In this paper we propose to highlight correlation between the variables GDP and defence spending, using the linear regression model. It was observed, through the analysis of the literature, that one of the most important factors, influencing defense spending, is the GDP of the states. Thus, the objective of the study, is to try to get information about the ability of the economy (represented by GDP) to influence defense spending, in NATO member states. In the econometric model, the value of the dependency coefficient is expected to be very high and positive. The data from the Database were collected from the official sites.

10% of the EU's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generated by the tourism industry. In some countries like Greece or Malta, tourism accounts for 20-25% of those countries' GDP. According to the EU Commission, Spain generated around 145 billion euros in the tourism sector, while German hotels and tour operators generate around 240 billion euros a year. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) estimates that during this coronavirus crisis, 96% of all tourist destinations in the world cannot be visited, thus calling for the restrictions to be ended as soon as possible in a coordinated global manner based on scientific health research. The economic situation of the tourism industry is catastrophic, not only in southern Europe along the Mediterranean Sea, but also in other parts of Europe, such as Germany. The tourism industry expects a drop of up to 70% in bookings this year. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) Commission predicts that cruise companies will be the most affected with losses of up to 90%.

This paper treats aspects concerning the evolution of turnover, costs and profitability in the furniture production sector. The purpose of the paper is to establish a certain link between the indicators presented in the financial statements prepared to the entities in the field of wood processing. In order to achieve such correlations, we will study the indicators of the Romanian entities whose object of activity is the production of furniture, with certain restrictions. The profitability of these types of entities has a sinuous aspect during the financial year, and expenditures on raw materials (timber, plywood) and consumables represent about 50% of sales in a given accounting period. The share of costs in sales made in a given period must not exceed 30% in this sector in order to ensure minimum profitability. We will use the case study method, the graphic method and other tools to highlight the evolution of turnover and costs in the field of wood processing. The study will be conducted on a number of approximately 2000 entities, regardless of whether they record a loss or profit for a given financial year. A specific aspect is the reverse charge operation that is used for the purchase of timber, as there are high tax risks in terms of value added tax. In this sense, we will provide excerpts from the VAT return and from the informative declaration regarding the deliveries / services and purchases made on the national territory. In this way we will present the correlations that must exist between the tax forms, as well as the existing correlations with the purchase journal and the sales journal. In the case of the furniture production sector, the stocks of finished products, raw materials and consumables are of particular importance, as their efficient management must be ensured.

All organizations encounter problems. All organizations are, at some point, in extreme situations, without knowing how to react. All organizations are looking for innovation and want to come up with something ingenious. But, actually, how can these problems be identified, defined and properly solved? Certainly, through design thinking. As a highly effective problem-solving approach, design thinking follows five significant steps, each one being presented in detail in the paper. This method can generate boundless success, yet it can also have no impact, if not exploited accordingly. Thus, in the current research paper, design thinking was linked to three different fields in Romania – education, IT and banking. The choice of education, IT and banking was made precisely due to the discrepancies between these sine-qua-non areas that cannot be excluded from the quotidian and that actively contribute to improving the quality of life. Altogether, the aim was to scrutinize how contrasting organizations consciously or unconsciously apply this innovative technique. Through a quantitative method of research, the degree of acceptability of the design thinking method was observed, but also the organizations’ effective ways for innovation. In this paper, it is identified to which extent solutions lead to or involve aspects of digitalization. Coronavirus pandemic led organizations to shift their processes into the online environment. In fact, during this period of time, organizations faced unprecedented problems that might be solved with the help of digitalization. In this regard, interconnecting digitalization with design thinking might be of real help, under the idea of innovation. The research outcomes reveal an accurate overview of the method use.

In the context of a market economy, a direct intervention of that State is not possible, which is why leverage is used to facilitate the state influence on the economy. The purpose of the study will be based, mainly, on shaping the fiscal policies adopted in the European Union and Romania's alignment with it. The fiscal policy of the Member States of the European Union is an important point of the general policies at EU level. In order to achieve a climate of economic and financial stability, the fiscal sovereignty of the Member States needs to be aligned with the convergence criteria at European level. As tax revenues contribute significantly to the shape of the state budget, their change would have both positive and negative influences on the socio-economic situation in the country. . In order to understand the formation of the state budget, the research methodology will require a qualitative research. This will be done by highlighting the tax legislation applied at European level and by delimiting the main features of the tax system. The preliminary results of this study refer to the provision of a general framework on how to effectively manage the tax system by tax authorities, so that the fight against tax fraud, tax evasion can lead to economic and fiscal union. It was concluded that the main function of the European Union with regard to the tax system is different from that of national tax laws. It is intended to develop rules and principles that curb and limit the power of national systems, without providing alternative taxation models.

This research paper is mainly focused on analyzing and presenting the most important aspects and particularities of the communication process within the vaccination strategy against covid-19 in Romania. Also, it will analyse other communication campaigns initiated by international organizations and will identify solutions for development of the communication process. At the same time, it can be mentioned the bibliographic synthesis, comparative analysis of official documents and published studies, but also interviewing some persons specialized in the field of communication. Some preliminary results can be highlighted: communication campaigns generate major effects on citizens and decisively influence their behavior and decisions.

In Romania, the first case of Covid-19 was reported on February 26, 2020 and since then, nothing has been the same. The government implemented a range of measures to delay the spread of the virus, which severely impacted the economic activity. At the end of 2020, we had a very clear perspective of the total number of Covid-19 cases and the total number of deaths caused by the virus, but in this research, I want to highlight the impact of the first year of the pandemic on Romania`s economic growth.

In the context of a process of expanding urbanization, societies tend to reflect more on the role that rural space, including the rural population, will play in the future. To what extent will the rural area maintain its fundamental functions? To what extent will the rural population adapt to change and find its place in a world with a growing urban character? Things are even more complex in the case of Romania, for a long time our country being an agricultural one. Even at the present time, Romania disposes of a generous rural area and of a considerable rural population. Our study aims to capture the evolution of the rural population in the last decade, respectively to identify whether, compared to previous periods, the same trends have been maintained, and if there have been changes, to capture what those were.

The field of hospitality is very dynamic, even if, some trends are difficult to change. Despite some strategic alliances were made by the large hoteliers, small accommodation units managed to retain to a certain extent an important part of the market. During the peak periods of the season, their role is an important one, because they take over the demand that remained unsatisfied by the big hoteliers. In the off-season, however, their lives are not easy. However, in certain specific situations, such as this health crisis, small hoteliers can take advantage of certain opportunities. Moreover, the COVID’19 crisis has upset an industry in which, even so, things were not very clear. If, in the first months of 2020, it seemed that the entire hotel industry will be affected equally, it later proved that those who adapt faster and take advantage of the opportunities offered by various decisions of the authorities, will have, at least in the short term, an advantage. This paper aims to study the way in which Romanian consumers will choose between classic accommodation in hotels and rental apartments in a daily basis. Since COVID’19 crisis will force the entire tourism industry to move from mass tourism to small groups tourism, we also aim to anticipate if this niche of accommodation in rental apartments will be capitalized.
