Abstract

The role of the Human Resources Management in organizations has grown exponentially over the last decade. Specializedprofessional training, such as certification, is critical for those practicing in the Human Resource field, in order to keep pace with thedemands of the industry. Democratic Albanian local governance is a prerequisite to the meaningful decentralization of infrastructuremanagement. When people participate in defining visions for sustainable development of HRM for their communities, in formulatingstrategies for equitable access to services and resources and in setting priorities for action, they have endorsed. Participation alsosharpens their awareness of the interrelations between economic, social and environment issues. This is a highly significant feature ofinfrastructure Albanian programs and carries important implications for local development. Decentralization on HRM has given localgovernments the discretion and scope they need to take a lead role in responding to the challenges of economic downturn, degradationof the urban environment, and social hardship. They institute bold initiatives and innovative practices.

Abstract

The cultural development and Balkan universalism tries to arrive to an ideal of a borderless world of tolerance. Globalizationwill construct a unique culture identity that will represent the human gender. Another variant of this way of thinking is that Globalizationwill construct an environment in which culturally self-defining communities will coexist in an harmonious way. The Socio Evolutionism inBalkan countries approach of global transition (having Spencer, {Spencer ideas of globalization countries, year 2002} as its mainexponent and representative) occurred from mid nineteenth to mid twentieth century. During those times, socio evolutionism became theway in which human progress was normally conceptualized. Spencer ideas were not friendly with the concept of the State. This conceptis very wide when the Globalization is one impact that is now present for developing on Balkan areas. On matters of publicadministration, the Albania Government's strategy focused on addressing two inter-related sets of interventions: (a) strengthening publicfinancial management, including the management of both public expenditures and revenues; and (b) strengthening human resourcemanagement. The Albania Government worked with donors on the public financial management agenda by strengthening core publicfinancial management units (Ministry of Finance, Supreme Audit Institute, Procurement Directorate within the Office of the PrimeMinister) as well as the financial management units within each line agency (e.g., budget departments within line Ministries). On mattersrelating to public sector human resource management, the reform strategy envisaged addressing this issue in two major stages: civilservice reform and broader public sector human resource management reform. During the stage, the reforms aimed to create themanagerial and professional nucleus required to lead any serious efforts to improve the accountability and performance of publicinstitutions.

Abstract

Albania's economy has improved substantially over recent years and has outperformed many other countries in the region.However, it is still considered one of the poorest countries in Europe. According to the Bank of Albania, per capita income was $4,070 in2009, and was expected to reach $4,200 in 2010. According to preliminary data by the World Bank's Poverty Assessment Program,12.4% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2008, marking a considerable improvement from 25.4% in 2002; this decline inpoverty levels was due mainly to higher per capita GDP. The official unemployment rate is 13.52%, with almost 60% of the workforceemployed in the agricultural sector, although the construction and service industries have been expanding recently. Albania is open toforeign investment and increasing FDI is a top priority for the Albanian government. Albania has put in place a liberal foreign investmentregime, including a 10 percent flat corporate and income tax and has taken measures to improve the business climate by streamliningbusiness procedures through e-government reforms. These improvements along with NATO membership and progress toward EUintegration have contributed to the increase in investor interest during the last couple of years. Promising sectors for foreign investorsand include: energy (including alternative energies), mining, transportation, telecommunications, and tourism. Tourism has been boostedsignificantly by ethnic Albanian tourists from throughout the Balkans. GDP is comprised of services, including trade, hotels andrestaurants (21%), transport (5.5%), and communication (4.5%) agriculture (19%); construction (14%); industry (10%) and remittances(9%). The Albanian economy has been partially sheltered from the global financial crisis and the economic downturn. The InternationalMonetary Fund (IMF) projects growth at 3.4% and 3.6% for 2011 and 2012 respectively. A reduction in remittances from Albanianworkers abroad has constrained economic activity, although exports grew in 2010. The country’s geographic position places it at thecrossroads of Western and Eastern Europe. A stable U.S. ally, Albania is a member of NATO, the WTO and is in the process of applyingfor candidate status in the European Union. During the global financial crisis, bank deposits shrank considerably and lower liquiditypushed commercial banks to tighten lending. While current bank deposits have reportedly surpassed pre-crisis levels and bank liquidityhas improved, the demand for credit is still low. In December 2009, the growth rate of loans dropped to 10% from 35% in 2008. The lowdemand for credit continued into 2010, with the growth rate of loans slowing to 9.1% for the first 6 months of 2010. In general, thebanking sector remains viable, well capitalized, and able to further finance the economy, as the ratio of loans to deposits, approximately65%, is still low compared to Western standards.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of all economies and are a key source of economicgrowth, dynamism and flexibility in advanced industrialized countries, as well as in emerging and developing economies.SMEsconstitute the dominant form of business organization, accounting for over 95% and up to 99% of enterprises depending on thecountry. They are responsible for between 60-70% net job creations in OECD countries. Small businesses are particularlyimportant for bringing innovative products or techniques to the market. Financing is necessary to help them set up and expandtheir operations, develop new products, and invest in new staff or production facilities. Many small businesses start out as anidea from one or two people, who invest their own money and probably turn to family and friends for financial help in return for ashare in the business. But if they are successful, there comes a time for all developing SMEs when they need new investment toexpand or innovate further. That is where they often run into problems, because they find it much harder than larger businessesto obtain financing from banks, capital markets or other suppliers of credit. This “financing gap” is all the more important in a fastchangingknowledge-based economy because of the speed of innovation. Innovative SMEs with high growth potential, many ofthem in high-technology sectors, have played a pivotal role in raising productivity and maintaining competitiveness in recentyears. If SMEs cannot find the financing they need, brilliant ideas may fall by the wayside and this represents a loss in potentialgrowth for the economy.

Abstract

This paper identifies and addresses of the important factors underlying of the social and economical influences, the loss of theleadership roles and cultures—the sense of cultural inferiority prevalent among members of community, women, youth, minority groups.The paper also introduces with the leadership styles in Albanian condition and describes the influences of prejudice in this organization’sefforts to preserve and revitalize the Albanian intangible culture. Prejudice influences convenience or economic reasons. But moreoften, they abandon their culture and language in order to overcome discrimination. Social prejudice reduces quality and slows the flow.Social prejudice is a chasm that separates information from the people who need it. Many leaders are too proud to reach across and askfor it, instead, they will ask someone for their opinion on their side of the chasm. In the technology age, information is needed from thesource, not chain of command or someone’s theory. To stay competitive, work environments must be free of social prejudice and leadersmust be willing to cross social class barriers to seek information. In the Albania, it is not uncommon for members of dominant cultures, tolook down upon members of a minority cultural group, considering them as “second class” citizens. Projects are undertaken towardsovercoming the sense of cultural inferiority and instilling cultural pride among the young. In business, social prejudice has always been abarrier to the information. Leadership likes the feeling of its power while the targets of prejudice tolerate it.
