The subject of this paper is communication with customers through social networks in the eight largest Croatian companies. To this end, eight of the most well-known retail chains in Croatia were selected and analyzed in mid-2019, five of which are grocery stores and three are specialized drugstore chains. The paper aims to analyze the type and intensity of two-way communication (between retail chains and customers) through the social networks used by retail chains for promotional activities in the Republic of Croatia. Three social networks were analyzed: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. A signif icant proportion of retailers have recognized the benefits of advertising through social networks, but still, some have not recognized social networks as a platform for two-way communication between followers and retailers.","PeriodicalId":260018,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127145800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Papp-Váry","doi":"10.31410/itema.2019.149","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2019.149","url":null,"abstract":": In Africa, where 60% of the population is under 25 years, the enormous and diverse business environment suffers from a number of problems, ranging from access to funding to gaps in government support and weaknesses in the education system. Undoubtedly, there is the need for better governance among the continent’s nations in order to catch up and to develop creative economies with high added value products. Considering Kenya, the information and communication industry can be a breakthrough point thanks to positive, “enabler regulation” and governmental support. The authors believe that the IT sector could serve as an “escape card” from the captivity of history and geography. Astonishingly, 85% of the population is employed in agriculture while the country is called ”Silicon Savannah”. 43 financial institutions, around 1000 startups and an emerging FinTech ecosystem can be identified with several dominant Chinese and Indian corporates. Furthermore, Google, IBM and other tech multina tionals are also present. IBM opened its 12th development center in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital found in 1899 with a current population of 5.6 million. Large technology companies are promoting business and idea competitions across the continent in the field of internet and communication technologies. Since half of the 580.367 km2 country is arid or semi-arid, the Kenyan market is also interesting for foreign AgriTech companies besides the IT industry. It is indisputable that large companies cannot replace the government in creating the basis of a prosperous business environment, nonetheless they do have a beneficial effect on the building of networks and providing opportunities for ideas to emerge. Univer sities can achieve similarly positive results. The Stanford alumni network has already been successful in Africa. By the coordinated activities of former students outside California the organization creates jobs, generates revenue, and has a positive social impact. Kenya has undergone significant political, structural and economic reforms over the past decade, largely contributing to sustainable economic growth and social development. The August 2010 Constitution introduced a new system of political and economic governance that promoted a greater level of investments, strengthened accountability and the development of local public services. Forecasts for the near future show that GDP growth is expected to rise to 5.8 percentage points in 2019, supported by a boom in agriculture, a more favourable business climate and a reduction of political uncertainty. In the medium term, GDP growth is projected to 6% in 2020, depending on private sector credit growth, ongoing remittances, debt and expenditure manage ment and global oil prices. However, the main challenges are still poverty, inequality, climate change, economic exposure and vulnerability to internal and external shocks. Kenya has every chance of becoming a success story for Africa through its growing young population,","PeriodicalId":260018,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture","volume":"457 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115935826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

National culture determines the rules that determine how businesses operate in a social context. There are different cultures in the world today, so, from the point of view of international management it is very important to understand their influence on thinking, beliefs, behaviors, percep -tions, managers’ attitudes, their stereotypes, ideology, approach to strategy formulation, decision making, attitude towards risk, attitude towards cooperation and competition, orientation towards stability or innovation, and tendency towards change. The primary role of intercultural management is based on the creation of patterns that will follow the flow of national specificity in the field of international busi ness. The aim of this scientific discipline is based on achieving better integration of different peoples and raising the level of tolerance in international business. The commonly used foreign trade analysis indicators in international business rely on import-export components and their volume. The purpose of this paper is to show, in addition to basic indicators of trade, the extent to which the multicultural effect has contributed to the development of trade relations of individual countries and to determine the possibility of creating conditions for optimal business in the globalization world. The methodology of work will be based on research of customer orientation and their preferences for individual products in accordance with primary indicators and indicators based on intercultural bases.","PeriodicalId":260018,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130156501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This change has had significant implications for the Italian museums, introducing new managerial practices that has an impact on the system museum overall. Usually, public museums are supported by public funds. The autonomy could be a first step in overcoming critical issues that could be found in museums, aimed at supporting strategic and decision-making objectives and evaluating performance. Often, the literature has revealed that the lack of managerial cultural is due to barriers (ideological, technical and, organizational) that do not permit the development of managerial practices. Through a documental analysis, it has been investigated the main management innovations and its accounting implications.

Care for the quality and way of life of the population integrated into this concept takes into account the needs in the context of intense globalization and fast-growing markets of present and future generations. Among the economic activities, it is necessary to identify those that contribute most to the economic growth and sustainable development in terms of development opportunities. Considering that the Republic of Serbia occupies a favorable geographical position, has significant natural resources and a good workforce, agriculture stands out as one of the economic activities that significantly contribute to economic growth, with recognizable development potentials. Organic production makes a significant contribution to achieving the goals of a green economy and green growth. Thanks to well-defined principles and standards, as well as a certification system, its positive impact on the health and life of all living things, the environment and natural resources is enabled. Both of these concepts are based on the same principles and offer numerous opportunities for improving the standard of living, developing underdeveloped countries and achieving sustainable development. In European countries, organic production is a model for sustainable rural development. The intention of this paper is to investigate the possibilities and necessary incentive measures for the sustainable development of organic agriculture in the Republic of Serbia and compare the organic food production growth in European countries and in Serbia.","PeriodicalId":260018,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133915236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is why it is so important to interest in this issue the greatest number of researchers who could comprehensively conduct research on these phenomena in an open knowledge exchange model. This is an extremely important and urgent problem, especially in the area of effective models and methods of public management that will enable effective management of space, accessibility and mobility so that cities develop intelligently, not only intensively, and to exclude extensive development as much as possible - deprived of control and affecting many areas of public and social life, the natural environment and, above all, the quality of life of residents. The authors of research indicate the impact of suburbanization on the perceptible and real quality of life of suburban residents. It seems necessary to take a systematic approach to the phenomenon of suburbanization and to make an attempt to shape it by the local government thanks to responsible public management in this area, which is particularly important in the broader context, when taking into account the full economic, psychological and social costs that the whole society incurs as a result of the spill Polish cities regardless of their size.","PeriodicalId":260018,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130721123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an element of financial accounting, it is associated with the implementation of various functions attributed to accounting. However, the area of financial reporting itself is divided into two elements single reporting and consolidated reporting. Consolidated reporting is a characteristic process with its own procedures and assumptions. Therefore, the question should be asked whether the differences do not affect the implementation of the basic accounting function information function. The purpose of the article is to present the impact of implementing the characteristic procedures of the financial statements consolidation process on the implementation of the accounting information function. The study was divided into three parts, preceded by an introduction and completed with conclusions. The first part describes the essence of the accounting function with particular emphasis on the information function. The second part presents a model process of consolidating financial statements according to IFRS regulations.
