Savremene informaciono-komunikacione tehnologije (IKT) i njihova primena u poslovanju multinacionalnih kompanija i drugih poslovnih sistema pečat su globalizacije na početku 21. veka. Razvoj mikroelektronike, proizvodnja i upotreba računara omogućili su prelazak industrijskog društva u informaciono društvo. Sa razvojem IKT dolazi do približavanja tradicionalnih oblika poslovanja nosioca međunarodnog biznisa, s jedne strane, i informatike, s druge strane. U radu smo se osvrnuli i na razvoj informacionog društva u Republici Srbiji. U pitanju je nacionalni projekat koji treba da harmonizuje našu informaciono-komunikacionu infrastrukturu sa "Digitalnom agendom EU".

Trading companies that expand their operations beyond the national borders need to know the determinants or factors affecting the success of the internationalization strategy. Theoretical and practical research of the past twenty years has seen these factors as a set of economic, political, social, and cultural factors, which, ultimately, determine the choice of the specific market to operate on in the next period. In addition, research results in this field consider internationalization factors on two grounds, in terms of the national market, as "push", and in terms of the new, foreign market, as "pull" factors. The aim of this paper is to examine socio-cultural factors of trade internationalization. These factors will be analysed in terms of their impact on trade internationalization, as well as the impact of internationalization on them. The basic hypothesis to be tested is that socio-cultural factors affect various activities of international trade chains. In order to test the hypothesis, empirical research on sociocultural factors of trade internationalization on the Serbian market will be conducted.

Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWFs) is important participant in global financial market. Although they were arisen more than fifty years ago, in the theory they have not been explored. In the literature, there is no relevant theoretical and empirical material on the basis of which we can make reliable economic objectification of financial assets available to SWFs, and even more difficult to realize their investment objectives and strategy. There are relatively few comparable data on their assets, investment strategy and management, indicating a lack of transparency of SWFs. It has prompted us, referring to the available contemporary theory and practice of progressive developed countries, to study the structure of the investment portfolio, investment models, countries and companies invested by SWFs. In the paper, we are looking for an answer to the question: Can SWFs in the global economic and financial crisis significantly mitigate its consequences? The results of the research we will test on the most developed SWFs.
