APSTRAKT: Ličnost brenda predstavlja skup ličnih osobina pomoću kojih potrošači opisuju brendove. Danas je ličnost brenda posebno i veoma popularno područje istraživanja u marketingu, jer dobro osmišljena ličnost brenda može biti veoma dobro sredstvo diferenciranja na tržištu. Osnovni cilj ovog rada jeste da se ličnost brenda predstavi u razrađenom obliku u domaćoj literaturi. Izvršen je pregled velikog broja dosadašnjih studija u ovoj oblasti, da bi se pokazalo kako je ličnost brenda postala sastavni deo marketinške teorije i prakse, kako se formira, na koji način se meri i kakav uticaj ima na marketinške rezultate. Posebno se bavimo metodološkim nedostacima prethodnih studija. U radu takođe iznosimo osnovne rezultate studije koju smo sproveli na tržištu Srbije, a koja se bavila merenjem ličnosti brendova mobilnih operatera. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se tri mobilna operatera u Srbiji (mt:s, Telenor i Vip Mobile) značajno razlikuju prema osnovnim dimenzijama ličnosti brenda. Isto tako, pokazalo se da je doživljaj ličnosti brendova pod uticajem doživljaja ličnosti kategorije kojoj brendovi pripadaju, kao i načina oglašavanja brendova. Istraživanje ličnosti brenda je veoma značajno i korisno u praksi, jer daje mnogo precizniju sliku o trenutnom stanju imidža brenda i mogućnostima poboljšanja pojedinih odlika brenda, nego što to omogućuju klasična istraživanja imidža brenda.
Ključne reči: ličnost brenda, diferenciranje brenda, lične osobine, percepcija potrošača, Petofaktorski model

- Middle-income Asian economies face risks of experiencing a sustained slowdown in economic growth, falling into what is known as the "middle-income trap".
- Empirical analysis finds the probability of a marked, decade-long fall in growth is about 1.5 times higher for middle-income economies than for advanced or low-income countries.
- However, whether a country experiences a slowdown depends on the quality of its policies, institutions, and structural features like trade openness and infrastructure development. Strengthening these areas can help middle-income Asian economies avoid falling into the trap.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Future plans include outlining global connectivity outlooks and trends, sharing case studies, and identifying additional resources on cross-sector connectivity issues.
This document discusses human capital investment and outlines a three pillar approach:
1. The Human Capital Index measures and tracks the productivity of future workers based on their expected health and education outcomes.
2. Improving measurement and research of human capital formation to better support investment decisions.
3. Engaging countries to develop national strategies to accelerate progress on human capital through early adopters.
Key areas of focus are improving survival rates, quality of education, adult health, and creating an aligned education system focused on learning outcomes.
The document discusses strategies used by the UN SDG Action Campaign to engage citizens and sustain momentum for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It describes global events like the annual Global Day to Act4SDGs on September 25th to mark the anniversary of the SDGs. It also highlights campaigns using new technologies like augmented reality illustrations of the SDGs and social media engagement. Additionally, it mentions the Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development and SDG Action Awards to inspire action and recognize innovators. The MyWorld survey aims to empower all people to have a say in progress on the SDGs.
This document discusses engaging citizens in the SDGs and provides recommendations. It covers:
1) The need to engage citizens and stakeholders due to a whole-of-society agenda, low public trust, and new media landscape.
2) Lessons learned from 3 years of SDG engagement including the importance of commitment, becoming better listeners, involving all sectors, and connecting through stories and data.
3) Next steps for G20 members to further support communication, such as campaigns for gender equality, engaging businesses, and finding new development narratives.
The document discusses promoting women's economic empowerment through four focus topics: labor, digital, financial, and rural. It notes that 50% of women do not have an income of their own, women are overrepresented in part-time and low quality jobs, and only 40% of women have access to bank accounts. The document makes recommendations to address barriers women face in education, future of work, social services, and more to promote gender equality.
Low- and middle-income countries need $1.4 trillion annually to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. This requires tremendous investment in areas like health, education, agriculture, energy, water and sanitation, and infrastructure. However, scaling up investment is challenging due to slow economic growth, low existing investment rates, and declining fiscal balances in these countries. A robust policy framework is needed to deliver sustainable infrastructure and mobilize both public and private financing from domestic and international sources. The next 10-15 years will be crucial to shift investment towards a new growth path focused on sustainability.
The OECD Development Centre’s Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) is a cross-country measure of discrimination against women in social institutions (formal and informal laws, social norms, and practices) across 160 countries. Discriminatory social institutions intersect across all stages of girls’ and women’s life, restricting their access to justice, rights and empowerment opportunities and undermining their agency and decision-making authority over their life choices. As underlying drivers of gender inequalities, discriminatory social institutions perpetuate gender gaps in development areas, such as education, employment and health, and hinder progress towards rights-based social transformation that benefits both women and men.
The SIGI covers five dimensions of discriminatory social institutions, spanning major socio-economic areas that affect women’s lives: discriminatory family code, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties. The SIGI’s variables quantify discriminatory social institutions such as unequal inheritance rights, early marriage, violence against women, and unequal land and property rights. Through its 160 country profiles, country classifications and unique database, the SIGI provides a strong evidence base to more effectively address the discriminatory social institutions that hold back progress on gender equality and women’s empowerment!
