The vivid non-linear business environment of nowadays, enhances companies to embrace the complexity leadership approach, in order to remain competitive in a globalized industry. Maintaining their adaptive system is found to be the main challenge. This paper aims to analyze the up-to-date literature based on Complex Adaptive Leadership approach, focusing on Chaos Theory and Complexity Science. In addition a real-life case of a German company investing in real-estate sector in Albania is introduced. The highly dynamic environment of construction project depends on the information flow and interaction between project stakeholders, which is proved to impose high unpredictability, continuous disequilibrium and emergence. Butterfly Effect, Strange Attractors, Self-Organization, Emergence Decision- Making, Feedback and over all Complex Behaviors of the Company Leadership are discussed considering the circumstances under which the company has terminated the agreement with General Contractor during the construction phase. Finally the consequences of these changes are disclosed and recommendations for improving future actions are proposed. Keywords: Leadership, Complex Adaptive Leadership, Chaos Theory Introduction Over the last several years, the dynamic complex development of business environment require the organizations to cope with high level of uncertain, unpredictable, continually-changing and evolutionary circumstances in order to remain competitive and respond to market needs. The aim of this paper is to analyze the Leadership Behaviors under Complex Adaptive Leadership Approach using a real- life case of a German real-estate investor company operating in Albania. The first section is dedicated to empirical review of up-to-date literature on Chaos Theory and Complexity Science. The initial scientific interest on explaining them, have been observed, when the traditional leadership approaches were not able to interpret the emerged phenomenon of non- linearity, infocracy and polyarchy. The main attributes of Chaos Theory are described, focusing on Butterfly Effect and Strange Attractors. Further, an in-deep analyze of Complex Adaptive Systems, is undertaken introducing its most important characteristics. The idea of wide range behavioral leadership is portrayed through “Whole Leader” figure. While the complexity science is ascertain through similarities with human brain and human ecosystems. The literature review is completed by identifying the continuous need of Complex Adaptive Systems for Self- Organization and Feedback. On the second part, the profile of the Company, representing a German real-estate investor in Albania is presented followed by a narrative explanation of the parties involved in the project and their assigned responsibilities. A major change that occurred when the agreement with General Contractor was terminated in the middle of construction phase is prescribed laying the ground for further analysis of the case. The influence of Butterfly Effect in the company is found to be crucial for further development of the project. Negligence

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • Women Rights and Gender Equality As Per Albanian Law
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy March 2016 Women Rights and Gender Equality as Per Albanian law Evelina Qirjako, Ph.D. Candidate Member of Supreme Court; [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n1p195 Abstract Following the integration process with European Union, Albania has an obligation to progress on gender equality area. In this regard, Albania should develop a comprehensive legal framework and establish effective mechanisms to address and overcome gender inequalities, as well as efficient tools and concrete results for prevention of gender based violence, rehabilitation and integration of its victims, and concrete results for advancement of women rights in all sectors of life. This article provides an overview of albanian legislation on gender equality, and relevant reccomandations for intensification of institutional steps to achieve gender equality in Albania. Keywords: gender equality; women rights; gender based violence; referal mechanism; gender discrimination; national authority for gender equality; 1. Introduction Gender Equality (equality between men and women) constitutes substantial part of human rights. The Constitution as the fundamental law of ALBANIA, provides for the principle of equality for all citizens as guaranteed by law (Article 18.) Following this universal principle, men and women, being both subjects of the law, are legally treated equally, and have equal rights and obligations, but in real life the equality is not achieved. Gender equality may achieved when as a result of application of the law men and women have same gains and responsibilities. Gender roles impact crucial personal decisions: on education, on career development, on working potentials, on family and on fertility.

The Development of the Concept of “Public Space” in Tirana Eduina Zekaj Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania Abstract. The term “public space”, also known as urban space is a pretty old phrase, but was used as e concept with a clear definition during the modern era. The evolution of this term is well known in Tirana, because of its constant development especially in the recent projects. The first attempts started in 1914, but by that time there did not exist a real concept of the public space, which accordingly was affected by the citizens’ lifestyle. Public spaces in Tirana have changed a lot since then by recreating the concept of “public use”. There are many examples of squares, streets and parks which have gone through the process of change over the years and have affected people’s lives.

  • Advantages of Stock Exchange Lıstıng
    European Scientific Journal February 2016 edition vol.12, No.4 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Advantages Of Stock Exchange Lıstıng Dr. Xhensila Kadi Faculty of Law, University of Tirana doi: 10.19044/esj.2016.v12n4p190 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2016.v12n4p190 Abstract The Stock Exchange is a regulated market of securities where contracts for the sale and purchase of the financial instruments are stipulated. The financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, derivatives with a definite price are traded and exchanged in the Stock Exchange. In this case the price is determined by the balance of supply and demand. If we would describe the Stock Exchange with an image, we would think a square in which some companies with public offer or companies with public participation operate. In particular, in it we may found industrial companies, financial companies, banks, services companies, etc. If we refer to history, the first and real trade of securities occurred around the year 1500 in Bruges. Nevertheless, Antwerp has been considered the first Stock Exchange, as the one of Bruges cannot be defined a genuine Stock Exchange. In Albania, till the end of 2014 we have had the Tirana Stock Exchange (TSE). The Tirana Stock Exchange was founded in 2002 in the form of a joint stock company, and has operated in accordance with the provisions of the Law No. 9901 dated 14.04.2008 “On the Entrepreneurs and trading companies” and the Law no. 9879, date 21.02.2008 “On Securities”. Initially, the listing of securities on the stock exchanges, for many entrepreneurs, meant an advertisement for the company, while now it is a widespread phenomenon in the world.

This paper will take in consideration the current situation of the Albanian financial system after two decades of transition towards market economy and analyzes the barriers and challenges that lie ahead on the path of development. The analysis considers three segments of financial system: banks, debt market and capital market, without underestimating none of them. Based on the experience of developed countries we have given some consideration and have observed several problems related to the role of the financial system and economy as a whole. After financial “tsunami” of 2008 the Albanian economy, the financial system is faced to global financial crisis and also faced to consequences of it. That’s one more reason to be more careful now, especially, about banking sector. But how will be transmitted to and affect the financial crisis of 2008 in Albania? What about the financial system and especially the banking sector in Albania after global crisis? Which are the determinants of crisis? Actually Albanian economy has felt a limited impact from global financial crisis. Slow integration to the global markets ,the prudent economic policies and the lack of financial markets have eventually spare Albanian economy by financial crisis but not so much from economic crisis.

  • International Journal Vol.31.1 June, 2019 the ALBANIAN ECONOMY in the STOCK MARKET PERSPECTIVE
    KNOWLEDGE – International Journal Vol.31.1 June, 2019 THE ALBANIAN ECONOMY IN THE STOCK MARKET PERSPECTIVE Bajram Lamaj Deparment of Finance and Credit, Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov, Bulgaria Stefan Simeonov Deparment of Finance and Credit, Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov, Bulgaria [email protected] Abstract: Since the origin of the capitalist economic system, Albania suffers from a shrinking financial system. The financial system lacks what is perhaps the most important and dynamic part in developed economies: a capital market. It is an important element for the country's economic and financial development, as it is a very competitive alternative to the banking sector, reducing intermediation costs for businesses and all economic operators by enabling cheaper alternatives to fund the activity. Today, the banking system has almost exhausted opportunities to be a business financing promoter. And this is the stage where the Albanian economy has come to. Businesses cannot meet all the financing needs of the banking system, while on the other hand, there are individuals who, at the moment, have little choice of investment of their savings. Interest rates, both for bank deposits and government securities, have already reached an extremely low level and are not at all attractive for individual investors, which makes them look for far more attractive investment alternatives. In this way the scholarship will bring an alternative that individuals can invest savings in shares or other securities of companies that will be interested in trading in Albania thus developing the capital market and taking advantage of all the economic benefits that it brings.
