  FISCAL CONSOLIDATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION - NEED AND/OR CHALLENGE

  This study examines the processes of harmonization of tax systems and double taxation avoidance problems within the European Union, with the understanding that tax harmonization is essential for the efficiency of the common economic policy within the European Community.

This study examines the processes of harmonization of tax systems and double taxation avoidance problems within the European Union, with the understanding that tax harmonization is essential for the efficiency of the common economic policy within the European Community. It gives an overview of the dynamics and integration proc¬esses within the EU, the harmonization specifics related to direct and indirect taxation and the need for double taxation avoidance within the EU. This scientific study traces the sequence of processes involved in searching for practical recommendations when making decisions in the area of fiscal policy by the Member States, aimed at building a common European space.

  CUSTOMER RESPONSE PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS USING UPLIFT MODELLING

  Traditional customer response models are based on the understanding that marketing campaign effectiveness could be measured by predicting response probabilities of each customer. Such approach seems to be very reasonable and in most cases it gives better results than random targeting. A fundamental problem of response modelling is that it does not ... Traditional customer response models are based on the understanding that marketing campaign effectiveness could be measured by predicting response probabilities of each customer. Such approach seems to be very reasonable and in most cases it gives better results than random targeting. A fundamental problem of response modelling is that it does not separate the impact of a campaign from other stimuli and spontaneous responses because response models predict the wrong thing. They model and predict response probabilities, not the change in those probabilities as a result of the given marketing intervention. Following the understanding that traditional response models do not give optimal marketing decisions, the goal of this study is to define, estimate and apply on a real data base uplift model for predicting the change in customer behaviour resulting from marketing action. The specific tasks relate to studying the opportunities of a relatively new and less familiar methodology for identifying hesitant and persuadable customers. The study illustrates the application of the direct approach for uplift modeling and demonstrates its significant advantages over targeting based on uplift models over traditional response models.

  PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION – A CONCEPT TO BE INTERTWINED IN ECONOMICS, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION CURRICULA

  The findings about the ineffective link between education and business highlight the need for closer contacts between educational institutions and all entities interested in the process of forming the image of an efficient and socially responsible manager, meeting the requirements of the globalizing business in the XXI century. The purpose of ... The findings about the ineffective link between education and business highlight the need for closer contacts between educational institutions and all entities interested in the process of forming the image of an efficient and socially responsible manager, meeting the requirements of the globalizing business in the XXI century. The purpose of the study is to reveal the opportunities for applying the principles of responsible management through introducing new elements in the education in economics, administration and management in order to create knowledge and skills for leadership and socially responsible management. Main tasks: studying the opportunities for intertwining the PRME in the curricula; specifying margins for improving formal and informal education; presenting good practices. The object of study is the principles of responsible education in management and their intertwining in the curricula of the studied disciplines. The subject of study is the theoretical and practical forms of education in economics, management and administration through which students acquire knowledge, skills and competences as a result of applying the principles of responsible management education. The intertwining of the principles of responsible management education into the theoretical and practical preparation of students in the areas of economics, administration and management is a prerequisite for the preparation of leaders that are responsible for the future is the thesis that is defended.
