Besides the well-known factors that affect entrepreneurship: economic and technological development, culture and education, FDI should also be considered as an important factor for entrepreneurial development of a host country. Having that in mind, the aim of this paper is to analyze how FDI may affect the host country’s entrepreneurial activity, through a literature review. In some of the analyzed papers foreign investors are seen as friends of the host country’s entrepreneurship thanks to the capital inflows, know-how, managerial capacity and employment growth, but in some other papers are seen as enemies, owing to increasing import competition and discouraging domestic entrepreneurs. The main contribution of this paper is compressing into a single material an overview of the friendly and unfriendly based effects of FDI on the host country’s entrepreneurship.

The aim of the paper is to give a short outlook on asset management contract of the so-called national assets (this terminus covers all the assets of the Hungarian State and the local government according to Act CXCVI of 2011 on national assets). We would like to give a definition for asset management according to different views in legal and economical literature, after this we will present the current regulation of these special contracts with its subjects, its objects and the rights and obligations of each subject. We come to the conclusion: this act is considered to be a part of public law, but it consists of important regulation in connection with private law, and lots of rules can be understood only in the light of civil law.

Domain-specific cognitive competencies refer to generic skills, more specific to e-learning competencies in Physical education (PE) students over their academic lifespan. When higher education standards benchmark students’ competence development, they relate to all educational stages. E-learning in sports sciences in Serbia is still being developed and is attracting attention of wider educational arena. Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Nis wanted to contribute more to this area trying to diminish limiting influence of technical and cultural factors. Therefore, the University of Nis and National Sports Academy established distance learning centers for sports sciences to promote e-learning and higher-level diploma attainment. This, in itself, poses educational and economic challenges as well. This paper presents problems, advantages and drawbacks of this IPA Cross-Border cooperation project, how after one-year joint distance learning centers in Serbia and Bulgaria for sports sciences were accredited, and how students benefited from it in the labor market thus meeting economic challenges of introducing distance learning mode of instruction. However, the objective of this paper is not only to describe learning environment and assessment of learning outcomes, but also to emphasize e-learning specific teaching methods and perceived and realistically acquired skills and abilities. Sports sciences courses at the Faculty of Sport in Nis aim to develop generic and sports specific skills. The underlying theory used is Sloan-C Five Pillars managing the quality of online education, its effects, students’ satisfaction, teaching staff commitment, price and investment returns, and access. They encompass: 1) mode of learning, 2) integration manner, 3) forms of learning content and objectives delivery, 4) variety of sports sciences teaching methods, 5) participation of learning subjects, and 6) place of teaching method execution. 81% employers’ satisfaction survey results point to the justification of introducing the e-learning mode in sports sciences at the Faculty of sport and physical education in Nis, Serbia.

The relocation of production by which a company partially transfers its production facilities, from one country to another, or from one city to another is a topical issue for industrial affairs. Also known as „offshoring” or „delocalization”, it is one of the concrete and visible aspects of the globalization of the economy. Encouraging businesses, especially producers, to move between states, or between areas of a state, remains a popular policy of local or national economic development. Moving the company is a project that involves a great deal of responsibility, because of the many details that need to be solved. Typically, the decision to move facilities to certain locations or geographical areas is determined by a number of fundamental factors such as: production costs, complexity of markets, access to labor, finance and lending. Frequently it is considered that relocation is not just the answer to a single risk factor (climate, pollution), but a complex of decisions initiated and based on a number of social, economic, environmental and policy factors. In line with research on this topic, the strongest influence on the relocation of an enterprise is its expansion and the need to increase profits. Theories on the relocation of industrial companies are a special case of the theory of location, which is focused on the geographic location of economic activity and the importance of location to support growth of the company. Another important reason for the decision to relocate is cost reduction, due to wage differences, economies of scale, energy prices and other economic and financial factors. Even if it is a long-term decision, sustained by considerable financial support, the criteria of physical, economic, social or political nature with more or less predictable behavior, put managers in the position of always being careful, about the consequences of the emplacement on costs, to take account of a number of unidentified or incorrectly quantified situations and risks, requiring a reconsideration of the geographical situation of the undertaking. The article aims at identifying, grouping and eliminating overlaps, between the criteria considered in the literature at emplacement selection, in case of relocation of production. Optimizing the site selection decision means finding solutions or sets of solutions optimal relocation of production. The solution to the optimization problem is the answer to the question: what is the optimal location option, so that all identified criteria are respected in different proportions? To substantiate the decision to relocate production, the problem of choosing the optimal site was approached as a multi-attribute type, for which those methods were selected and applied, that led to reliable results but at the same time constituting easy tools to be applied by an interested company.

There is a wide belief that firms who operate into the informal economy negatively affect their competitors who operate in the formal economy. This paper aims to provide an evidence-based evaluation of this assumption in the context of Albania. Different official sources confirm Albanian’s informal economy counts for around 40 percent of GDP. Unfair competition remains a huge obstacle of doing business. To evaluate the impact of informal competition into firms that operate fully formal, a survey is conducted using a national representative sample size of 400 firms operating in Albania, comprising all sizes and economic sectors. The linear regression analysis is employed to develop the impact analysis. The results uncovered that firms whose competitors operate into the informal economy, have lower annual sales growth rates compared with those who admit that their competitors do not engage in the informal economy. The survey results have both theoretical and practical implications which are discussed at the end of the paper.

Throughout most of recorded history Asia (embodying the biggest share of the world’s population) has enjoyed the biggest share of the world’s economy, with three of the four largest economies in the world by 2050 (in the respective order: China; USA; India; Japan) envisaged by a Goldman Sachs BRICs study to be Asian, he continues, when claiming that: “Japan surged ahead of the rest of Asia because it understood the message of Western success [brought about by the Industrial Revolution] almost a hundred and fifty years earlier”; the Japanese (Meiji reformers) “were willing to consider Western best practices from any country and were prepared to mix and match policies in an eclectic fashion”; and adding that “the Chinese had learned from Singapore, and Singapore from Japan” [1: 51-52, 77-78]. The so-called “new Asian Great Game” (Mahbubani, 2011 cited in [2: 291]) refers to the “geoeconomics (“traditionally” alias soft power) versus geopolitics (“traditionally” alias hard power)” challenge: “The most severe challenge facing rising powers in Asia in particular is the growing severity of natural resource constraints, especially land and water, which are not easily amenable to technological solutions and which (unlike energy) cannot be augmented by trade” [2: 309]. As formulated by Staněk [3] the current Fourth Industrial Revolution mirrors the society, revealing the (il)logic of today’s architecture of the society; the question, therefore, is if we are willing to accept this fact and if we are aware of the necessity of changes, and as individual civilisation models react differently to the same conditions (namely, differences in languages, history and society affect the implementation as well as impact of technological changes), it is essential to comprehend the mutual impact of the speed of technological changes and the speed of adaptation both of society and individuals.

The Alimentary Fund in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a topic that has drawn the attention of the public for the last five years in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the 100th session of the Federal Government, more precisely on the 19thFebruary, 2014, the Federal Ministry of Finance, in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, has been assigned the role of considering the possibilities for establishing an alimony fund and submitting a proposal to the Government for the solution of this problem. The problem itself arises from Article 237 of the Family Law of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is characterized as insufficiently clear, resulting in the need to construct a sub-legal act that will deal in more detail with the issue of how to secure funds from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Budget intended to support a child, with the aim of clarifying determination of jurisdiction. The Family Law of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Section V, concerning support, elaborated in detail all aspects of support, including the maintenance of a child assigned to one parent for care and upbringing. As the non-payment of alimony has been established as a criminal offense, the question arises as to why there is a need for the so-called „alimentation fund” at the federal level? Will this fund be used by parents who are unable to pay for alimony or by single parents? Will the legislator take over the obligation to prosecute individuals who do not pay alimony, and weather will the collection of obligations, according to the enforceable document, be by the means of seizure of real estate in a procedure of forced collection?
