The article is devoted to the author’s approach to the formation of management indicators of market sustainability of modern business. The approach is focused on the classical understanding of the market mechanism, which has its own patterns at the current stage of management development, characterized by the high importance of social and ethical marketing, a set of technological costs in the field of production, sales, product promotion and beneficial impact to all community groups. In the course of the study, the resulting and factor indicators were considered: change in income and expenses, direct and indirect ratio of income and profit to process costs for production, sales of products, expenses for corporate social responsibility (strengthening of social well-being as a result of ongoing business activities). These relation-ships between changes in income and expenses were plotted through a combination of their various types (additive, multiplicative, multiple), which help to identify the degree of influence of each factor indicator (element of process costs for marketing activities) on the resulting indicators and take measures to maximize the result and minimize such costs using the computational-constructive method in its interaction with individual elements of mathematical analysis. The material is useful for entrepreneurs of all spheres and branches of activity, people employed in educational and scientific institutions, specializing in economic and management re-search and disciplines, and their students.

In the modern business environment organisations need to address two important aspects affecting their operations: the quality of management and the impact of their operations on the well-being of the society in which they operate. This dualism often results in economic, political and social dilemmas influencing the viability of organisations in general, and more specifically and recently, local and international pharmaceutical organisations operating in South Africa. This article considers the aspect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in general and attempts to identify the social-related issues impacting on the pharmaceutical industry by means of content analysis - a research technique for making replicable and valid inferences from data. It furthermore describes the re-action of pharmaceutical organisations when confronted with such social demands, and finally analyses the management of CSR against four criteria of CSR. The article confirms the importance of managers to manage CSR towards society in a proactive manner. It furthermore suggests that the "hard" factors of strategic management and financial performance should be balanced with "soft" social/people issues. It also recommends that the industry should consider - and if applicable - endorse the concept of Issues Management as an approach to the proactive management of CSR.

Within modern business, in order to face challenges of the changing times and to explore their opportunities all the people from an organization are considered to manifest as ‘heroes of excellence’ by co-creating and co-working together within creative and innovative teams. They have to contribute and to participate actively to assure, preserve and develop the competitiveness and well being of the whole organization. The paper supports a holistic, cross disciplinary and integrated vision.

Organisations can make a valuable contribution in alleviating poverty and improving the general living standards of society. In the modern turbulent business environment, characterised by intense competition and customers demanding corporate responsibility, it further seems that a well-managed corporate social responsibility (CSR) plan could assist executives in winning the hearts and minds of their customers. Regular interactions with stakeholders on CSR initiatives can also assist executives in identifying trends in the market and introducing innovations. CSR can further be used as a strategic tool to manage the reputation of the organisation. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework on guidelines that organisations could implement to manage their CSR plans and CSR-related initiatives more effectively. A number of secondary sources, including textbooks and previous research studies, were consulted in compiling the proposed framework which includes actions that executives could take to design and implement their CSR plans more effectively. In addition, principles for the effective management of CSR-driven innovations and reputation management initiatives are also provided. The framework also focuses on guidelines for the types of social media initiatives that would need to be incorporated into the executives strategic plan to ensure that the strategy implemented is truly competitive. The paper concludes with a number of recommendations that could be further investigated in a follow-on empirical study to provide further assistance to organisations wishing to survive and grow their businesses in the modern turbulent business environment. The paper is relevant to executives requiring guidance on implementing their CSR initiatives more successfully and contributes to the improvement of organisational behaviour within the socially responsible environment.

This paper explores the various challenges of HRM and its practice in a global busi-ness environment. The roles and responsibilities of HR departments are transforming as the modern business faces pressures of globalization, hyper-competition in the markets, declining margins and changing consumer demands, workforce diversity, technological advances and changes in the political and legal environment. Today, global HR management has become a front-and-center issue for a wide variety of firms. Many larger corporations, and even smaller ones doing business in key interna-tional markets, now have full-time HR managers devoted solely to assisting with the globalization process. For the HR managers to thrive and be relevant in the global context, new roles and agenda for the profession should not focus on traditional HR activities such as recruitment and selection, training and development, and compensa-tion, but on its outcomes. There is presently an increasing interaction of national eco-nomic systems all over the world through the growth in international trade, invest-ment, and capital flows. This interaction is a worldwide drive toward globalization and a globalized economic system. Globalization, an inevitable and irreversible force is a new reality in which HR practitioners, enterprises and government are always on the lookout for new processes and innovations. This globalization process, therefore, necessitates an investigation into human resource management. The paper utilizes the methods of descriptive analysis and synthesis of the scientific literature and empirical investigation. The paper sums up with requisite conclusion and recommendations that will help HR professionals contribute positively to employees’ well-being and meeting organizational targets in a global business environment

Abstract Entrepreneurial spirit plays an increasingly important role in the economic sphere, and universities are meant to play a central role in this process, where the main objective is the continuous development and mediation of the knowledge increasingly geared to the applications through innovation and patenting a secure platform for employment and well-being growth. The Universities have to take a position in if/and how they want to grow into a so-called “University of Entrepreneurship” which is characterized by a high degree of openness to the surrounding society and here we are talking, especially, about, the business sector in Romania. This evolution of expectations for the social role of universities has resulted from increased and recent interest in entrepreneurship and innovation of areas as research and theory of the business environment. The experience gained as teachers indicates that education and entrepreneurship education should include different theories and methodology than those applied in the usual way. The theory of traditional management and microeconomic models could even be a barrier to new thinking and change and, therefore, to the implementation of modern entrepreneurial actions. We want this article to be a source of inspiration for educational institutions and to have a positive contribution to research in business education and to be applicable in business decision-making.
