The intensification of globalized economic competition is playing an increasingly important role in the lives of companies to determine their true position among their competitors. Food companies are of paramount importance because of their role and weight in the national economy. In Hungary, the food industry plays an important social and economic role and is a world leader in terms of employment and value added. Currently, there are nearly 1100 active food companies in Hungary, so it is worth examining the peculiarities of the role of trust between companies. There are often contradictory statements in the literature about the effects of Industry 4.0 technologies and the trust placed in IT tools. Therefore, it is a relevant research question to examine whether the characteristics of the role of trust - e.g. staff, suppliers, IT tools and technologies, etc. as confidence levels can have a direct positive impact on the efficiency, profits, liquidity, etc. of the companies in question. development. During the research, I analyzed the level of trust between the food trading companies, in which I discuss the trust within the industry within the company. My aim is to further enrich my previous research knowledge in this field.

With the pace of development and competitiveness, innovation plays an important role to capture the market share. Various countries have effective strategies to enhance Research and Development (R&D) and exchange value added products in international market. So, based on this the aim of this research is to examine the role of R&D, industrial design and charges for intellectual property in innovative exports in South Korean economy. Time series data for the period 1998 to 2017, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) models are used to determine the dynamic interrelationship among the study variables. In summary, the overall results show that there is co-integration rank of in both trace test and value test at 1% significance level. Moreover, OLS and GMM findings depict that there is significant and positive coefficient for ID & RD which represent that they have positive impact on HT. Whereas, the IP displays a negative and significant relationship with high technology exports accordingly. Lastly, the diagnostic tests show that model is stable for the study time period and result is reliable. The current study also suggests some policy implications which can enhance innovative export products of South Korea while enhancing R&D.

Solutions Journalism

The relevance of the research shows solutions journalism as a necessary tool for providing information to the audience that emphasizes problem solving rather than the problems themselves, enhancing the relevance of the text, clarifying its purpose, and encouraging readers to take action. The main objective of the article is to investigate the peculiarities of solutions journalism as a modern phenomenon in journalism and to analyze the importance to implement social responsibility in media structures in order to provide solutions to existing problems, not just describe them. The methodology of the article includes: approaches to the definition of the concepts of «solutions journalism» have been explored through analysis and synthesis; using the systematic method, the criteria for defining «solutions journalism» and its difference from similar terms are formed; the comparative method to analyse the audience involvement in solving social problems before and after the emergence of «solutions journalism» was carried out; content analysis made it possible to examine the use of the terms «problem» and «solution» by society in the Internet; SWOT analysis explores peculiarities of solutions journalism; the cognitive mapping method identifies cause-and-effect relations to the importance of creating social projects by media structures. Research findings show that experts in solutions journalism explain that this approach complements the traditional role of the press, giving a fuller perspective on issues for society. Moreover, under the initiative of Sparknews, an international network of positive-impact solutions journalism, a day dedicated to solutions journalism – Impact Journalism Day – was launched. Moreover, media not only transform their texts into solutions journalism, but also create projects that help solving current problems, including the BBC's «100 Women» Project, CNN's #MyFreedomDay Project, the NY Times's «1619 Project», as well as the social project «People of Ideas +. #ForgetAboutAge» by the 1+1 Media Group. As a conclusion, we can say that in the modern world a rethinking of the role of the media is needed. Journalism cannot continue to cover only problems, and to suppress the readers by illuminating the challenges facing humanity. It is important to promote «value-added journalism», which we call as «solutions journalism» in the article.

Central Asian Countries

The goal of this chapter is to analyze the socio-economic role of value-added agriculture (VAA) for Central Asian (CA) countries. The agricultural sector of the region provides raw materials for the food, textile, and leather industry. Cotton, wheat, rice, and fruit (fresh and dried) play an important role in the foreign trade of each CA country. These countries have unrealized potential for storing, freezing, processing, and packaging of the wide nomenclature of fruit, food production, and drinks with the organization of their further exports to perspective markets. Adding value to agricultural products lead to increasing the share of finished goods in export, supplying import-substituting products, improving infrastructure in rural areas, providing new jobs, and growing farmers' income. Based on the analysis, the authors recommend using value-added agriculture for the CA countries by attracting domestic and foreign investments to rural areas, establishing tax incentives, and allocating preferential credits for agribusiness.

AbstractResearch background. The analysis of the funding gap for SMEs and loan and guarantee funds’ capability to fill this gap has been undertaken to assess the instruments used in Poland which are focused on the development of entrepreneurship.Methodology/methods. The funding gap for small and medium-sized enterprises is measured with the method of unfulfilled demand for funding and unawarded funding. The size of the gap is compared to the potential amount of the guarantees and loans granted by non-bank organisations in Poland dependent on the amount of capital held.Purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to answer the research question of whether guarantee and loan funds in Poland play a significant role in filling the funding gap for small and medium-sized enterprisesFindings & Value added Guarantee and loan funds are not able to fill the equity gap of SMEs in Poland due to low capital resources compared with needs, and an insufficient number of institutions offering non-bank funding. Also, the high risk attributed to loans granted to small and medium-sized entrepreneurs influences the low degree of utilisation of the capital already held, both by loan and guarantee funds. The unutilised capital is deposited in bank accounts and does not lead to the increase of the multiplier effect. The analysis concerns the specificity of the support system for SMEs in Poland and cannot be generalised to systems in other countries. However, the conclusions from the conducted analysis and the methodology of calculation of the equity gap may serve other researchers as a basis for creating their own theses and research hypotheses.

AbstractThe article compares changes in tendencies of value-added flows and the places held by the Central and Eastern European economies (11 countries: Visegrad countries, Baltic States, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania; CEE) in global value chains (GVCs) in manufacturing, services, and their subgroup—information and telecommunication (ICT) services, by relying on the trade in value-added data retrieved from the OECD’s Inter-Country Input–Output Database, available over the period 2005–2015. The objective of this study is to understand the role of these economies in international production linkages applying a value-added methodology. Therefore, the study discusses the role of CEE economies in global economy in terms of forms of participation of services, especially ICT services, in GVCs, including the process of “servicification” of manufacturing. This study led to the verification of two hypotheses: (1) the position of manufacturing in GVCs has been steadily weakening and (2) services, especially ICT services, can have a positive effect on participation of CEE economies in GVCs. The first hypothesis was confirmed by most of analysed countries. The other research question turned out not to be true for all CEE countries, but most of them proved this hypothesis.

The role of agriculture within the frame of the enlarged EU is analysed in this paper. There is a requirement to perceive the tendency towards the downgrading of the status of agriculture in the national economy of the EU countries with the respect of the differences in the importance of agriculture mainly in the countries that are the new EU members. The role of agriculture is characterised by the following indices: share of the agricultural employees in the total employment, share of the added value of  agriculture in the GDP, and index of the value added per one agricultural worker. These indices are the base for the construction of the “index of economic importance of the agriculture” which are the countries ranged by. A multidimensional classification of the countries was realised by the cluster analysis that divided the countries into three clusters accordingly to their similarity with regards to the importance of their agriculture in their national economy.

Year 2000

We analyze the evolution of manufacturing and non manufacturing activities in 132countries for the period 2000-2015, including a summary based on 4 previous studies. Forthe period 2000-2010 we find that the average real value-added of manufacturing percapita in Africa has been very low in both years, from 278 to 282 Dollars at 2005 pricesand PPPs. The average of Asia has increased from 903 in year 2000 to 1443 in year 2010.The averages of America and the group of Europe and Eurasia have reached values higherthan 3000 both in year 2000 and 2010, with a slight decrease for the period 2000-2010.We include the estimation of an econometric model to show the positive impact ofmanufacturing on non-manufacturing production and on economic development. Thisresults, as well as other studies, are an strong support to the Kaldor´s perspective on theimportant role of industry on economic development. In order to reach the SocialDevelopment Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, we think that it is important to increasethe presence of this type of studies and economic policies related with Worlddevelopment in the televisions, newspapers and other social media, in order to fosterinternational cooperation to the eradication of poverty and increase of quality of life.

The goal of this paper is to analyse socio-economic role of value added agriculture in Uzbekistan. The main agricultural exports are cotton (raw and yarn), fruits, vegetables, leather, wool and fur. There is an opportunity to acquire more social and economic advantages by exporting finished goods, which are made out of primary agricultural commodities. Adding value to agricultural products lead to increasing the share of finished goods in export, supplying import-substituting products, improving infrastructure in rural areas, providing new jobs and growing people’s income. The paper presents the analyse of the agriculture sector in GDP and the production dynamics of the primary agricultural commodities during 2005-2014, as well as comparison the share of cotton, fruits, vegetables and leather in export in 2005 and 2014. Based on the analyses it is recommended to widely use value added agriculture in order to support people, who are living in rural areas in Uzbekistan.

Economic Contribution

The decreasing share of production agriculture in the U.S. economy in general and Delaware in particular has raised questions about the amount of government resources being spent on the local agricultural sector. A basic question in the debate is: “What is the real economic contribution of agriculture?” This study looks at the economic role of agriculture in Delaware, presenting different perspectives of what agriculture is and what it contributes to the state economy. Based on three definitions of agriculture, the economic impacts as measured by shares to total employment, output, and value added were estimated using IMPLAN, an input-output modeling software. In each economic impact measure, the share of the local agricultural sector to the total Delaware economy ranged from around 2% to 6% in 1991.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the role of school nurses in the management and prevention of childhood obesity in primary school-aged children. Study design: The chosen paradigm for this research was qualitative and the methodology applied here was Participatory Action Research. A non-probability sample was recruited using pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methods: Focus groups were used as their reflective nature enabled rich in-depth data collection to answer the research question. Two focus groups and one virtual focus group were held. Results: The findings from this research show that although school nurses feel they have a role in the prevention and management of childhood obesity in primary school-aged children they face several barriers in being able to achieve this. Conclusions: This research has highlighted a gap in the literature regarding the perception of the school nurse role by school nurses as well as by teachers and parents. This is an area where further study may have a positive impact on school nurses' ability to play a more leading role in public health.
