Sistemi bankar në Kosovë gjatë viteve të fundit është transformuar krejtësisht, i drejtuar nga sistemi bankar me pronësi shtetërore ne ish Jugosllavi, në një sistem bankar me pronësi private pas çlirimit. Privatizimi i sistemit banker në Kosovë si pjesë e paketës së masave të ndërmarra nga politika e qeverive, kishte për qëllim të fuqizonte sistemin financiar, të pakësonte mundësinë për kriza të ardhshme dhe të rriste eficiencën e ekonomisë.

To Retrench Or Invest? Turnaround Strategies During A Recessionary Time, Manveer Mann, Sang Eun Byun Nov 2017

To Retrench Or Invest? Turnaround Strategies During A Recessionary Time, Manveer Mann, Sang Eun Byun

Department of Marketing Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

By analyzing retail news published between 2008 and 2011, we examined retrenchment and investment strategies employed by retailers in the U.S. in response to the Great Recession. We found four categories of retrenchment (store closings, buyouts, bankruptcies, and pull backs) and five categories of investment (market expansion, product development, service development, strategic partnerships, and corporate social responsibility). Retrenchment decisions were constrained by retailers' financial strength, whereas investment decisions varied with firms' strategic orientations and resource capabilities. Findings of this study enhance theoretical understanding of underlying factors of specific retrenchment and investment decisions that retailers pursued during a challenging economic time.

A Case Study On Inventory Costing Methods, Natalie Hunton

An Integrated Framework For Staffing And Shift Scheduling In Hospitals, Wael Rashwan Nov 2017

An Integrated Framework For Staffing And Shift Scheduling In Hospitals, Wael Rashwan

Doctoral

Over the years, one of the main concerns confronting hospital management is optimising the staffing and scheduling decisions. Consequences of inappropriate staffing can adversely impact on hospital performance, patient experience and staff satisfaction alike. A comprehensive review of literature (more than 1300 journal articles) is presented in a new taxonomy of three dimensions; problem contextualisation, solution approach, evaluation perspective and uncertainty. Utilising Operations Research methods, solutions can provide a positive contribution in underpinning staffing and scheduling decisions. However, there are still opportunities to integrate decision levels; incorporate practitioners view in solution architectures; consider staff behaviour impact, and offer comprehensive applied …
