A HUMAN RESOURCE ONTOLOGY FOR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
2009
In this paper we propose a model of ontology for the human resource domain. We emphasize the benefits resulting from the application of Semantic Web technologies in the recruitment process. We use currently available standards and classifications to develop a human resource ontology which gives us means for semantic annotation of job postings and applications. Furthermore, we outline the process of semantic matching which improves the quality of query results. Finally, we propose the architecture of an evaluation system based on Semantic Web technologies.
Competitiveness, Economic Freedom and Real Exchange Rate. Evidence from Romania
2006
In the new context of European Integration, Romania has to improve some important macroeconomic indicators, such as: competitiveness, economic freedom and real exchange rate for a sustainable economic growth. Many authors emphasize that competitiveness and economic freedom affects economic growth through stimulating investment and business environment. The equilibrium exchange rate is crucial as it directly influences external competitiveness, especially through export prices. For Romania, the competitiveness can be improved through the economic freedom growth and the real exchange rate appreciation. But this appreciation must be accompanied by a rise in productivity and in the quality of t…
Inequality and poverty in a developing economy: Evidence from regional data (Spain, 1860-1930)
2015
Apart from measuring inequality and poverty at the provincial level in Spain between 1860 and 1930, this paper empirically assesses the relationship between economic growth and both inequality and destitution. The results, on the one hand, confirm the presence of a KuznetsÕ curve. However, although growing incomes did not directly contribute to reducing inequality, at least during the early stages of modern economic growth, other processes associated with economic growth significantly improved the situation of the bottom part of the population. On the other hand, growing incomes and lower inequality levels are shown to have been pro-poor.

BENCHMARKING FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
2015
Benchmarking can represent a rich source of inspiration for creative managers and employees who want to eliminate the mistakes of the past and to find new ways that lead to performance. After a research made from secondary sources, we proposed a new type of benchmarking, designed especially for a sustainable development: the "green-benchmarking". For its applying, a new evaluation index system is required.
SOME REFLECTIONS CONCERNING THE CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS OF ROMANIA
2012
We address these issues, which we consider fundamental for Romania and not only, in a time when the impact of the economic crisis and of the IMF loan are far from being shaped conceptually and pragmatically, as solutions.We, unfortunately alone, express the view that this devastating phenomenon - the crisis - has two distinct components: a real one, induced by the errors that were made, especially in the banking system and a psychological one of fear, of the disorder, the arbitrary restriction of activity, etc., therefore generated out of ignorance, which in our opinion has the largest impact.Regarding the IMF loan, we want to warn that any borrowing for consumption has dramatic consequence…

Sustainable Development and Technological Impact on CO 2 Reducing Conditions in Romania
2015
Climate change is a reality all over the world, and its complexity is increasing. Therefore, sustainability has become a national and international concern, ingrained in many organizational processes. The ability of organizations to respond to sustainability concerns is sometimes hindered by the complexity of integrating sustainability into business models and by the need to rethink their strategic directions. In Romania, sustainable development has become a priority for businesses, but even though companies are showing some concern, there are yet to demonstrate any full commitment (they are mainly concerned with areas such as society and the environment). This paper assesses Romania’s invo…
Ostacoli e determinanti dell’innovazione: un’analisi sulle imprese siciliane di successo
2010
Questo lavoro intende contribuire ad ampliare la precedente indagine Res sull’innovazione in Sicilia, soffermandosi in particolare ad analizzare i principali fattori di ostacolo alla realizzazione di innovazioni. In generale, le nostre elaborazioni mettono in evidenza l'esistenza di elevati livelli di percezione delle barriere territoriali esterne imposte dalle carenze del contesto (infrastrutture, pubblica amministrazione, servizi alle imprese etc.). Tuttavia, le nostre stime fanno emergere l’importanza delle barriere economiche e delle barriere relazionali nel determinare soprattutto le innovazioni di processo. Un altro risultato della ricerca sottolinea l’elevato grado di interdipendenza…
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS - SCENARIOS FOR ROMANIA
2012
Competitiveness remains a continuous concern of nations in any stage of development, from factor based economy to innovation based economy. The present paper aims to emphasize the current level of national competitiveness of Romania, on one hand, and to identify possible ways to improve the current level by building scenarios in order to eliminate the uncertainty, on the other hand. The paper proposes four scenarios for increase GCI (growth competitiveness index) and four scenarios from pessimistic point of view (in these scenarios GCI will be decrease). In the near future, Romania must improve their pillars of national competitiveness and must increase their GDP per capita for transition p…
