The paper deals with the issue of the small business in the renewable energy field. The experience of the renewable energy leaders shows that the exploitation of the potential of renewable energy sources allows to overcome the dependence on the energy import, stimulates economic growth, and enables the creation of new workplaces as well as opening the prospects for the scientific and technological progress. A very healthy solution would be a promotion of "green and small" business. Therefore there is given an analysis of the main political, economic, social, and technological assumptions of "green and small" business development and its evaluation in the paper.

The article analyses the potential impact of vocational guidance to the turnover of human resources in enterprises. The rationale of this paper is a lack of theoretical research and empirical evidence on how vocational guidance and related tools can help to sustain and stabilise the extensive turnover of the workforce and its detrimental influence upon the performance of enterprises. The aim of this paper is to disclose how the methods and tools of vocational guidance can be used for the stabilisation of extensive workforce turnover. The author analyses the origins and driving forces of the extensive workforce turnover discerning its specificities in Lithuanian enterprises. Afterwards the outcomes of the empirical research into the reasons of extensive workforce turnover and the application of vocational guidance for the stabilisation of this process are also presented and analysed. The research results indicate that the main reasons of the extensive workforce turnover in Lithuania are socioeconomic, but one of the most important factors, which does not permit to overcome this problem, is the lack of trust and social dialogue between the employers and employees or their represented organisations. Another important finding of the research is that systemic and comprehensive application of vocational guidance measures in human resource management of the enterprise essentially eliminates the extensive workforce turnover by tackling its core reasons.

Psychosocial risk factors are quite hard to identify and analyze, as such work needs special knowledge and practice. Difficulties may appear as many concepts of psychosocial risk factors are hardly defined exactly and depend on a subjective perception of employee's workplace environment. Different questionnaires, e.g. a questionnaire assessing stress at work, are created to identify psychosocial risk factors. The main purpose of each questionnaire is slightly different but simultaneously remains the same, i.e. to define stress level at work environment. Although, this kind of research has been conducted in other countries for quite a long time, however, in Lithuania, similar practice faces only first steps. The paper proposes an overview of research conducted in 19 companies in Lithuania. 245 respondents were involved in completing 4 questionnaires. The survey has revealed that the most contributory factor of stress appearance is the age and experience of workers. Female rather than male respondents feel stressed; the surveyed participants having higher education feel more affected by stress than those having other than higher education. Moreover, different questionnaires have revealed the existence of much the same problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of state capture, which is widely used when speaking about corruption in transitional democracies, defines illegitimate and non-transparent influence on state policy development. Though widely-spread in Lithuania, this phenomenon still has not been studied thoroughly by Lithuanian scholars. The phenomenon of state capture in Lithuania is analyzed in this article emphasizing three main aspects: its' prevalence, forms and reasons. After the short introduction on state capture the authors analyze this phenomenon using the Lithuanian case study, which is based on the analyses of legal acts, other surveys, scientific papers, and the interview with representatives of the Transparency International Lithuanian Chapter. The analysis showed that level of state capture in Lithuania decreased during the period of 1999 - 2002 but increased in 2005; however, there are not enough data to confirm the latter conclusion. Institutions mostly affected by state capture are legislative (Seimas), executive (Government), judicial and political parties. Business enterprises, separate individuals and foreign countries (especially Russia) sought to influence the formation of public policy in corrupt ways in Lithuania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the corporate group phenomenon in corporate law. The creation of a corporate group -- as a form of business organization -- was determined by development of the world's economy. In the modern economy large and medium size business is conducted not by a single company but by a group of companies under the control of a parent corporation. Modern corporate law is unimaginable without the laws of parent and affiliated companies, in other words -- without corporate groups. Author analyses the issues concerning the members of corporate group and specific relations between members, which allow to identify the existence of the corporate group. The corporate group consists from independent legal entities (companies) and if an entity does not have the legal independence (e.g. representative office or subsidiary), it cannot be the member of the corporate group. Even natural persons or state (as well as other public entities) can be members of a corporate group. However, usually the members of a corporate group are the limited liability companies due to the nature of the limited liability of their participants. In order to create a group of companies the relationship of control between at least two entities, which is determined as ability (right) of the parent company to make decisive influence to the commercial and financial activity of the subsidiary company, has to be established. The parent company can obtain such ability (right) in various ways, normally through participation in the subsidiary's capital. When parent corporation participates in the subsidiary's capital, it can control shareholders' or members' voting rights and/or control the appointment/removal of management bodies. However there are many other ways of gaining control in corporate practice. In practice the economic control as the method of control of subsidiary company, which appears when one (parent) company has big factual power to decide over the economic destiny of another (subsidiary) company, is of the utmost importance.. Such control can originate from the contract, when particular economic relations develop between parties and depending on the economic conditions of the companies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper offers both the theoretical and practical approaches to the important problem -- development of cooperation between science and business sectors, focusing on its specific features of the link in the context of science management. The authors have applied procedural operational attitude to business and science institution management and enhancement of their interaction. A special emphasis is placed on creating new, original and effective managerial scenarios of promoting partnership between science and business. On the basis of the two-sided analysis of science and business sectors transformations, carried out by the authors, challenges of the partnership have been defined. The authors have described managerial reasons for demand and offer in the area of cooperation between science and business sectors, and have identified factors, which have negative effect on this process. The publication introduces principles and guidelines for creation of the above-mentioned scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
