Knowledge management – a source of sustainable competitiveness in the knowledge based economy
2006
Confirming the well known thesis knowledge is power, A. Toffler argued that the knowledge based society represents the acme of the human society development and P. Drucker said that the developed countries passing through the knowledge based society represents the biggest change of the modern world. That made possible and helped the emerging of the managerial revolution (defined as knowledge applied to knowledge itself) at the firm’s level. Under these circumstances, knowledge has to be seen as a strategic resource – source of competitive advantages and of managerial performances as well. Considering this, a firm’s management have to define a coherent behavioral model in order to seriously …

REFLECTIONS ON MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION
2012
Modern management has given an extremely important place to managerial communication. It considers communication as a vital component of the managerial system of all organizations. A successful manager is the one that can communicate with the persons that he or she is leading, and the performance of an organization can be conditioned by the manner in which managers communicate. The identification of employees with the organizational goals, their channeling of efforts for the common objectives, the ability of the manager to assess the results of his or her decisions can be accomplished only by using the resources of managerial communication. A laconic, delayed or confused managerial communic…

Some Considerations Regarding the Role and Importance of Talent Management
2018
The fact that human resources are an indispensable, vital resource, is unanimously accepted. Human resources enhance, improve the other resources and stand at the origin of all the performances of the company, of the achievement of its mission and goals. Every organization needs the right and talented people, specialists. Not only does an individual’s talent matter, it makes a difference. It is what grants more value to the company. Successful organizations are the ones that know how to find talented people, how to attract them, how to keep them and, particularly, how to enhance their talents.
Status versus nature of work : pre-service language teachers envisioning their future profession

Considering the central role of identity in understanding teacher development, this paper addresses the ways in which pre-service language teachers envision their identities as future professionals. The paper is based on a qualitative study of 61 students’ visualisations of their future work during their first semester in language teacher education. The visualisations and accompanying descriptive texts were analysed using the principles of qualitative content analysis. In the analysis, two different ways of perceiving future professions, and thereby identities as professionals, were identified. The first was a nature-oriented perspective that focused on desired characteristics of the profes…

Technological change and wage premiums: historical evidence from linked employer-employee data
2013
This study analyses the impacts of a technological change (the steam engine) on wage premiums. Using historical employer–employee panel data, we found that steam technology had both new skill-demanding and skill-replacing aspects. The former manifested itself as an increase in the demand for high-skilled engineers, the latter in a decline in the demand for intermediate-skilled, able-bodied seamen and an increase in the demand for unskilled engine room operators. Our panel data analysis, which controls for unobserved heterogeneity, implies that high-skilled labourers in abstract tasks and unskilled labourers in manual tasks improved their wage positions relative to intermediate-skilled labou…
