Abstract

At present, it is widely accepted that the innovation represents the engine for the economic development, increasing the quality of life and building a sustainable future for humanity. Innovation exists from the beginning of mankind, in various forms, but only during the last century, its role increased continuously and became a fundamental element in the development process. European Union started to assess the performance in innovation from 2001 with European Innovation Scoreboard, a composite indicator that covers the multiple aspects of innovation in each EU country and, also, at the level at whole union. In the same time, every year, the EU performance in innovation is compared with the achievements of the major international competitors, in order to see what is the position of EU in international competition and which are the possibilities to enhance its innovation performance. The tool used for this international comparison is similar with European Innovation Scoreboard, but uses less indicators, only the ones available for all countries considered for the analysis, named Global Innovation Index. The paper presents the method of evaluation with European Innovation Scoreboard, the tool for international assessment and the results of the comparative analysis between European Union and its major international competitors for the period 2010 - 2016. The results show that EU was overtaken by South Korea, Japan and USA, but the trends are positive and there are perspectives to recover the gap in the future, if the innovation rate will be maintained or increased. European Union has some strength points which must be used in the international competition, combined with a strong policy to support innovation in all member states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to analyze the perception of young consumers regarding the application of the principles of the circular economy in Romania. The methodology of the research was based on a systematic review of the literature, complemented by information collected through an online survey among 130 young consumers. The results showed that the application of the principles of the circular economy must take into account the impact on costs and consumers, supporting the development of innovative environmental projects.

Abstract

The tourist facility develops its activity under certain circumstances that make up its overall economic and social environment. Before developing a realistic strategy for progress and sustainable development, the tourism unit must take into account both the characteristics of the environment in which it operates as well as the trends and the way in which its component elements evolve. The particular nature of the tourism activity, mostly developed in the context of an inconsistently evolving tourism demand, has urged the need to highlight the tourism seasonality phenomenon and its influence in the tourism performance process. One important aspect to be taken into account when analysing tourist arrivals is the study of this seasonality of the tourism activity. Seasonality is that state of temporal evolution defined by a peak period of the activity in a certain sector of economic activity. The identification of the seasonality of tourism demand subsequently enables one to define the pattern of the phenomenon under analysis, thus gaining information on the predictable pattern of the tourism activity in the following period. Moreover, the results arrived at after identifying seasonality, create the basis for short term forecasts. In order to at least partially eliminate the random effect factors, the analysis should be conducted for a period of at least three consecutive years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
