Factors Influencing Female Entrepreneurship
32-55Views:421The following research was conducted with the objective of identifying the factors that influence women to become entrepreneurs. It explores the effectiveness of support mechanisms, including mentorship programs, networking opportunities, access to financial resources, and policy interventions in enhancing the success of female entrepreneurs. Special attention is given to the decision-making threshold concept and the role of self-confidence. A multi-method approach was employed, entailed a comprehensive literature review, a qualitative analysis based on interviews, and a quantitative analysis conducted through surveys. The data obtained from these methods were triangulated to ensure robust insights. The research resulted in a model that illustrates the interrelationship between the scientific, practical and educational approaches. The findings highlight the potential of developing a motivation model for female decision-making in entrepreneurship, identifying key motivators, focusing on economic, social and personal factors with self-confidence as a central concept of study.

Comparing higher education preferences with labour market needs
382-392Views:532Hungarian institutions of higher education play an important role in national economy: they ensure intellectual labour with appropriate knowledge and professional competencies for Hungary in all profession fields. If the rules of private sector are applied for these institutions – interpreting it within a certain framework as the quality of education and research has to be maintained and there are social benefits associated with them -, they owned by the state, their management is the institutional leadership and their consumer is the labour market. Thus, training programmes must or should be developed in accordance with the needs of labour market. It represents a major challenge, even without taking into consideration other factors, since future requirements should be aimed (at least a 3-5 year training period later) – along with a rapid technological development. Even if the state makes significant efforts to adapt training programmes to meet the requirements of the labour market demands, students who want to further their education pay limited attention to these factors in their educational decision-making. Partly for this reason, career transition or shortages may occur in the case of certain professions. This paper seeks to address to what extent the most popular training programmes meet the expectations and to what extent the degree earned may be regarded as a ‘success’ in the labour market; moreover, if they do not overlap each other, how much applicants prefer those training programmes which are to be considered the most successful based on recruitment information. Admission statistics of Education Department and database of DPR provide the necessary information for the period 2010-2017 and these data sources enable authors to follow-up students from application to higher education until employment.

Justification for the Olympic Reform Package Based on Good Practice
Views:510The Olympic Games have always been the pinnacle of sport and achievement. The modern Olympics are held every four years, and the venue is chosen from among the cities that apply. In my research, I wanted to find out the reasons for the decline in the popularity of the Games. To answer this question, I looked at 2 successful Olympics (2000 Sydney, 2012 London) in the hope of identifying success factors that could be adapted to other host countries. I conducted secondary research, reviewed related international and national research, and the available economic data. During the document analysis, I found that the expected costs of organising the Olympic have increased significantly over the last two to three decades, and under-planning is a common feature. As a result of the research, I have found that the most important pillars of successful organisation are a proper organising committee, comprehensive opportunity and risk analysis, accurate planning, sustainability in planning, continuous cost control, private sector support, and the work of volunteers.

The Relationship Among Ethics and Conflict Management in Hungarian Metal and Machinery Supply Chains
1-18Views:213It seems that ethics has become an important issue because more and more firms accept ethical codex and make them public as well. On contrary all of us know some stories when unethical behaviour resulted tragedy. Nowadays in business life ethics and responsibility appear as necessary value from the aspect of success. More papers state that ethical behaviour offers various benefits in business relationships. Our paper seeks these positives in empirical way by interviewing members and experts of Hungarian metal and machinery supply chains but we take into consideration the network effects as well. Our survey investigates how fair behaviour can prevent or decrease conflicts in business. The results of our qualitative research show that fair behaviour brings certain benefits but the economic reality and the direction of money flow are dominant. We have met various forms of conflict management and found that respondents want to maintain even very problematic business ties as well.

Evolution of Lean Management and the Organizational Learning
251-259Views:865In industry, service and public sector lean approach is gaining ground. However, there is a significant difference between the organizations applying lean concept in case of their lean transformation maturity level as well as their lessons learned. There is a huge variety of methods and techniques which can be used but there are two conditions in case of every organization regardless their sector or their lean maturity level which determine the success of their lean development: lean approach leader and learning organization. Lean leadership is not based on a particular sector or method and a ready-made lean organization is not needed either. The concept of the top management has a huge effect on the characteristics of theorganization but whether the will of the management is enough for the complete transformation or not is the question. Is the target the lean organization itself or how a unit of an organization or the whole organization can react to the change of the environment? The attitudes and behaviors of lean approach leadership can be applied every day, everywhere and support the aim of creating a real lean organization.

Study of the University Electronic Games E-sports League and Its E-sports Players
52-61Views:321E-sports are competitive video games coordinated by different leagues and organisations. E-sports players belong to teams or different managements, which are sponsored by various economic companies and establishment. In the beginning, only offline and then online competitions were organised, and nowadays an offline final takes place in sports halls at the end of an online qualification round. The primary objective of the present research is to study the e-athletes participating in the University Electronic Games (UEG) e-sports competition. In addition to the e-sports players, I consider it important to examine the tournament itself, how the players interviewed rate it and what motivated them to participate again. I conducted an online questionnaire survey among the participants of the three seasons of the UEG online tournament organised by the University of Debrecen. UEG is the largest university e-sport tournament in Hungary in terms of its number of participants, which is why it was selected for the study. The participants in the study are motivated to compete in order to achieve success and enjoy competing to win, for them e-sports is a self-fulfilment. They keep up to date with national e-sports news and competitions through social media and the university mailing system. In general, the participants rate the UEG e-sports championship highly. The organisers need to improve the organisation of the tournament and their preparedness to run a tournament of this size. Their strengths are their helpfulness and their accurate and precise information about the tournament.

3X3 Basketball Tournaments in Debrecen
231-250Views:438Faster attacks, spin speed, increased adrenaline levels, vehement play. This is all about the 3X3 basketball. In Debrecen, the first 3X3 basketball matches were held in 2015, most of them did not even think that the sport would be popular in Hungary as well. Practically, from the start of the first minute, the games were played with great success. Following the successful settlement, the International Basketball Association immediately offered a 3-year contract to Debrecen. The purpose of our research was to examine the 3X3 basketball tournaments in Debrecen, which was analyzed using a questionnaire and an in-depth interview. 69% of the respondents participated in the 2016 and 2017 events, but only 37% attended the 3X3 basketball tournaments that were held for the first time in 2015. It can be stated that this trend is growing and the event is gaining popularity nationwide. Sponsors and sponsors covered every issue of the event so the event was free of charge over the years. 72% of fillers, however, are willing to spend money on a possible entry fee. In terms of revenue growth, the introduction of admission fees is unlikely to reduce interest. Up to 1200 seats have been filled up for the event every year. Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of people would like to enjoy a higher auditorium with more space. The introduction of 4-point boundaries (3 points) for 3X3 matches would be a great opportunity to try the "little brother" of basketball in the 4-point so that it can be introduced in traditional basketball. Hungary became the pioneer of the sport due to the results of the Hungarian national team and the successful organization of sporting events.

Project Risks and Risky Projects
164-189Views:500Projects are key drivers of organizational change, both their failure and success can have significant impact on the organizational performance. Risks may arise throughout the entire project life cycle. Managing these and initial project planning uncertainties is an important task of Project Management. The study describes the application of traditional project management tools and methods in risk analysis, -evaluation and -treatment based on modern project and risk management standards and recommendations. The authors also examine the link between classic project management objectives (project time - resources – scopes) and risk-based decision-making. The different scale and scope of projects call for different responses to the associated risks. The study highlights the possible role of the ISO 31000 risk management standard package in project risk management. The authors analyse the risk management of the different projects on the basis of processing relevant literature, including the relationship of the project stakeholders to the risks. R&D, agile projects and project portfolios have specific and complex risk exposures, but their project management can provide several „hidden” risk analysis and - treatment functions.

The Opportunity of Analysing Global Career
115-124Views:387The study aims to define global career and to present an applicable method. Internationalisation and globalisation indisputably have affect on companies actions. The value of human capital as a resource has got notably higher than before. To retain competitiveness, multinational companies have to focus their sight on employees with globally usable knowledge. In today’s globalized world international assignments are particularly frequent. It is a must to differentiate between working abroad willingly or sent abroad by the company. Achieved and applied knowledge from international assignments are essential ingredients of global career. However, the inappropriately planned career structure can cause damage for the company and for the cost effectiveness of the HR department. It is vital to appoint the most suitable employee for the assignment, to increase the company’s success rate and to maximize the individual’s performance as soon as possible. The effectiveness of the selection has influence on performing a successful assignment in the process of the career path.

Comparative Study of Surface Treatment Procedures for Dental Implants
12-32Views:328Nowadays, the most common type of implant in dentistry is a partial tooth replacement, such as a crown, or a complete tooth replacement. Today, many manufacturers offer implants made of a wide variety of materials and designs. These restorations must meet strict standards, one of the most stringent being surface roughness. Since proper bone-to-implant contact only occurs with adequate surface roughness, several methods are used to achieve the correct value. After reviewing the results of experiments carried out by several research groups, it is concluded that the surface roughness, the shape of the implant fixation screw, the shape of the thread and the thread elevation used to achieve the desired roughness together determine the success of the implantation. The average surface roughness required for osseointegration is considered to be optimal for values between 1 and 100 µm. In most cases, the surface roughness of commercially available dental prostheses is Ra 1-2 µm, but this can be modified by various grinding, acid etching and polishing processes to suit the application. Acid etching is a common technique for roughness reduction, which is the most effective in reducing surface roughness of dental restorative materials (mostly titanium alloys), thus bringing the roughness within the desired range. The result of acid etching is influenced by the concentration of acid, the temperature of the acid bath and the time spent in the acid. The acid used for the surface treatment is important and is most commonly sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid or hydrogen fluoride (HF) and combinations of these. The study shows that the most optimal results are obtained with HF. Replacements are nowadays largely made by additive manufacturing, which allows for customised replacements and, due to dimensional accuracy, reduces the time and cost of post-processing, i.e. the surface treatment can be used to achieve the desired surface roughness and size at the same time. As a result, newer materials are being used for clinical prostheses and surface treatment should be applicable to all materials. The most optimal solution is a combination of grit blasting and acid etching. With this technology, the surface roughness for all materials reaches the optimum value of 1-100 µm, sometimes 1-2 µm, but can be further reduced below 1 µm by polishing. The study investigates the role of surface roughness, the surface roughness should only be reduced up to a certain value, approximately 0.5 µm, as smooth surfaces have limited or no potential for osseointegration.
