While segregating the direct and reverse logistics flows, due to the complexity of the returns process management, there have emerged specific market players unique only for these flows. Regarding the organizational aspect, these entities can be formed by the participants of the direct flows, but can also be engaged as specialized external aid. The analyses carried out in practice concerning this topic show that the biggest number of entities involved in managing the reverse logistics processes are within the category of specialized business subjects, which only perform this type of work and which are independent from the actors of regular flows. The subject of this paper is to analyse in depth the volume and importance of reverse logistics flows, focusing on the specifics and types of entities specialized in managing these flows, such as centralized return centres, 3PL and 4PL providers for reverse flows, as well as various business entities of the secondary market. The aim of the paper is to indicate the complexity of tasks performed by specialized entities involved in the reverse logistics process, their scarcity in numbers on a global scale and thus the huge unexploited business potential lying in this market segment. That is a unique chance not only for regional, but also global business milieu.

According to the European Agenda for Culture, cultural and creative industries can contribute towards the transformation of the economy; they can become a tool for promoting the sustainable development of European Union cities. Many cities and regions possess huge potential for local and regional development due to the spill-over effects on the broader economy. This paper aims to examine the way the analysed European cities design models to manage their cultural and creative resources for the purpose of generating new investment opportunities. The authors identify the potential and opportunities in selected European cities alongside the participation of citizens as representatives of diverse spheres of interest. The paper deals with the issue of how to unlock the potential that the art and culture of cities have. For research purposes, indepth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders of the cultural and creative sector of Rijeka. Citizens benefit from and participate in creating the local economy, with the aim of building a unique identity of cities based on which targeted investments will be made to ensure development, economic growth and new jobs. As the new economies of the twenty-first century are based on knowledge and “clean industries”, the paper’s authors put forward for Rijeka a series of measures focused on cultural and creative industries. In conclusion, cities are key places for the development of cultural and creative industries and the growth of these industries can be expected to fuel further development in the economic and the tourism sector.

Trading companies that expand their operations beyond the national borders need to know the determinants or factors affecting the success of the internationalization strategy. Theoretical and practical research of the past twenty years has seen these factors as a set of economic, political, social, and cultural factors, which, ultimately, determine the choice of the specific market to operate on in the next period. In addition, research results in this field consider internationalization factors on two grounds, in terms of the national market, as “push”, and in terms of the new, foreign market, as “pull” factors. The aim of this paper is to examine socio-cultural factors of trade internationalization. These factors will be analysed in terms of their impact on trade internationalization, as well as the impact of internationalization on them. The basic hypothesis to be tested is that socio-cultural factors affect various activities of international trade chains. In order to test the hypothesis, empirical research on sociocultural factors of trade internationalization on the Serbian market will be conducted.

Unlike the earlier generational cohorts of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y, the Generation Z (known as post-millennial generation) is still underresearched topic in the context of their retail-related behaviour. Although there are notable distinctions between the generations, it can be argued that each generational cohort affects the way traditional brick-and-mortar retailers do business. In addition, traditional retail is facing increasing competition, particularly from online retailers. Furthermore, shopping habits strongly reshape the retail industry, so brick-and-mortar retailers need to adapt their strategies to meet the requirements of today’s rapidly changing consumers. Drawing on the previous literature, the purpose of this paper is to identify the main features of the post-millennial generation in brick-and-mortar retail settings. Furthermore, the paper develops a framework that can both guide future research and help traditional brick-and-mortar retailers to better target the postmillennial generation. As far as traditional retailers are concerned, the proper approach to Generation Z cohort seems to be essential to capture this market segment more effectively and to improve their overall in-store shopping experience.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the innovative practices that can be used as a tool for quality enhancement in higher education. More specifically, the paper seeks to examine how specific innovation contributes to the achievement of strategic goals and to reveal the most influencing practices for higher education institutions. The study included two phases: a survey and structured interviews with the management of the higher education institutions. A survey was conducted to determine the level of innovativeness and strategic planning in Croatian higher education institutions. In total, 135 managers’ replies were collected. Second phase included structured interviews with managers from 11 higher education institutions. The research revealed that, although majority of Croatian higher education institutions (HEIs) implemented strategy and plans for enhancing teaching quality, it doesn’t fulfil their aim to motivate students and to enhance their teaching and learning practices. This paper integrates different approaches in analysis of teaching and learning quality. It combines strategic and innovation management with quality management practices and provides comprehensive framework for investigating teaching and learning (T&L) quality.

Th e concepts of fi nancial culture and fi nancial literacy are today’s popular research topic. Numerous research and analyses deal with topic of the fi nancial culture of the population, and whether it has improved nearly ten years aft er the crisis. Diff erent dimensions of fi nancial culture are distinguished and examined for diff erent age groups of the population. Nowadays, there are no countries that have not taken steps to develop and expand fi nancial knowledge, but these steps have mostly been delayed. Many organizations deal with measuring the fi nancial culture on the national and international level. Th e results of investigations have already in many cases drawn attention to defi ciencies, and to the areas needing development, which is necessary and important.
