    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Analysis of the Factors Determining the Working Capital Requirement  for Non-Financial Companies (doi: 10.14706/icesos1724)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors determining the working capital requirement  of firms. Companies require working capital to improve the capacity, expand the business volume, reduce  the risk of failing to meet their financial obligations, and become profitable and efficient. An inadequacy  of the working capital causes interruptions in the business operations. This study investigates the  determining factors of the working capital requirements of non-financial companies. The research  analysis was done on publicly traded firms, and the data was collected from BIST-100 in Turkey for the  years between 2011 and 2016. In this study, working capital requirement was used as the dependent  variable. Factors such as profitability, leverage, growth, firm size, age and industry were tested as  determining factors. PLS-SEM technique is employed in the research. Results reveal that two explanatory  variables- company&#039;s leverage, and profitability- are significant factors that determine the companies’  working capital requirements for the period under study.     Key words: Working Capital Requirement, Profitability, Leverage, Growth, Size, Age, Industry]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Financial Monitoring of Medication Consumption in  Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[healthcare system practice as its share in GDP has constantly increased  during past decades, which is now above 10% of GDP in developed  countries. However, very often it is more of an issue related to the  current political and socio-economic situation in a country rather than  the one managed by experts. Although one might expect that the  increase in healthcare spending contributes to better health of the  population, relevant indicators show that high healthcare spending in  Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) does not result in better health of its  population. Due to this reason, special attention needs to be paid to the  economic analysis of healthcare spending. Irrational use of medications  is just one of many problems associated with an inefficient health  system, but one that heavily impacts on the health economics. In  situations where it may not be easy to change the existing financing  models, we should explore how to be more effective in spending within  the existing structure. Better control of medication consumption could  be one of the actions that helps improve the effectiveness of the  available budget. Therefore, the general aim of the paper is to  determine the effect that financial monitoring of medication  consumption has on the control of increase in healthcare spending,  which in turn might help establishing a financially sustainable  healthcare system. Bearing in mind that irrational usage of  medications influences the access to healthcare services, destabilizes  country’s budget, and endangers the margin of social sustainability  (endurance), the constant financial monitoring of medication  consumption is important as it can help us recognize those segments  where consumption deviates from standard and where prevention  activities are needed. All this can result in the limitation of further  increase in medication consumption.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Impact of Agricultural Policies on Rural Development and Increase of  Competitiveness of Agriculture of Bosnia and Herzegovina with a Special   Emphasis on Achievement of Reform Goals (doi: 10.14706/icesos1722)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstarct: For the Balkan countries, the agricultural sector and rural development are of great  importance, primarily because they are ensuring food security of the population, and then, also, because  they have effects on employment, the creation of total gross value as well as on the foreign trade. Having  in mind open processes of joining the European Union in these countries, with a special focus on Bosnia  and Herzegovina, the implementation of the EU policies and practices will represent both a challenge  and an opportunity for the development of the state and the improvement of its position in the single  European market. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country with a distinct rural character, with over 50% of  the rural population, where every third household acquires some kind of income from agriculture, and  which is currently facing a number of problems when rural development is concerned (from insufficient  investments, uncompetitive production, inefficient administration, abandonment of rural areas, failure to  use EU funds, etc.). Nevertheless, with adequate policies and dynamic approach to the agricultural  sector, and strategy for increasing competitiveness and attracting investment, the potential of Bosnia and  Herzegovina&#039;s agriculture could be used and exploited, and the country could go towards progress and  success. Therefore, this paper explores and analyzes the European Union&#039;s common policies, as well as  the ways and means of their implementation in the Balkan region countries, especially in Bosnia and  Herzegovina. Then, the paper points the importance and necessity of investing in rural development  (infrastructure, mechanization, marketing, agro-environmental measures, etc.), and provides guidelines  on how to modernize and reconstruct the agricultural sector, in order to increase the country&#039;s  competitiveness and reduce the long-standing trade deficit in this area, and, at last, how to effectively  approach to the European Union with harmonization of legislation and the use of development plan. The  agricultural sector and the overall modernization of rural communities, with a clear vision, and with  increasing employment, economic growth and competitiveness, can become the cornerstone of the  development of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a key factor of its inclusion in the European and the world  trends.    Keywords: EU common agricultural policy, agriculture, rural development, competitiveness.    JEL Classification: Q17, Q18, O13, 018]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In this project, we will research impact of rewards on motivation of employees. Outcome of  the organization is profoundly dependable on the achievement of their workers. Aim of this paper is to  show how rewards impact motivation keeping in mind the goal to improve the general performance of  the organization. It is crucial for the organization to comprehend what drive the employees and how to  expand their employment fulfillment. It may however be hard for an organization to discover what  motivates employees, particularly on the grounds that distinctive individuals are motivated by various  things. Well composed and useful reward system is an effective approach to build employee work  motivation.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The world is having a crisis on international relations because of the Civil War in Syria, which  soon enough turned into a Modern World War (MWW). This conflict complexes the whole world and  questions the life of limitless innocent people. Drawing the conflict visually, this paper attempts to  explain the use of humanitarian intervention in the case of Syria and surveys the main influential  countries included in the war and their reasons for doing so. This review explains the exact event - of 15  students killed by the government - that led to the Civil War and precisely how its size became getting  bigger day by day. Besides doing research and explaining the reasons of the conflict, it also focuses on  possible and realistic solutions to end the war and support the Syrian refugees, on which the whole  burden of the war falls. The review incorporates various methods including data collection and their  analysis.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Marketing has taken a leading role regarding the success of any business because nowadays  with the opportunity to improve product/service quality - through technology development and  information availability-  any organization can achieve desired results in terms of what they have to  offer.    This leaves more room for functions like marketing to be fully applied in accordance to organizational  goals. Therefore this paper aims to explain how powerful marketing can be through the example of the  giant Coca-Cola Company, which has been producing and selling unhealthy products since 1886 and yet  leads the beverage industry to this day. The paper also analyses some facts and data that help better  understand how because of strong marketing strategies and worldwide brand recognition people will  even buy and massively consume these kinds of harmful products.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Studije o betonu 2015-2016]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Pred Vama se nalazi knjiga “Studije o betonu 2015-2016”. U sebi sadrži tri  studije iz oblasti betona i betonskih konstrukcija iz naznačenog perioda. Namjera je  da ovo bude samo prva knjiga iz serije studija o betonu i betonskim konstrukcijama,  koje predstavljaju istraživanja koja se trenutno rade ili će se raditi u vremenu ispred  nas iz ove naučne oblasti.  Prva studija nosi naslov „Šta je to beton, pojam, vrste, historija, prednosti i  nedostaci i klasifikacija prema evropskim standardima“. Od koristi je prvenstveno  studentima građevinskih i arhitektonskih fakulteta u objašnjavanju osnovnih pojmova  iz oblasti betona, tehnologije betona i betonskih konstrukcija. Dozvolite da naglasimo,  da praktično u našoj izdavačkoj praksi ne postoji ovako sveobuhvatno predstavljena  historija betona i betonskih konstrukcija, kao što je to slučaj u ovoj studiji. Takođe su  u studiji date najnovije evropske klasifikacije betona shodno najnovijem Evropskom  standardu EN 206:2013, koji je preuzet i u Bosni i Hercegovini kao BAS EN  206:2014, pa u tom smislu je studija od koristi i inženjerima u praksi, koji uglavnom  nisu upoznati sa najnovijim evropskim klasifikacijama betona, posebno što praktično  vrlo malo materijala ima iz ove oblasti na jezicima naroda u Bosni Hercegovini. U  studiji se daje i pregled najnovijih eveopskih standarda koji tretiraju beton kao  materijal i projektovanje betonskih i drugih nosivih konstrukcija sa naznačenim  međuzavisnostima između ovih standarda.  Druga studija u ovoj knjizi je „Optimalizacija projektnih rješenja  prednapregnutih betonskih montažnih hala sa aspekta upotrebljivosti i trajnosti“.  Naime, pitanja upotrebljivosti i trajnosti betonskih konstrukcija općenito se i  praktično proračunski razmatraju u istoj ravni sa graničnim stanjem nosivosti tek sa  pojavom eurokodova, odnosno Eurokoda 2, koji tretira projektovanje betonskih  konstrukcija. Analiza prezentirana u ovoj studiji je dovela do validnih zaključaka kada  su u pitanju glavni prednapregnuti vezači montažnih betonskih hala. Izbor adekvatnih  glavnih nosača, pitanja njihove upotrebljivosti i trajnosti sa proračunskim postupcima  su sveobuhvatno tretirani u ovoj studiji. Studija će naći svoju čitalačku publiku kod  inženjera projektanata prednapregnutih konstrukcija, inženjera zaposlenih u industriji  prefabriciranih montažnih elemenata i studenata na predmetima iz oblasti betonskih  prednapregnutih konstrukcija i montažnih konstrukcija]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Determinants of  International Tourism Flows to the Republic of Croatia: An SUR Analysis  of Panel Data from 1993-2015]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper examines origin-effects of tourist flows into Croatia from 1993-2015, a time period that features several important events: the fragmentation of Yugoslavia, the European recession, and Croatia’s accession to the European Union. Applying the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) approach to a large panel data set with the number of annual arrivals from each origin country as the dependent variable, we identify and analyze the determinants of tourism flows to Croatia. A series of augmented gravity model specifications reveals that inflows can be explained by geographic proximity, GDP per capita, origin country population, and openness. The role of the real exchange rate variable is inconclusive, and in fact problematic for years 1993-95 when hyperinflation plagued the region in the wake of Yugoslavia’s dissolution. The results confirm the validity of the models, both for the subset of origin countries and for the subset of non-origin countries for which otherwise complete data are available. Given the importance of tourism to Croatia’s national accounts position, implications for tourism policy are discussed, as are suggestions for future research.
