We consider a special class of linear quadratic stochastic models on Markov jump linear system. The aim is to find the best control function for a model. The search of the control function passes trough the computation of the maximal solution to a system of the general discrete time Riccati equations. An effective method for finding the maximal solution is the method of a linear matrix inequality (a standard method). In this paper we present two new modifications of the method of a linear matrix inequality. The numerical experiments for comparing the computational characteristics of the modified methods and the standard method are executed. The numerical experiments show the effectiveness of new methods to the standard method.DOI: -

The objective of this publication is to review the situation of Bulgarian economy during the world economic crisis from 1929 till 1933. The research employs empirical approach and comparative economic analysis. The effect of the crisis upon major sectors of Bulgarian economy, such as agriculture and industry, has been examined, as well as its impact on the state of domestic and foreign trade, the state finance and the circulation of currency. A conclusion has been made that owing to the economic policy which the government conducted at the time, Bulgarian economy performed relatively well during the economic crisis and succeeded in minimizing the negative consequences of the crisis.DOI: -

The accent is on the necessity to rethink the chaos as having considerable potential for the realization of unusual management practices. The crisis in the value system is a factor that causes disorder and the permanent values presume order. The article examines the relation between the social system and the natural environment, some management models in the aspect of the following categories: order, chaos, management, individualism and holism.DOI: -

Information Society in European Union and Bulgaria – Situation and Trends in Information and Communication Technologies UsageSummary: The European Union has long recognized the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as key factor to greater competitiveness and integration of business organizations of the continent into the global economy.... The European Union has long recognized the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as key factor to greater competitiveness and integration of business organizations of the continent into the global economy. Currently, the transition to the Information Society has no alternative. Matter of national choice of each Member State, including Bulgaria, is not whether to build such, but manner and forms of its realization. Development of Information Society is a cross-border and transnational process in which individual countries implement their national policies. The theme of this paper is to investigate legislation, condition and trends in European Information Society. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of indicators characterizing the Information Society in Europe as a whole and Bulgaria in particular. An empirical data from the websites of Eurostat, National Statistical Institute and the survey with the participation of the author are used for achieving the objective.DOI: -

Individual behaviour is guided by self-interest. The self-interest of the subject of management is extended to a number of functional and group interests. Despite the partial discrepancy between the interest of an individual and the interest of the organization they belong to, when choosing an alternative of management decision the subject of management often shows behavioural consistency under the influence of internal psychological factors. The subject of management is also often characterized by plurality, which is why their behavior is based on the congruence between the interests of a subject and an object of management and on the balance of the interests of a number of external stakeholders.DOI:
