community they belong to, and can perceive meanings more correctly than a vast majority of their fellow countrymen.    Key words: perception, discrepancy, meaning, inference, edification]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[PERCEPTIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF BEING A NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TEACHER (NNEST) AS A FOREIGNER IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the field of English language teaching (ELT), a growing number of teachers are not native speakers of English. According to current estimates, about eighty percent of English teachers worldwide are non-native speakers of the language. The term non-native English speaking teacher (NNEST) has created a division among professionals in the ELT profession. English is taught commonly in many countries where English is spoken as a second language or spoken widely. Therefore, being a non-native English speaking teacher in your own country, where English is the target language between you and your own local learners and inevitably your mother tongue is used partly during the classes, is different from in a foreign country where English is mutual language between you and your learners. In that case, English is the only way for you and your learners in order to communicate in every part of school life, in school activities or even in your daily life. Learners feel like talking just the target language before, during, and after the classes unavoidably. We can see the differences of learning English through a local non-native English speaking teacher.  Key words: English language teaching, NNEST  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Perceptions of Native and Non-native English Speaking Teachers of English about English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The status of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has been accepted as an increasingly popular debate in Applied Linguistics and current English language teaching (ELT). A major body of research in the study of ELF has concentrated on the consequences of native speaker norms in respect to ELT. It has been suggested that native speaker norms of English have been losing relative importance in international academic fields. Despite the increasing research interest in ELF focusing on non-native speakers and their use of English, there has been little empirical investigation into the perceptions of both native and non-native English speaking teachers of English about ELF. On the other hand, the students in non-English speaking countries are learning English to be able to communicate with other native or non-native English speakers in both intra and international contexts. In other words, they need to be taught ELF. Thus, the main goal of the teachers has to prepare them to function appropriately in these contexts. This necessity reminds the role and importance of ELF in English language teacher education programs. Therefore, the present study investigated two significant aspects related to ELF. First, the perceptions of native and non-native speaking teachers of English about ELF were investigated. As a second objective, the perceptions of the same group of teachers regarding the role and importance of ELF in English language teacher education were examined. The participants consisted of 100 non-native, 30 native speaking teachers of English working at two respective universities in Istanbul. The data came from a background questionnaire, a questionnaire regarding the perceptions of English language teachers developed by the researchers and semi-structured interviews.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Performance of Companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina in  2011]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyses performance of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Companies are divided into main sections and divisions, according to the  NACE Rev. 2 statistical classification of EU, as well as by their size. Analyses  of overall performance in terms of sales, export, profitability, employment,  and trends in 2011 are elaborated in this paper. Special focus is on working  capital management of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina and  comparison of their performance to that of companies in EU and USA. This  research paper explores the following questions: is there a difference in  overall performance measured by the size of companies (small and  medium companies compared to large companies) and performance of  companies in industry sectors with potential advantages based on the  development strategies in the country (wood processing industry, metals  industry, manufacturing of food)? Is there a difference in performance  when industry sector is analyzed vertically (i.e. in metals industry,  comparison of performance between companies in mining industry and  manufacturing of metals)? Is there a difference in main categories of  working capital management (days of sales outstanding, days of inventory,  and days of payables outstanding) between industry sectors, within one  industry sector, and between small and medium companies and large  companies? The research has been performed based on financial  statements of all companies that have submitted their reports to  authorized entity agencies (AFIP and APIF) for 2010 and 2011. In total,  28,505 limited liability and shareholding companies have submitted their  financial reports for the fiscal year 2011. The results show overall weak  performance, especially for small and medium sized companies, in terms of profitability, growth, and return on equity and exports. There are also  significant differences in performance among industry sectors and within  some industry sectors. It indicates that performance in main industry  sectors is weaker when moving up vertically in main industry sectors.  These results may imply that companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina are  resource based, and that they do not apply innovation and technology,  which would give them a sustainable competitive advantage on the  market. Results also show that working capital management of B&amp;H  companies is far below the level of companies in EU and the USA. Analysis  of working capital management based on the size of companies’ shows  substantial differences between SME and large companies in B&amp;H.  Keywords: Company performance, Working capital management, Days of  sales outstanding, Days of inventory, Days of Payables outstanding, Cash to  cash cycle.]]></dcterms:abstract>
