The Impact

Influences from the modern business environment indicate the need for the incorporation of sustainability concepts from an innovation system perspective. In the presented research, we emphasize the energy efficiency concept within the frame of sustainability and innovation. The aim of this research was to underline and explore the relationships between innovation, energy efficiency, and sustainability in the construction industry. To answer the research questions, a questionnaire was created to explore the impact of the energy efficiency certification process on the innovation behavior of construction industry enterprises in Serbia. The results show that energy efficiency has supported innovation, and that there exists a relationship between sustainability and innovativeness in the construction industry. Applying energy efficiency passports has influenced the co-operation of enterprises in the construction sector and other actors in the national innovation system in Serbia. The innovation concept demonstrates that enterprises in the construction industry should be observed as a part of the wider picture—the national innovation system. In turn, the specific context of a particular national innovation system should be seen within the wider picture of national innovation systems of Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs).

The famous financial scandal of Enron, WorldCom and 1 Malaysia Development Berhad has harmed the auditor’s reputation as the protector of shareholders’ rights. Auditors have done their part by conducting systematic audit procedures and “What Could Go Wrong” analysis in assessing the possible risk area to assist fraud detection in the client’s financial matters. However, fraud cases never seem to decline. Regardless of any safeguarding measures established, fraud incidents can just occur and be worsened by economic downturn and prolonged inflation especially after the pandemic ends. Additionally, the characteristic of the modern business environment, technology sophistication and new generation traits had challenged Cressey Fraud Triangle Theory on its validity and relevancy. Therefore, associating all these possible challenges into consideration, this study aims to review prior literature related to the evolution of Cressey fraud theory to propose a new insight in considering relevant motivation factors that drive fraud penetrations. From the review, the study discovered the need for a detailed evaluation and research on the essential fraud element in constructing an all-rounded fraud prevention mechanism.

Cooperative Models

A number of government attempts to stimulate cooperation processes in Russian agriculture unfortunately did not result in expected results. The major reason is the outdated view on cooperation. In Russian legislation and policy measures the only one cooperative model is recognized and accepted, namely a traditional cooperative. This model is prescribed in Federal Law No. 193 “On agricultural cooperation”. However, in some aspects traditional cooperative model does not meet requirements of the modern business and social environment. This article discusses and analyses alternative cooperative models, which can be more competitive in modern business environment than a traditional cooperative model.

A Company

In modern working relations, a company can improve its business dramatically, especially with formation and performance of suitable management. An important role in the whole management of a company belongs also to management of e-business. A broad definition defines e-business as a business process that uses Internet (and/or any other electronic medium) as a channel to complete business transactions. One of the main concerns about management of e-business is how much of each e-business should be owned by each e-business participants. This is called the extent of vertical integration. But in the modern business environment, vertical integrations alone are not enough. The alternative to vertical integration is some other form of relationship, not necessarily ownership. Inthe authors’ contribution, they will examine the relationship between the links of the e-business in terms of the flows between the operations involved. The authors use term link for all the different types of flow in exchange. This contribution discusses two issues: 1) How different relationships in e-business impact organization of e-business, and 2) How different organizational forms impact of e-business.
