Предузећа у туризму теже да смање број незадовољних и непрофитабилних купаца. Предмет истраживања у раду је анализа утицаја одређених фактора на склоност купаца ка жалбама у туристичким агенцијама и, самим тим, на њихову лојалност. Циљ истраживања је испитивање да ли и у којој мери социо-демографске карактеристике утичу на одлуку купаца да поднесу жалбе агенцији у случају незадовољства услугом. Посебан акценат у раду је на анализи утицаја одређених релационих фактора (попут нивоа поверења купаца, имиџа агенције и ефикасности процеса управљања жалбама) на склоност купаца ка жалбама и на повећање њиховог задовољства и лојалности према одређеној агенцији. Значај истраживања у раду је и у давању смерница-како туристичким агенцијама тако и другим предузећима у области туризма-за унапређење односа са купцима и унапређење квалитета процеса услуживања путем ефикасног управљања жалбама купаца.

Serbia ranks among the world's largest producers of raspberries, exporting more than 90% of total production of this fruit. Considering that Serbia is among global leaders in the export of frozen raspberries and that the process of standardization of the quality and quantity of this type of fruit is relatively simple, the starting hypothesis is that Serbian raspberry can be traded at commodity exchange. The main objective of our research is to analyze the necessary conditions for formation and sustainable functioning of the raspberry commodity exchange, with the emphasis on testing the proposed model of the commodity exchange method of communication between primary raspberry producers (vendors), intermediaries (purchasers, raspberry dealers or exporters of raspberries) and end customers who buy raspberries. We surveyed 100 persons representing the key actors of the Serbian raspberry producers and proposed the model of raspberry trading through commodity exchange.

With the assumption that a positive celebrity image will be transferred to the destination, this study will explore the effect of celebrity endorsement on destination image.

Developing this concept at the level of companies can greatly increase their competitiveness. The advantages that the companies expect from the development of corporative social responsibility are multiple and related to: increased market value of the company, increased sale, attraction of new consumers, enhanced quality of products, increased satisfaction of customers, motivation of the labor, increased productivity and so on. Long-term improvement of competitiveness cannot be achieved without planned and overall strategy of social responsibility for each company as well as the economy as a whole. This paper will be focused on the concept of social responsibility of companies, that is, on the basic dimensions of this concept as well as on its application in the process of building a socially responsible company. The company must be a socially responsible in an integral way, which implies existence of economic, legal, ethical and ecological responsibility at the same time. The paper will present the positive example from business practice, which do not only point out the necessity of corporate social responsibility existence but also the fact that it is one of the important means in creating competitive advantage. The object of the paper is to analyze the influence of the concept of social responsibility upon competitiveness of companies in Serbia. For this purpose, an opinion poll was conducted concerning evaluation of importance of socially responsible behavior of companies for consumers in Serbia, based on a representative sample as the results presented in the paper will show. Development of the awareness of the necessity for development of corporate responsibility, as an important segment of overall social responsibility, as well as numerous material but immaterial benefits too, can be motivation factors for future behavior of companies in Serbia.

Ekonomska teorija je razvila brojne metode za merenje stepena koncentracije na trţištu. Osnovni cilj rada je da se utvrdi stepen koncentracije na trţištu distribucije radio televizijskog programa (RTV) u Republici Srbiji koristeći metode koje je ponudila ekonomska teorija. U radu se polazi od hipoteze o visokom stepenu koncentracije ponude na trţištu distribucije RTV programa, koja se dokazuje korišćenjem nauĉnih metoda (racio koncentracije, Hefindal-Hiršmanov indeks, indeks entropije, Lorencova kriva, Horvat indeks). Izvršena analiza daje objektivne indikatore trţišne koncentracije Komisiji za zaštitu konkurencije i sugeriše primenu mera politike konkurencije u brzo rastućim granama kao što je sektor telekomunikacionih usluga. Kljuĉne reĉi: trţište distribucije radio televizijskog programa, koncentracija, oligopoli Abstract: Concentration has a significant role in market structure analysis and relationships among companies in markets of goods and services. Economic theory has developed various methods to measure concentration in the market. The aim of this paper is to determine concentration in the radio and TV broadcasting market in the Republic of Serbia using methods of economic theory. In this paper we begin from the hypothesis of high concentration in supply in the radio and TV broadcasting market and try to prove it by employing scientific methods (Concentration Ratio, Herfindahl-Hirschman index, entropy coeficient, Lorenz curve, Horwath index). The analysis offers the objective indicators of market concentration to the Competition Commission and suggests the measures to support the competition policy in fast-growing industries such as telecommunications.

As tourism cannot be analyzed as an isolated scientific discipline, it is necessary to use a multidimensional and multicriteria approach when studying and researching this field. For this reason, this paper implements a simple methodology for measuring tourism performance in EMU countries using the multicriteria PROMETHEE-GAIA decision model. The paper will, through the analysis of 8 parameters important for the development and evaluation of the tourism industries (number of foreign tourists, number of domestic tourists, quantity of hotel accommodation, cost of living, air pollution, population density, length of railway and number of airports), rank the mentioned countries and provide a deeper analysis of individual parameters. For the entire period of observing and reviewing the performance of the tourism industry, the results of the paper will outline the performance evaluation as well as policy recommendations and conclusions for further consideration and analysis.

The contribution of the paper is in the application of the logistics model in the research of relationship marketing in agen...
