In order to quickly redefine and adapt a new strategy to the changing market conditions, it is necessary to implement new solutions and business models along with pivots. The enterprise of tomorrow is the one that starts today. So in order to be or become this enterprise of tomorrow, the level of its digitization and many of the processes carried out must be raised. The aim of the article is to present pivots and possible changes to the pivots of Innovative Business Models and their implementation. The research method that will be used is the analysis of case studies - how companies should recover from the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic, what they can do, how they should function, so that they can continue to grow faster. S. Umiński in Forum-Marketera + in the article Marketing A.D.2030 (Forum2021) stated that we took over from the world of start-ups the concept of pivot, i.e. a strategic shift and redefinition of the business model. It should be more and more often used in large corporations that so far pride themselves on using the -agile- methodology in various implementations. In this article, practical examples (case studies) of a Polish and foreign company will be presented - identification of redefining the strategy and implementation of pivots together with better results of further development of these companies. Examples of companies are Velg Group and Shopify, in which pivots were implemented, which emphasizes the practical approach of the co-author of the article. The research questions refer to what types of pivots and they are implemented, which will be presented based on the example of the above-mentioned case studies.","PeriodicalId":442029,"journal":{"name":"Central European Review of Economics & Finance","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127632585","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 practical implication of the study is to show that both before and in the first year of the pandemic, the relationship between public debt and research, and development activity in the V4 and EU-27 countries was strong, which justifies the in-depth monitoring and study of this relationship in subsequent years of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":442029,"journal":{"name":"Central European Review of Economics & Finance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131003221","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 aim of the article is to identify and assess factors that may support its further development (or at least the maintenance of its position) at the level of an online shop operating in Poland under the conditions of the economic downturn. The results of the analysis indicate that standard actions taken in favorable market conditions must be modified during a slowdown.

More specifically, they have relocated manufacturing activities either in their home country (back-shoring), in their home region (near-shoring), or in a further away location (further offshoring). While offshoring and relocations of the second degree have been heavily analysed in US and Western European countries, there is no evidence regarding companies in Central and Eastern Europe. This paper focuses on Polish companies belonging to the fashion and electromechanical meta-sectors. More specifically, it investigates the relocation of both manufacturing and supply activities. Based on 602 questionnaires collected during 2020-2021, it emerges that Polish companies rarely offshored their production activities in both the investigated industries. This is mainly explained by concerns in terms of reduced responsiveness, higher coordination and quality appraisal costs, and patriotism. Finally, some differences emerged in terms of geographical location between the two meta-sectors, inducing speculation that fashion companies were mainly boosted by efficiency-seeking aims, while electro-mechanical companies by market-seeking aims. Due to scant evidence of offshoring strategies, relocations of the second degree are very few. However, differences emerge between the two investigated meta-sectors. More specifically, when considering ?relocations of the second degree?, fashion companies preferred to back-shore, while electromechanical companies decided to relocate to a second host country.
