The purpose of this paper is to recognize the importance of future forecasting, namely the process of strategic formulation (evaluation and selection of strategic alternatives), and the impact that this dimension can have in our business. However, during the compilation of this research, a number of research methods and studies have been used on applying evaluation techniques and selecting the strategy as an IE matrix, in international companies and application opportunities in Kosovo businesses. The study focuses on ways of strategic planning in local enterprises, their impact and results achieved. What this research tries to highlight is the ability to apply dimensions of the IE matrix and the correlation between matrix boxes and businesses. The model of this paper will include studies of international and local cases in order to derive an empirical analysis of data, where matrices will represent how we use strategic issues and how we strive to predict future and competitiveness. Regarding the concept of forecasting and competition, this segment is very dynamic and turbulent that the changes are visible, so through these techniques we will try to identify the environment and the ways of evaluating it. Therefore, the size of strategic management is a necessary and vital field for companies to plan their future and foresee the environment in which they operate so that their movements and actions can be realized with a loyal and honest competition.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
