“…Business networks are usually molded to suit a diversity of demands, such as human resource development (Suherlan, 2017), and marking strategies for destinations (Zhang and Murphy, 2009); however, they are not especially shaped toward innovation (Booyens and Rogerson, 2017; Nǎstase et al , 2010).…”

“…Nevertheless, integrated networks are considered critical factors for innovation, allowing access to knowledge. The studies discuss this relation, considering local knowledge (Nǎstase et al , 2010) and external practices (Booyens and Rogerson, 2017; Daskalopoulou and Petrou, 2008). Booyens and Rogerson (2017) point out that competitors, followed by consultants, suppliers, and customer feedback, are companies' main source of information.…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the existing empirical literature on regional and business competitiveness in tourism to identify and classify the main themes in this knowledge domain and suggest a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach The authors identified the main themes in the existing research and research gaps through a systematic review of 62 empirical studies from 1980 to 2020. Findings The literature review allowed the authors to identify three main themes: cooperation networks, business strategies and regional development. A conceptual model is developed based on this typology, and a future research agenda is proposed. Originality/value Despite the diverse contributions of the literature on the value of tourism for destinations' competitiveness, there is a lack of empirical evidence of companies’ competitiveness in the tourism sector and tourist destinations. The present study contributes to the systematic evidence of these practices and identifies relevant factors for policy making to improve tourist destinations’ competitiveness.

“…It often depends on the infrastructure owned by a given port with the use of which most services are provided (Biesok, 2013;Nowakowski 2011) and on human resources. A direct contact between employee and customer is crucial and can determine the degree of customer satisfaction, on the other hand it is what triggers quality demands and innovative processes (Năstase et. al., 2010).…”

Purpose: The article aims to present the results of the analysis of the service offer addressed to sailing tourists in the Baltic Sea. The focus was on services available both in the marina and in its immediate vicinity. This offer was analyzed mainly in terms of quantitative purposes. The territorial scope of the research covers marinas located in the southern Baltic region in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, in the Russian Kaliningrad district and on the Danish island of Bornholm. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was carried out in accordance with the prepared research procedure and concerned 178 marinas. The entire process was divided into stages with various research methods and techniques applied, including mathematical and statistical methods, participant observation, and internet resource exploration. Findings: Based on the data on the number of marinas offering individual services, these services have been classified into basic, complementary and optional. The port in the Pomeranian region, located in a large city, offered the most services. The highest average number of services available in the analyzed marinas was observed in the West Pomeranian region (also in Poland), while the lowest in the Kaliningrad region. The research did not show a strong correlation between the number of available berths in a yacht port (from all regions together) and the number of services offered. Considering the regions separately, the situation was different. Three out of six showed a statistically significant linear relationshipfrom moderate to strong. Practical Implications: The results of the analysis can be useful for entities responsible for the development management of yacht ports in the southern Baltic region. Originality/value: The analysis was carried out for the southern Baltic region, taking into account the differences in its individual parts.

“…Following previous researches that have identified an influence of regional profile and policies on the new set up companies and their success [5], the present study aims to analyze the existence of a correlation between the development of the host region and the profile of entrepreneurs from new created companies. As well, taking into consideration the studies of Kolstad and Wiig [6] we will investigate the relation between education, previous experience and entrepreneurial success.…”

Back in 1992, Adam and Schwartz have stated that in all Eastern Europe, privatization was fundamental for the transition from plan to market. The transition was supported by the entrepreneurial initiative, that took advantage from a new open economy [1]. The characteristics of the entrepreneur can influence in a major way the business success and development, the well-being of a nation being closely related to the intensity of the entrepreneurial activity. With no doubt, entrepreneurship is vital for the national economy, being an important growth factor and contributing significantly to the long-term prosperity. For the countries in transition, as Romania, the massive loss of jobs after 1990, determined by "the shrinking of the state sector", was compensated partially by the small business sector that was the "main factor driving economic growth" and absorbed also the "unemployment". The purpose of this paper is to analyse whether there are significant differences in the profile of the founders of newly created enterprises (especially the level of education and previous socio-professional category of founder/manager) from developed regions in Romania during 2010-2016 taking into consideration the rural and urban areas. The research methodology is based on a descriptive analysis and application of a correlation coefficient, using the data collected from the Romanian National Institute of Statistics and from the website of the European Commission for the timeframe mentioned above.
