Given the challenges of increasing global competition and the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, urban destinations must adequately identify the key dimensions of their attractiveness and ensure their visibility and differentiation. The purpose of this paper is to identify the role that different dimensions of tourist attractiveness have in managing the brand of an urban tourist destination, with a special focus on forming the expectations, attitudes and intentions of potential tourists. The methodology used in the paper includes: theoretical conceptualization of urban tourist destination, definition of dimensions of tourist attractiveness and determining the role that dimensions of tourist attractiveness have in managing the brand of urban tourist destinations. One of the conclusions of the research presented in the paper is that the dimensions of tourist attractiveness, both physical and social, play a key role in the strategic processes of brand management of an urban tourist destination.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","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":"129422771","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 is especially pronounced in the identification of signatories and entry of accurate and true data when amending notarial documents. The nature of notarial work allows risk assessment to determine the level of risk of money laundering and terrorist financing with an individual party, business relation, financial instrument, and transaction. Therefore, this profession is obliged to assess the risk at the level of taxpayers, which includes reports of suspicious transactions. The essential tool for preventing fraud is the justified denial of official action of a notary public due to the nullity of a legal transaction, achieving an evidently inadmissible or unfair goal, as well as due to committing criminal offenses, inability to comply with essential formalities when drawing up a notarial document, i.e. official certification of private documents, and lack of power of attorney and for other justified reasons if the party is not authorized to undertake and conclude a legal transaction.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"68 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":"114362395","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}

Therefore, increasing attention is paid to the issue of risk management. This paper presents a theoretical and practical contribution to understanding the importance of risk management systems in Croatian companies operating in international markets. Modern business conditions are discussed in the introduction, and then the term “risk management system” is conceptually discussed. The research part of the paper presents the results of empirical research on the perception of respondents about the degree of development of risk management systems in their companies using the “Weight of Evidence” method. The “Weight of Evidence” method is a method used to calculate the value of the strength of the influence of each represented variable from the observed samples on the defined target variable. A low level of system development has been established. Risk management systems, unfortunately, are only used by large companies. The application of a comprehensive risk management system can significantly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s business, and accelerate the economic development of the Republic of Croatia.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"6 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":"123923655","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}

To achieve this goal, knowledge management benefits from the continuous and rapid development of information technology. Various technologies and tools can be used to support knowledge management processes and the most prominent for organizations of all sizes is Web 2.0. But Web 3.0 is starting to give new possibilities to better manage knowledge and thus gain a competitive advantage. This paper analyses current opportunities that Web 2.0, with its user-generated content, provides to organizations – especially in a turbulent environment, by facilitating knowledge management processes. Web 2.0 tools are examined according to their use for specific processes and their future potential for organizations. The Paper also investigates possibilities of Web 3.0 features, such as decentralization and connectivity, as well as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, for the new era of knowledge management. Those arising technologies promise more opportunities for better use of knowledge in organizations.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"58 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":"129845860","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 assessment is performed by converting the input quantities into quantitative quantities and setting quantitative criteria for the sensitivity assessment. The aim of this paper is to analyze the extent to which the risks posed by doing business in a global environment can be predicted and quantified in advance and assessing the adequacy of the sensitivity analysis for project evaluation in conditions of uncertainty. The specifics of the sensitivity analysis and the increase in the risks that international business and the latest world events impose were pointed out. The analysis shows that some forms of risk can be predicted, quantified and used in assessing the profitability of investment projects. Recent developments in the global environment, related to the pandemic and geopolitical decisions, like the domino effect, greatly affect a number of risks that must not be neglected when assessing the profitability of international investment projects.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","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":"133893417","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}

Restructuring the existing processes to implement the technical requirements is a challenge for the established OEMs, who must establish new value chains in addition to the existing ones. The established OEMs are thus challenged to configure a management system in their strategic planning that meets the future requirements and allows them to remain competitive. Ultimately, however, the customers are the most important factor, as all planning and degrees of fulfillment are oriented towards them. The key question is thus: How can OEMs strategically align their value chains, taking all factors into account so that they are considered resilient and robust? As a factor of the possibilities of strategic alignment of value chains, the EU project ‘GAIA-X’, which is currently being developed, is considered in this paper.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","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":"131282441","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}

During the pandemic, there were apparent changes in purchasing patterns in the market given the uncertainty in the markets. The uncertainty in markets generally leads to caution in spending and encouragement of saving. Another major driver of the change of behavior was the introduction of various anti-pandemic rules and lockdowns. Restrictions led to deferred consumption which was apparent in the global economy in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. This paper provides an insight into consumer motivation in the digital economy and the changes associated with such behavior in the pandemic and post-pandemic era. The nature and characteristics of digital business models were essential during the pandemic not just because of the reduction of transaction cost and thus higher efficiency but also because of the necessity of social distancing.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"100 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":"122687988","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}
