The main function of Lithuanian pilot, training and testing farms (hereinafter – PTT farms) is to enable the agricultural education and training institutions to carry out precision experiments with plants and animals in natural and artificial environmental conditions, provide a framework for theoretical and applied research, to develop innovation and to promote the latest scientific achievements in agriculture. PTT farms have bases for research and new technologies application and implementation. Their task is to promote scientific knowledge, using a variety of media: to organize conferences, seminars, workshops, field days, to participate in events, presenting the innovations in agriculture. Unfortunately not all of these PTT farms fulfil the expectations, associated with their destination. Due to different circumstances, many of them gives priority to economic activity – the innovative agricultural production, but their results are different. PTT farms scientific and experimental development research areas are too narrow or have lost their relevance. Carried out dissemination of research results is unsystematic, spontaneous and not guaranteed feedback with the beneficiaries of these results. This raises the need to evaluate Lithuania PTT farms activity data, to reveal specifics of their activities, priorities and determine the reasons of these weaknesses. The aim of this article is to provide recommendations for PTT farm business development. During the investigation there have been analyzed Lithuanian’s PTT farms documents and conducted expert interviews with their managers. On the basis of carried out analysis and evaluation, there were presented business development recommendations for PTT farms.

This article reflects some aspects of the process of qualitative transformation of the country's production capacity based on large-scale introduction and dissemination of innovations because they are essential for a sustainable growth and rising economic development. The dynamism and the level of development of the innovative sphere can provide an intensive type of economic growth at the same time providing a knowledge-based economic desolation. Equitable participation in global competition for innovation and cooperation with states that already have rich experience in innovation requires from the Republic of Moldova a rapid change of the technological order as well as the acceptance of a course based on economic value added generated from the capital of innovation-research and knowledge. In these circumstances the transition of the national economy to innovational type makes a non-linear economic growth with rhythms of accelerated development.

The signing of the free trade agreement with the EU requires the inclusion of Moldova in the European Economic Area, opening tremendous opportunities for our country regarding the access to goods and services offered on the European market and the development and promotion of implemented structural reforms to increase the competitiveness of products and the national economy. In the Moldovan economy, competitiveness should be considered at macro and micro level. Thus most competitive companies and products allow local markets to withstand the additional competitive pressures from EU producers. Also Moldovan companies must find new markets for domestic producers or to expand to the new one in the EU, exploiting the competitive advantages of the country. This agreement will open new economic opportunities for local businesses, thus increasing their income and boosting state efforts to further diversify reforms.

In 2013, as a result of the project Development and Implementation of the Postgraduate Study Programme Innovation Management and Technologies, a new postgraduate study programme was developed and launched in Klaipėda University. Since the study programme has been running for a year now, a decision to evaluate its quality and to identify students' opinions about the significance of the tasks for the heads of the Research and Development Divisions, as laid out in the International Standard Classification of Occupations, as well as about the aims and the intended learning outcomes of the study programme, was taken. The objective of the survey was to evaluate the need for the studies of innovation management and the quality of their implementation, as well as to identify the directions of the innovation manager training improvement. To justify the need for managers trained in the Innovation Management and Technologies study programme, as well as their competences, a pilot survey was carried out. To evaluate the quality of the studies, quantitative research was conducted by means of a structurised written survey. The outcomes of the research proved that the study programme met the main needs of the students, and its aims and the intended learning outcomes were important and relevant for the training of innovation managers. The quality of the study programme can, and is to, be improved by active use of the case study method, by integrating the staff of innovation companies into the curriculum of the study programme, by changing the ratio between the time allotted for theoretical and practical studies, and by designing specific methodical guidelines for the writing of the Master’s final thesis in the present study programme.

On the grain market encumbered the participation in the measure, I presume, that a larger proportion of traders could be involved in the measure. My analysis highlights the fact that farmers were able to adapt to the regulations and sell their grain for intervention. This is proven by the fact that for the intervention buying as of the offerers, 60% of the farmers made a bid for selling their produce. Nevertheless, it can be recommended to lay great emphasis on informing the market participants to make them aware of the changes in time.

Turkey has made in the last 4 decades a remarkable growth in economy. The energy industry is represented mainly by the coal industry (especially lignite and coal), located in northwest Anatolia. The electricity is produced in the hydro and thermal power plants. Turkey has the world's 17th largest nominal GDP, and 15th largest GDP by PPP. The country is a founding member of the OECD (1961) and the G-20 major economies (1999). Since December 31, 1995, Turkey is also a part of the EU Customs Union. While many economies have been unable to recover from the recent global financial recession, the Turkish economy expanded by 9.2% in 2010, and 8.5 percent in 2011, thus standing out as the fastest growing economy in Europe, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Hence, Turkey has been meeting the “60 percent EU Maastricht criteria” for public debt stock since 2004. Similarly, from 2002 to 2011, the budget deficit decreased from more than 10 percent to less than 3 percent, which is one of the EU Maastricht criteria for the budget balance. As of 2012, the main trading partners of Turkey are Germany, Russia and Iran. Turkey has taken advantage of a customs union with the European Union, signed in 1995, to increase industrial production for exports, while benefiting from EU – origin foreign investment into the country. Turkey is also a source of foreign direct invest-ment in central and eastern Europe and the CIS, with more than $1.5 billion invested. 32% has been invested in Russia, primarily in the natural resources and construction sector, and 46% in Turkey’s Black Sea neighbours, Bulgaria and Romania. Turkish companies also have sizable FDI stocks in Poland, at about $100 million. The construction and contracting companies have been significant players, such as Enka, Tekfen, Gama, and Üçgen İnşaat, as well as the three industrial groups, Anadolu Efes Group, ŞişeCam Group and Vestel Group. The exports reached $115.3 billion in 2007, but imports rose to $162.1 billion, mostly due to the rising demand for energy resources like natural gas and crude oil. Turkey targets exports of $200 billion in 2013, and a total trade of at least $450 billion. There has been a considerable shift in exports in the last two decades. The share of natural gas decreased from 74% in 1980 to 30% in 1990 and 12% in 2005. The share of mid and high technology products has increased from 5%, in 1980, to 14%, in 1990, and 43%, in 2005.

Permanent optimization of processes for improving the quality of products, with reasonable financial costs, is a constant target for the management of any organization that wants to be well placed in the top of customer preferences. Don’t make exception from these requirements any education units, of all levels. Even if the Romanian preuniversity education system doesn’t benefit, yet, from a wide-ranging autonomy, which would allow the application of several specific managerial tools to a competitive environment, there are enought internal processes in which it can be interfered to improve the results. One such tool, very useful in management, is the application of the benchmarking, a process that helps to identify and use the good practices of some education units that are in a better situation than the one who proposes application of this process.

On July 18th 2014, the Russian health service, "RosPotrebNadzor" established embargo on Moldavian fresh and canned fruits, vegetables, and meat. In this context, the minister of Agriculture and Alimentary Industry of Moldova, Vasile Bumacov stated in an interview that the losses from this embargo can amount to 150 million lei [7]. Senior officials talk about subsidizing farmers and exporters as a measure that would protect the producers and exporters that are the most affected by the embargo. These measures are seen by the author as the lack of strategic vision. The following study proposes the fruit growing producers a change of the paradigm that can be perpetuated to the level of entire industry and economy as a whole. Consequently, it is recommended that an integrated marketing approach has to be applied for the product mix, sales, delivery and promotion. Only an integrated marketing approach can generate synergistic effect required for local agriculture to carry out a lateral leap that would transform this branch from a burden to an engine of national economic growth.

The financial and economic crisis of 2008 led to a number of perverse effects on international trade and economic growth. However, 2013 was marked by the adjustment process of the world economy after the incidence waves of the financial crisis, thus resuming a year of global economic transition to a new economic cycle. The growth of stock market indices during 2013 and particularly those in the United States and Germany could be a factor in economic recovery for 2014. In the global macroeconomic scenario it is expected that the U.S. economy will accelerate in 2014 for a GDP forecast rate of 1.9% annually, which would reconfirm the strength of the U.S. economy to shocks. However, the most important positive impact on the world economy in 2014 could come from the Eurozone: in the central scenario it is expected an increase of the region's GDP by 0.6% annually, a trend driven by public investment and consumption components.

The Underground Economy is a „shadow” of the real economy, endowed with elastic properties: it can be large, small (although not null) based on the specifics of a country, its leaders, economic and legal policies. In relation to the real economy, which is monitored by authorities, the underground economy is usually in a state of growth. In this context, methodologically-practical developments for quantitative estimation of unofficial economic activities are of interest. The problem is generated by a lack of a statistical accounting system, a system of economical indicators in the real economy that would serve as basis for a quantitative estimate of indicators pertaining to the underground economy.

L’économie mondiale est au bord d’un nouveau ralentissement majeur Comme annoncé dans le rapport de l’année dernière, l’économie mondiale s’est considérablement affaiblie en 2012. Un nombre croissant de pays développés sont retombés dans une récession à double creux, notamment en Europe, tandis que ceux faisant face à un surendettement non-viable ont sombré encore plus profondément dans la récession. De nombreux pays développés sont pris dans une spirale descendante se renforçant grâce à un chômage élevé, une faiblesse de la demande globale exacerbée par l’austérité budgétaire, un endettement public élevé et un système financier toujours fragile. Les difficultés économiques des pays développés affectent également les pays en développement et les économies en transition à travers l’affaiblissement de leurs exportations et la volatilité accrue des flux de capitaux et des prix des matières premières. Les grandes économies en développement sont cependant également confrontées à des problèmes intérieurs, et certains pays dont la Chine font face un déclin des investissements, résultant des contraintes de financement dans certains secteurs de l’économie et d’une capacité de production excédentaire ailleurs.

During the transition to a market economy, the state of many countries’ economies and the international textile industry face considerable challenges. There are many uncertainties surrounding the global textile market, exacerbated by gloomy predictions that for a decade should have been eliminated, resulting in “free” trade flows. There is no doubt that manufacturers which have created niche markets will be better positioned to compete in the global marketplace and achieve higher margins for products while yielding greater profitability. This paper is an introduction of a reasearch that examines how some textile market niches have evolved. The goal of this paper is research and the role that textile niche markets will play by 2025. Specific objectives are: to give a broad overview of various trade theories, including classical, neo-classical, post-neo-classical, and modern, in order to determine what are the possibilities for development and protection. In particular, emphasis will be focused the special problems, due to the vector exchanges and commercial conjuncture, to illustrate how traditional marketing methods differ from market to market and to examine what role will play niche markets in the textiles industry and textile apparel industry in 2050. The results of this research study will help formulate a business strategy that can be used in market capitalization and will provide a framework for research for textile researchers at a global level.

This article is dedicated to problematic aspects that have a direct connection with public administration and the reform in the field of coordination, public policy development and implementation. An important role in the system of local public administration has the shaping of legal issues that require its activity and functioning, or just the legal documents that determine all the rights and obligations of the actors involved in the local public administration system. We believe that for the implementation of laws, the administration must be based mainly on competence and the human factor, which creates a platform for quality training of activity and involves making decisions and achieving results.

Mergers and acquisitions activity at global level could begin during 2014. Confidence in the economic environment, the availability of cash and credit, the restoration of confidence in local economies – all of these factors signals new opportunities on mergers and acquisitions market. However, caution still dominate this area and this is understandable, given the occurring of unprecedented economic crisis. In this context, the market remains very sensitive to geopolitical issues - any shock could extend short-term interruptions of the flow of transactions. However, while organic growth measures only provide diminishing returns, mergers and acquisitions activity may be the only practical way of increasing for companies.

Economic, social and political development of human society in recent decades put to the fore the issue of natural resources available to the earth; scientists are asking ever more seriously the question to what extent these resources can support the economic development in the future, can provide food and survival of a growing population and will be able to contribute to the eradication of underdevelopment. The emphasis of major events – the population explosion, the trend of depletion of natural resources, environmental deterioration, underdevelopment etc. – was and it is still discussed with increasing responsibility by specialists, being drafted a large number of forecasts for a variable duration perspective. The trend of depletion of natural resources is another phenomenon of the contemporary world and that will become, certainly, even more pronounced in the near future. Harnessing the increasing exhaustible natural resources with low reserves and a slow recovery of renewable resources raises acutely the issue regarding the conservation of these resources. In recent decades, there is a tendency to waste energy and raw materials in the society. There are produced goods without an absolute utility, being imposed artificially by advertising or fashion swings and many products are designed in such a way that it takes little to compel the buyer to replace them. The "consumption" civilization is characterized as a "society that throws" the population of developed countries (18% of world population) dispelling waste form 20 to 25% of the material production of the world. Excessive consumption of raw materials and fuel was favoured by their relatively low prices, maintained under the pressure of interests of transnational companies, prices that disfavoured, however, the developing countries. Consequently, consumption of raw materials and fuel turned to the easily accessible resources that have been heavily exploited, partially abandoning some less accessible resources that can be exploited only at a relatively higher price (e.g. coal from Western Europe). A good example of a resource exhaustion which regenerates hard and for a long time is the irrational exploitation of oil and wood from forests of the earth. Wood exploitation has increased especially in recent decades, with the increase in industrial consumption and in other sectors of the economy, reaching over 3 billion m3 and overtaking in a worrying manner the natural regeneration capacity (2.7 billion m3/year).

The regulation of big banks has been in the spotlight for many reasons. Examining evidence for more than 80 countries for the years 1995-2009, banking systems are shown to be highly concentrated. In many cases, the banks are so big that bank-specific credit-growth fluctuations affect the macroeconomy.

The Republic of Moldova is one of the few remaining countries in Europe that has not yet taken the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). Can this survey help Moldova identify the drawbacks and advantages of its national innovation system? This article establishes that CIS is indeed a useful tool for an initial diagnostic study. However, in a transitional economy, where little is known about innovation, CIS results must be complemented with open-ended questionnaires. It is found that, even though the innovation output is relatively high compared to other developing countries, Moldova is stuck in Rothwell’s first generation model of innovation. Moreover, as resources are not readily available for purchasing new technologies, the government and private companies can work towards encouraging a knowledge infrastructure that promotes organizational and management innovations.

L’économie mondiale est au bord d’un nouveau ralentissement majeur Comme annoncé dans le rapport de l’année dernière, l’économie mondiale s’est considérablement affaiblie en 2012. Un nombre croissant de pays développés sont retombés dans une récession à double creux, notamment en Europe, tandis que ceux faisant face à un surendettement non-viable ont sombré encore plus profondément dans la récession. De nombreux pays développés sont pris dans une spirale descendante se renforçant grâce à un chômage élevé, une faiblesse de la demande globale exacerbée par l’austérité budgétaire, un endettement public élevé et un système financier toujours fragile. Les difficultés économiques des pays développés affectent également les pays en développement et les économies en transition à travers l’affaiblissement de leurs exportations et la volatilité accrue des flux de capitaux et des prix des matières premières. Les grandes économies en développement sont cependant également confrontées à des problèmes intérieurs, et certains pays dont la Chine font face un déclin des investissements, résultant des contraintes de financement dans certains secteurs de l’économie et d’une capacité de production excédentaire ailleurs. La plupart des pays à faible revenu ont jusqu’ici relativement bien résisté au ralentissement économique des pays développés et à revenu intermédiaire, mais sont à présent aussi affectés par l’intensification des retombées négatives. Les perspectives pour les deux prochaines années sont pleines de défis, d’incertitudes et les risques orientés vers la baisse.
