Changes in the financing of domestic research and development
153-161Views:272Nowadays, the fourth industrial revolution is taking place at an incredible speed, with innovation at its heart. Of this, R & D funding is of paramount importance, which is directly or indirectly one of the most important tools for increasing corporate competitiveness. The study examines trends in domestic R & D expenditures over the past one and a half decades. It focuses on the extent to which the financial crisis has affected the amount of funding resources and their structure. From an international comparison, Hungary and the European Union spend much less on research and development than those in the global competition. The impact of the crisis is reflected in the decline in the growth dynamics of R & D expenditures, but it has not been solved solely as a result of the crisis. Changes in the domestic structure of expenditures in recent years are encouraging and are in sync with the change in attitude that is considered desirable in R & D funding. If we examine the domestic statistical data more thoroughly, we can no longer be very satisfied. However, from trends in data from recent years, it becomes apparent that neither Hungary nor the European Union will achieve the 1.8 and 3.0 per cent of GDP R & D spending by 2020.

What Drives The Diffusion of AI Recruitment Systems in Swiss HRM? The Importance of Technological Expertise, Innovative Climate, Competitive Pressure, Employees’ Expectations and Contextual Factors
42-84Views:548This study examines organizational, environmental, and contextual factors influencing the diffusion of artificial intelligence recruitment systems in human resources management within Swiss organizations. Based on a survey provided to 324 private and public Swiss HR professionals, it explores how some technology-organization-environment theoretical framework predictors' as well as innovative climate provided by organizations influence the three stages – evaluation, adoption, and routinization – of diffusion of this innovation. To do this, the following article is based on a PLS-SEM structural equation model. Its main findings are that technological expertise, innovative climate, competitive pressure, and expectations regarding future use of the tool by organizations working in the same field are directly linked to the spread of this type of AI tool. However, public-sector organizations are more reluctant about using this type of tool. This aversion can, however, be moderated by an innovative climate and the fact that the HR function plays an active part in an organization's strategic direction. This said, this article makes a significant contribution to the literature about the diffusion of emerging technologies in organizations.
