    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development, A Comparative  Analysis on Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Corporate governance is the system by which business corporations are directed  and controlled. This concept is getting more attention in the recent years after many  corporation scandals and financial crises. But it has many benefits to companies and  countries. When we look at the country side, according to literature, there are several  channels through which corporate governance affects growth and development in countries,  these channels are: increased access to external financing by firms, a lowering of the cost of  capital and associated higher firm valuation, better operational performance through better  allocation of resources and better management, reduced risk of financial crises, and better  relationships with all stakeholders.  In this study we aim to show importance of corporate governance on sustainable  development in developing countries. In this direction we will use data acquired from reports  and data prepared by World Bank, OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and  Development) and governmental organizations in these countries. Corporate governance  levels and performances of companies and countries and effects of these on growth and  sustainable development will be acquired from data. At the conclusion part, we will conclude  our study with a comparative country analysis on Turkey and Bosnia Herzegovina and with  some suggestions to countries and future researches.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Corporate Governance Practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this paper is to present the state of corporate governance in Bosnia and  Herzegovina, to determine the degree of its principle applications, and to emphasize the  importance of good corporate governance practices for transition economies, such as Bosnia  and Herzegovina. Corporate governance, by its simplest definition, presents a system of  management and control over the company. Good corporate governance practice is important  for the investment climate, because it provides greater security for investors and shareholders  and leads to sustainable long-term economic development. Because of the reorganization of  the still present economic system, developing countries are faced with many problems related  to the implementation of corporate governance, such as insufficient use of existing legislation,  underdeveloped capital markets and insufficient bussiness transparency of the company.  Foreign investors do not wish to invest in companies that do not apply the principles of  corporate governance and studies have shown that for making investment decisions, the  application of good corporate governance practices plays an important role. The problems  Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing are still a lack of business transparency of company  operations, as well as the insufficient protection of minor shareholders. At the end of this  paper certain guidelines are given in order to improve practices of corporate governance in  Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also the importance of their application to the company and the  country itself is highlighted.  Keywords: corporate governance, transition economies, economic development, principles,  business transparency]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Corporate University: Beliefs and Misbeliefs]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[During the process of putting together the program for an American and two  European Corporate University Summits, we have gathered dozens of opinions  from industry practitioners. Based on our own research and on some industry  leading magazines (Chief Learning Officer Magazine, Harvard Business  Publishing Corporate Learning, Elearning! Magazine, Learning Solutions  Magazine) we are close to the problem definition. Post-experiential business  education, which is at the heart of a Corporate University, can make two  fundamental mistakes: the first is to attempt being a school, the second is not  to attempt being a school.  We may try building a bridge between ‘know how’ (University) and ‘know  when’ (Corporation), the problem is that we do not know how to get from  ‘know how’ to ‘know when’. A modern Corporate University helps those who  are hungry for new knowledge to understand the contexts and ideally, in  choosing the right professional path. The CU&#039;s task is to supplement the entrylevel  knowledge with the most important, solution-oriented “mainstream”  types of knowledge while helping practitioners to understand why exactly that  the learning content is, and not something else (and thus, where the world is  heading). The practitioner learns this way the most important part: to acquire  the necessary knowledge to complete his task. He learns how he can  supplement his own existing knowledge with the available knowledge: that of  the others or of the gurus – he learns how to search, share and validate. This  process is difficult for everyone in different ways. There are those whose  challenge is the difference between the levels of brought and acquired  knowledge while there are others whose challenges are the hurdles of their  own professional path related dilemma. A Corporate University enables the  practitioners to step out of their position&#039;s comfort zone and to return again  according to their areas of interest and to their own knowledge level. Everyone  can take from the content and use what he really needs and where his interest  is, the rest is optionally available – just like the different tools of a Swiss Army  Knife.  Keywords: University, Beliefs, Misbeliefs.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Corporation Tax Rate-Revenue Paradox: Income Shifting  and Corporatization]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Governments have reduced the corporate tax rate to attract foreign capital  in the process of globalization especially after the 1980s. Additionally, they  have taken some measures supportively such as tax incentives and tax  exemption for this goal. These tax competition practices brought up some  questions and concerns about financing public spending issue. But  corporate tax revenue actual data shows relatively stable path over the  time while corporate tax rates are reducing among countries. Some  researches called this doubtful fact “corporate tax rate-revenue paradox”  and explaining it with corporatization and income shifting effects.  In this study we examine the development of corporate tax rates and  revenues in EU countries briefly. Then we are trying to analyses which  factors are dominant in this paradox using available annual panel data for  EU countries. In empirical part of the study we employ panel unit root tests  for determining the stationarity of data set. After this procedure we  perform alternative estimation techniques and provide estimation results.  According to these result threats and opportunities are evaluated at  national tax policy perspective and at union level.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Explicit correction, recast, prompt, acquisition, Italian language, techniques of correction  ABSTRACT  Focusing on three types of corrective feedback strategies in the acquisition of Italian language as L2, namely explicit corrections, recasts and prompts, the current paper’s aim is to demonstrate how these strategies improve the acquisition of L2 in learners whose level is B1/B2. Which one give the best effects in the correction techniques?Which strategy is mostly accepted by the learners? Can these strategies be used in the written feedback? Some answers demonstrate that the effects of explicit corrections, recasts and prompts have rarely been examined from learners’ own perspectives and more studies in this direction are needed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The role of error correction or corrective feedback has been studied and  emphasized since the beginning of language learning. The term largely relates to the four  skills of language such as reading, writing, speaking and writing. This article will focus  on the oral production and will have a look at language acquisition in an intercultural  classes. The positive feedback will be discussed and the attitude of the teacher towards  the learners will be explored through the research. The language learning can be effected  negatively or positively by the way of the teachers‘ attitude towards the learner.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Correlation between Teaching Strategy and Students’ value Orientations at Higher education institutions(International University of Sarajevo and University of Travnik)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Old methodology did not pay a lot of attention to the students&#039; needs, interests and value orientation. The reason for that was the fact that the teaching strategies considered a teacher-centred methodology. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more students-centered way of teaching. Students&#039; needs and value orientations are becoming primary doctrine applied within process. Therefore, we can say that they shape the world&#039;s outlook. In practice, it is a bit complicated in the higher education institutions when it comes to matching teaching strategies and students’ value orientations. In depth, the methodology meets various implications of the challenges. Post-war education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina requires comprehensive redesigning reforms, and at the same time requires to be attended to it with earnestness. We claim that the reform of the education system in Bosnia should be taken into the consideration and integrate the students’ value orientation and apply the curriculum done right after the brief analysis of the previous curriculum, syllabus and textbooks. Learners’ ethnic and cultural background should play an important role while teaching. The aim of paper will be to clarify the scope of students&#039; value orientation and teaching strategy, to what extand it is payed attention within education system and the importance of its correlation. Therefore, teaching strategies together with the experiments, lectures and skills integrated activities with the realm of values need to promote the objectives of students’ value orientation. The finding of the research points out to what extents is the correlation between teaching strategy and students’ value orientation important in order to obtain the learning environment and achieve knowledge.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Correlation between the Initial Consonants and Tone Perception Patterns]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: L2 Chinese, Disyllablic Words, Perception, L1 Swedish  ABSTRACT  Many tests have been performed in order to find out how adult learners perceive the tones of Standard Chinese and also how they manage to produce them. The conclusions are that the students master the Standard Chinese (SC) tones (T) when it comes to the so-called static tones (in isolated syllables). However, most modern words in SC are di- or polysyllabic so one tone has to combine with another one (dynamic tones), the so-called tone combinations (TC). Earlier studies on the perception of Chinese tones (i.e. Chuang, et al. 1972; Gandour 1978; Guo 1993:330-334; Kiriloff 1969; Klatt 1973) have claimed that the more syllables a word contains the higher is the ratio of misperceived tones. Yet the tests almost exclusively used monosyllabic words. According to the results of their studies the most common misper-ception, regardless of what non-tonal L1 the listeners might have, has shown to be that of T2 and T3.  No studies were, however, found investigating how Swedish students perform so a test was presented. It was the listening test of their annual exam (25 words) which pushed the par-ticipants to perform well. The results show that  (1) on monosyllable level (each syllable in disyllabic words) most of the confusions are, in accordance to earlier studies, between T2 and T3;  (2) the stops may be the cause for the confusions between T2 and T3;  (3) the neutral tone in the second syllable is always confused with T4;  (4) on disyllabic level most TC confusions fall upon 2+3 and  (5) the commonmost misinterpretation response is 2+4 which to a certain degree sounds simi-lar to the Swedish grave or acute accent.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Alarming data about the number of young people who abuse drugs and drug clearly indicate the topicality of studying this subject. There is more meaning to this topic and also is socially important because the youth is the pillar of any society. Social significance is reflected in the fact that society has an important role in reducing substance abuse and drugs.     Studying and developing cooperation with families and schools to fight substance abuse and drug use is very important for pedagogy as a science of education, especially for the families and school counselors. The situation as it is now in our society unambiguous and clearly shows that have already matured enough to form its own sub discipline pedagogical way to deal with the phenomenon of combating substance abuse and drugs.    To achieve success in solving the problem of family and school cooperation has to be at a high level, it must be continuous with continuous exchange of views and ideas on solving it. Educational influences of family and school are a very powerful tool when it comes to the formation of a healthy personality and quality, which will be capable of resisting the most difficult types of voices.    Until recently even in pedagogical circles, they supported the view that it is best not to talk about drugs in the school, because it was thought that people would be awakened and deepened curiosity. It is important to emphasize that this is a very wrong attitude; on the contrary we believe that children need to talk openly about it, both with their families and at school.    Because the family and school environment conducive to the creation of a free individual, the freeing of his creative potential and self-confidence, we believe that an institution of vital importance to the individual and are essential for solving an instance of such a complex problem.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Correlation of Change in Fundamental Indicators and  Stock Price Movements on Sarajevo Stock Exchange]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fundamental analysis is regarded as one of the key tools in evaluating  securities by examining intrinsic value of the business, trough primarily the  analysis of its financial statements. Although in the short run, various  factors might influence investment sentiment and thus stock price  movements, in the long run fundamentals should determine stock price  performance. Sarajevo Stock Exchange is a pioneering enterprise in the  development of a capital market in Bosnian transition economy. Upon  examining stock price movements and trade volumes over its ten year  history, it is difficult to argue that high volatility in both factors can be  attributed to changes in corporate fundamentals. We can thus argue that  irrational or speculative determinants are at play; a discouraging prospect  for a developing capital market. In order to investigate the correlation  between the change in fundamental indicators and stock price  movements, ten major companies listed on the exchange were selected  using pre-defined criteria, and key fundamental indicators, as well as stock  price volatility was examined for a five year period during which Sarajevo  Stock Exchange had highest trade volumes. The results indicate that ratios  that are price-independent have volatility ten times lower than ratios that  are price-determined. Additionally, stock price analysis indicates high  standard deviation; a traditionally accepted measure of volatility and intrayear  stock price spreads often reach hundreds of percent. Furthermore,  when selected indicators are correlated with stock price movements, the  research determined that correlation coefficients are low, sometimes  negative, suggesting no linear relationship between the change in  fundamental indicators and the change in the price of the security. The  result of high-risk high-volatility market situation was a significant decline  in value of securities listed on the exchange. This decline led to a loss of  confidence of individual investors in the exchange which can be illustrated  by low trading volumes in the last few years, usually in the region of 1% to  3% of 2007 levels. The exchange thus is incapable of serving most of  functions traditionally associated with the business.
