In recent years, they have become carriers of economic growth, regardless these are countries with developed economies, developing countries or countries in transition. These businesses entities contribute to increasing dynamics of the economy and improving its competitiveness. Their basic role in the economic system is to solve the problem related to low economic activity, low innovation, low level of competitiveness, unequal distribution of wealth and income, as well as high unemployment rate through the creation of new jobs. In Serbia, they also represent an important economic factor of development. Given that, they have the potential for further growth and development, this paper is about analysis of the development of the entrepreneurial sector in Serbia and neighboring countries, with special reference to the period from 2015 to 2020 years.

In modern business, the quality of products and services is, not without reason, given considerable attention. That is why it is understandable that quality is considered a key business paradigm in banking as well. In particular, the quality of banking services is viewed as an essential prerequisite for gaining new clients and retaining existing ones. In this paper, scientific attention is focused on researching the factors of customer satisfaction with the quality of banking services and predicting their importance. In line with that, a descriptive \"survey\" method (survey-research method) was applied, while other methods were not completely ignored, because without of them a complete answer to all the questions could not be given. By applying factor analysis (orthogonal varimax method), five factors were obtained, which were, in further data processing and analyzing the research results, treated as the main factors of client satisfaction with the quality of banking services. One-factor analysis of variance - ANOVA - was used to predict the importance of selected factors from the client's point of view. The results of this research can contribute to the improvement of customer relations by improving the existing practice of managing customer relations.","PeriodicalId":340365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of process management and new technologies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128136404","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}

Three semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with owners and/or managers in these three wineries. The results demonstrate that all three family wineries are offering high-end product for the domestic market with smaller one still experimenting with strategic direction of innovating for high-end market while the two larger ones putting focus either on autochthonous grape varieties with eye-cathicng labels or authentic brand identity with strong storytelling. Another important aspect identified is the frugal nature of product launch in the family wineries due to limited resources.

By introducing this concept, the focus is placed on the balance sheet and not on the income sheet statement as was in the case of the historical cost concept. The goal of financial reporting is to show assets, liabilities and net assets in the balance sheet at fair value on the balance sheet date. The subject of research in this work is the application of fair value accounting, which will be shown on a concrete example in which equipment will be evaluated according to the concept of historical cost, and then the equipment will be evaluated according to the concept of fair value. After that, a comparison of these two concepts will be made, in order to present the financial effects of valuation on assets and liabilities. The importance of applying historical cost accounting is the correct periodization of income and expenses, while the importance of fair value accounting is the presentation of assets and liabilities according to current market prices. The elaborated moments resulted in the reconciliation and unification of these two concepts, which is realized by the hybrid model of financial reporting.","PeriodicalId":340365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of process management and new technologies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117099671","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 research paper explores the ways in which SD can help address GW and the ways in which GW can impact SD. The paper argues that SD can help mitigate the negative impacts of Climate Change (CC) by promoting the use of renewable energy, reducing waste and pollution, and promoting sustainable land use practices. However, achieving SD in the context of GW requires a holistic approach that balances economic, social, and environmental concerns. Furthermore, the paper discusses the ways in which GW can impact SD by disrupting ecosystems, reducing the availability of natural resources, and increasing the risk of natural disasters. It also highlights the importance of adopting policies and practices that address the root causes of GW, while promoting SD practices that benefit all people and the planet. The research paper concludes that achieving SD and addressing GW are two interconnected issues that must be prioritized to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for all people and the planet. It calls for urgent action and collaboration among governments, businesses, and individuals to adopt SD practices and reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGE).","PeriodicalId":340365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of process management and new technologies","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128455467","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}

Regardless of modality, HEIs have to ensure high-quality education in every single course. In this sense, the feedback from students is very important. The purpose of this study is to investigate students` attitudes about four dimensions of distance learning – fulfilment of preconditions, organization and realization of instructions, advantages/disadvantages of distance learning, communication and social interactions. Data was collected from 183 first-year students within three courses at The Academy of Applied Technical Studies Belgrade, and was processed in the SPSS software package. The research strategy included descriptive statistics, while the Likert scale was used to assess the satisfaction of the respondents. Analysis of variance and independent-sample t test were used to examine differences in opinions among different groups of respondents.
