Abstract: Multinational corporations as the primary holders of foreign direct investments have a significant impact on the national economy with a well-developed and prepared institutional infrastructure, but they have even stronger impact on the transition economies and developing countries. Expanding into new markets, multinational corporations create new jobs; therefore unions have an important role in protecting employees' rights and their representation towards employers. The role of unions in the lives of all employees is even more noticeable because the situation on the labor market is extremely unfavourable and in many countries employees' rights are threatened. But researches also show that the proportion of union membership in the developed countries is decreasing, and also in developing countries and this trend has not bypassed Croatia. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of unions in the subsidiaries of multinational corporations in Croatia. In more than half of the analyzed subsidiaries of multinational corporations we identified one hundred percent coverage of employees by collective agreements. We analyzed the most common reasons for joining the union and evaluated the relationship between unions and human resource management departments.2015-01-01T00:00:00ZDestination competitiveness analysis for creative crafts industries in Bantul Yogyakarta IndonesiaRoostika, RatnaWahyuningsih, TriHaryono, Sigithttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/664062020-12-28T07:31:16Z2015-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Destination competitiveness analysis for creative crafts industries in Bantul Yogyakarta Indonesia

Abstract: Escalating competition among destinations has become more obvious. Shopping for handicrafts is one of important activities in tourism. Handicraft industry is a low technology, labor intensive, and run dominantly by small medium enterprises (SMEs). Handicraft industry is one of creative industries sector in Indonesia that promises to accelerate the growth of the Indonesian economy. To remain competitive, understanding on the competitive nature of handicrafts market need to be continuously monitored and adjusted to SMEs strategies. Using partial least squares path modeling on a cross-sectional sample of 54 SMEs owners in Bantul Yogyakarta, this study examines relationships among factors of destination competitiveness with clusters competitiveness and socio-economic welfare. The predictors assessed include given resources, created resources, related-supporting factors, demand conditions and strategy-structure-rivalry. Results indicate that supporting factors and strategy-structure-rivalry are not significantly impact on cluster competitiveness. The new final model was found that clusters competitiveness mediates the relationships between three destination competitiveness factors and socio-economic welfare. This study enriches theories on destination competitiveness, particularly in assessing clusters as the object of the study. The results are also important for policymakers in strengthening destination competitiveness strategy.2015-01-01T00:00:00ZExamining the relationship between savings and deposit ratesMashamba, TafireiMagweva, Rabsonhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/664052020-12-28T07:30:58Z2015-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Examining the relationship between savings and deposit rates

Abstract: Using the VECM approach, the study analysed the link between savings rates in Zimbabwe and deposit rates and other macroeconomic variables for the period 1983 to 2006. The study established a long run relationship exists between the savings and deposit rates. The speed of adjustments toward long run equilibrium was found to be 83% per annum which is a swift adjustment. It was also established that shocks to savings rates in Zimbabwe explained much of the variances even up to ten years. This implies that savings rates are less exogenous, though inflation rates and deposit rates are the independent variables which explain variability in savings rates. It is against these findings that the Zimbabwean monetary authorities vary the savings rates directly to influence the volume of capital saved as all other independent variables influence savings rates after more than 5 years.2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
