The literature review revealed that within the Open Innovation theories and its aspects, some elements were differently defined which showed a space for further exploration. The main aim of the paper is to synthesize knowledge about open innovation and to create a basic model of the open innovation environment in terms of influencing factors and to identify relevant actors, that may be part of this process. The primary method was a secondary survey aimed at the analyze of 24 definitions and integrating scientific definitions of open innovation, its factors, barriers and relevant players. By synthesizing this knowledge, we have developed a basic model of open innovation factors and identified relevant players in this process. This paper is part of the author's dissertation thesis, which aims to design and test an open innovation model in the service sector. The model will include all factors contained in this article. Further model could be used as an effective tool for implementing open innovation and evaluating its usefulness for theories and praxis as well.","PeriodicalId":30220,"journal":{"name":"Studia Commercialia Bratislavensia","volume":"13 1","pages":"160 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46172140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In circular economy it is important to involve design from the beginning of the product lifecycle, including product ideation and material selection. Involvement of consumers and users into circular economy is very important and enables change in purchase patterns and product utilization. The paper methodology consists of a profound literature review and analysis in area of circular economy, circular design and consumer or user influence on circularity. The goal of the paper is to provide insights into the consumer involvement into a circular economy and changes in users’ behavior. The research results in discussion of design strategies to slow down “resource loops”, to close “resource loops”, and to “narrow material flow” to enhance circular economy and business models, as well as consumer involvement in circular economy. We outline desired consumer and user behavior leading to circular economy.","PeriodicalId":30220,"journal":{"name":"Studia Commercialia Bratislavensia","volume":"13 1","pages":"25 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44114761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the main objective of this research was to reach the biodegradable plastics industry as alternatives to non-biodegradable plastics. And the existence of such biodegradable plastic must contribute in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases and keeps the environment clean, and reduces the cost for pollution from the accumulation of plastic waste. Algae was used as a raw material for the production of bio-plastics because of its unique properties such as it grows rapidly and in large quantities at a low cost and grows in a variety of water environments throughout the year, which means that there is no risk in the difficulty of securing the raw materials needed for the production of bio-plastics The study concluded that the tested samples partially decomposed in fresh and alkaline water during a period of 26 days, which means a high dependence on algae to the production of bio plastics as an environmentally friendly industry.","PeriodicalId":30220,"journal":{"name":"Studia Commercialia Bratislavensia","volume":"12 1","pages":"131 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46491995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Wealth of Nations was “aimed to influence British MPs [Members of Parliament] to support a peaceful resolution to the American colonies’ War of Independence”, A. Smith “urged legislators to awaken from the “golden dream” of empire and avoid “a long, expensive and ruinous war”“, and “rejection of the protectionist Corn Laws in favour of opening up to the world economy marked the start of an era of globalization which contributed to Britain’s prosperity”, as Yueh (2019, p. 16f) puts it. Over the years, industrialization brought about by the Industrial Revolution has been challenged by deindustrialization, globalization by deglobalization. So with the “Brexit issue” at stake, what has been the “Brexitologic of Competitiveness”?

Fast fashion has changed the way how consumers are dressed and think about fashion. Clothes became cheaper, and shopping became a form of entertainment.

Authors conclude that consumers’ purchases have a big impact on economics, because how we found out, fast fashion has a growing trend both in stores and in ecommerce. Form our survey it is evident that majority of consumers cannot link the high perceived quality of the clothing during shopping in fast fashion stores with achieved low level of durability during wearing. Increasing customer consumption can have a positive effect on economics, but also a negative impact on environment.","PeriodicalId":30220,"journal":{"name":"Studia Commercialia Bratislavensia","volume":"12 1","pages":"58 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42207114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the second part of this article, we presented the results of a structured interview with 4 managers which introduced on the Slovak market food and beverages packaging with folk motifs. The reason of application of folk motifs on packaging was that employees from this these companies are associated with folklore, patriotism and traditions. They honour the traditions of Slovak ancestors and Slovak country and are glad that the time has come when culture and traditions are preferred and supported.
