    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Stock Selection Based on Discriminant Analysis: Case of Capital Market of Bosnia and Herzegovina ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The main goal of this paper is to scientifically examine and propose new approach of stock selection and analysis based on multivariate technique, i.e. discriminant analysis, in order to help investors, individual and institutional, in their decision making process, especially in case of underdeveloped capital markets. Therefore, in this paper we investigate the cross—sectional relation between the independent variables of the model, comprised of beta coefficient and some fundamental variables as well as the average stock returns on the underdeveloped capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We concluded that discriminant analysis is a useful quantitative tool that can help investors in shaping their investment strategies. We also found that the beta coefficient, market capitalization and realized historical return have discriminatory capabilities in case of the capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The real implications of this research can be seen in the shaping of investment strategies of potential investors looking to diversify their portfolios. The main limitations of this study are to be found in the shorter available financial time series in newly formed capitalistic economy, missing data due to the lack of collective records on levels of securities offerings issues.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to identify, develop and compare the determinants  of store personality of the most preferred consumer electronics  chain stores, as perceived by young consumers in urkey. A questionnaire  survey including a 22-item store personality scale was conducted  among 855 students using a convenience sampling method. xploratory  factor analysis ( A) and confirmatory factor analysis ( A)  was performed. indings suggest that greater accuracy of information is  needed in the purchasing decision related to high involvement products  such as consumer electronics. Also it was found that younger consumers  prefer reliable stores that give accurate information, value for money,  and provides price-quality fit.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Oblik međunarodnog kretanja kapitala koji može imati značajniji efekt na ekonomski razvoj, pokrenuti privredu i potaknuti zapošljavanje jesu strane direktne investicije (FDI). Obim struktura i efikasnost investicija značajno utiču na razvoj ekonomije i društva. Argumenti u prilog stranim investicijama uveliko nastaju iz analize determinanti ekonomskog rasta, efikasnosti investicija i njihovom uticaju na ekonomski razvoj. Strane investicije se doživljavaju kao način popunjavanja jaza između raspoložive domaće štednje, devizne razmjene, prihoda vlade i sposobnosti ljudskog kapitala, te željenog nivoa tih resursa potrebnih da bi se postigli ciljevi rasta i razvoja.    U radu se primjenjuje model jednostruke linearne regresije. Zavisna varijabla je bruto društveni proizvod (BDP) BiH, za koji je postavljeno da je funkcija FDI. Nakon analize rezultati regresijske analize će se prikazati koeficijentom linearne korelacije između nezavisne varijable i zavisne varijable, a time će se prikazati efekt priliva FDI u BiH.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Strategic Make-or-Buy Decision-supporting Process:   Adaptability to Sustainable Development Aspects]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Real world outsourcing decisions are very seldom based on a sound trade-off of  risks, costs that these risks impose and benefits. The present paper attempts to overcome  some of these shortcomings by developing an informal process. Dividing the make-or-buy  question into many sub-questions based on, in this case, 16 objectives and characteristics,  helps decision-makers generate a transparent and strategy-oriented solution with fair  attention to all important considerations. By contrast, the less structured intuitive approach  allows the decision-maker to weigh only a few arguments/propositions simultaneously –  typically those which have current subjective importance for the decider. Due to the  modularity of this process, it can be extended easily to additional objectives and  characteristics, e.g., those one that representing sustainable development aspects. The process  allows one to determine what organizational architecture is best suited to a specified activity]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Strategic Motives and Foreign Direct Investment  Activities of Turkish Manufacturing Firms: An Empirical  Study]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper aims to determine and assess strategic motives of Turkish  manufacturing firms’ (TMFs) foreign direct investment (FDI) involvement  by the use of a broad set of factual and perceptual measures. Relying on  the past research we have developed a number of hypotheses relating to  firm characteristics and motives. Based on the analysis of 94 parent firm  managers’ responses to a survey, first, we find that market-related motives  (such as market potential, market access) appear to be the most important  motives. Second, the results show that the relative importance of TMFs’  strategic motives does not vary with parent firm age; but, to a limited  degree, they vary depending on subsidiary firm age. Third, strategic  motives, to some extent, differ based on the size of the sampled firms and  the size of their foreign subsidiaries. Fourth, motives of TMFs do not vary  based on their sub-sector and entry mode. Finally, the results suggest that  favorable business environment seeking and strategic asset seeking  motives are significantly associated with investment in developed  countries (DCs); and, cultural asset exploiting and efficiency seeking  motives are significantly associated with investment in less developed  countries (LDCs).  Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Strategic FDI Motives,  Emerging Market-Based FDI Firms, Turkish Manufacturing Firms, Entry  Modes, Host Country Selection.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Strategies for appropriate and helpful teacher response to stressful situations caused by disruptive students in the classroom]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Whether you have been teaching for 20 years or have just started your teaching career, there’s always a possibility you will have a student in your classroom with disruptive behavior. This behavior can go beyond the limits of what is considered to be acceptable in a learning environment. An obvious example of disruptive behavior is when the student verbally attacks, is late for class, experiences angry outbursts, social problems, etc. or simply rebels against something that is happening beyond the classroom door. However, very rarely are we, as teachers, aware of the possibility that the student might be having a mental health crisis.  We, the Language Centre at South East European University, have encountered various stressful situations, while at the same time we struggle for balance and try to find appropriate responses for students’ complaints about grades, “unfair” treatment, the policy of the faculty, etc. In an effort to resolve this dilemma, we will conduct research within the Language Centre through interviews with the academic and administrative staff as well as the students and their supervisors. In our presentation, we will present several strategies to deal with stressful situations that affect the entire learning environment, including the teachers themselves, such as: defining the problem, the reason behind it, the time of occurrence, its impact, introducing meta-communication and early communication by setting early expectations, ways to stay calm when responding to a crisis event and setting limits. We will also explore basic principles related to classroom management and a variety of strategies for early intervention in order to create a dynamic learning environment that promotes learning safety.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Over the past three decades European countries have been coping with  problems of high unemployment, and they need rigid labor market  improvements. Countries tried to find strategies to decrease  unemployment by using different methods, such as wage moderation,  income tax cuts, tightening of unemployment benefits, reduction in  barriers to part time work, and education programs. This paper examines  methods which have been proven to be successful in Ireland and  Netherlands. By looking at its implications it tries to give strategic solutions  to countries as Bosnia and Herzegovina, since it is coping with the same  problem. This paper analyzes problems of unemployment with special  focus on the youth unemployment in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
