This global risk has affected many individuals, organizations, and economic sectors, causing recession, fear of losing one’s life and the lives of close ones, losing jobs, business bankruptcy. Due to the pandemic, people’s behaviour and life priorities have changed, influencing the development of awareness of the needs for life insurance. Furthermore, changes have affected the functioning of insurance companies, their needs to adapt to the changed environment, and finding ways to remain sustainable. The subject of this paper is an empirical analysis of the COVID-19 impacts on the life insurance development in Serbia. The aim of this paper is to point out the current trends in the domestic market of life insurance, and possible development directions for this type of insurance in an unpredictable and turbulent environment, based on the analysis of research results before and during the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":297384,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Scientific Conference - FINIZ 2021","volume":"13 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":"114304791","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}

In many studies, SMEs cite access to funding sources as one of the biggest barriers to business growth and development. In Serbia, bank lending is the main external source of financing for SMEs. However, in addition to the restrictions from the aspect of banks and the restrictions from the aspect of these enterprises, the restrictions on difficult lending to SMEs also come from the institutional and regulatory support of our country. EU regulations and strategic documents of our country are increasingly emphasizing the provision of adequate financing and lending conditions for SMEs, given that these companies are the backbone of each country's economy. It is especially important to preserve this sector in the period of the current crisis, by choosing adequate measures, subsidies and state guarantees. This paper aims to present the most significant limitations in giving loans to SMEs, from the regulatory-institutional aspect, i.e. limitations that can be removed or at least mitigated by adequate regulations.","PeriodicalId":297384,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Scientific Conference - FINIZ 2021","volume":"22 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":"115942690","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}

The measures that are applied depend on the information requirements, the set goals, and the defined business strategy of the company. The traditional approach to measuring company performance places emphasis on financial parameters that are expressed quantitatively, thus creating the possibility of dynamic observation of the phenomenon in continuous time periods. In contrast to this approach, the modern approach, in addition to financial, uses non-financial performance measures that are expressed and categorized qualitatively, in accordance with the needs of key stakeholders. The focus of the traditional approach is on analyzing and improving the short-term performance of the company, while the modern approach is dominated by the pursuit of long-term company value.","PeriodicalId":297384,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Scientific Conference - FINIZ 2021","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":"130246876","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}

It has became apparent that keeping pace with the contemporary digital solutions enables companies to improve and continuously update and optimize their processes and activities in order to meet the needs of different target groups. The aim of this paper is to indicate the importance of digital product management and digital communication possibilities and solutions in business and social environments in order to set a human-centred connectivity. By analyzing the effectiveness of various communication tools for distance collaboration, the researchers came to the conclusion that although the increase in the use of all-things-digital was expected, all of the subsequent, and even some unforeseen effects of the fast transition to digital are reshaping customers’ landscape.","PeriodicalId":297384,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Scientific Conference - FINIZ 2021","volume":"27 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113976971","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}
