    The introduction of innovations in traditional education systems has imposed the need for adjustments and changes to the entire education system and its participants. The most important moment in the evolution of educational systems is the emergence of e-learning platforms as a result of the growing importance of lifelong learning and their integration into traditional educational environments. Especially nowadays, when the world is facing with the pandemic of Covid 19, the importance of the e-learning process and the use of distance learning platforms comes to the fore. The Faculty of Economics in Prilep is adapting to the new situation. For the realization of the process of distance learning were used the tools of Google, i.e. the G Suite cloud-based tools, such as Google Meet, Google Classroom, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Drive etc. In this paper we will explore the perceptions of students at the Faculty of Economics in Prilep in terms of the benefits provided by these tools and the challenges faced by students in such a new situation where teaching took place completely on-line. For that purpose, a survey was conducted in which students from all study years were included. In this paper will be presented a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained answers through the survey. The questionnaire was created with Google Forms and was delivered to students through the e mail. The main aim of this paper is to detect student’s perceptions of the use of cloud-based e-learning tools. In the future, when creating and accrediting study programs, the recommendations contained in this paper could be taken into account in order to introduce e-learning as a one of the possible ways for realization of educational process.

    What is the role of innovation in productivity growth in Central and Eastern European countries?
    (Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 2017)

    ;
    The paper uses company level data from the Eurostat’s Community Innovation Survey 2008 and applies CDM model in order to estimate the links between R&D engagement, R&D intensity, innovation output and productivity in selected Central and Eastern European Countries – Bulgaria and Romania, and compares their performance with Germany. The results showed that different processes drive company's decision to engage in R&D in Bulgaria and Romania in comparison to Germany; R&D intensity is an important factor of product innovation in the observed CEE countries and product innovation leads to higher productivity in Bulgaria and Romania, while process innovation leads to higher productivity in Bulgaria, but not in Romania.

    This paper provides empirical evidence on the innovation performance in the European countries in the years of recovery from the global economic and financial crisis by using the CDM model of simultaneous equations. The model directly links R&D engagement and intensity to innovation outcomes measured either as process or as product innovation, and then estimates the effectiveness of the innovative efforts leading to productivity gains. The difference between the drivers of innovation systems and its influence over the productivity growth is analyzed between two different institutional settings in Europe. For that purpose a company-level dataset is used from the 2012 round of the Comunity Innovation Survey. Тhe results indicated that the recent financial crisis had negative influence on the companies’ willingness to innovate. The effect of the crisis led to further divergence in the innovation systems of these two institutional settings. Identifying the characteristics of the innovation systems and drivers of innovation during the turmoil shows that policy instruments on EU level should be oriented towards creation of competitive business environment, encouragement to adopt the best management techniques and organizational structures and improvement of well-functioning capital, product and labor markets.
