To assess the level of integrated economic stability, it is proposed to use a system of indicators that combine the parameters of process and marketing stability. The overall score is determined by adding the rank to the weighting factor for each indicator and summing the values for each selected aspect. The formation requirements of a strategic set for the development of food industry enterprises are considered, in accordance with the peculiarities of production, the introduction of innovative technologies and the identification of latent reserves to strengthen integrated economic stability. It is proved that maintaining a stable position of food industry enterprises in conditions of fierce competition in both foreign and domestic markets is a rather difficult task, the solution of which is possible only under the condition of innovation and modernization policy.

Crisis, in whatever form it takes, is a challenge for modern business. The challenge lies in the fact that a company is prepared to balance the difficult conditions that are created, while preserving their business interest and efficiency. Thus, companies focus only on their perceived fixed bases, those that are in the internal environment such as the human capital. The need for better human resource management is more urgent than ever, and the burden on the business department is particularly great. The aim of this qualitative research is to highlight the strategies that were developed by agri-food companies in Greece and contribute to the maintenance and motivation of employees in the context of economic crisis. The methodology of this study is based on in depth interviews that were conducted in focus group discussion. Eleven companies from the agri-food sector in the region of Central Greece participated in the research.

Companies had to face different difficulties to use these strategies, but most of them proved that they can face their weaknesses and apply these strategies in a turbulent period like a financial crisis.

Today, a company continues its activities in a highly competitive environment regardless of the sector in which it operates. An important point has been emphasized in many developments by experienced managers and academics which have been released to the public. From marketing to finance, human resource management, auditing and planning, all business processes have entered an incredible innovative process. One of the topics in this process is big data. When cumulative data are not used, they cannot transcend being huge piles of garbage. However, it is not possible to analyze such large, complex, and dynamic data via conventional methods. At this point, the concept of big data has emerged. In this study, after the explanation and definition of the concept, a vast literature review was conducted in order to present the relationship of big data with IoT, big data-related topics, and academic researches on big data. Afterwards, real-life enterprise applications were exemplified from various industries.

Recent business practices over the past decade have been tainted with corporate restructuring strategies such as downsizing, reorganizations, and job redesigns. With the hopes of increasing efficiency, gaining productivity, and reducing costs, many companies have participated in such efforts. However, one must consider the irony behind this shrewd, if not tactfully harsh, business practice. While organizations continue to decrease their workforce in an effort to regain acceptable profit margins, cut back on “waste” and become “leaner”, they also stress the importance of sharing knowledge among employees and building organizational memory. How can a company effectively share knowledge and build organizational memory when its employee base is shrinking? This is an interesting question that has stirred much debate over recent years, both in the public and private sector. As such, this book chapter attempts to explore the paradoxical relationship between downsizing (brain-drain) and building organizational memory (brain-gain).

Economic Considerations

Chinese enterprises are developing their global business very quickly and strong national players, such as Haier, HuaWei, TCL, and Pearl River Pianos, are part of this trend. After years of rapid expansion at home and developing an important export business for established overseas producers, these players now have the size, financial strength, and product quality to take on the competition on an international or even global scale. Different from before, when Chinese enterprise was government centered, they are now more driven by economic considerations, such as growing the business overseas and reaping higher profit margins; accessing advanced technology; realizing cost synergies in areas like production, sourcing, and R&D; and creating competitive advantage for the fierce competition in the home market (Wharton, 2005).
