AbstractThe underlying objective of the paper is to indicate pro-environmental awareness level in micro and small enterprises and its influence on this sector’s activity in the context of environmental management. The author has introduced a taxonomy of pro-environmental awareness and also pro-environmental security, pro-environmental culture and pro-environmental ethics. Heterogeneous pro-environmental attitudes of units/entities (including business entities) have been aggregated in the paper, in the context of their transformation from a passive towards active attitude. The elaborated levels of pro-environmental awareness growth have been summarised in a chronological grasp, which constituted the subject of the research with reference to the subject matter of the paper defined in its title. The author has also justified the selection of the research subject – micro and small enterprises, which are a source of surface contamination (local one), but not always perceived as beneficiaries of the natural environment.With reference to the adopted subject of the research the author has made an attempt to evaluate the pro-environmental awareness of the purposefully selected population of micro and small enterprises. Maturity level of their pro-environmental awareness has also been evaluated according to the adopted scale described and explained in the theoretical part of the paper, which is a narrow part of the conducted research and an attempt to answer the question: What is the maturity level of pro-environmental awareness in micro and small enterprises and is it reflected in their green activity in the conducted business activity?

Basically a natural partnership will achieve its goal if mutual requirements, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit can be maintained and made a strong fundamental commitment among partners. Nevertheless the development seems very slow. The cause is the presence of specific and different conditions and structure factors compared to other countries. Along with that, we still encounter various forms of gaps, such as inequality among regions, among income groups, between sectors, among economic actors, and so forth. The next problem is that in business entities including cooperatives and micro and small enterprises in running their business activities requires business partnerships with medium and large enterprises in order to improve business performance and business scale. While on the other hand our economic conditions and structures are not yet fully conducive to fostering partnerships based on purely business considerations or competitive market motivations but the business partnership of the foundation is strong enough in our country's constitution. Partnerships will work if partners are equally benefiting. Our concept of partnership is like that, although in the short term, there is a party or a party benefiting more from the other side.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the influence of digital transformation on business entities. Although it is becoming more feasible to invest in digital technologies due to their swift progression in terms of reaching higher technical capabilities and better pricing levels, some companies could not achieve expected improvements in their business results. On the contrary, a remarkable number of companies had the opportunity to develop their businesses by leaps and bounds. Academic research on the subject revealed that a company's digital maturity level is directly related to the company's success and progress in sustainability issues. In this chapter, the concepts of cross-functional collaboration and corporate digital cultures, which are the basic components of achieving digital maturity, which must be coordinated together, are elaborated, and an applicable roadmap proposal is created.

This paper proposes the definition of a goal programming model for the selection of artifacts to be developed during a testing process, so that the set of selected artifacts is more viable to the reality of micro and small enterprises. This model was based on the IEEE Standard 829, which establishes a set of artifacts that must be generated throughout the test activities. Several factors can influence the definition of this set of artifacts. Therefore, in order to consider such factors, we developed a multicriteria model that helps in determining the priority of artifacts according to the reality of micro and small enterprises.

This article aims to find out how micro and small enterprises on a less developed regional business ecosystem perceive and implement some of the fundamental dimensions of business strategy. We analyze 16 critical strategic concepts and construct a strategy perception and implementation index consisting of 16 corresponding queries. We then present the findings of field research conducted in micro and small enterprises in the service sector of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region in Greece. The results of the strategy perception an implementation index suggest that the “physiologies” of these firms are adjacent to each other and, as expected, these firms record similar scores and share common attributes. These results also point to an explicit—although not strong—tendency of these firms to transform their strategic perception and implementation into more systematic methodologies that seem to approach the benchmark set by the relevant literature. However, a long distance still exists between the actual perception and implementation of these firms and the standards set by the corresponding literature on the subject.

The article considers the theoretical aspects of evaluating the effectiveness of financial levers. The subject of the research is the approaches to the formation of financial levers groups and determining their impact on the economic entities activities in special (free) economic zones. The purpose of the article is to highlight the approaches to assessing the effectiveness of financial levers action. The research methodology is general scientific and special methods. The article determines the main approaches to the selection of indicators for assessing of business entities activities, taking into account the specifics of their functioning in special (free) economic zones. It is noted that today an analysis of the effectiveness of financial levers is not carried out on a regular basis, various indicators are used, and there is no systematic approach. Financial levers are an integral part of the financial mechanism and they operate in conjunction with its other elements. Therefore, the evaluation of the effectiveness of financial leverage using should be carried out taking into account the purpose of their use and the period of obtaining the expected results. Generalization of approaches to the analysis of the effectiveness of financial levers made it possible to propose to evaluate their action on the following grounds: in accordance with the sphere of manifestation of efficiency – economic, social, budgetary and environmental; in accordance with the period of obtaining the expected results – efficiency in the short, medium and long term; in accordance with the level of manifestation – efficiency at the national, regional, sectoral levels, the level of enterprises and individual specially selected territories. In accordance with the proposed system of indicators, calculations were carried out, which showed an ambiguous result of the influence of financial levers on the business entities activities. The conducted research and existing positive foreign experience made it possible propose to develop a concept for the special zones creation with a balanced system of financial levers.
