Reliance on oil and natural gas imports remains the biggest threat to energy security as countries exporting these energy sources have the opportunity to introduce unilateral measures to restrict their supply and influence changes in their prices. In addition, the constriction of the infrastructure for the renewable energy sector also depends on a regular supply of critical resources such as oil and gas. In a situation burdened with uncertainty and in the impossibility of reliable strategic planning, in the geo-economics sense, the appearance of changed dependence relations in the energy sector can be expected.","PeriodicalId":55747,"journal":{"name":"Megatrend Revija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70994731","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}

Companies should show they care about their employees by giving them opportunities for promotion and development. The aim of this paper is to compare the staff training and development programs in the national hotels in Serbia with programs in international hotel chains. In order to achieve a predefined goal, we used the method of comparative analysis. Data for analysis were collected by researching the existing literature, the official hotel websites and interviewing managers in national hotels in Serbia. The results indicate that the staff training and development programs are more advanced in the international hotel chains. Management in the national hotels in Serbia is determined to follow different staff training and development programs. However, they should invest more in establishing more programs, especially those aimed at their staff's development which they can copy from the international hotel chains. The results of this research can be useful to hotel managers in the creation process of their own innovative staff training and development programs.","PeriodicalId":55747,"journal":{"name":"Megatrend Revija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70993255","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 new way of doing business within the overall socio-economic relations that prevail in the economy of the transition country requires new and modern solutions that will strengthen major business decisions of top management. Internal audit in its new context of existence in companies is based on: realistic planning of internal audit, taking each business segment as part of the business, starting point in a constructive approach to internal audit, regular reporting to top management, and giving suggestions to top management to implement actions on based on the internal auditor's report.

Kamara","doi":"10.5937/megrev2101023d","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/megrev2101023d","url":null,"abstract":"Provided the tensions and challenges found in different types of governance systems for developing clear objectives, effective policy implementation strategies, as well as monitoring and reporting mechanisms aimed at improving efficiency and sustainability of initiatives, this paper seeks to contribute to both theoretical and practical debates surrounding cooperative governance and LED. Whilst better policy outcomes that fit with local and differentiated needs among stakeholders may be one of the drivers for moving towards cooperative governance, there is a normative question of accountability. Does the common feature of flexible and adaptable arrangements in cooperative governance create accountability deficit, specifically promoting laissez-faire approach commonly associated with the implementation among role-players? This paper considers this question and the extent to which accountability may be ensured. To address these concerns data were collected from six municipalities in Western Cape, South Africa. A qualitative research design paradigm based on Interpretivists/Constructivists philosophy was employed. Data were collected through three data collection instruments, namely, document review, interviews and focus group discussions. This paper argues that employing Key Performance Indicators as commonly used in the public service to promote accountability is difficult to enforce specifically in collaborative endeavors where participatory is voluntary. The paper recommends some accountability promotion enhancers. This will assist in improving the understanding of the context that may inhibit or enable stakeholders in taking full advantage of collaborative-led developmental interventions to further peoples' lives and to enhance their opportunities to partake in matters of development in their municipalities.","PeriodicalId":55747,"journal":{"name":"Megatrend Revija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70991922","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}

Their economic perspective depends, among other things, on the crisis communication strategy they are pursuing, as well as crisis-adapted marketing strategies. The emphasis lies on utilizing all resources needed to restore confidence and increase demand for tourism facilities. All forms of communication have recently undergone a transformation, so previous marketing rules no longer apply in full. Messages we have up until now sent to customers must be eliminated. The crises communication rules have to be established and adhered to. Each phase of a crises implies specific communication rules. Therefore, companies which actively communicate with a broad spectrum of the public during the COVID-19 crisis, especially with their existing and potential clients, have a better chance of a faster economic recovery.

Lately, and probably under the influence of a crisis situation caused by a pandemic, in which people are generally more concerned about the existence of their family members and themselves, this marketing strategy seems to have an even stronger impact. The use of nostalgia in a virtual environment is especially interesting. Although seemingly incompatible, the digital environment has proven to be very adequate for the application of these methods. Today, a large number of applications offer the possibility of converting new digital photos and video content into old ones (with the help of various filters), the topic of streaming movie and TV shows content is increasingly placed in some earlier eras, which did not bypass the video game industry.
