    Corruption and poverty
    (ISG, 2011) Santos, Rui Teixeira
    The quantitative methods have been questioned, mostly because at certain points they served as tools to identify the poorest countries as being the most corrupt and the most developed one, such as Germany, as being the least corrupt. In the end, the criticism to the econometric models of the German school and, specially, the example of International Transparency turned out to become an ideological fight between two suspicious worlds. This paper wil enable to conclude that, in reality, corruption creates a death weight on the Economy, ie, it decreases the commerce acts and thus ends up by contributing to the countries’ impoverishment. I suppor the idea that corruption really contributes to the reduction of the economies’ potential and it is therefore an impoverishment factor of the States.

    Entrepreneur XXI - Education for Entrepreneurship - New paradigm?
    (2011) Ferreira, José Luís Soares
    There have been large social and economic changes in the world during the last 30 years. These changes allow 21st century entrepreneurs to act beyond the mere creation of businesses, using new values, not only economic ones, and being able to undertake a social function of change and economic development, more human, more sustainable and more intelligent. Nowadays, the quality of entrepreneur is basically considered an attitude towards life, not a skill, and that is useful and necessary in every field of social life. This trend questions the old promotion methods of entrepreneurship, based on management training and business plans. The “Tree model for the development of entrepreneurial competences” suggests a systemic approach of education for entrepeneurship, based on the qualification of people and their potential, which comprises, in the root, a profile of key behavioural and performance competences, in the trunk, experimental pedagogical procedures and, in the fruits, real results (not simulated or didactic) within group projects, transversal to people context, regardless of age, activity or economic situation.

    (ISG, 2011) Ordysinski, Tomasz
    Internet has become a environment of virtual enterprises which like on traditional market change their owners (are sold and bought). There are also many new on-line initiatives (“start-ups”), which are the object of trade just after or even before they were put on-line. To perform such a transaction the price must be determined. As on traditional market also Internet companies are trying to increase their value. The problem here is that the share of tangible assets is very often less than “1%” of their final price. The question which appear in that moment is what factors really influence and determine something, which for the final customer is just a Web site. This article presents most popular types of commercial websites with a set of methods, which enable to price commercial Web site. There are also pointed factors, which are used for such a calculation. Those factors should be crucial entrepreneurs of Internet business cause they create something which can be called “on-line added value”.

    O turismo residencial: contributos conceptuais para a sua análise
    (isg, 2011) Patuleia, Mafalda; Almeida, Cláudia Ribeiro; Ferreira, Ana Maria Alves Pedro
    It's increasingly varied the way tourism is practised. This reflects both in the complexity of the tourism market and the plurality of social behaviour. Tourism activity has been in the last few years a stage for structural change, always being updated and trying to keep up with a sort of tourist that is ever increasingly demanding, experienced and informed. These well known transformations were the cause for a rise in tourism practises, including a search for Residential Tourism. Throughout this paper, we will assume that Residential Tourism relates to a second home abroad and we will look at this in a first instance. But we will also look at integrated resorts that, in themselves, incorporate a diverse choice in accommodation and entertainment. Since this is a complex area, discussing these issues has given rise to pertinent questions about what they mean, and the way it is practised. Therefore, we will propose an update of meanings that can be closer to current tourism practices by using conceptual analysis, history and representativeness.

    Why Should Central Banks Communicate with Public? “Exposuring the Frame” vs. “Never Explain, Never Excuse”
    (ISG, 2011) Sen-Tasbasi, Asli; Koyu, Mesrutiyet; Mevkii, Kumbaba
    The ability of a central bank to affect the economy depends on its ability to influence market expectations about the future path of financial indicators. Effective communication with the public increases the transparency of monetary policy. Increased transparency improves the public’s understanding and support of monetary policy and the democratic accountability of the central bank, serving to convergence to the rational expectations equilibrium. The paper suggests that, in order to be able to build stable monetary markets against financial crises, communication should be considered as an integral part of the modern day monetary policy.
