In case of organisation and management, a model is a logical construct playing an instrumental role in organisation theory and practice. There may be two approaches distinguished: a structural approach, in which a model is defined as a construct reflecting the real object with the use of abstraction and a functional approach, in which a model is a construct substituting the real, original object in cognitive and empirical operations (Jerzak, 1994, p.140). ae, en Ln EN , a : : ey ey a: a: es ee

Table 1. Validating the sample The question is whether the difference between the percentage of women and men is statistically significant or not. The critical report (¢,,, = 1.3) is compared with the theoretical size (¢,,.4, =1.96) and supports the hypothesis in accordance with the decision rule (f,,,, = 1.3 <1.96). Therefore, we can guarantee with a probability of 95% that the difference between the two percentages is statistically insignificant, with no need for sample recovery. structured according to the following scales: a binary scale, a nominal scale with multiple choices, a nominal scale with a unique choice, an ordinal scale and a semantic scale. In order to be representative, the sample used in the marketing research must comply with the requirements regarding the structure so that it reflects the multitude of behaviours and attitudes found in the studied population.

Following the research conducted on "Attitudes and opinions of the population of Brasov regarding the purchase of cheese" the expected answers were obtained to most questions. Of the 24 questions considered to be representative for the desired information 6 of them are detailed below. First it was considered determining the segment of consumers who shop in hypermarkets and supermarkets, respectively. It can be seen that the percentage of those who purchase products from these forms of trade is very high, 91.50% and 72.90%, results which favour Delaco because its products have a stronger presence in these types of stores.

Figure 3. Shopping in neighbourhood stores Of particular interest for the research was to know the percentage of those who shop in neighbourhood stores, as one of the weak points of Delaco is a poor presence in traditional trade stores. As said in the previous chapter, the small neighbourhood stores supply with Delaco products from Cash & Carry units. In addition, the Apetito product line, placed in the medium price segment, is missing from traditional trade. Thus, from the research conducted to determine those consumers who attend these stores, resulted that a very high percentage, 87.50%, purchase these products from neighbourhood stores.

The second part which showed interest in order to achieve the goals of the research targeted Delaco’s products, specifically how satisfied are their customers and how easily available are their products. The analysis of the responses obtained from the 101 respondents showed little difference between those who consume Delaco cheese (47.70%) and those who do not consume such products (52.30%). The percentage of those who do not consume the company's products is significant, which may be due to the reduced presence in traditional stores.

Table 1. Indicator for manager A and B It can be seen that both managers have the same sales and the same ROI rate. Which of these managers is more effective? Without a detailed analysis of each operation, the manager B can be considered better because he had a greater flexibility in controlling the profitability rate based on the data above. In any way caution is needed in the analysis of details that shows the results of manager B, both for financial data and for those non-financial. ‘na a at é ‘i os In addition, we can see that in order to improve ROI rate, a manager can increase profitability rate by increasing sales rate, reducing expenses or its combination. Also ROI rate can be increased by intensification of existing investments, in this way increasing the speed of rotation. It is assumed that all these factors are under the control of the manager, being measured. For example, we assume that the two managers are responsible for individual operations. For illustration the following data are presented:

Tourism represents a complexity in continuous growth, on an economic level, it synthesises the results of a large number of activities, on a psycho-social level, it is constituted as a superior manner of organising the free time. The social importance of tourism may be emphasised through the following aspects: tourism contributes to the maintenance of the biologic and the physiological balance of the contemporary man, for which tourism offers solutions to the constraints to which one is exposed; tourism and travels, seen as an intensely technological industry, can help Romania obtain and apply the technological systems of information and telecommunication at a competitive level; a larger part of the operations in tourism and travels - as well as all the virtual operations of sales and distributions - communicate through the telecommunication systems; e-marketing - on a competitive global and more and more developed market nowadays, there is a great need for a powerful national branding of tourism management which could optimize the resources, could concentrate within a nucleus the interests - the public and private sector, the national, local and regional sector - and capture the tourists' attention (Van der Merwe & Bekker, 2003).

Table 1. Fundamental elements: the old and the new economy Seen in correlation with the ensemble of the national economy, tourism acts as a dynamic element of the global system. The unfolding of tourism means a specific request of goods and services, request that engages an increase in their production sphere. The main arguments which determine the necessity of tourism development are the following: 1. the tourist resources being practically inexhaustible, tourism represents one of the economic sectors with real perspectives of long term development; 2. the complex exploitation and revaluation of the tourist resources accompanied by an efficient promotion on the external market, may constitute a source to increase the currency revenues of the state, thus contributing to the balance of the external payments; 3.

The development of a new prosperous economy is not a purpose in itself. This represents only a means to advance on the path in order to achieve wider more progressive purposes: new economic opportunities and a higher standard of life, more individual initiative and freedom, more dignity and autonomy for the workers, more powerful communities and a more extended participation of the citizens in the public life. The economists have thought that the new era that would come, would bring the supreme productivity. But, as a paradox, the growth of technology has not lead to an explosive and measurable at the same time increase in productivity. Is it a consequence of our measurement methodology? This indeed continues to be based on the old conception about the classic type of economy, as well.

To overcome these threats, companies have to employ appropriate pricing strategies for selling products via the Internet. Value can be created and extracted by enhancing value to customers, reducing distribution costs, and improving the match between consumer preferences and products. In parallel, the assaults on the standard economic science amplify, in the sense of some conceptual reformulations and of some reinterpretations of the economic phenomena and laws. Besides the classical factors of production, work and capital, information is added, either as a distinct factor or as a detached one of the two mentioned. Also, the empiric findings regarding the so-called As we have concluded from the figures presented previously, the E-tourism industry in Romania is in an early stage, although, the interest of people for e-tourism is steadily increasing.

Libyan state is not proclaimed republic (Jumhuriya) like other Arab states, but "state of the masses" (Jamahiriya), having an Arab socialist system of government, inspired by pan-Arab and Islamic ideology, is actually a system of personal dictatorship of colonel Muanmar al-Gaddafi. By 1969, Libya could hardly be considered a unitary state because it was divided into three separate provinces, each with specific tribes. In Libya there are over 140 tribes and clans, native Libyans are: Berber, Tuareg, Bedouins and Turks, tribal groups Hausa and Tebu (Figure 4).

The life style of the family also consists of the integration of the relating modalities of the people that make it up. Combining the relations inside the family found by R. B. Cattell (according to Paul Osterrieth [1973]) and the relations triangles inside the family pointed out by Th. Benedek (according to Cornelia Dimitriu [1973]) we attain Figure 2.

Staff allocation by functions in units This calculated number of employees’ in the business activity can help to allocate mainly the staff expenses and the costs that are caused or depend on the staff. Of course the calculation is more reliable if we use the detailed information about salaries and social costs according to different staff categories, but also the average calculated staff proportion should be useful in allocation where the cost depend on the number of persons.

Table 3. Correlations between simple costs and cost driver For example, there are the following simple costs and cost driver correlations: Selection of a cost driver by cost type. The selection of a cost driver by cost type is more simple in relation to general costs, because it is easier to define and separate, based on documents, the cost types in the accounting records, and to define a separate cost driver for each cost type requires a considerable calculation system.

In other words, if heating costs are calculated for warehousing and logistics cost centers based on the air space of the warehouse (air cubic meter) and electricity consumption and water consumption is also allocated according to the period of operation, plus IT maintenance costs are allocated based on the warehouse computers, etc., then all the thus established costs can be allocated to business lines based on the place used by it (e. 8.» number of pallets). ging x i? -.- @w.e * pe ~ Definition of the cost of a function.

The margin generated in effective trade activities covers all costs of the activity and also provides a profit. On the other hand, cost control requires considerable cost calculation. Cost allocation and analyzes is basic part of management accounting to give reliable picture about the efficiency of the business activities. The information from a theoretically well-build system about the cost structure is very important asset in decision makers’ hand. These types of calculations are basically required for continuous cost control and also for pricing.
