The article aims to identify modern technological solutions in the field of automation and robotization of business processes that change the way hotel enterprises operate in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the research problem was expressed in the form of a question: what tools favor the dynamic digital transformation of hotel functioning models and the implementation of the paradigm of intelligent and autonomous entities operating in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel market? During the empirical research, the use and implementation of new solutions in the field of innovative technologies supporting the optimization of processes taking place in hotel enterprises were considered. In addition, technologies and tools were identified that are considered strategic from the perspective of implementing the concept of an autonomous hotel carried out under the influence of the crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the specific purpose of the article, a survey was conducted using the questionnaire method with the Computer Assisted Web Interview technique alongside a self-developed questionnaire. The survey was carried out in June-September 2021 among 462 representatives of hotel companies operating in the three-, four- and five-star standards. The results of the diagnostic survey were statistically analyzed using the Statistica and RStudio software packages. To interpret the obtained data, the descriptive method, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis were used. As a result of the conducted research, it was noticed that the COVID-19 pandemic obligated hotels to automate processes that made it possible to connect devices within digital ecosystems and to optimize processes inside vertical and horizontal value chains. Such activities enabled the creation of a new model of hotel functioning referred to as an autonomous enterprise. Nowadays, one of the most important strategic behaviors of hotel entities is the ability to quickly counteract crises resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the related choice of the right course of action, as well as the ability to immediately make the right decisions. The research results may motivate the implementation of new technologies in the area of transforming and developing digital business models by hotels. The issues presented in the article are an attempt to fill the gap by pointing out practical experiences related to the use of individual technological solutions and their effectiveness in process automation and implementation of autonomous models of functioning of entities in the hotel services sector.

Digital Management

To date, digital technologies and their widespread practice have formed the potential for completely new business models. However, most organizations are either in the early stages of the digital transformation process, or do not yet dare to form a digital business model that will provide real benefits from digital technologies. In any case, taking into account the enormous pace of global digitalization, it is extremely important to adapt the best practices of digital transformation to the improvement of the Ukrainian economy as soon as possible. Based on this, consider the process of researching new and adapting existing management models. Digital transformation – the introduction of modern technologies to radically change the business models of enterprise management today is considered the most important topic for organizations around the world. The requirements of the new digital economy represent the digital transformation as a conscious strategic process of business modification through adaptive management and implementation of digital technologies, ie the restructuring of existing business models. The same happens at industrial and agro-industrial enterprises, the analog period of which is coming to an end. Industries are entering the digital age, thanks to which enterprises are developing in accordance with the new focus. For this reason, it is very important for the formation of digital models of enterprise management to strategically understand the possibilities of digital technology development in their connection with business processes and business models. The analysis of the main traditional models of effective management of enterprises was carried out and their fundamental differences from the Ukrainian approach to management were revealed, the possibilities of implementation of the principles of existing business models by Ukrainian enterprises were considered. In addition, a roadmap for the transition from a traditional to a digital enterprise was proposed for consideration. The process of modeling the digital management system of the enterprise is revealed. Currently, a prerequisite for the prosperity of the economy of industry and agriculture and, consequently, the economy of Ukraine, is adaptive digital management as a basis for economic security of the enterprise. It was found that the relentless introduction of digital technologies, «copying best practices» can later be in reality as dangerous as the refusal to master new technologies. Therefore, choosing the direction of your own digitization, you must first study everything thoroughly, so as not to miss the moment and not to remain in the ranks of the latter or in the past.

The monetized catalyst and impetus for the adoption of Green ICT by business are explored in this paper. For a business to significantly reduce its environmental footprint through the use of Green ICT, a strategic transformation of business is required. Such a transformation includes changes to business models, a redefinition of business processes, a realignment of information exchange, and integration of unified communication. Without the right impetuses and catalysts, a strategic transformation of a business may take a long time or, at worst, may not occur because of incumbency, cost, and risk. Like other strategic changes, the implementation of Green ICT is likely to be achieved through a series of tactical changes aligned to an overall strategy. However, such an incremental tactical approach requires consistency and persistency in taking advantage of many small business opportunities to implement Green ICT. Such an adoption of Green ICT is only likely to occur because of the business benefits achieved. Any catalyst and impetus for the adoption of Green ICT must provide tangible (monetized) benefits to a business, as well as prevent adverse outcomes.

Internet Service

The way of life has changed with the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT) in every one’s day to day activities and the business. As ICT technologies are constantly evolving, many people attribute the success of enterprises to the ways they deploy and take advantage of new technologies, not only to make their operations more efficient but most importantly to refine and adopt new effective and adaptive business models. Since the advent of the Internet and the very first Internet service providers (ISP) in operation, the traditional ISP market has been in constant evolution due to the gradual globalisation and commoditisation of ISP services. Deregulation and ICT policies have fostered competition (e.g., unbundling of the local loop and so forth) as well. The Internet is as an important channel of interaction inside and/or outside enterprises. The essence of the Internet is conducting business and running of business processes over data communication networks based on nonproprietary standards (Porter, 2001). The World Wide Web as a portal represents a major electronic business (e-business) platform accessed through communication channels provisioned by network and service providers (such as ISDN, DSL, WLAN, UMTS, etc.). There are many challenging aspects of the e-Business that must be considered for a sustainable business of an ISP (Petrie et al., 2004).

The Relationship

Abstract—The pandemic situation encourages every business, including small and medium scale, to transform towards an online business. This is done to be able to continue to reach customers and carry out existing business processes well. However, with the reduction or disappearance of face-to-face meetings, the quality of the relationship decreases both on the customer and business partner side. This research focuses on the relationship with business partners, where the exchange of information and data is not optimal in this section, and even errors can occur. Many studies have tried to optimize relationship management with business partners, but none have focused on small and medium-sized businesses during this pandemic. SME's need to manage their business relationships. However, according to research that has been done, many of these business models do not realize the importance of this, and only focus on selling.. This research aims to design PRM architecture designs for small and medium-scale enterprises in this pandemic era. This research resulted in an e-marketplace design that implements PRM for SMEs by applying a recommendation system for distributors to provide the right product to each reseller. Through the results of initial trials conducted by users, both from distributors and resellers, it is easier to understand each other's needs with this e-marketplace. Keywords: SMEs, PRM, channel management, recommendation system, pandemic   Abstrak—Situasi pandemi mendorong setiap bisnis, termasuk skala kecil dan menengah, untuk bertransformasi menuju bisnis online. Hal ini dilakukan untuk dapat terus menjangkau pelanggan dan menjalankan proses bisnis yang ada dengan baik. Namun, dengan berkurangnya atau hilangnya pertemuan tatap muka, kualitas hubungan menurun baik di sisi pelanggan maupun mitra bisnis. Penelitian ini berfokus pada hubungan dengan mitra bisnis, dimana pertukaran informasi dan data tidak optimal pada bagian ini, bahkan kesalahan dapat terjadi. Banyak penelitian telah mencoba mengoptimalkan manajemen hubungan dengan mitra bisnis, tetapi tidak ada yang fokus pada usaha kecil dan menengah selama pandemi ini. Padahal sebenarnya SME pun sangat perlu mengelola relasi bisnisnya. Namun menurut riset yang pernah dilakukan, bisnis model ini banyak yang belum menyadari pentingnya hal tersebut, dan hanya fokus pada menjual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang desain arsitektur PRM untuk usaha kecil dan menengah di era pandemi ini. Penelitian ini menghasilkan desain e-marketplace yang mengimplementasikan PRM untuk UKM dengan menerapkan sistem rekomendasi bagi distributor untuk menyediakan produk yang tepat untuk setiap reseller. Melalui hasil uji coba awal yang dilakukan oleh pengguna, baik dari pihak distributor maupun reseller menjadi dimudahkan untuk lebih saling memahami kebutuhan masing-masing dengan adanya e-marketplace ini.

Purpose ”“ Approach and analyze the technological industries in society, as a global society, and how it is approached from the legal point of view. This study aims to make an analysis of the social context and technological progress and determine what main legal problems arise. There is also the purpose of investigating what impact new technologies have had in the audiovisual industry globally, taking into account the emergence of new digital business models, in order to determine their legal nature. Methodology ”“ The methodology used is mainly based on the analysis of the different Laws that regulate the digital market. The approach has been directed at European claims to respond to new digital models and discover if the result has had an effective application on citizens. Findings ”“ The study sets out as objectives achieved cross-border access of audiovisual platforms in the European territorial area. Objective met in a positive way but still with many inconveniences. It is noted a clear advantage for users, but with universal challenges, such as the exploitation of audiovisual content within the Right to information. Practical Implications ”“ If the laws were more current, companies and technological industries could give a more effective response to society, while creating wealth. It also shows the comparison between a European system, more protectionist towards the user, for example, with the protection of personal data, with respect to the Latin American system law. These differences impact economically differently in each country. Originality ”“ The study detects the most fragile points, the current conflicts of the digital platforms and shows the lines to follow through public policies.

Wireless networks are now a part of the everyday life of many people and are used for many applications. Recently, new technologies that enable low-power and long-range communications have emerged. These technologies, in opposition to more traditional communication technologies rather defined as "short range", allow kilometer-wide wireless communications. Long-range technologies are used to form Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN). Many LPWAN technologies are available, and they offer different performances, business models etc., answering different applications’ needs. This makes it hard to find the right tool for a specific use case. In this article, we present a survey about the long-range technologies available presently as well as the technical characteristics they offer. Then we propose a discussion about the energy consumption of each alternative and which one may be most adapted depending on the use case requirements and expectations, as well as guidelines to choose the best suited technology.

Hence its programming information, understood as the primary management tool, requires a specific approach. This article (on the nature of the study) discusses the challenges of research by referring to selected participating (action research) carried out in the course of the implementation of information technology (IT) projects at the Warsaw University of Technology in the years 2013–15. Computerization of university is a complex, ongoing process, which depends on many factors, limited all kinds of regulations that requires making the right decision at every stage. The introduction of standardized and business processes is expensive and associated with organizational changes. However, it brings benefits in terms of new technologies, reduce operating costs and increase flexibility to respond to changing external conditions. Informatics is a dynamic process, that usually lasts as long as the organization works and develops. Organization and her environment are changing, it requires to adapt hardware and software solutions [2].

The article researches the impact of the digitalization and digital transformation process on the construction of functional management systems of modern enterprises. The article materials consider new information opportunities for business models building and business processes organization. Approaches to the improvement of operational processes and their optimization are substantiated. The evidence is given that the possible way to implement digitalization in certain areas may be: the concept (strategy), staff training and education, the new technologies implementation. It is defined that the implementation of the digital transformation of the business model can take place in stages at the level of its individual elements or components. It is supposed reasonable to use a system-oriented approach to management, which is based on understanding the object of management as a whole, the need for internal and external communication links, i.e., a set of related management methods and tools in the enterprise and its structural units. System-oriented management of the digitalization process in the article is considered to involve the business processes transformation. Such processes should be based on perfect digital strategy planning. Important components are the feasibility assessment of practical digital initiatives implementation, monitoring of promising areas of action, forecasting the expected effect of digitalization and comparison of innovative initiatives. The application of a systematic approach to the management of the digitalization process is justified at certain stages, which will allow in a certain sequence and order to get the maximum effect and ensure the achievement of goals and acceptable results. The main stages of system-oriented management of the business processes digitalization process are offered, as well as the main groups of factors of influence (external and internal) on the digitalization implementation process are determined.
