The emergence of a knowledge economy requires SMEs to be embedded with intellectual capital, namely human capital, structural capital and relational capital in order to compete in the resilient business environment. Given the unique characteristics of SMEs, prior studies revealed that human capital has the strongest influence on SMEs’ performance than the other sub-elements of intellectual capital. The changes in the business environment force firms to alter their strategies in achieving their stated goals. Hence, to align between the changes in the environment and the firm's structures, systems and processes, the role of human capital must be properly identified and distinguished according to the needs in different life cycle stages. The contributions of human capital in the early stages are found to be more significant than later stages. Therefore, the aims of this conceptual paper are twofold. The paper will highlight the contribution of human capital in business performance, followed by the role of human capital in the different life cycle stages of SMEs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101040,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S2212-5671(16)00084-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80474326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these research questions are important for various reasons they are investigated in this empirical study. The objective of this study – to identify the economic and psychological factors influencing the households’ saving behavior. The research methods: the systemic, logical and comparative analysis of the scientific literature and panel regression. The results of this empirical study show that the households’ saving behavior is more irrational especially during economic downturn and financial crisis periods. These empirical findings can be explained by low degree of financial literacy, ineffective communication strategy of the central banks and governments during financial turmoil and economic downturn periods, etc.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101040,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S2212-5671(16)30309-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84213898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents the origin and the typologies of this cooperation. Macroregional, territorial and cross-border cooperation was discussed. The main aim of this article was to analyse the key determinants of the development of cross-border cooperation in the BSR, an EU macroregion. Based on literature studies, the BSR was delimited, proposing a definition of this area that is the most beneficial from economic point of view. Having performed an analysis of documents and economic data, it was proven that macroregional cooperation supports territorial cooperation in the BSR in a significant way. For this purpose, the financing devices of territorial cooperation, i.e. cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation programmes, were analysed. It was proven that the priorities of these programmes comply with the priorities of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. Furthermore, an attempt was made to analyse the organisational resources of cross-border cooperation, with particular focus on Euroregions and European groupings of territorial cooperation. A diagnosis of the state was made based on secondary and primary data obtained from interviews. It was shown that the organisational structure is not fully efficient, which is a barrier to the development of cross-border cooperation</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101040,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S2212-5671(16)30318-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84317617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unprecedented level of interdependence and interconnectedness between countries, firms and institutions has paved the way for the emergence of, both, novel practices that increase the quality of life and intriguingly complicated issues of global governance. The relationship between global actors are so intertwined that striving for predictability is barely feasible. In spite of the enhanced capabilities gained through involvement in the economic and financial value creation process, there are perils ahead for better global governance. Major issues pose global actors in terms of credibility, building and ensuring sustainability, erosion of capacity to fulfill promises and increasing fragility of financial markets as well as issues regarding depleting energy resources, environment and security. G-20 emerged as a remedial governance structure in the wake of the 2008 financial turmoil making sure that the prominent dynamic emerging countries are seated around the table. The expansion of G-8 into G-20 including the new global powerhouses has many positive implications. However, ongoing debates regarding this structure oscillate between hope and contestation. This conceptual paper intends to draw a general framework regarding the representative capability of G-20 members and discuss the hybrid quality of this so called steering committee given the era of turbulence that the world is heading towards.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101040,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S2212-5671(16)30193-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85208645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
