A fenntarthatóság kérdésköre napjainkban egyre inkább a figyelem középpontjába kerül. Egyes szerzők egyenesen a következő, a minőségi és az információs forradalomhoz hasonló megatrendnek tartják a fenntarthatóságot (Lubin – Esty, 2010). A tanulmány célja megvizsgálni, mennyiben érvényesül ez a megatrend Magyarországon: mennyiben kezelik stratégiai, versenyképességi kérdésként a magyar vállalatok a környezetvédelmet és a fenntarthatóságot? A szerző tanulmányában bemutatja a fenntartható fejlődés vállalati vonatkozásait, majd megvizsgálja, mennyiben jelennek meg a hazai vállalatok stratégiájában és gyakorlatában a fenntarthatóság aspektusai. Az elemzéshez a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem Versenyképesség Kutató Központjában 2009-ben lebonyolított kérdőíves felmérés adatait használta fel. _______ Sustainability has been receiving an ever increasing attention in recent years. Some authors even cite sustainability as the next megatrend after quality and IT revolutions (Lubin–Esty, 2010). This paper aims to examine to what extent this megatrend prevails in Hungary: do Hungarian companies treat environmental protection and sustainability as a strategic element of competitiveness? The paper studies the concept of corporate sustainability, then examines the presence of the three aspects of sustainability in the strategy and practice of Hungarian firms. The analysis is based on the results of a survey on competitiveness carried out by the Competitiveness Research Centre of Corvinus University of Budapest in 2009.
What Determines the Innovativeness of Polish Family Firms? Empirical Results and Theoretical Puzzles
Resumo:
This article will review and synthesize the existing research on the innovativeness of Polish family firms in order to separate universal factors that influence the degree of innovativeness of firms from the factors which distinctively influence the innovativeness of family firms. To better assess the innovation propensity of family firms the author will work out the typology by combining the variety of innovations with particular features of family firms and the industrial context. A more nuanced approach will help to understand why the academic literature is inconclusive with regards to the question of whether family firms are anti-innovative (as some authors claim), pro-innovative or ambivalent with regard to innovations. In particular it will be argued that when assessing family firms’ innovativeness special attention needs to be paid to the impact of the management of intergenerational change on the propensity to innovate, as this process relates to the capacity for investments into innovativeness and the time horizon of the owner’s decisions.
