MARKET RESEARCH AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Agim Zuzaku
Affiliation/European
University of Tirana
Albania
ABSTRACT Market research as a segment or main part of marketing, is very
important for business development, and the possibility of creating a new way for
developing agriculture, in particular small farms in Republic of Kosovo. The purpose of
this theme is to explore the willingness of farmers to invest in marketing research, in
order to develop their farms, according to the policy of the Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Rural Development of Kosovo. The objective of the survey is to assess the
preference structure and the willingness of farmers to pay for marketing research
services. We will analyze determinants of the willingness to pay (WTP) showed a
significant positive relationship between WTP, household income, and other household
characteristics such as education.
Market research often spreads consultancy, generating ideas or solving problems.
Good research often includes all these elements. This is also a time of change for the
market research industry and for this reason it is difficult to determine its limits clearly
(Keegan, 2009).
To convert successfully any business idea into higher capital gains, it is important for
farmers to understand and to determine the fair value of their investment. For this
reason, it is important thesis that we will discuss how investing in market research
proves the usefulness or profit for farms, agriculture in generally and rural
development.
General condition and performance of agricultural production sectors affected by the
structure of very small farms and high level of land fragmentation, limited use of
modern production techniques, irrigation and storage capacity (storage) (Ministry of
12
Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development, 2010). Other sectors with great potential
for growth and job creation in rural areas (beekeeping, medicinal plants), have a long
tradition in Kosovo, but lack the financial means to invest in equipment, food security
and trade (marketing) (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development,
2013).
Keywords: Agriculture, Farm, Marketing research, Rural Development, Willingness-

EMPRISCHE FORSCHUNG DER MITARBEITERMOTIVATION IN
KMU IN FERIZAJ
Aziz Rexhepi,
PhD Candidate, UET
Abstrakt; Um in einem solchen Wettbewerb zu überleben, der eine Komplexität von
Umweltfaktoren (Infrastruktur, Gesetzgebung ....), benötigt eine gut gerüstet
Humanressourcen Struktur, die in der Lage ist diesen Herausforderungen gerecht zu
werden. Der Personalmanagement sollte in der Versicherungsplanung konsequent
ausgerichtet sein, um die HR-Aktivitäten, die das Unternehmen braucht. Aber in diesem
Zusammenhang ist es auch wichtig, der Zusammenhang der HR Motivation und
Motivations Methoden, die von diesen Unternehmen umgesetzt werden.
So ist in diesen Umständen die Rolle des menschlichen Faktors, als die Hauptquelle für
den Erfolg der Organisation, unersetzlich. Wenn die HR das Gefühl der Unterstützung
von Management haben, wenn ihnen Pflichten und Verantwortlichkeiten übertragenen
werden, natürlich ist der Motivations Prozess auf die Verwirklichung der Ziele des
Unternehmens sehr groß. Man sollte nicht die Motivatoren als treibende
psychologischen Faktoren zur Seite legen, die die HR inspirieren den Beitrag zu leisten
zur Erreichung der Ziele. Das Konzept der Motivation und Anreizpolitik der lokalen
Regierungen und Unternehmen sollten bei der Erfüllung der Bedürfnisse der Wirtschaft
der Gemeinde Ferizaj ausgerichtet sein. Motivation ist der Anstifter aller
Unternehmensaktivitäten und Strukturen. Dies ist ein psychologischer Prozess, der auf
die Bedürfnisse der Unternehmen und Mitarbeiter als Individuen und kollektiv basiert,
und sie ermutigen, ihre Verpflichtungen gegenüber der Gesellschaft zu erfüllen.

ENTERPRISES IN KOSOVO
Bahri Hyseni
PE Iber-Lepenc/European University of Tirana
Republic of Kosovo
ABSTRACT; Based on the law for public enterprises in Kosovo, in 2008, it begun the
new form of organization of public enterprises. However, with this decision it didn’t end
the process of finding the best suitable form of organization as with the new form of
organization was expected to increase the quality of services of public enterprises.
Up to now only two public enterprises have managed to change the form of
organization.
The organization of the first public enterprise has been done in the form of concession
whereas; the other one went through the process of privatization. It has been a short
period since the time of reorganization of these public enterprises in Kosovo, and for
that reason we have just a few studies in this regard.
Furthermore, we still don’t have a detailed research in regards to the results derived
from the functionality of the new forms of organization. Thus, the goal of this research
paper is to study the factors that influence the process of the reorganization of public
enterprises in Kosovo. Some of the factor that have a direct influence are very visible
and will be easy to get the sources, whereas for the rest there will be some difficulties as
it might not have enough reliable sources.
This research paper will focus on proving the hypothesis that the reorganization of
public enterprises will bring positive results for the public enterprises which will have
an effect on increasing the quality of services provided by public enterprises. This
research paper is based on the data published by the Public Enterprises, Unit of
Policies and Monitoring of Public Enterprises, regulatory authorities etc.
Moreover, through this research paper we will elaborate some of the actual challenges
that are affecting the process of the development of public enterprises. In the end, we
15
will provide some recommendations for all the parties involved in the management of
public enterprises like, the Government of Kosovo as the main shareholder, the
Management of public enterprises, the employees, and citizens.
Keywords: public enterprises, reorganization, privatization, public services, and
challenges.

DIRECT INVESTMENTS

Abstract; The key issue for the countries of Eastern Europe is the lack of
strategy for attracting foreign direct investments. They will not go beyond the first stage
if it does not consider the economic viability of the investment, the real motives for the
arrival of foreign investors and the origin of their capital. Continuing high levels of
unemployment and chronic unemployment prevailed among vulnerable groups, such as
youth, women, and people with low skills.The challenges are still present and require
action on financial and fiscal sectors. Mitigation of bad loans high and growing, the
resumption of credit growth for businesses borrowing, consolidation effort
determination to maintain fiscal balance and public debt reduction would lead to
acceleration of economic activity. To support growth in the region, countries should
further strengthen the foundations of macro-economic internal help increase production
and resistance to external disturbances. Economic recovery recently is an opportunity
to launch structural long needed reforms. The advantages for growth and creation of
new work places include macro-economic and fiscal stabilization improving
competitiveness and connectivity, increase skills and labor productivity, and strengthen
governance and fighting corruption.

ABSTRACT; This paper, using quarterly data for the period 1994-2013, analyzes
the long run relationship among export, gross capital formation, foreign direct
investments and economic growth relying on Error Correction mechanism (ECM)
model for Albania. To capture the causality effect between the macroeconomic factors
of exports, gross fixed capital formation and inward FDI stock, the paper also employs
Granger-Causality analysis. The results of the co integration test suggest that there is
long run relationship between inward FDI stock, gross fixed capital formation and
GDP level in Albania, implying a positive relationship between FDI stock, capital input
and GDP level, while Granger causality tests showed that there is a causal relationship
between exports, gross fixed capital formation and GDP, on both directions.
Keywords: Granger causality, Error Correction Mechanism, economic growth.

THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATION IN ORGANIZATIONAL
CHANGE PROCESS: KOSOVO CUSTOMS, INTEGRATED
BORDER MANAGEMENT CASE
Flamur Bunjaku2
Abstract
This paper is an attempt to analyze the role of communication in the process of
organizational change. Change is inevitable part of any organizations. Since usually
employees view the process of organizational change in a negative way, any
organizational change is accompanied with controversy and resistance. Adequate
communication is one of the best tools to manage resistance and to implement the
process of organizational change in a successful manner.
The indispensible role of communication during the organizational change is also
supported by the literature review. In addition, literature review provides ideas,
proposals and answers for many issues related to organizational change process. The
literature review of this paper was accompanied by a survey related to Integrated
Border Management project which is currently the major project of change undertaken
by Kosovo Customs, involving also other border agencies, such as Border Police and
Sanitary – Veterinary agency. With regard to implementation of Integrated Border
Management project it was found that there is a gap in communication especially at the
first line management level.
Furthermore, the communication between the border agencies is not at a satisfying
level.
Taking into account the literature review, survey, and the current situation in
operational activities of Kosovo Customs, it was concluded that Kosovo Customs should
21
take into consideration benefits of adequate communication and promote awareness to
the employees for the successful implementation of organizational change projects.
Key words: Change, communication, IBM, Customs

Priority for members of reformed pension
PhD Vjollca Sulejmani
ABSTRACT
Pension Reform provides high security for the insured-members, because the
assets are distributed in two or more pension pillar, by this way of pension reform or
the functioning of the three pillars create diversification of risks in which each system
should carry with it, which means increase the rate of pension security. In individual
terms such reforms are very useful and positive because of pension funding on two
pillars where the first pillar pension is calculated from the salary of the insured and the
second part of the contributions is paid by the individual account of the second pillar
pension, and a very important part of the assets is saving assets voluntary in the third
pillar pension where are saved assets in order to be given the opportunity at the time of
retirement age, to receive combined pension from the three pillars pension which is
provided in an old age.

Credit risk and the impact on the businesses
making issues
Denada Topuzu, PhDc, UET- Albania
Abstract:
Nonperforming loans have been one of the most serious obstacles which faced the
banks in the countries in transition. However, over time, this problem seems to have
decreased, loans continue to be present in many transition countries. If in the first period
of transition causes of problem loans were mainly in the inefficiency of state-owned
enterprises and banks, now the focus is more on the factors of micro and macro
environment in which banks operate. In this paper we attempt to analyze precisely the
relationship between macroeconomic and non-performing loans to countries in
transition and in Albania. From this analysis it appears that the effect of the
macroeconomic situation plays an important role in the level of non-performing loans in
transition economies and in Albania. Material will focus on two main axes. In a first
step, we will try to give our considerations about the performance of non-performing
loans and some moments that have caused the change of tendency of the latter's
performance. After this historical overview, we will analyze possible connections
between some macroeconomic indicators and the quality of the banking system. The
latter is synthesized in the indicators that are now used more for this purpose; namely, it
is the ratio of total non-performing loans to total outstanding loans or even to total
assets.
Keywords: loans, problem, risk, business making issues

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT APPROACH
Mimoza Luta 3
Abstract
Performance management begins with a clear exposition of the values and beliefs
of the organization to support the definition of organizational vision and to enable a
construct necessary for collaborative culture to achieve business objectives. The vision
of the organization is an important component of the communication strategy of
sustainable cooperative and clear for employees and customers, business values and
beliefs govern. Publication of a vision itself is not the end. Effective communication and
enactment of the vision and values attached are critical for the acceptance of the
employees is fundamental for the development of involvement and commitment. Often
supported and declared success through people, but can only be achieved if people trust
and collaborate to achieve it. A vision, which consists only beautiful words, will fail.
The performance is characterized by many dimensions, so you build methods for
its assessment should take into consideration various aspects of the work. Methods of
assessing performance can be classified into broad way as measuring the
characteristics, behaviors and outcomes. Methods characteristics are still the most
popular despite their subjectivity. Behavioral methods create more information-oriented
action by employees and can therefore be better for development. Results-oriented
approach is being implemented very recently because it focuses on the measurable
contributions that give enterprise employees.
Keywords: management, methods, assessment,
