scholarly journals DIGITALIZATION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY

The article considers a number of issues related to the concept of digitalization of entrepreneurial activity, its content, advantages and disadvantages, problems of its perception and implementation in domestic enterprises. The analysis is based on the premise that digitalization, covering all areas of the economy and business, contributes to the establishment of internal and external relations and, ultimately, to increase company productivity and business efficiency. Based on a comparative analysis of the definitions of digitalization, the following interpretation of this term is proposed: “digitalization of entrepreneurship” is a process of business transformation that involves the use of digital technologies to optimize business processes, increase company productivity and improve customer experience. Successful implementation of digitalization requires a proper understanding of these processes by the management of the enterprise. Rapid changes in the external environment in the context of globalization are forcing us to adapt to new digital innovations. Business owners should understand that in order to be competitive in today's environment it is necessary to implement new approaches to doing business and develop new products using digital channels of the enterprise. Digitalization helps to generate new business ideas, increases creativity and innovative approaches to their activities. A component of the digitalization process is to meet the needs of retailers who are constantly changing and interacting with new technologies, seeking to quickly and comfortably meet their own needs. The advantages and disadvantages of digitalization are generalized and grouped. It is noted that the benefits are not guaranteed, and in case of failure may not appear. The key role is played by the qualification of staff: the availability of highly qualified personnel is a necessary condition for successful digitalization, so the appropriate staffing is one of the difficulties faced by the company in the implementation of digitalization processes. Digitalization of entrepreneurship is an innovative creative process, so there can be no standard instructions for its implementation. However, it can be argued that the key to its successful implementation is corporate culture and innovation in activities at all levels of the enterprise in order to implement operational changes. The digitalization of the enterprise will promote the development of new types of business activities, the formation of a new quality of economic relations, the disclosure of intellectual and creative potential of all employees. This is especially important to increase the competitiveness of the enterprise.

In this paper, with a view to the high levels of absence due to sickness and presenteeism, it is explored how management and team leadership can be integrated on a more sustained basis in health prevention. Private sector enterprises on one hand, and organisations in the public sector, on the other, pursue and prioritise in this aspect different approaches, which are traceable to their different traditions. Specifically in Germany in the public sector, the principle of due care has had a long tradition that grows out of social responsibility, which contrasts with the perspective of commercial enterprises that emphasises the economic aspect. The study undertakes to determine the particular strengths of each of the sectors and to demonstrate their different approaches. The examination refers in its methodology to qualitative social research. In the systemically structured survey design, Seventy six experts were approached with questions concerning different aspects such as corporate culture, business processes, organisational integration, qualification, risk assessments, and concrete actions in health prevention. Complementary to the expert survey, documents such as corporate guidelines and policies, management tools, results from risk assessments and employee surveys or quality offensives were referred to. This analysis supplied insights on how the declared health prevention policies in an organisation can be effectively implemented at the strategic and operational level in corporate culture and leadership culture with a long-term continuity, and which organisational prerequisites in the corporate hierarchy and corporate decision making and business processes may reinforce and sustain successful implementation of health prevention. Of particular importance in the process is operative management. For the sake of effective team involvement in own and team-specific health prevention, an eight-stage team feedback was devised, which includes elements of self-reflection and perception by others in an iteratively structured process.
