The key characteristics of entrepreneurs of the twenty-first century include the willingness to take responsibility, ability to develop strategic visions and objectives, and powerful motivation to succeed. The challenges of the entrepreneurial environment are mirrored in the higher education system that has the task of preparing students for the unpredictable and turbulent labour market. Business decisions are vital for the survival of an enterprise, together with the entrepreneurial functions of project planning, development and execution, as well as the ability to adapt to teamwork settings, be proactive and take risks. Accordingly, keeping abreast of innovative and interactive trends in teaching is a crucial element in the overall development of the skills and competencies of future entrepreneurs, in particular, and the teaching process, in general. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the satisfaction of students with regard to the benefits derived from the application of active teaching methods in an undergraduate university study programme at the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management of the University of Rijeka. Using business simulations in teaching the course “Entrepreneurial Management and Innovation” is an active learning method that allows students to experiment with business strategies, in a risk-free setting, in the strategic areas of managing human resources, capacities, investments, service quality, prices and marketing. Research for the purposes of this paper was conducted among second-year, full-time students of the undergraduate university study programme, using the survey method and a pre-designed structured questionnaire. Research results point to a high level of student satisfaction with regard to the innovative approach to teaching and the benefits of active learning methods used, which the respondents distinctly prefer relative to traditional seminar-based teaching. The study indicates a high level of satisfaction with the benefits of simulations in the process of developing entrepreneurial spirit and managerial skills but also a lower level of satisfaction in the segment of complexity in connection with previously acquired knowledge. The results of this study can contribute to improving the existing knowledge and to expanding the use of active learning through the application of a hybrid learning model that opens up opportunities for achieving the ultimate goal of enhancing the employability of students and increasing their competitiveness

To identify research funding patterns behind bibliometrics as a rapidly expanding science was the aim of the study presented in this paper. We analysed funding information of 8,622 bibliometric papers harvested from Web of Science, among which 1,786 (20.7%) were Papers with Reported Funding (PRFs). The trend in number of PRFs funding in last five years was positive. The most productive countries in PRFs` production were China, the USA and the UK. The same countries were also the most prolific regarding how many times they were mentioned in funding acknowledgements. The number of PRFs published per country was related with OECD reported Gross Domestic Spending on R&D for 2015. There was a significant correlation between number of PRFs per country and the number of all bibliometric papers per country. Far the most prolific funding agency was National Natural Science Foundation of China, followed by the European Commission and the USAs National Science Foundation. The Research trend and direction prediction is the most prolific research theme regarding the percent of PRF and thus most likely to get funded

Before the decision makers set much higher requirements in the decision-making than ever before due to the environment of decision-makers subject to change under the influence of progress and development of new technologies, networking individual or organization inside and the outside environment, and modern means of communication enabling continuous inflow, flow and sharing of data and information. In these modern conditions the process of collecting, analyzing, selecting data and information to make informed decisions in the context of possible restrictions and the available options, and ultimately making decisions as the basis for future business or behavior, is not simplified. The use of new technologies in the decision-making process provided numerous opportunities to facilitate decisions selection. However, the decision maker should still be able to differentiate which knowledge should be used to serve in decision making, and which models, methods, tools, systems, and procedures to be used in certain situations, with the purpose of successful decision selection. In this paper, we will examine the decision making process during the business process of the companies in Kosovo.

In this paper, the author analyses the significant influence of IT on global megatrends. Of the five leading global megatrends, two are in the field of ICT, digital media and new technologies. The main reasons for the impact of IT megatrends are twofold: (1) the digital convergence of the media, ICT and telecommunications industries, (2)the exponential increase in information, computing power and internet transfer data. Digital convergence will significantly contribute to changing business models. In an applicative sense, the author considers the concepts of Industry 4.0 - The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), to be the most significant as it marks the paradigmatic change of information, the conceptual and processual transformation of data and services ecosystems in the domains of robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services, Automated Intelligence, Collaborative Robots (Cobots), Industrial Robots, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality. In business and strategic terms, digital media business models will transition, under the influence of digital convergence, to a multi-platform, complementary, interoperable and networked media and ICT ecosystem with a specific focus on the production and distribution of media products, services and applications within the user interface, hypermedia, immersion, mass customization, personalized, augmented and ambient media business space and environment.

In this paper, the authors have critically explored the level of use of internet marketing in the banking industry, conducted an analysis of the current situation, set out the reasons calling for a more comprehensive implementation of internet marketing techniques and identified factors which affect the selection of their optimum combination. For the purposes of this analysis, we have used qualitative research based on a semi-structured in-depth interview. Qualitative research conducted on a sample of 19 representatives of banks. In addition to these type of surveys, an analysis and evaluation of the websites banks was carried out as well, based on the Web Assessment Index (WAI), whereas the Facebook Assessment Index (FAI) method was used for assessing the effects of using Facebook (as the quintessential representative of social networks). The results indicate that internet marketing has vast potential in the banking industry, that the potential of various instruments of internet marketing are not the same and that there are numerous limitations to their implementation banks. This paper aims to use the obtained results to help the banks’ employees and management recognize and consider the potential of internet marketing at a more profound level and properly adapt the selected combination of instruments to different client profiles. The identified barriers to the implementation of this marketing concept in Montenegrin banks may provide a basis for seeking solutions for their removal, and thus, in the final part of the paper, in addition to reflecting on the identified problems, the authors put forward their recommendations and suggestions. Results of the analysis can serve as a literary base for the comparative analysis of this kind in developing countries, such as Montenegro.

The objective of this paper to identify the diseases in the leaves of the all plants. Plant disease diagnosis helps to improve both the quality and quantity of crop productivity. In existing, to detect the diseases they used the spectroscopic techniques. These techniques are very expensive and can only be utilized by trained persons only. This work proposes an approach for the detection of leaf diseases based on the characterization of texture, shape and color properties. The detection of diseases which are detected using ISRC(improved sparse Representation Classifier) technique. First the GENABC clustering approach is applied to the input image to segment the affected area. Then extract the features from the affected area by using feature extraction techniques. In this paper Improved Transform Encoded Local Pattern used to extract the texture feature, Enhanced Gradient Feature (EGF) to extract the shape and Improved Color Histogram Techniques(ICH) are used to extract the color. And then these features are given to the ISRC classifier to get the exact type of disease on affected leaves. To analyze the performance of the proposed method we use four metrics. They are classification accuracy, error rate, precision value and recall value. From the analysis of experimental results, the ISRC method provides the best result than the existing approach.
