The year 2018 represented a celebratory time for the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Each country had numerous events and attractions to commemorate the 100th anniversary of their independence. But what will the next century bring? There is the potential for challenging, but exciting areas for growth, both economically, socially, and culturally. There are also reasons for worry, particularly on the political front.

This discussion centres on the growing impact of the transformation to digitalisation in various industry sectors. Enterprises seek to engage individuals who possess an appropriate profile to fulfil vacancies or new positions to assist in the transformation endeavour. Traditional job descriptions are replaced by the need for agile technical skills, project management competencies, and critical thinking. Challenges increase proportionally to the local employment rate. To evaluate such an impact, a project has been established to determine the reaction of employers once confronted with the lack of same-culture candidates. This manuscript represents the first phase of the project wherein the status quo is documented through an analysis of the extant literature. The findings of this exercise then serve as a benchmark from which survey results will be monitored. Although the literature review does not dispel all Czech stereotypes, it does provide a more realistic image of Czech cultural traits and characteristics.

Approaching management sciences is based on empirical analysis of the facts and phenomena. In the research field of Human Resource Management (HRM) there has always been a need to explore and explain the similarities and differences in HRM practice of diverse countries. To do so, various national cultural and institutional characteristics used to be considered by comparative HR research on IHRM practices. The studies also target not only to examine whether country groups or regions can be detected with distinctive HRM characteristics but also to search for the explanatory factors of it. Following contextual research paradigm this paper is trying to find an answer for the question: what characteristic features the HRM practice of Central and Eastern European countries show compared to the current global tendencies. In addition to theoretical approaches related to HRM, the study follows the conceptual framework provided by cultural clusters and comparative economics.

The purpose of the article is to study the various processes in the development of advertising strategies of pharmaceutical companies, based on using tools in a multilevel simulation platform – AnyLogic. From this, the specifics of advertising companies in the pharmaceutical market are determined. The study takes into account the influence of various factors of the market environment on the functioning of pharmaceutical firms, their acceptance of specific advertising strategies, and forecasting the results of their implementation in uncertain conditions. The proposed imitative model-simulator is used to prepare advertising strategies for enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry. The performance of the model is displayed through the results of situational simulation experiments, using the leading Ukrainian Pharmaceutical Company OJSC "Farmak" as an example. The processes of carrying out experiments of different types and the possibilities of parametric adjustment to the experiments are demonstrated. The model is proposed to be used in the process of making strategic decisions and during operational monitoring of pharmaceutical products by an advertising company. Thanks to the modularity and sufficiency of the model, it is possible to customize it to specific industry enterprises.

Scientific-methodical approaches of identifying the main factors for attracting deposits in the Ukrainian banking system are presented in this paper. The author offers the following procedure: a comparative analysis of the long-term dynamics (2000–2017) of the placement of deposits in Ukrainian, Belarussian, and Polish banking systems as a result of socio-economic development trends in these countries; an estimation at the macroeconomic level of the factors influencing this process, using methods of principal components analysis and factors classification; and detection of regression-correlating dependencies between the grouping variable (deposit volume) and variables of analysis through the sample regression function identification for these countries. The theory that attraction of deposits to the Ukrainian banking system was turbulent due to both the insufficient development of other financial market institutions and the prudent behavior of national economy agents is substantiated. Activation of bank deposit activity was found to be connected with measures of demographic situational improvements, thus ensuring the economic freedom of business entities in a hybrid war with the Russian Federation.

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) conduct international business operations around the globe. For the MNEs, operating in today’s global business environment demands human resource departments to be engaged in a variety of activities, including attracting talents, training and development, relocation, repatriation, among others. To contend with the increasing number of issues and challenges in international business environment, MNEs’ must strive to improve their international HRM strategies. As organizations manage subsidiaries across different countries, the approach to human resource management functions must consider the dictate of the local environment where the subsidiary has to operate in order to survive and prosper. The researchers applied a multi-criteria decision making algorithm known as the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to model the challenges and issues that MNCs’ face as well as the factors impacting the HRM practices. The study explore the challenges by way of literature review and interview of some of the MNEs’ C-level executives.

This manuscript examines the results of a quantitative and qualitative survey on Additive Manufacturing in the Czech Republic, specifically the adoption within the aerospace industry. The study conducted in 2016 and 2017 provides a general understanding of the implementation. To better gauge the experience, two intensive interviews provide a candid perspective of the challenges encountered. The discussion depicts the central issues that each enterprise encounters during this transition from traditional to Additive Manufacturing. The findings reveal that, although the transformation is on-going, a solid knowledge base remains a critical element to successful deployment.

The study examines the voting preferences of Moldovan diaspora in the 2014 parliamentary elections. The paper aims to determine which political or economic circumstances in the host country have the biggest impact on determining voting preferences of the migrants. The political favorites of the Moldovan diaspora differ from those of their domestic counterparts. Furthermore, there are essential differences in voting patterns among migrants living in different countries. The findings suggest the migrants’ voting behavior is affected in some way by the political and economic realities of the host countries. The voting preferences of voters of the left and right wing parties are mostly affected by the political and socio-economic realities of the country of residence, although members of the diaspora voting for centrist parties are not affected by those factors.

This article describes the main approaches to research in terms of creative labor regulation and time study. Definition of a creative labor and brain-work product as a subject of regulation and work intensity estimation was developed. The method for creative brain-work intensity estimation was based on complexity theory, which enables the evaluation of the complexity of creative brain-work results and time expenditure. Because of the appropriateness of linguistic expert assessments while labor intensive creative work is carried out, the methods and approaches of fuzzy logic were suggested to assess the Competence Complexity of the creative work product. Based on statistical and expert models, a regression was built to estimate time expenditure dependence of the creative brain-work expected outcomes on Competence Complexity. The resulting dependency allows the estimation of the time spent on the research project based on the estimation of the expected project results.
