“…Youth in Serbia also shows interest in entrepreneurship, with significant differences in interest among people who know entrepreneurs and those who do not know. Studies in Serbia prove the statement above regarding women participation in entrepreneurship and that men are more interested in becoming entrepreneurs than women (Stevanovic and Bogdanovic, 2018).…”

“…It is four to five times higher in this part of Europe compared to other European Union Countries. However, studies show that youth unemployment is a worrying fact in both less developed and developed countries (Stevanovic and Bogdanovic, 2018). Signorelli (2017) states that unlike planned economies, transition economies have higher and unstable unemployment rates especially youth unemployment.…”

Even though young people do not have enough work experience and skills, there is no doubt that they are an important source of the economic growth. However, the integration of young individuals to the labor market faces difficulties because of the missing experience, so one of the tools used to integrate them easily in the market has been entrepreneurship. In the last decade the concept ‘entrepreneurship’ and ‘entrepreneur’ have become very popular especially among youth. Studies show that young people are becoming interested in start-up businesses because they think about what they can do for themselves instead of what the government can do for them. The aim of this paper is to identify the relationship of entrepreneurship with youth unemployment in transition and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries for the period 2008 – 2016. An econometric analysis of panel data for the 33 countries is executed in Stata 12, to identify whether entrepreneurship can be used as a tool to decrease youth unemployment. There is no universal method to measure entrepreneurship, so data collected from different countries can bring incorrect results. In order to avoid incorrectness and misleading results we use TEA (total-early stage entrepreneurial activity) for entrepreneurship, from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, which uses the same methodology for data collection in every country. This study proves the theories from the literature review stating that young people have ambitions and are interested in starting their own business.

“…Competitiveness of an economy or national competitiveness is a complex concept which depends on several factors on both micro and macro levels. In addition to several methodologies for measuring competitiveness of enterprises and economy, the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), defined by the World Economic Forum, is based on company surveys (Cvetanović & Sredojević, 2012;Tošović-Stevanović, 2011). The GCI index has many pillars of competitiveness including institutions, infrastructure, education, enterprise sophistication, market efficiency, etc.…”

The article reports on comparative analysis of high technology exports and selected innovation indicators for Serbia and three CEE countries – Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria for the 2011-2015 period, with an aim to provide an insight on the innovation potential of Serbia. The analysis is based on data publicly available at Eurostat and the Global Innovation Index rankings. The selection of countries for country comparison is based on many similarities such as historical circumstances and geographical position. HTP exports are exports of high technology products as a share of total exports. As for innovation indicators, the article considers the Global Innovation Index (GII) which provides metrics about innovation performance of countries and economies, as well as values of selected inputs contained in the innovation pillar of the GII such as costs, R&D investment (total by sector) and number of researchers (in total and by sector). The analysis shows that there are considerable differences between Serbia and the three CEE countries. The analysis results are divided into three groups according to impact on the HTP export. The first group refers to innovation indicators with significant impact on HTP exports such as GDP, number of researchers, the GII rank and R&D costs in the business enterprise sector. The second group are innovation indicators with significant impact on HTP export such as total R&D costs, and finally the third group are innovation indicators with little impact on HTP export.

“…If there is a dispersion between these two factors in any case, there may be an ineffective use of knowledge. To avoid such circumstances, it is necessary for organizations to constantly evaluate the needs and justification of investing in human resources, in order to ensure maximum return visible in the improved work performance (Berber & Lekovic, 2018;Tošović-Stevanović & Bogdanović, 2018).…”

The efforts of organizations to improve their business processes, establish market competitiveness, achieve goals more efficiently and increase profitability are mainly made through an attempt to upgrade the performance of employees. Increasing the employees' work performance is directly correlated with the improvement of individual skills, as well as the level of ability to effectively transform new knowledge according to daily work obligations. In this process, synergies should be established between employees, on the one hand, who should be adequately motivated, committed, and focused on the acquisition of new knowledge, and on the other hand, organizations that should provide resources, support, and conditions for effective knowledge transfer from educational process to visible improvement indicators of different employees' performance levels. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of training on increasing the individual and organizational performance of employees in entrepreneurial organizations in Serbia. Additionally, the correlation between the two groups of respondents, managers and non-managerial staff, will be tested, to determine more closely whether there is a distinction in relation to the position held by the respondent, for defined issues.
