(University of Zilina, 2024) Alexandru, Vlad Andrei; Mititean, Pompei; Jerdea, Loredana; Vintilă, Florina
Research background: Cross-border cooperation promotes multifield relations in the global economy with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to find new markets and business networks and achieve any higher economic performance. In addition, it is more than healthy for businesspeople to use their experience to address the challenges of multi-cultural interactions and to form, develop, adjust and strengthen relationships within dynamic environments. Current studies on business-to-business (B2B) relationships and internationalization provide evidence that there is no single theoretical framework, and the analysis of the correlation between the two processes is an area of interest for future research. Thus, international relationships which take into account the general challenges of global intricacies, the cultural differences between target markets, emerge as relevant. Purpose of the article: The paper seeks to examine managers' perception and attitude towards different facets of B2B relationships availed by SMEs in international contexts. Methods: The research method used is the interview-based survey, a qualitative, eminently exploratory method which facilitates an investigation of presumed relationships between different constructs and, implicitly, a pertinent description of socio-human processes and phenomena. Findings & Value added: The qualitative analysis of the collected data pointed to several main conclusions. Firstly, most of the interviewed subjects rated the dimensions related to B2B relationships as important in the internationalisation process of their SMEs. Secondly, managers consider that economic interests and overall business details prevail over socio-cultural differences between business partners and over the characteristics of the country of origin.

(Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Faculty of Management, 2024-08) Stăneiu, Roxana Maria; Stratone, Mădălina Elena; Dabija, Dan Cristian; Mititean, Pompei
This paper aims to explore how business organisations in the Romanian IT&C sector strategically implement neuro-leadership principles to accelerate the adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, thus enhancing human capital development and promoting sustainable competitive advantages. Applying the focus group method, dynamic discussions were held with 10 representatives of Romanian IT&C companies to highlight how these business organisations strategically implement neuroleadership principles and adopt AI technologies in human capital management. The results of the research, divided into four main themes, reveal the importance of neuroleadership in improving employee competencies as well as overcoming the challenges associated with implementing AI in organisations. Research provides new and relevant insights for leaders in business organisations to effectively adapt to the complexity of technological change caused by AI adoption in human resource management. At the same time, the results reveal the importance of fostering a culture of continuous learning and development to harness the potential benefits of AI, while mitigating the risks associated with this approach. The originality of the paper is derived from the merging of the fields of leadership, neuroscience, and AI, thus providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics shaping organisational responses to technological innovation.
