In the article we present our ecosystem based approach of industrial digitalization in Hungary, and provide empirical evidence that Industry 4.0 doesn't create a uniform platform for the expectations of the actors of the Hungarian industrial digitization ecosystem in respect to the expected priorities of macro level industry policy; and regarding the implementation of the innovations there are differences between the actors in dependence of their geographical location. In the empirical part of the article we rely on the survey of the Industry 4.0 National Technology Platform and demonstrate its conclusions. We also introduce the dualistic structure...

Although the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is a macro-regional policy document of the European Union, it pays special attention to the development of the Danube, the river it is named after. In the field of transport, an EUSDR priority area (1a) is dedicated especially to waterways mobility, addressing mainly transportation on the Danube. One of the key targets is to increase cargo transport on the river by 20% by 2020 in relation to the base year of 2010. In recent years, there is growing interest in analyzing the implementation of EUSDR, but inland navigation related results are still under-researched. This paper aims to fill this gap...

On the basis of common and unified methodologies, NUTS3 (county) level climate change strategies have been completed in Hungary. The strategies also consist comprehensive inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as quantified decarbonization (emission reduction) targets for the years of 2020, 2030 and optionally, 2050. The primary objective of the paper is to identify the spatial structure of the GHG emissions and to assess the interconnection between NUT3 level economic development and emission patterns. Comparative analyses of the county's decarbonization targets are also presented in order to assess their contribution in the national...

Talent management (TM) has become a key business issue recently, while finding and keeping talents are also crucial in higher education (HE). However, no study summarizes the knowledge on TM of academics. Hence, we conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review searching for existing knowledge about and common processes of TM in HE, and the specialties of TM of academics. We searched for all publications on TM related to academia in Web of Science and Scopus. Non-English and non-article items were excluded resulting in 68 and 108 items, respectively. Eventually, 26 articles were found relevant for a deeper analysis. Besides descriptive statistical...

The objective of the current analysis is to discover the territorial characteristics of the Hungarian Roma population and its changes during the last almost three decades. The basis of the investigation is provided by the census datasets from 1990 and 2011 - as auto-identification - and two surveys (the so-called CIKOBI survey from 1984-1987 and the survey of the University of Debrecen from 2010-2013), ensuring the external ethnic identification. The last census gave 315,000 Roma and the recent survey resulted in approximately 876,000 Roma people in Hungary.The significant growth of the Roma population is obviously demonstrated and its regional...

The market situation of European shopping centres has been significantly changed compared to previous decades for a number of reasons. Among other reasons, it is important to underline the ageing European population. Furthermore, the ratio of elderly is projected to increase further in Hungary. These demographic processes lead to wide range of socio-economic impacts on the country. One of the consequences that senior customers are becoming increasingly important target group for shopping centres nowadays. They have already had a considerable purchasing power in Budapest.

We made a layered questionnaire survey in 2005, in the framework of which we received replies from one thousand entrepreneurs and business leaders to our question relating to the competitiveness of Hungarian towns and cities. This research conducted more than ten years ago sought the answer to the following questions: what aspects do Hungarian businesses prefer when choosing their business location, which Hungarian cities are considered competitive by company leaders and why, which are the cities that the stakeholders see as real economic centres? In the light of the results, we repeated our survey in 2016-2017, allowing thereby the comprehensive evaluation...

Nowadays we face the increasing significance of regions as social, cultural, political and economic interaction systems (Agnew, 2000, 2001 and Haukkala et al., 1999 in Palekiene, Simanaviciene, & Bruneckiene, 2015). Due to the ongoing changes in global economy they face several challenges regarding the well-being of their inhabitants. Meanwhile, it is worth to consider that the different inhabitants and stakeholders would have different preferences for the development and use of various sources of the settlement. The differences in the utility functions may lead to conflicts. These conflict would arise among new comers and current land owners,...

In the decades, following the political transition more and more researchers started to study the Hungarian small towns because of the increasing number of settlements belonging to this category and their dominant role in the urban network. The literature studying the opportunities in foreign direct investment do not deal or only negligently deal with the effects of social and economic processes on the life of small towns. After reviewing the different approaches of location theories, we can get an overall picture in the relation of settlements and direct investment. This gives answers to the specific forms of direct investment flow and settling in...

Bankruptcies carry important information for the market. Bankruptcy rules in crisis become even more relevant since the reason of insolvency then is often not caused by the company's failure or inefficiency, but by external impacts like chain debts or the loosing of markets. So it happened in 2008 too. The balancing in the bankruptcy rules in these cases should be designed to guarantee the return of the expectations developed by the interested parties - debtors and creditors - at the time of the investment. This is the way to protect the trust of the participants in the financial markets and in the businesses. Despite many amendments the efficiency...

Major challenges in the development of modern registers may be categorised as follows: enforcement of market transparency, wide application of various possibilities imminent in the electronic schemes, guarantee of an as broad access to the market as possible...
