39 One of the main challenges facing the member states of the European Union (EU) is 40 the fundamental need to accept the strategic importance of entrepreneurship as a force 41 for regional development and economic growth. Definition of this urgent objective 42 is set in the context of the European Council in Lisbon in March 2000, where there 43 was focus on other operational goals directed to improving performance in European 44 regions in terms of different variables indicating the level of economic activity, 45 particularly employment, real convergence, economic reform, and social cohesion. 46 In 2003, the European Commission (EC) initiated the public debate around the 47 need to strengt...
This book presents an agent-based macroeconomic model developed on the Keynesian principle of effective demand and the Wicksellian theory of cumulative process. The main purpose of the book is to demystify inherent forces that revive an economy from a long-run downturn. The model has three types of bounded-rational agents: firm, household, and bank. To highlight the autonomous revival mechanisms, the model is assumed to be completely closed and free from any external influences such as changes in management of aggregate demand or supply/demand shocks. The key finding of the book is that diversity of firms is a crucial element in reviving investment activities. While a production sector is re...
Mathematical finance plays a vital role in many fields within finance and provides the theories and tools that have been widely used in all areas of finance. Knowledge of mathematics, probability, and statistics is essential to develop finance theories and test their validity through the analysis of empirical, real-world data. For example, mathematics, probability, and statistics could help to develop pricing models for financial assets such as equities, bonds, currencies, and derivative securities.

Portugal investe atualmente cerca de 2.500 milhões de euros por ano em investigação científica e tecnológica e desde há mais de uma década que a palavra inovação se instalou no discurso empresarial e no das políticas públicas. Neste contexto a presente obra propõe uma avaliação do estado da inovação no nosso país, dotando o leitor de informação essencial e capacidade de julgamento objectivo sobre estas matérias. O livro evidencia que se registaram importantes avanços ao longo das últimas décadas, tendo-se constituído e consolidado competências críticas em certos domínios, embora permaneçam outros domínios de maior fragilidade. A capacidade de harmonizar o sistema nacional de inovação será a chave para um desenvolvimento mais sustentável do que temos tido.
Die Kapitalstruktur kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU) in Deutschland ist seit jeher durch einen hohen Fremdkapitalanteil gekennzeichnet. Jedoch haben die Einführung neuer regulatorischer Vorschriften für Kreditinstitute sowie die jüngste Finanz- und Schuldenkrise zu erschwerten Bedingungen bei der Kapitalbeschaffung insbesondere von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen geführt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird auch die gezielte Steuerung der Kapitalstruktur für KMU zunehmend schwieriger. In der Finanzierungstheorie ist die Kapitalstruktur von Unternehmen seit den Irrelevanzthesen von Modigliani/Miller immer wieder Gegenstand zahlreicher Untersuchungen. So wurden verschiedene Konzepte zur ...
The second issue in 2020 of the quarterly published JEMI explores enterprise development and innovation. The behavioral determinants of the economic ventures indicated by the authors is a continually developing trend of research in economic sciences. Contemporary enterprises are increasingly investing their resources in obtaining information on factors that stimulate employee behavior in order to increase efficiency or develop innovation. Behavioral approach is also used in seeking answers to questions about the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) posed by entities responsible for supporting the SME sector. In economic sciences, behavioral approaches result from an interdiscip...
Tourismus ist in erster Linie ein Verhalten. Deshalb werden zunächst die Grundlagen dafür interdisziplinär durchleuchtet. Dabei werden auch kontroverse Themen nicht ausgespart. Destinationen und Anbieter touristischer Leistungen von Hotels über Fluggesellschaften und Reservierungssysteme bis hin zu Reiseveranstaltern und Reisebüros werden danach ausführlich dargestellt und analysiert, bevor die Wertschöpfungsketten und die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Tourismus untersucht werden. Dass der Tourismus im Gegensatz zu seiner öffentlichen Wahrnehmung hochpolitisch ist, wird in einem Kapitel über Tourismuspolitik deutlich. Abschließend werden die Tourismusberufe im Zusammenspiel von Bildung, Ausbildung und Arbeitsmarkt behandelt. - Reisemotivation - Anbieter im Tourismus - Tourismuspolitik - und vieles mehr
