Evidence shows that sustainability not only helps a business case getting stronger, but also embraces a sustainability agenda which can stimulate innovation, pushing companies to rethink their operations, products and business models. In addition, during the past few years the demand for organic wine has increased and many Greek businesses have entered the market, advertising the superiority of organic wine. The main objective of this study is to portray the need for an implementation of new technologies in the distribution and supply of organic wine in the city of Xanthi. Furthermore, the investigation of consumers' attitude will constitute the basis for further development of business strategies regarding sustainability and innovation in the agri-food chain. From the quantitative and qualitative data, the statistical analysis will provide findings on consumer behavior, attitudes, new trends, and factors that affect the choice of organic wine. Finally, the current paper is indicative of the general consumer stance towards organic-products.

In search of sustainable business models, product innovation must fulfil a double objective: the new product must have a higher (market) value, and at the same time a lower eco-burden. To achieve this objective, it is an imperative that the value, the total costs of ownership, and the eco-burden of a product are analysed at the beginning of the design process (idea generation and concept development). The design approach that supports such a design objective, is called Eco-efficient Value Creation (EVC). This approach is characterised by a two-dimensional representation: the eco-burden at the y-axis and the costs or the value at the x-axis. The value is either the Willingness to Pay or the market price. The eco-burden is expressed in eco-costs, a monetised single indicator in LCA (Life Cycle Assessment): an app for IOS and Android, and excel look-up tables at the internet, enable quick assessment of eco-costs. A practical example is given: the design of a new concept of domestic street lighting system for the city of Rotterdam. This new concept results in a considerable reduction of carbon footprint and eco-costs, and shows the benefits for the municipality and for the residents, resulting in a viable business case.

Abstract Technology-oriented startups are valued participants of the economy in the 21st century. By inventing and bringing new technologies to the market, this sector supports not only the growth of competitiveness in the corporate sector but that of the standard of living as well. These companies reinterpret the meaning of enterprise by building new functional business strategies, collaborations and business models. As of changing production sequences, conditions of business activity will change together. In the near future, not only the activity of organisations but of technology and business platforms, networks shall be controlled and developed along the value production chain. As attitude to customers will undergo serious changes, the meaning of team working will also be reinterpreted. The carrier of changes will be the Industry 4.0 framework. Due to this, information technology will not exclusively support business but establish new business value by utilizing companies’ tools and resources. The aim of this paper is to present by a recent survey the attitude of Hungarian technology-oriented startups to the changing business environment in the era of Industry 4.0 which can already be observed in many sectors. The author of this paper believes that technology-oriented startups may take serious role in Europe to fight against low wage countries in the world.

Мақалада тежеуші факторларды ескере отырып, жеңіл өнеркәсіптің отандық нарығын дамытудың басым бағыттары қарастырылған. Елдің экономикалық және стратегиялық қауіпсіздігі негізінде жеңіл өнеркәсіптің дамуын зерттеген ғалымдардың еңбектеріне басты назар аударылған.Статистикалық деректерді талдау барысында жеңіл өнеркәсіп құрылымындағы ең үлкен үлес салмақты тоқыма саласының өнімдері алып отырғаны, ал киім өндірісі соңғы жылдары өз орнын жоғалтқаны анықталды. Жеңіл өнеркәсіп кәсіпорындары Қазақстан Республикасының барлық өңірлерінде орналасқан, өйткені олар көптеген сабақтас салалармен байланысты және бүкіл халық шаруашылығы кешеніне қызмет көрсетеді.Авторлардың пікірінше, жеңіл өнеркәсіп нарығында саланы дамытудың негізгі жүйелі мәселелері бар: жеңіл өнеркәсіптің технологиялық артта қалуы; ішкі нарықтағы отандық тауарлардың бәсекеге қабілеттілігінің төмендігі; электрондық сауда нарығының дамымауы; импорттық шикізатқа тәуелділік; саланың инновациялық қызметінің төмен деңгейі; тауарлар сапасының сатып алушылардың қажеттіліктеріне сәйкес келмеуі.Мақала авторлары Қазақстан Республикасының жеңіл өнеркәсіп нарығын одан әрі дамыту бойынша нақты ұсыныстар берген: жаңа технологиялар мен инновацияларға ақша салу; тауарларды жылжыту және тұтынушылардың қалауын анықтау үшін әлеуметтік желілерді пайдалану; тауарларды өткізу үшін электрондық бизнес модельдерін қолдану. The article considers the priority directions of development of the domestic light industry market, taking into account the constraints. The main attention is paid to the works of scientists who consider the development of light industry in the context of economic and strategic security of the country. The analysis of statistical data revealed that the largest share in the structure of light industry is occupied by textile products and clothing production has lost its position in recent years. Light industry enterprises are located in all regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as they are connected with many related industries and serve the entire national economic complex. According to the authors, the light industry market has the main systemic problems in the development of the industry: technological backwardness of light industry; weak competitiveness of domestic goods in the domestic market; underdevelopment of the e-Commerce market; dependence on imported raw materials; low level of innovation in the industry; discrepancy in the quality of goods to the needs of customers. The authors of the article give specific recommendations for the further development of the light industry market of the Republic of Kazakhstan: to invest money in new technologies and innovations; to use social networks to promote products and find out consumer preferences of buyers; to apply e-business models for the sale of goods.

The main principle of the strategy for the complex improvement of the functioning of northern cities in winter, including their infrastructure development, is a comprehensive solution of the problem of industrial-scale snow-mass collection, removal and utilization at different areas of urban roadway networks. For its implementation in the capital of Russia, “MosvodokanalNIIproject” JSC developed in 2002 the Snow Removal Master Plan for the city of Moscow. The meteorological conditions in the city, which have changed considerably in the recent years, including the changes in the snow-cover depth and in the road-surface areas to be cleaned, as well as emerging of new technologies for the cleaning of urban streets, yards and sidewalks and some new types of deicing agents, resulted in the necessity to update the above-mentioned Snow Removal Master Plan developed for the city of Moscow. Efficient application of deicing agents is of special importance for its updating in the context of the environmental safety of the city in a winter period. The article considers the results of the implementation of the updated Snow Removal Master Plan and contains some proposals concerning snow removal under the conditions of extreme snowfalls.

The article represents a retrospective review of long time research of genesis and development of the Central beach in the City of Varna which makes possible a forecast of its further development. Both natural and anthropogenic impact on the beach evolution is taken into consideration. It is ascertained that construction of coastal protection structures at the northern part of the beach in 80’s resulted in cessation of natural beach area growth. The strengthen of a breakwater in the main port and illegal building also contributed to considerable coast recession and beach volume reducing. Because of this a recreational potential of the Central beach is gradually decreasing. New method named “cross-shore sediment bypassing” is suggested to reduce the negative trend.
