The overview of the Macedonian macroeconomic indicators in the period 2016-2021 serves as a basis for identifying the macroeconomics trends, as well as outlining the areas of poli-cy-making where outstanding risk-management would be necessary in the mid/ long term. The research indicate that major macroeconomic policy challenges relate to public debt management, budget deficit and inflation. The external shocks such as COVID-19, rising energy and food prices (as implication of the Russian invasion in Ukraine) have contributed the most to the imbalances. The GDP growth has been largely affected by the global development. In purpose of acceleration of the GDP growth, several issues must be addressed - low productivity; low rate of innovations and technological development; unfavorable structure of the economy: mismatch among the labour market demand and supply, as well as education which does not reflect the needs of the economy. The paper provides recommendations about policy outlook and actions necessary for improvement of the state of affairs in the mentioned areas.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76261998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the world was entering lockdown, this showed as an opportunity for digital activities, such as e-commerce, to grow exponentially as the sole method for purchasing products and services in this period. The paper focuses on three different types of e-com - merce activities, business-to-business, business-to-commerce and m-commerce, analyzing their state before and during the pandemic years. National economies of developed and countries in transition are also analyzed, to show the growth of e-commerce in various settings. Special focus is placed on the country of North Macedonia, as an economy in transition, and the levels of acceptance of e-commerce from 2017 on-wards. Data from the research shows that the steady rise of e-commerce in the country is accelerated in pandemic years, however total level of GMV is still below developed countries. Companies that haven’t adapted to digital activities can be left behind, as the whole world is shifting based on the pandemic response. The research shows several relevant conclusions, such as the expected rise of B2B e-commerce as the primary method of purchasing on a company level, as well as the enormous impact of m-commerce sales that is expected after pandemic years.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80225483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, new innovative technologies have appeared that have the capacity to make an even bigger revolution. These are technologies for automating processes with robotics, speech recognition and natural language processing. These forms of automation aim to automate business processes to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce the time employees spend performing repetitive tasks and processing huge amounts of data from different systems. Since the aforementioned structured and manual processes can be performed by robots, employees could focus their time and effort on performing analytical and creative tasks, thereby increasing the added value of business activities. In this paper, the aforementioned types of automation of business processes in the customer care department in the telecommunication sector are analyzed. In order to investigate customer satisfaction with the presented innovative solutions for the automation of business processes for customer care in the telecommunication sector in the Republic of North Macedonia and Austria, a survey was conducted through a specially designed questionnaire for the purposes of this paper.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77660345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurements of quality of life can not be just a canonical representation of the economic development of countries and their popula-tions. They should, in fact, encompass the whole of life, namely the objective and subjective perception of the individual about the quality of life. The economic measure of GDP for measuring the quality of life can not estimate the quality of life, therefore we move to a more comprehensive range of indicators when it comes to measuring the quality of life of the citizens in a country, more specifically the Republic of North Macedonia. This research paper looks to present the material living conditions and economic security of the people of North Macedonia as a part of quality of life indicators proposed by Eurostat. The statistics’ indications show that the Republic of North Macedonia regarding the material living conditions is at a relatively adverse level. There is still a large percentage of people living in severe material conditions or at the poverty threshold and the pandemic is causing that value to rise. . Furthermore, most analyses indicate that the population live in conditions of economic insecurity, and the pandemic additionally jeopardized and influenced its increase. Therefore, social economic measures and changes are needed, which can improve the material conditions for the life of the population, reduce the percentage of those living on the margins and increase the economic security of the population.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88554693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
