All decisions of entrepreneurs and actions are determined by economic accounts. Each action has financial implications. Entrepreneurs looking for the possibility to record the financial consequences of their decisions naturally created an accounting system, which has become a widespread and universal information system of companies all over the world. Accounting has also changed with the development of companies on global markets. This evolution has led to the separation of two main accounting subsystems: financial and management accounting. Analyzing the process of accounting evolution, it can be concluded that the subsequent stages cover a shorter and shorter period of time, which can be interpreted as a constant acceleration of changes in accounting and consequently in the development of markets and companies in the global market. The main research method used to write the paper was a critical review of literature and desk research.

This paper provides an analysis of the relationship of dominance and resistance in the novel High Fidelity. The aim of the paper is to identify the elements of popular culture in the novel and thus determine the nature of possible relationships in a patriarchal, capitalist society. The theoretical framework used in the paper is Fiske’s theory of popular culture (2001) and the analysis is based on regarding the characters as representatives of dominant and resistant forces. Men and the upper class constitute categories which are dominant in the relationship with subordinate ones – women and the lower class. In addition, the protagonist Rob is the prototype of a man who is subordinate to himself, i.e. to his representation of ideal male traits he lacks, according to his own beliefs. The subordinate put up resistance in different ways. Laura is a successful business woman who possesses a strong character, which places her into a better position than that of Rob. The protagonist uses music as one of the ways to express his resistance. As a lower class member (i.e. a poor entrepreneur), the protagonist opposes upper class members (wealthy entrepreneurs) in that he possesses moral principles which they often lack.

The main objective of this paper is the modification of the ENTROPY and VIKOR methods, for the purpose of simplifying the measurement of service quality. In order to take account of the different guest expectations in hotels in cities, mountains and spas, the modification of the ENTROPY method has been performed with the aim of calculating the weight coefficients for each criterion within each alternative, i.e. calculating the weight coefficients for each dimension of service quality, separately for hotels in cities, hotels in mountains, and hotels in spas. Based on weight coefficients and the modified VIKOR method, the ranking of hotels has been carried out with regard to service quality. The modified multi-criteria methods provide adequate information to hotel managers on the extent to which the services provided in their hotel match the expectations of their guests, as well as on the service quality offered by the competitors.
