The concept of economic development involves the process of increasing the standard of living of a region's population by increasing incomes. This is reflected in indications such as labour productivity, gross domestic product, labour force levels and the growth rate of the economy. The economic system and its dynamics are closely linked to economic growth. The economic analysis of the region leads to an elaborate and detailed study. This work will analyze the entrepreneurial environment in the South East Region in close correlation with the workforce and the need to digitize it. Smart development is essential and includes research, development and innovation at key points in the region, such as the emphasis on job creation.

This article investigates the perspectives of managers on green marketing strategies in the oil and gas industry, a critical global concern given that a significant portion of historical industrial greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to a few oil and gas companies. Employing Q methodology and its subjective operant theory for a nuanced qualitative and quantitative approach, the research builds a Q-sample through a literature review and in-depth interviews with nine experienced Iraqi managers. The P-sample includes 20 senior, middle managers, and supervisors in Iraq's oil and gas sector. The study identifies five distinct viewpoints among Iraqi managers regarding green marketing strategy adoption: (1) opponents and skeptics; (2) environmental advocates; (3) public opinion advocates; (4) government adherents; and (5) forward-thinking visionaries. The findings contribute valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing green marketing strategies in a region marked by environmental concerns and economic imperatives. This research not only enhances understanding but also informs policymaking, guides businesses in formulating more effective sustainable strategies, and encourages environmental responsibility within the Iraqi corporate landscape.

Tax regulation issues have been the focus since the COVID-19 crisis and the subsequent EU energy crisis. From the Keynesian approach, the expansionary fiscal policy of states can contribute to stimulating aggregate demand and, as a consequence, economic growth, on the other hand, the post-crisis macroeconomic policy trend has become fiscal compression (budget consolidation), corresponding to the neoliberal paradigm. This policy has been actively promoted by the supranational institutions of EU, which, with the help of various instruments of fiscal regulation, have effectively imposed budgetary consolidation on member countries. Considering that the European Commission continues to urge countries to better the sustainability of their public finances and believes that the situation with the tax system is only safe in some EU countries, while in others it finds significant imbalances, particularly high levels of public debt, which need to be corrected by the Stability and Growth Pact mechanisms, the relevance of this study is beyond doubt.

The fiscal sphere can be considered the quintessence of state participation in the economy. Fiscal regulation, respectively fiscal harmonization and control over national budgets, are considered as advanced coordination within the normative management. The impact of EU supranational fiscal regulation on the economies of member countries can be accomplished through budgetary consolidation. This article is dedicated to the analysis of the fiscal consolidation effects and the measures and instruments of fiscal regulation of the EU, which can theoretically be applied to the EU member countries, as well as the effectiveness of the supranational impact and national measures for the implementation and achievement of supranational solutions.

The economic crisis was a turning point for both Romanian organizations and HR activity, thus generating a series of negative effects on human resources management. The improvement of these negative effects is a duty of the HR department, whose role has evolved into that of a mediator of the necessary climate to achieve the performance, efficiency and optimal results. The present paper deals with freelancing, a subject with high degree of novelty in human resources, highlighting the key benefits of its integration in the activity of HR. To emphasize a healthy process of implementation, we will address successively managerial decision and resistance to change that occurs inevitably, the state of imbalance generated by change, and how we can finally get equilibrium through recognition and understanding the need for change. To reflect the phenomenon subjected to analysis, we performed a mathematical modeling of performance with human resources, the expenses for human resources, and we calculated the ratio performance – cost regarding the integration of freelancing in HR activity. This work brings finally a concrete solution to the great developments occurring in the human resources management, namely to ensure consistency between efficient human resource costs, ensuring a high motivation and human resource performance increasement.

Marketing based on stimulating customers' senses is used mainly in luxury brand stores, which often position sensations above the product itself. The atmosphere present at the point of sale has become one of the main attributes for brand choice and loyalty. Sensory marketing techniques go beyond the rational side of processing information coming from the external environment, acting on the buyer's unconscious by generating instinctive reactions. The paper contains a study which aimed to identify the perception and influence of sensory marketing techniques used in Zara textile brand stores on customer behaviour. The study also aimed, by formulating and testing hypotheses, to identify the effects of multisensory stimulation methods and the causes that negatively affect their effectiveness.

This paper presents the health system in Romania, focussing on the "actors" running it as well as on the fundamental objectives and complex analyses in terms of their reaction regarding patients, performance and position of each system on the health care market. The present research identified a public health care system based on inequities in the distribution of financial and human resources between institutions, regions, rural and urban areas and of health care delivery. Inequalities were also identified in the way patients' health needs are met. In this context a mathematical model was developed, which can help any institution increase the quality of its services and achieve performance. The main precondition required was that each institution should focus not on external financial resources but on the internal ones as well as on an increase in material base investment and on identifying ethical values that lead to patient satisfaction, i.e. the application of ethical principles in the proportion corresponding to the model. To conclude ethical principles in health care must be promoted since only due to these principles people will benefit from patient-centred care, will be provided respectful and responsive health care and above all will actually benefit from their right to health care.
