Specifically, it assessed the behaviour of share prices in relation to accounting information in terms of earnings per share, book value per share, dividends per share and return on assets. The study adopted the expo-facto research design and the study elements covered all the 18 listed Deposit Money Banks; out of which, 10 Banks were selected as the study participants and this was achieved through a random sampling technique. The study covered 10 years, spanning from 2010-2019 and data were sourced from the fact book of the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) and audited annual financial reports of the sampled banks. The estimation technique adopted in this study was panel data analysis technique. This was carried out after descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. It was discovered that earnings per share, book value per share and dividends per share exert a positive and significant effect on stock prices and that return on assets exerts a positive and insignificant effect on stock prices. Based on the findings, it was established that accounting information has a positive effect on stock prices. Thus, it was recommended that timely and adequate accounting information should be made available by the management of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria to induce the interest of investors and that investors are urged to pay more attention to earnings per share, book value per share and dividend per share in their investment decisions","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.

This study has considered three inputs, such as capital, labor, and raw materials and other inputs for the mathematical analysis of the production procedures of the industry. In the present competitive global economy policy, to survive strongly, there is no alternate of sustainable economy. For the survival of an industry, profit maximization policy is vital. To acquire maximum profit, the production unit of the industry must be run in an efficient way.

Then we presented theoretical aspects of human resource management, so that we can approach a research study in the second part of the paper. Also, we analyzed the CONEREPЕT SA company, and, like the research study, we dealt with the motivation of human resources within the company. We chose this topic due to the experience in the field.We concluded that human resources are primary among those needs and resources available to the organization in carrying out the activity to achieve its objectives and, consequently, it is logical to pay special attention to their management. At the center of all business are the people. All other resources, land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, or money are only of secondary importance. Business cannot be done without people. Businesses have no other purpose than to serve people's needs.[1] We will not divulge the name of the company where we conducted the case study for security reasons of the data and information provided.

Such aim will be achieved through the analysis of a sample of 27 entities from the “family firms from Romania” group. The statistical hypothesis underlying the specification of the model is one according to which selected variables will distinguish the performing family firms from the non-performing ones, regardless of ownership. The article addresses an alternative possibility for assessing the financial performance of family businesses, namely a model created by Carton, R. The complex indicator created by Carton, R, is composed of performance factors such as asset growth, debt change and degree change survival rate (Z-score change), calculated using the Statev coefficient, Z-score. The indicators that were used are extracted from both the Entities’ Balance Sheet and their Profit and Loss Account (on-line), while the modelling is carried out through the Excel statistical modelling.","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.

Based on the conducted multi-criteria analysis, the author concludes that Germany, Sweden, France and the Netherlands have the best innovation performance, so that these countries are the closest to achieving the goals of a highly competitive economy and sustainable economic development. On the other hand, Romania, Cyprus, Slovakia and Croatia show the weakest innovation potential, followed by other newer EU members.","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.

The study used panel regression analysis. The results of the study showed that interest rates and import duties have a significant and positive effect on the performance of supranational corporations in Nigeria. The study further found that corporate income tax and exchange rate have a significant and negative impact on the performance of supranational corporations in Nigeria. Based on the results, the study concluded that international transfer pricing has a significant impact on the performance of supranational companies in Nigeria, particularly when international transfer pricing is measured using interest rates, exchange rates, corporate income taxes and import duties; while performance is measured by profit after tax. The study therefore recommended that supranational companies should develop a system to defend themselves against exchange rate and corporate taxes caused by unforeseen exchange rate movements and double taxation.","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.

All patients can be considered as COVID-positive, but pharmacists will offer them the same services and care as before.In the last 15 years, Romania has faced a complex socio-demographic process.The decrease in the birth rate, the general mortality rate and the emigration of the young population led both to the aging of the working age population and to the decrease of the total population of the country.All this aspect led to the reduction of the population size and required a rethinking of the health services system of social protection, in view of prolonging the active life of the population both from the point of view of the quality of the services offered and of the infrastructural facilities.The consumption of services represents an indicator of the quality of life, which we want to discuss in this article.","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.

Despite the functioning of Sino-Nigerian bilateral relations, Nigerians have resented and criticized every socio-economic interaction. Concern was raised about the alleged disadvantages on Nigeria's fragile economy by the dumping of inferior Chinese industrial products in Nigeria. Some scholars claim that Nigeria's investment in China has less opportunities to survive due to the restrictions on employment and visa restrictions faced by many Nigerians to explore business opportunities in China. It is against this backdrop, this study examined the relationship between Nigeria and China, accessing their strategic relevance and the current challenges in their bilateral relations. The study also pinpoint into Sino-Nigeria relations during the novel corona virus. This work adopts the historical method of discuss and analysis in understanding the Nigeria-China bilateral relations from 2000 till the covid-19 era. In other to properly do this, this paper looks at primary and secondary sources such as books, newspaper reports, interviews, journal articles among others. The study adopted the Neoliberal Institutionalism theory to explain Sino-Nigeria bilateral relations. The findings from the study showed that the bilateral relations benefited China more in terms of trade, its unwillingness to assist Nigeria curb unemployment challenges and the failure to transfer technology to Nigeria. Given that the relationship is lopsided, the study concludes that Nigeria’s problems cannot be solved by China as the former must learn from China’s hard way to industrialization. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":114591,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Spiru Haret University.
