The opening of a branch is possible. It is the right of an insurer domiciled in a Member State but is an obligation of an insurer from a third country. This means that the insurer from a Member State may use any of the other options for conducting insurance business whereas an insurer from a third country may conduct insurance and reinsurance only after entering the branch in the commercial register under the provisions of the Commerce Act. It is these different options that directed the author's interest in the chosen topic. The main objective pursued in the proposed project is to trace the historical development of regulations about how to conduct insurance business in our country, to give a legal description of the branch of an insurer and to compare an insurer in an EU Member State and an insurer from a third country.

The present study is a natural continuation of the authors’ longstanding interest in corporate knowledge and the approaches for its management, finding expression in the development of three research projects and numerous publications in this field of science. In view of the fact that knowledge becomes increasingly crucial for the existence, development and prosperity of companies in today's economic climate, the issue about the approaches (ways) for acquiring new corporate knowledge comes to the foreground. One of these ways is staff training. Today, in times of crisis, the shortage of financial resources in Bulgarian enterprises restricts the use of the other methods known in business practice. Therefore, staff training becomes the most affordable method for generating the necessary knowledge tailored to the specific corporate processes of an enterprise. In this respect the study analyzes the extent to which Bulgarian companies take advantage of opportunities provided by the training for generating new corporate knowledge as well as the problems accompanying its implementation.

  APPLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SCHEMES FOR HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN BULGARIA

  Human capital development requires lots of investments. They can actually be estimated and implemented by an individual, a business organization or the state. The usefulness of the investments is evaluated in terms of the effectiveness which they bring to the development of subjects and the implementation of their knowledge, skills and habits. The ... Human capital development requires lots of investments. They can actually be estimated and implemented by an individual, a business organization or the state. The usefulness of the investments is evaluated in terms of the effectiveness which they bring to the development of subjects and the implementation of their knowledge, skills and habits. The European Union funds various projects and schemes for unemployed and employed people related to the human factor development: „Back to Work”, „Development”, „Adaptability”, „I can”. We have tried to outline the main features of the above schemes. We analyzed them in terms of their realization putting emphasis on two regions with the highest unemployment rate – Montana and Smolyan. Particular atten¬tion is paid to the scheme „I can” and in particular to statistical data analyses and their links to data from the empirical research among service providers and individuals in¬volved in the scheme. We used data from the Employment Agency, opinions of experts and professionals engaged in implementing the schemes and based on the analysis we reached certain conclusions and offered some proposals.
