    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Irony in William Blake’s Poetry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Irony, stating something meaning another, turns into a philosophical method of understanding opposite concepts with Friedrich Schlegel’s Fragments published in the eighteenth century. It accords irony an ontological and epistemological function and changes its scope. William Blake, one of the prominent names of Romantic poetry, employs the binary oppositions and creates a different perspective of irony. In addition to the usage of traditional binary systems such as; good and evil, heaven and hell, he structures new binary systems. The traditional binary systems used by Blake are challenging as he redefines the opposite concepts in a holistic manner. On analyzing these three poems; “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell”, “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” it would be fair to claim that he presents a different perspective of construing the world with the employment of irony using integrative binary oppositions in the Romantic period.     Keywords: romantic poetry, irony, William Blake]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Trends and Challenges of Female Unemployment in the Republic of Macedonia: A Regional Comparative Study]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Republic of Macedonia has since its independence made great progress in terms of economic reform and social development; prompted often by the county’s aspiration to become part of the European Union. However, in spite of these advances, weak labour market indicators in particular among females remains a great concern and a persisting challenge for the country.     Based on official data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) conducted by the State Statistical Office (SSO) for the case of the Republic of Macedonia, the aim of this study is to examine the development of female unemployment in the past decade (2004-2013) in the Republic of Macedonia from a multi-dimensional perspective. This while comparing national trends with other Balkan countries already in the EU using LFS data provided by Eurostat.    Findings show that the female unemployment rate in the R. Macedonia is moving in the right direction with a decreasing trend throughout the observed period with drop of 8.8 percent point from 2004 to 2013 (observed at 29% in 2013). Compared to Balkan countries in the EU, findings show that the R. Macedonia has been performing relatively better than these countries, who have all experienced negative fluctuations in female unemployment rates in the observed period with rates at higher levels compared to 2004. Furthermore, the findings show no evidence of inequality between male and female unemployment rates in the country, however notable disparities are evident when observing unemployment among various age groups and the level of education attainment.    The paper concludes with clear policy recommendations for boosting female employment to include increasing female access to education and entrepreneurial programs, increased access to childcare, etc.    Keywords: Labour market, female unemployment; unemployment, employment.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Although the public procurement system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is represented the area of the legal profession because it is defined by laws and regulations, it is actually more important for economists and all public officials in the country. The subject of this work is theoretical. and practical aspects of applying the transparency to the system of public procurement in the context of strengthening market competition in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the market economy in general. The special significance of this work lies in the fact that for the first time, research methods were applied to reveal the market strength of the contracting authorities (buyers) and market competition among suppliers (sellers) in the public procurement market in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as measured by their market shares. Based on such findings, the relations of market strength of contracting authorities and the level of development of competition on the public procurement market in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 2010 to 2012 was examined in terms of choosing more or less transparent procurement procedures.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Investigating the Drivers of Choice Behavior in Tourism:   Corporate Image, Perceived Risk and Trust Interactions through Reputation Management]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[TThis study examines how reputation management (RM) activities influence consumers’ choice behaviors. In order to understand the relationship between them the possible consequences of RM activities such as corporate image, consumer trust, and perceived risk were analyzed as the antecedents of consumers’ choice behavior. Specifically, a structural equation model was developed for hypothesized relations between the constructs of the study. Empirical research was conducted using data from 232 individual consumers in Albania (n=109) and Turkey (n=123) to test our conceptual model. The data were analyzed through t-test and structural equation modelling (SEM). The study shows that RM activities obviously determine the constructs of corporate image and consumer trust positively, whereas they affect perceived risk by consumers negatively. The lower level of perceived risk through RM activities was found as a significant determinant of consumers’ choice behavior.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sharing Economy in Western Balkans: Potential for Rural Development (doi: 10.14706/icesos171)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: With the development of technology, especially information and communication systems, new  ways of providing services emerged, based on the model of &quot;collective consumption&quot; or &quot;sharing  economy&quot;. This represents a trending economic phenomenon when it comes to consumption. Within  sharing economy, consumers are organized by using specific technological platforms that enable them to  innovatively consume or produce a particular product/service. These models provide maximum use of  scarce resources on the basis of technological support and social capital of the community.  Consequently, efficiency and confidence are essential for the functioning of sharing economy, whose size  is estimated at 225 billion dollars by 2025. However, these trends are not evenly distributed and the  development of the sharing economy depends on a series of conditions, which will be discussed in the  paper. Thus, sharing economy makes tremendous challenges for all relevant stakeholders, especially the  governments, in the context of adjusting the regulatory framework to meet its demands. Compared to  developed countries, Western Balkan countries are significantly lagging when it comes to sharing  economy. This is reflected in the lack of foreign and domestic investment in this area. The aim of this  paper is to present the conceptual framework for this new economic trend, with the emphasis on the  current state of sharing economy in Western Balkans. Paper will focus on the discussion of development  potentials of sharing economy in the function of rural business development. Based on this, a set of  recommendations will be made for improving the state of sharing economy in the Western Balkans.    Keywords: sharing economy, Internet, rural development, Western Balkans    JEL Classification: O18, O33, M13]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Marketers define their social media platform as an essential piece to reach their consumers. The  flock of web users turning to social media to receive and convey their thoughts, opinions, and suggestions  has made social media an integral part of digital marketing. Using traditional media to advertise had  restrictions in placement and outcome while, nowadays, social media has liberated this obstacle. It has  created a platform which allows information to spread freely and at a fast pace. Using electronic word-ofmouth    in social media permits a constant connection to a vast audience. The purpose of this study is to  explore the effect of electronic word-of-mouth within the context of social media on consumer purchase  decisions. More precisely, how the familiarity of the eWOM source, the way of communication, writer’s  expertise and the popularity of a product affects the consumer&#039;s purchase decision. The data has been  gathered using quantitative research method. The sample consists of students studying in Timisoara,  Romania. The surveys were e-mailed to students’ e-mail addresses. Due to the lack of response from e-mails,  the responses were gathered using a mixture of door-to-door and online surveys methods. The questions  were answered by 200 students within a month. The results will provide the extent of impact eWOM in social  media has on the purchase decisions.     Key Words: Electronic word-of-mouth, Social media, Digital marketing, Purchase decision]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ERP SYSTEM IN DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT:  A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY REVIEW OF THE  LITERATURE IN PERIOD 2010-2015]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system represents the largest, most complex and most  demanding business information system that organizations implement, which is a big step ahead of  individual (i.e. department) applications and information systems that have prevailed in the past.  Today, when the world is dramatically dependent on the data, the need and use of the ERP systems are  steadily increasing. In the last ten years, the most important technology associated with the redesign  and standardization of the business processes in terms of best practices were ERP systems. In this  paper, a comprehensive review of published articles in various journals on the topic of ERP systems in  the period 2010-2015 has been elaborated. All processed papers have been indexed in Web of  Science (WoS) database. Since the academic knowledge about ERP systems reached a certain level of  maturity, this paper presents the bibliographic review of works in the ERP systems field and other  related areas. Analysis of the literature indicates that more and more various  research disciplines contribute to the development of the field of ERP systems. Therefore, it is  expected that the future area of research related to the ERP system depends on technical and  technological progress, and sophisticated business ideas that include functionality that are currently  outside the ERP system.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[International Relations and Policy Development of the Republic of Macedonia (doi: 10.14706/ICESOS174)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In order to recapture the essence and justification of this paper, the source of this theoretical  review we found it in the definition of statehood. After the end of the thirty years of civil war in Europe and  the signing of the peace treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the creation and development of the country began to   the form that we know today.    In terms of increasing interdependence between the countries, the question of their mutual cooperation is  essential. For the states equally important segment with internally arranged relations is the manner on  which they concern and regulate the international relations.     State boundaries are endpoints to where sovereignty lies within a country. The authorities within it regulate  the relations inside and the nature of its international positions. The highest authority, which does not  recognize any other form of higher power, is sovereignty. Considering that the law, especially the  international, is an active matter open to interpretation, although the basic features of a country are clear,  yet there are two types of states divided to a de jure- existing under law and de facto-existing in reality,  based on the matter whether and which of the characteristics of statehood they own.     Republic of Macedonia, has raised the issue of the international relations high. Confirmation of the said is  the chapter VI of the Constitution, which is dedicated to this issue. Except the Constitution, the area of the  international relations is stipulated by the Law on Foreign Affairs and the Law of signing, ratification and  execution of the international contracts. The Law on Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia, precisely  defines the concepts of &quot;foreign affairs&quot; and &quot;foreign policy&quot;.       Keywords: state, recognition, politics, government, rule, sovereignty, international relations, international  development]]></dcterms:abstract>
