In the present competitive business environment, designers and engineers need to come up with creative, innovative and valuable design ideas. In engineering design, the function (F), behavior (B) and structure (S) of a product are discussed using design theory and methodology. On the other hand, the concept of user experience (UX) is becoming important in product design. In this paper, we first discuss the relationship among F, B, S, UX and the value of a product. Then we propose a delta design map as a framework for a systematic method and computational tool for design ideation support. A delta design map does not describe F, B, S and UX for design examples but describes their differences (delta) between design examples. This approach makes the descriptions efficient and gives clear criteria on what needs to be described and what need not be described. By preparing a delta design map, we can systematically and exhaustively analyze the potential similarity among all design examples from the viewpoint of F, B, S and UX and obtain triggers for ideation. The results of a simple trial of the proposed method are presented and discussed in this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of corporate risk management practices in Romanian companies, by investigating the risk management approaches Romanian companies take. Our main findings are that Romanian managers are not aware of the magnitude of exposure their companies have to various types of risk – hazard, operational, financial and strategic risks, while they are able to manage rather well all these risks, even the ones that have the lowest impact on the business. At the same time, risk management systems employed by Romanian companies are rather inarticulate and based on traditional approaches towards risk management, which might represent by itself a major source of risk, given the complexity of the business environment they face.

SummaryThe article is preconceptual in its nature, as it is an introduction to a planned research project in the area of pedagogy and law. The author describes the research in current trends in modern childhood studies, choosing the protection of children’s rights in the event of their parents’ separation as the basic research category. This category will be analyzed in ontological, epistemological and methodological dimensions. In view of the growing scale of family breakdowns, it becomes justified to ask a question about the way of experiencing, understanding and constructing knowledge about the subject of pedagogical and legal interactions – the child themself. Building knowledge about a child whose parents separate is not only intended to expand and build interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge, but also to provide a basis for designing adequate tools and activities to protect the rights of a child experiencing their parents’ separation. This article provides an outline of a research concept aimed at protecting children’s rights. The article contains extensive justifications for the research topic and the framework of the methodological concept.

The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological principles of forming a methodological platform for diagnosing the economic activity of a trading enterprise as a basis for implementing a diagnostic process focused on the formation of special information used for making management decisions. It is noted that the diagnostics of economic activity of a trade enterprise as a component of management is a set of actions aimed at providing information support to management that requires from management staff systemic theoretical knowledge and applied skills of instrumental methods of identifying economic activity, trends, assessing causes of change, forecasting and the practical implementation of the identified opportunities to increase it, taking into account changes in the business environment and the needs of stakeholders. It is proved that the efficiency of diagnostics of economic activity is ensured by the appropriate methodology, which normalizes the organization of the diagnostic process, procedures and operations into a holistic system with clearly defined prerequisites, component composition and process of their implementation. The methodology framework is determined and the problem tree analysis of the formation of the methodological platform for diagnosing economic activity of trade enterprises is carried out. The architectural structure of the system of diagnosing economic activity of a trade enterprise through a combination of functional and support components, which are defining for productive functioning of the mechanism and efficiency of the diagnostic process, is considered. The sequence of stages of the diagnostic process and procedural aspects of verification of each of them is determined. It is proved that the efficiency of the process of diagnostics of economic activity is provided by an appropriate mechanism, which through a set of rules, special tools, methods and techniques launches and maintains a diagnostic study, thus ensuring the integrity of the diagnostic system. A conceptual model of the methodological platform for diagnosing economic activity of trade enterprises is developed, which integrates the identified preconditions and component composition of the methodology on the basis of systematicity and ensures the effectiveness of the process of obtaining information for management. The developed model allows to deepen and expand understanding of the essence of the system for diagnosing economic activity of the enterprise, its structure, regularities, the purposes and tasks of functioning, to provide high-quality instrumental support of the realization of diagnostic procedures and operations, to streamline the process of reception of the information for making management decisions focused on achieving target parameters of development of economic activity taking into account the dynamic changes in the business environment and consumer preferences.

Digital marketing is one of the modern concepts of promoting products / services and positioning the company's brand with the help of any available digital technology. The development of digital technologies, software, the latest means of communication and communication channels allows digital marketing to reach the consciousness of the consumer as effectively as possible. A large number of types of digital marketing is formed depending on the tools and channels of digital marketing. Communications play a special role in digital marketing, taking into account not only the means of their implementation, but also the quality of their reproduction, as well as the nature of the focus of the information flow. For digital marketing, it is important to form a feedback channel and obtain relevant information on the basis of which analytical data sets can be formed. The main advantage of digital marketing is a personalized approach to each individual consumer by actively studying his preferences through the formation of an array of data that contains information on customer searches. The formation of an advertising campaign in digital marketing is carried out on the basis of the results of the analysis and in accordance with the main strategic goals of the company. At the same time, the effect of reducing the company's strategic gaps with its main competitors is achieved during the process of the development of the strategy. Based on the fact that modern consumers actively use Internet technologies to purchase the necessary products and services, as well as taking into account a feature of trucking as a service, that is, the impossibility of separating its production from consumption, is virtually bypassing the marketing stage, the expediency of the use of digital marketing was noted in the study. As a result of the study, taking into account all the characteristics of digital marketing and its benefits and conditions of use, several optimal options for the use of digital marketing for trucking companies, whose products are the process of transportation, were determined.

<p class="AbstractText">The aim of this paper is to identify the role of institutions in creating a prosperous business environment for attraction of the Foreign Direct Investments. This research is based on the statement that efficient markets depend on supporting institutions that can provide the formal and informal rules of the game of a market economy, allowing a lower transaction and information costs and reducing uncertainty. Moreover, it has to be stated that the legal and governmental arrangements as well as informal institutions underpinning an economy influence corporate strategies, thus profoundly influence the operation and performance of businesses. The methodology in this paper consists of comparing statistical data for the Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, FYROM and Slovenia). The general conclusion drawn in this paper is that Western businesses entering countries with lower degree of institutional development face higher transaction costs such as bribery than in countries with higher degree of institutional development. Hence, the institutions play significant role in the process of one country’s attempt to attract Foreign Direct Investment.</p>

The structure of the business environment, as part of the socio-economic situation, indirectly affects a citizen’s quality of life. A “friendly” business environment has a positive effect on job formation, thus helping with employment. A country encourages formation and development of large enterprises through various incentives that reduce regional disparities, especially in less-developed regions. Nevertheless, a huge majority of enterprises in the European Union are small- and medium-sized. Self-employed persons are considered a specific form of business. Their activity is strongly influenced by state policy. This paper analyzes the business environment in regions of the Slovak Republic. Its principal aim is to examine the development of regional disparities and the related quality of citizens’ lives. An evaluation of statistical data of the structure of the business environment in the Slovak Republic indicated a change in legal units in relation to business. Although the number of legal units are stable, the number of legal persons has increased and that of natural persons-entrepreneurs decreased. Deepening of regional disparities was not observed across regions of the Slovak Republic.
