  MANAGING PROJECTS FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

  The main purpose of the present study is to identify possibilities for improving the management of renewable energy projects in Bulgaria. This goal is achieved by completing the following tasks – reviewing the characteristics of renewable energy project management as a factor of ecologically-oriented company policies; outlining the possibilities ... The main purpose of the present study is to identify possibilities for improving the management of renewable energy projects in Bulgaria. This goal is achieved by completing the following tasks – reviewing the characteristics of renewable energy project management as a factor of ecologically-oriented company policies; outlining the possibilities for improving management mechanisms of such projects within companies. The object of study is the renewable energy projects carried out in Bulgaria and in particular the possibilities for effective company management of photovoltaic parks. Special attention is paid to the possibilities for overcoming setbacks in the management of such projects regardless of the causes that have led to them. The study proposes a flexible model for managing renewable energy projects (photovoltaic parks) by companies as a way of implementing ecologically-oriented practices.

The tasks that are set relate to revealing the nature of green economy, as well as the reasons for green management. The object of study is the development of green economy in Bulgaria. The subject of study is the changes to be made in the national economy of the Republic of Bulgaria so that humane green economy will be built. The paper advocates the idea that in order for life on Earth to survive, today's economy, stimulating social inequality and waste of natural resources, must be replaced by a steady green economy. Naturally, this should be done globally by consensus of all countries in the world and mutual respect for their interests. There are many possible ways of Bulgaria’s integration into the European and world economy, but in economic terms building a green economy is the most justifiable way.

  PREDICTING DEMAND OF BUNDLED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES USING DISCRETE CHOICE-BASED MODELS

  This study explores consumer choice of bundled telecommunications services and empirically investigates some new possibilities of menu-based choice models for explaining and predicting the share of preferences. It demonstrates how to use menu-based conjoint analysis, aggregate multinomial logit and hierarchical Bayes models in order to estimate ... This study explores consumer choice of bundled telecommunications services and empirically investigates some new possibilities of menu-based choice models for explaining and predicting the share of preferences. It demonstrates how to use menu-based conjoint analysis, aggregate multinomial logit and hierarchical Bayes models in order to estimate part-worth utilities of attributes and price levels of digital telecommunications services for home users. A spreadsheet-based analytical simulation model for predictive analysis of the demand structure for alternative scenarios is composed based on empirical estimates of preferences. Our research purpose is to offer and demonstrate opportunities for optimal planning of product bundles that match the actual and potential customers’ expectations and willingness to pay.
