Workers and organised labour are being challenged by the increasing expansion of digital labour platforms in most countries worldwide. Such digital platforms and their algorithms create controversial forms of work relationships and undermine traditional labour organisation, leading to extensive public and scientific debate. […] Through our empirica...
Identifying the performance factors of organizations is of utmost importance for labor studies for both empirical and theoretical research. The present study investigates the essential intra-and extra-organizational factors in determining the performance of firms using the European Company Survey (ECS) 2019 framework. The evolutionary computation m...
Given the importance of identifying key performance points in organizations, this research intends to determine the most critical intra-and extra-organizational elements in assessing the performance of firms using the European Company Survey (ECS) 2019 framework. The ECS 2019 survey data were used to train an artificial neural network optimized usi...
A tanulmány a 2016-os mikrocenzus adatait nemzetközi módszertan szerint elemzi abból a célból, hogy felmérje, az automatizáció terjedése a munkahelyek hány százalékát veszélyezteti. A szerzők szakértői becslések alapján automatizációs veszélyeztetettségi mutatókat rendelnek a különböző foglalkozási csoportokhoz; az eredmények szerint a munkavállaló...
In our study, we analyse data from the Hungarian Microcensus (2016) in order to map the proportion of Hungarian jobs threatened by the spread of automation. In doing so, we use the internationally well-known methodology of Carl Benedict Frey and Michael A. Osborne who estimated the probability of computerization for 702 occupations. The analysis wa...
The study examines the essential features of the so-called platform-based work, which is rapidly evolving into a major, potentially game-changing force in the labor market. From low-skilled, low-paid services (such as passenger transport) to highly skilled and high-paying project-based work (such as the development of artificial intelligence algori...
Although the share of platform work is very small compared to conventional and traditional employment system, research shows that the use of platform work is increasingly growing all over the world. Trade unions have also paid special attention to the platform work because they know that the transfer of a percentage of human resources to the platfo...
A közbeszéd leginkább gyűjtőfogalomként használja a start-up kifejezést a technológiai újdonságok értékesítésére alapított vállalkozások jellemzésére. Ugyanakkor az új vagy újszerű ötlet piacra vezetésén túl, a legtöbb üzleti funkciót (marketing, értékesítés, termék/szolgáltatásfejlesztés, HR stb.) innovatív és proaktív módon látják el, valamint a...
The fear of job loss due to the labour-saving technological changes is not a new phenomenon, dating back to the 19th century Luddites in Britain. Recently, similar fear has reawakened due to the rapid expansion of the increasingly cheap and capable computers (digitisation). According to the empirical experience of the European Working Condition Sur...
The paper addresses the challenges of a better scientific understanding of the complexity of innovation processes. In this relation the authors are stressing the need to adopt the so-called “holistic” innovation strategy integrated into the national innovation governance system in the innovation “front-runner” countries (i.e. Sweden, Finland, Denma...
A tanulmány értékeli a magyar kkv-szektor innovációs teljesítményét. A szervezeti méret, a tanulási-abszorpciós képesség és az innováció „hármasa” képezi az elemzés központi tárgyát. Az eredmények szerint jelentős különbségek találhatók a régi és új EU-tagállamok innovációs teljesítményében. A kkv-szektor innovációs teljesítménye minden tagállamban...
Innovation has been really become a buzzword in recent decades both in the scientific and the political community. It is regarded as a primary driver of social and economic development. However, the EU’s innovation performance hasn’t improved significantly in the past 15 years, despite the remarkable political effort to boost it. In this paper, by...

created by the changing priorities of the political market, the intensification of
global competition and t...
This book focuses on the nature and role of entrepreneurship in modern developed and emerging economies and societies, its relation to governments and universities, and its role in the often forgotten informal economy. The aim is to position entrepreneurship in the post-crisis context and explore how its relation to universities and governments con...
The concepts of ‘high performance working system' (HPWS) and lean production represent the theoretical and methodological foundations of this article. We make a distinction between three theoretical strands of the HPWS and the lean production approaches, namely: ( i) the diffusion of the Japanese-style management and organisational practices both i...
ABSTRACT. Finland belongs to the most developed countries concerning almost all
aspects of its economic performance. One of the key elements of the Finnish “economic
miracle” is the country’s outstanding performance in both technological and
organizational innovations. The Adaptykes project, which is financed by the EU, aims
at adapting some result...
The so-called “High Performance Working System” (HPWS) and the lean production are representing
the theoretical and methodological foundations of this paper. In this relation it is worth making distinction
between various theoretical streams of the HPWS. The first theoretical stream in the literature is focusing
on the diffusion of the Japanese-sty...
A magyar kormányzat a 2010–2014-es kormányzati ciklusban az információbiztonsági stratégiát az e-kormányzati kezdeményezések központjába helyezte, és egy szisztematikus fentről lefelé építkező törvénykezési folyamattal számos intézményt hozott létre ezen a területen. Az információbiztonsággal kapcsolatos incidensek hatékony kezelését alapvetően a t...
The Hungarian government has placed national security and within that cyber security into the centre of its e-government strategy and derived from that a series of systematic legal institutions and policies have been created.

In the last decade, non-technological and particularly organisational innovations have gained more and
more importance and research focus. However, there is no consensus among the academic community
either about the definition or about the broader theoretical and methodological foundations of this phenomena. In the present study the authors intend...
The current global financial and economic crisis has brought into prominence the patterns of economic modernisation of post-socialist countries in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. One of the key factors of successful modernisation and sustainability of competitiveness in these economies is the firms' innovative capability. The paper a...
In this paper the authors intend to examine the innovation performance of the Hungarian firms before and following the period of the global financial crisis and economic downturn. Contrary to the mainstream approach non-technological innovation, more precisely workplace innovation is put into the focus of the analysis. The authors argue that this i...
The core aim of this paper is to evaluate to what extent were companies able to join to the global value chains (GVCs) through some selected company case studies.
A new empirical model is presented in this paper with respect to the productivity spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) by focusing on the multi-layered structure of industrial classifications. In this model, the market presence of horizontal FDI in a host country is expressed using multiple spillover variables with a nested structur...
This study examines the effects of ownership transformation from the state to the private sector on firm performance in the post-privatization period using annual census-type data of Hungarian enterprises for the early 2000s.

Michael Porter’s concept of competitive advantages emphasizes the importance of regional cooperation of various actors in order to gain competitiveness on globalized markets. Foreign investors may play an important role in forming such cooperation networks. Their local suppliers tend to concentrate regionally. They can form, together with local ins...
The MEADOW Guidelines propose a measurement framework for collecting and interpreting internationally harmonised data on organisational change and its economic and social impacts for both private and public sector organisations. Reliable harmonised statistics on organisational change would provide the basis for effective benchmarking through the ex...
A new empirical model is presented in this paper with respect to the productivity spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) by focusing on the concentric-circle structure of industrial organizations arising from sectoral differences among firms. In this model, the market presence of horizontal FDI in a host country is expressed using mul...
In this paper, we empirically examine the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the export decision of domestic firms using large-scale panel data from Hungary. In comparison with the conventional model that expresses the export propensity of multinational enterprises (MNEs) with a single variable, the concentric-circle model, considering th...
In the epoch of globalization, small or medium-sized national companies have great difficulties in finding an appropriate place for themselves in global labor division systems. They most frequently apply either strategies that help them becoming part of global value chains as regular suppliers, or they try to locate in which they might cooperate wi...
