“…Naturally, people contribute to more complete usage of some natural potentials, so the benefits are used for the development of various types of tourism. For example wine tourism, which is extensively researched in the scientific and professional literature (Anđelić et al, 2019), organic production, as well as rural tourism, and closely observed agritourism as an addition to the existing types of contacts with clients and agricultural product distribution already discussed by Milanovic et al (2019) and Milanović et al (2020).…”

“…Furthermore, the resilience and competitiveness of agriculture could be increased if it is taken into consideration the degree of predictability of what happens with the crops during the agricultural year: production/hectare, cost, price, and processing costs. In a different study, it is claimed that competitiveness represents the situation in which an economic sector competes with other economic sectors (Milanović, Nikitović, and Garabinović, 2020). Thus, competitiveness in the agriculture sector is influenced by technological advancements, production costs and selling prices, changes in the demand, and environmental issues.…”

The agricultural sector is crucial for economies around the world, not only due to its role in ensuring food security, but also for capitalizing on the competitive advantages in a profitable and sustainable manner. The competitiveness of the agricultural sector has been highly debated in the literature. There are many welldeveloped methods for quantifying the different facets of agricultural competitiveness, most of which have a strong economic valence. One of the facets of competitiveness is resilience, the capacity to withstand the challenges that occur during periods of crisis while maintaining initial functions, if not improving them. Although the competitiveness of the agricultural sector has caught the attention of scholars, the literature is not abundant in studies dedicated to the analysis of the resilience of the agricultural sector's competitiveness. Thus, this study was aimed at bringing its contribution to the literature by tapping into the resilience of the agricultural comparative advantage in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this research was to assess Romania's agricultural comparative advantage and its associated resilience levels in the face of the negative effects of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the global agri-food supply chains by resorting to the Balassa index. Data were extracted from the International Trade Center INTRACEN database and used to calculate the revealed comparative advantage for two different periods: before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings showed that tobacco-based products were the most resilient and not only did those products maintain their level of competitiveness, but they also managed to become more competitive. On the other hand, although Romania is highly competitive in terms of exporting cereals, the resilience of this agri-food category proved to be poor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The same was observed in the case of oil seeds and oleaginous fruits. The drought from 2020 significantly contributed to these unfavorable results for Romania. This paper provides support and assists decision makers in the process of adopting measures aimed at increasing the resilience and competitiveness of the Romanian agricultural sector.

“…To achieve a competitive advantage, the entrepreneur organization must establish an adequate level of planning, implementation, and evaluation of training and development programs for employees (Tošović-Stevanović & Bogdanović, 2018). Competitiveness is an indicator of the position that an analyzed entity occupies in a particular market, its ability to cope with direct or indirect competitors in the right way, but also a key source of creating opportunities for business improvement and long-term success (Milanovic, Nikitovic & Garabinovic, 2020). Competitive advantage can be defined as a unique position that a company develops in comparison to its competition (Markovic, Salamzadeh & Vujicic,2019).…”

For entrepreneurial organizations to be able to successfully develop the business strategy, it is necessary to provide optimal resources for unhindered growth, internal coherence, stability of organizational culture, and competitiveness in the market. At the heart of these processes are employees, who directly influence organizational outcomes with their daily efforts, ability, and thinking. Also, the improvement of business functions is necessary for the organization to be competitive with other organizations in the market. In this context, the effectiveness of knowledge management is one of the key aspects in ensuring the development of both individual and group performance. In today’s time of great challenges for entrepreneurs, managing the processes that provide knowledge to both employees and organizations can be a key aspect of business sustainability that is imperative in turbulent circumstances. The purpose of the study was to examine how organizational culture and gender aspects of employees should be put in the function of knowledge management system (KMS). In line with this, this paper attempts to examine the extent to which the processes of improving the knowledge of employees from a gender perspective in entrepreneurial organizations in Serbia are effectively managed. In order for women to realize a greater contribution in entrepreneurial organizations, it is imperative to stimulate the educational process by empowering both women and men to improve their well-being and participate actively in entrepreneurial organizations building. Authors pointed out that when technology and organizational culture are coupled with educational assistance and training, however, adoption improves, and benefits are greater. Finally, they concluded that statistical parameters explicitly show that there are no significant differences on any tested issue, between males and females. This means that their perspective is identical when it comes to the development and use of knowledge management in entrepreneurial organizations.
