{"title":"From cleaner production to green competitive advantage: evidence from Egypt","authors":"Shereen Aly Hussien Aly Abdou","doi":"10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(5)","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(5)","url":null,"abstract":". The study investigates the green competitive advantage in the Egyptian business environment. A qualitative analysis used primary data from the first quarter of 2023. It allowed us to answer the questions that tackle the motives of cleaner production, the reflection of cleaner output on the green brand image, and estimate the impact of the green brand image on the competitive advantage. The study found a mediating role of a green brand image between cleaner production and green competitive advantage. In addition, the significant motives for cleaner production at Egyptian companies were regulatory rules, consumer pressures, and green creativity. Finally, a green brand image substantially reinforces the green competitive advantage of Egyptian companies. The results may be instrumental for companies seeking a faster transition towards green competitive advantage.","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277667","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}

{"title":"Factors impacting health personnel migration in Slovakia: role of remuneration","authors":"Tatiana Masárová, Marcel Kordoš","doi":"10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(2)","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(2)","url":null,"abstract":". Migration is influenced by many macro (environmental, social, economic, political) and micro (personal characteristics) factors that lead to cross-border movements. Currently, we consider the topic of personnel management in hospitals in Slovakia to be extremely crucial, as it is related to the announced reform efforts that may affect the emigration sentiment of health care workers. The main goal of the paper is to compare the attitudes of doctors and nurses on remuneration before and after the Covid -19 pandemic outbreak in Slovak hospitals and to identify emigration sentiments. As principal methods the base index, chain index and rate of increment have been used to calculate the wages. Next, we used basic statistical methods (sum - \"n\", proportion - \"%\") in the study. Student's t - test was also used in the study. Work remuneration was one of the worst rated conditions. The results of the analyses have shown that work remuneration got worse from the point of view of medical staff - the difference before and during the pandemic was 0.2. The pay-for-work scores showed higher average score within the health personnel group with less than 5 years of experience. A Student's t-test was conducted and has confirmed a statistically significant difference in the assessment of conditions as reasons for going abroad. The outflow of healthcare professionals from Slovakia is due to more favorable working conditions and organization of work in other countries.","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277679","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}

Sports clubs and other sports organizations are important to modern society because their activities provide important values linked to sports. This article focuses on the passive consumption of sports as a leisure activity that brings fans joy, a sense of belonging, and other values associated with their favourite sport and club. For sports club managers to achieve sustainable operation associated with sufficient funds obtained from fans, they can apply various ways of involving the fans themselves in creating a loyal community and in selected managerial issues. The article’s aim is to describe the current level of knowledge in this area and follow it up with practical recommendations for the effective setting of the involvement of fans in selected processes. The applied methodology uses several methods, such as case studies, analysis of statistical data, storytelling","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277682","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}

{"title":"Innovation performance of EU countries in the context of research and development expenditures","authors":"Katarína Belanová, Peter Golha, Rudolf Sivák","doi":"10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(16)","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(16)","url":null,"abstract":". Innovations are essential to economic reality, mainly due to growing domestic, international or world competition. The contribution is focused on comparing the innovation performance of EU countries with an emphasis on Slovakia using the European Innovation Scoreboard and the Regional Innovation Scoreboard. The aim is to verify the dependence of the innovation performance of EU countries on research and development expenditure. According to the European Innovation Scoreboard 2023, the classification of Member States into performance groups remains unchanged compared to the previous year, still showing a geographical concentration. Performance gaps between Member States narrowed between 2016 and 2023. Slovakia belongs to countries with a relative performance below 70% of the European Union average, while its innovation performance is growing more slowly than in the EU. According to the Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2023, all regions of Slovakia belong to the emerging innovators of the upper third, except the Bratislava region, which is included in the group of moderate innovators of the upper third. All regions have increased their performance. An increase in research and development expenditures is required to improve the current situation in the innovation policy of the Slovak Republic. This conclusion is derived considering a significant interdependence between research and development expenditures and innovation performance was confirmed by regression analysis","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277683","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}

{"title":"Information technology for intellectual analysis of item descriptions in e-commerce","authors":"Olga Cherednichenko, Oksana Ivashchenko, Marcel Lincényi, Marián Kováč","doi":"10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(10)","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9770/jesi.2023.11.1(10)","url":null,"abstract":". E-commerce is experiencing a robust surge, propelled by the worldwide digital transformation and the mutual advantages accrued by both consumers and merchants. The integration of information technologies has markedly augmented the efficacy of digital enterprise, ushering in novel prospects and shaping innovative business paradigms. Nonetheless, adopting information technology is concomitant with risks, notably concerning safeguarding personal data. This substantiates the significance of research within the domain of artificial intelligence for e-commerce, with particular emphasis on the realm of recommender systems. This paper is dedicated to the discourse surrounding the construction of information technology tailored for processing textual descriptions pertaining to commodities within the e-commerce landscape. Through a qualitative analysis, we elucidate factors that mitigate the risks inherent in unauthorized data access. The cardinal insight discerned is that the apt utilization of product matching technologies empowers the formulation of recommendations devoid of entailing customers' personal data or vendors' proprietary information. A meticulously devised structural model of this information technology is proffered, delineating the principal functional components essential for processing textual data found within electronic trading platforms. Central to our exposition is the exploration of the product comparison predicated on textual depictions. The resolution of this challenge stands to enhance the efficiency of product searches and facilitate product juxtaposition and categorization. The prospective implementation of the propounded information technology, either in its entirety or through its constituent elements, augurs well for sellers, enabling them to improve a pricing strategy and heightened responsiveness to market sales trends. Concurrently, it streamlines the procurement journey for buyers by expediting the identification of requisite goods within the intricate milieu of e-commerce platforms.","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277666","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 main objective of the article was to find out what the situation is with Fairtrade products on the Czech and Slovak markets in relation to consumed primary raw materials and their Fairtrade epremium, and also the supply of these products in retail chains operating in the Czech Republic (including products that are marked with their private labels). To meet the first part of the objective, secondary data taken from the Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia annual reports involving the 2017 – 2021 period were used. These reports showed that the consumption of cocoa beans and coffee beans in the production of Fairtrade products was on an upward trend in the years under review. The opposite was true for cane sugar, which was also reflected in the evolution of the Fairtrade premium for this commodity. To meet the second part of the objective, a qualitative mystery shopping method was used. On the basis of this method it was found that Kaufland has the highest number of Fairtrade products among the retail chains operating in the Czech Republic, followed by Penny, while Albert supplies only one product. Another important fact was that most of the Fairtrade products provided by the retail units surveyed were sold under their private labels and yet not from well-known manufacturers. It is the increase in the number of Fairtrade products offered under private labels, based on negotiations with the producers of these products, which would ultimately lead to an increase in Fair trade premiums for growers' cooperatives","PeriodicalId":47127,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues","volume":" 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41253488","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}
