  Environmental Management and the Impact of Regulation in Bulgaria

  In placing increased emphasis on good environmental management, the Bulgaria government began providing resources on environmental management, such as guidance documents, case studies, and benchmarking studies. It also motivates businesses to understand the full spectrum of environmental costs and incorporate these costs into decision-making. Some ... In placing increased emphasis on good environmental management, the Bulgaria government began providing resources on environmental management, such as guidance documents, case studies, and benchmarking studies. It also motivates businesses to understand the full spectrum of environmental costs and incorporate these costs into decision-making. Some of the difficulties are non-uniform definitions and non-uniform executions, and lack of comparable information. The report discusses the needs for good quality information to be available to both managers and society before further advances can be made.

  The Statistical Quality Control – European Alternative of Quality

  The implementation of the statistical methods for quality control of the technological processes is an important approach that ensures a substantial increase in the quality of the production. The statistical methods for quality control are wide spread practice in the developed countries. On the contrary they are almost not implemented in the ... The implementation of the statistical methods for quality control of the technological processes is an important approach that ensures a substantial increase in the quality of the production. The statistical methods for quality control are wide spread practice in the developed countries. On the contrary they are almost not implemented in the Bulgarian economy and as a result achieving high quality by the European standards is only a good intention. The survey performed in about 300 enterprises from the machinery construction industry in Bulgaria have shown that the statistical methods are unknown to the workers in that branch of industry and that they have not been implementing such methods in the practice despite their obvious advantages. Thus it is necessary for the Ministry of Economy and Energy to undertake practical steps on the implementation of statistical methods for quality control in the machinery construction enterprises by developing a “Strategy” in which to define the priorities of the Government, the measures and the financial resources that will ensure the training of specialists and the implementation of modern systems for quality management.

  Human Action, Part Four, Chapter XXIII. The Data of the Market

  Catallactics, the theory of the market economy, is not a system of theorems valid only under ideal and unrealizable conditions and applicable to reality merely with essential restrictions and modifications. All the theorems of catallactics are rigidly and without any exception valid for all phenomena of the market economy, provided the particular ... Catallactics, the theory of the market economy, is not a system of theorems valid only under ideal and unrealizable conditions and applicable to reality merely with essential restrictions and modifications. All the theorems of catallactics are rigidly and without any exception valid for all phenomena of the market economy, provided the particular conditions which they presuppose are present. It is, for instance, a simple question of fact whether there is direct or indirect exchange. But where there is indirect exchange, all the general laws of the theory of indirect exchange are valid with regard to the acts of exchange and the media of exchange. As has been pointed out1, praxeological knowledge is precise or exact knowledge of reality. All references to the epistemological issues of the natural sciences and all analogies derived from comparing these two radically different realms of reality and cognition are misleading. There is, apart from formal logic, no such thing as a set of "methodological" rules applicable both to cognition by means of the category of causality and to that by means of the category of finality.
