New Research methods of Sales-Marketing Interfaces
160-183Megtekintések száma:379The energy invested in research in this topic is justified by the fact that the lack of optimal integration between SM (sales-marketing) can negatively affect overall corporate efficiency. The aim of this article is to present possible research methods that can reveal the impact of selected indicators, such as information exchange, coordination, vision and communication, conflicts, on the operation of the SM interface, according to Hungarian and foreign employees of international companies, and how they affect sales and marketing collaboration between pharmaceutical companies (PMC) and non-pharmaceutical companies (NPMC). It also attempts to demonstrate how the Partial Least Square (PLS) path modeling technique can provide valuable information on the consequences of management activity, and how the methods provided by Voyant Tools provide further research through quantitative analysis of qualitative data on the marketing sales interface (SMI), they can open up opportunities. The PLS-PM modeling technique was used to explore the relationships between the selected factors and possible hidden variables. These results clearly demonstrate that there are factors that influence SM collaboration that operate differently in PMCs and NPMCs, and that nationality differences can have a significant impact on how employees evaluate factors that affect SM collaboration. Of the methods we selected by Voyant Tools, the t-SNE (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding) tool proved to be the most sophisticated analysis, allowing the deepest analyzes by exploring relationships between groups of terms.

The Dunning–Kruger Effect in Knowledge Management Examination of BSc Level Business Students
14-21Megtekintések száma:226The Dunning-Kruger effect (DKE) in higher education evaluation is one of the current research areas of psychology, educational science, and management science (in our case). Its importance is that the less prepared one is, the less accurately one can judge what performance is expected of him. What is more, he will err more and will overestimate himself. The present study aims better to understand the phenomenon with new, small-sample empirical results. The study is part of a research series that has been ongoing at the University of Debrecen since 2015. It not only quantitatively expands the literature but also includes the course of Knowledge Management among those examined. During the research, students were asked both before the examination (N = 63) and after the examination (N = 76) to guess how many points they would achieve on a multiple-choice test. It supports the presence of DKE, both in the case of pre-examination and post-examination self-evaluations. Using four multivariate linear regression models, we examined whether the sign value or absolute value of the errors made during the guesses show a correlation - in addition to the available control variables - with the test score. Our results showed that the more accurate the pre-examination and post-examination estimations were, the higher the students' actual score was, while the less they tended to overestimate their preparation. This supports the presence of DKE, both in the case of pre-exam and post-exam self-evaluation.

Az online bankolás hazai vizsgálata
22-32Megtekintések száma:280Napjainkban a digitalizáció térhódítása folyamatosan nő. A jelenlegi felnövekvő generáció már „digitális bennszülött”. A digitalizáció részeként feltétlenül említést kell tennünk az internetről, ami kiemelt szerepet tölt be mindennapi életünkben. Az interneten keresünk információt, kommunikálunk, vásárolunk. Ezen tényezők és a 2020-ban kialakult pandémia miatt az internetes ügyintézés is kiemelt fontosságúvá vált. A bankoknak folyamatosan alkalmazkodniuk kell a megnövekedett igényekhez, amik a kényelmes, otthoni bankolást segítik elő. Kutatásunk során éppen erre a folyamatos alkalmazkodásra, és az ebből eredő fejlesztésekre koncentráltunk. A kutatás középpontjában a hazai nagybankok internet- és mobilbankjai álltak. A mintavételezés 2 időszakban zajlott. A primer kutatási eszközök közül a dokumentumelemzést és a netnográfiát választottuk. A kutatás során összehasonlítottuk a platformokon elérhető funkciókat, a mobilbankok fogyasztói megítélését és más változókat. A kutatás során kapott eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy a hazai bankok folyamatosan fejlesztik az applikációjukat különböző trendek mentén, és igyekeznek igazodni a változó igényekhez. A legtöbb nagybank mobilbankjában komoly változásokat kellett megvalósítani, akár korábbi mobilbankjuk végleges kivezetésével. A változások erős hatást gyakorolhatnak a fogyasztókra, akikből ezen változások gyakran inkább negatív véleményt váltottak ki. Összességében a digitalizálódás ilyetén formája kiemelten fontos ezen szektorban is. A tanulmány a Tudományos Diákköri Konferenciára készült pályamunka részleteit tartalmazza.

The research examined the state of art of digitalization readiness, focusing on I4.0 technologies, which supports the management to operate more efficiently the enterprise and to make better decisions. So the focus was on integrated enterprise information systems, management support systems, business intelligence systems, industry 4.0 technologies, and issues related to their application. The analysis based on an online questionnaire survey the request sent to 4.600 enterprises, the response rate was 5% which was representative of the branches of production, covered the Hungarian food and beverage manufacturing sectors in 2019. The companies were asked the most critical technologies in development, going towards Industry 4.0. The research tools were LimeSurvey, Mailing List Server, Excel, Power BI (Desktop, Publishing Server to distribute the results). The used analysing methods were making calculations, pivot tables, models, dasboards. We found that a significant portion of businesses, 78 %, use mobile devices in the manufacturing process. The three most relevant digital technologies are geolocating (GPS, GNSS), cloud computing, and sensor technology. The current level of digitalization and integration cannot be said to be high, but respondents are very optimistic about expectations. Improvements are expected in all areas in the next 2-3 years in terms of digitalisation and integration. Vertical integration involves, first and foremost, cooperation with partners in the supply chain. Horizontal integration means close, real-time connectivity and collaboration within the company. Unfortunately, between 6% and 15% of SMEs (approximately 9% on average) and large enterprises, 36% have a digital strategy. According to the survey, the sector needs significant improvement and creating a digitalization strategy.

Az egészségfejlesztés emberi tőkére gyakorolt munkaerő-piaci hatásai
591-602Megtekintések száma:486Napjainkban egyre nagyobb mértékben van jelen a munkahelyi egészségfejlesztés, hazánkban és nemzetközi viszonylatban is. A kutatásomban szakirodalmi elemzés segítéségével arra kerestem a választ, hogy a munkahelyi egészségfejlesztő programok, azon belül pedig a fizikai aktivitás hogyan befolyásolja a munkavállalók keresőképességét, valamint a termelékenységet. A termelékenység esetében jelentős faktor az emberi tőke. Az emberi tőkét úgy definiálhatjuk, hogy az ember belső, személyétől elkülöníthetetlen adottságai, jellemvonásainak összessége, amelyre beruházás útján részesül és eredményeként növeli az egyén termelékenységét. A beruházás lehet egészségügyi célú költések (egészségfejlesztő programok), a kötelező oktatáson kívüli tanórák költségei és a legideálisabb munkahelyi állás megtalálásának időköltségeit is ide sorolhatjuk.
A vizsgálatom során szekunder adatgyűjtést hajtottam végre. Kutatásomban elsősorban az egészségfejlesztés és a fizikai aktivitással foglalkozó szakirodalmi forrásokat tekintettem át. A szakirodalmi források áttekintése után, a kutatás eredményeként összeségben elmondható, hogy az egészségfejlesztés és azon belül a fizikai aktivitásba történő beruházás előmozdítja az egészség javulását, valamint az életkereset és a munkatermelékenység növelését is.

Labour Economics - A technológiai fejlődés oldaláról
98-108Megtekintések száma:71A technológiai fejlődés hatása a munkaerőpiacra és az innovációs folyamatokra kiemelkedő fontosságú kutatási terület. Jelen tanulmány célja a technológiai újítások megjelenésének és gyakoriságának vizsgálata a tudományos publikációkban, különös tekintettel a Journal of Labour Economics folyóiratra 2000 és 2020 között. A kutatás során tartalomelemzési módszer került alkalmazásra, melynek keretében 1405 cikkben 8 különböző technológiai fejlődésre utaló szó és kifejezés (például: technológia, mesterséges intelligencia, gépi tanulás) keresése történt meg. A keresések során a találatok száma és éves megjelenési trendjei is elemzésre kerültek. A vizsgálat során 9469 találatot sikerült azonosítani, melyek azt mutatják, hogy az esetek 64,7%-ában legalább egyszer előfordult valamely technológiai kifejezés. Az éves trendek elemzése alapján csak bizonyos kulcsszavak (technológia, mesterséges intelligencia és gépi tanulás) esetében figyelhető meg növekedés. A cikkek kisebb részében, mindössze 1%-ában található legalább 50 alkalommal említés technológiai vonatkozású kifejezésekre. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy bár a technológiai fejlődés témája jelentős szerepet kap a munkaerőpiaci kutatásokban, a megjelenési gyakoriság és a mélységi elemzések jelentős változatossággal rendelkezik. A technológiai fejlődésre utaló kifejezések megjelenésének növekedése főként a mesterséges intelligencia és gépi tanulás területén figyelhető meg. Az eredmények egyetlen folyóiratra vonatkoznak, így további kutatások szükségesek más munkaerőpiaci folyóiratok bevonásával a reprezentativitás érdekében.

Simulation of BLDC Motor Drive Systems for Electric Vehicles Using Matlab Simulink
48-52Megtekintések száma:256The defining scientific developments of our time would not have been possible without the use of simulations. The aim of the research is to create a simulation of a BLDC motor. When creating a simulation, great emphasis must be placed on defining the purpose of the simulation. This basically determines the structure and complexity of the model. The model discussed here was created so that an optimization task could be defined more precisely by inserting it as a sub-model into a vehicle dynamics model. Scalability was another aspect, that is, to be able to increase the accuracy of the model with measured data in the future, as well as to be able to validate it. During the research, a BLDC motor efficiency map generation program was created, as well as an environment for testing the generated data. The created system gives researchers the opportunity to use a shape-correct efficiency model when simulating a BLDC motor even without measured data. This makes it possible to discover real relationships between model parameters when performing optimization.

Entrepreneurial Climate – Management of Women's Entrepreneurship
69-74Megtekintések száma:92Entrepreneurship, which people can have without formal economic education, is a tendency acquired through upbringing in the family, competition in school, implies risk and constant self-affirmation through the acquisition of profits and losses, so that it represents the sum of successes and failures, victory and defeat. In the last thirty years, female entrepreneurship has been developing more and more, especially in less developed countries, the reason for such growth is primarily reflected in the promotion of equality between men and women, the right to education, and the development of democracy. Female entrepreneurship is a significant factor in economic development, so the national economy becomes richer. The subject of this research are the entrepreneurial climate in the Balkans compared to the world in terms of female entrepreneurship, what is the role of the family in starting a small business, as well as its survival and growth. In the study the results of previous research in this area. The research method is based on a comparative analysis of studies dealing with this problem from the territory of Balkans. It can be concluded that in the Balkans, female entrepreneurship is still in its infancy, it is about a very small percentage of female entrepreneurs, although according to research, it is evident that there has been no major progress in the last 15 years. Recommendation In the countries of the Balkans, there is a good entrepreneurial climate for the development of female entrepreneurship, especially because women can work from home, and in the future it is necessary to go in this direction.

Long Container Dwell Time at Seaport Terminals: An Investigation Study from a Consignee Perspective
Megtekintések száma:486Many companies are concerned about the problem of increasing average dwell time for their import containers at the port of the final destination and therefore incurring additional shipping costs in form of demurrage charges for the port administration and detention charges for the shipping line. Previous studies have addressed this topic by analyzing terminal operations and evaluated its effects on port productivity and competitiveness; however few studies have explicitly explored long container dwell time causes from a consignee perspective. This research aims to identify the causes of long dwell time for the import containers at port storage yards for one of the leading FMCG companies in Jordan. To that end, the data of import containers whose stay at the terminal exceeded the free storage days in the period between 2019 and 2020 were collected by referring to the set of shipping documents and reviewing the correspondences between the consignee and other parties in the supply chain. Based on the timelines that have been analyzed for each case of delay to the collection of shipping documents in consideration with the payment terms, as well as the clearance and delivery timelines, ten causes for the long container dwell time have been identified and classified into three main categories according to the types of flow in the supply chain; five causes related to information flow, two causes related to cash flow, and three causes related to physical flow. The impact of these causes has been evaluated using the demurrage and detention charges as a measure indicator and the findings of this research have also revealed that the causes related to cash flow have a greater impact than the other types of causes.

Generational Transfer Among Family Businesses on the Fields of Reputation and Organizational Culture – Research Plan
102-108Megtekintések száma:127Aim: The aim of this paper is to generally introduce the topic, themes and relevance of the research on which my PhD thesis will be based. The research will focus on change of generations among Hungarian family businesses and deals with changes of leadership, organizational culture and core values, related to the management/owner succession. The research needs to apply knowledge from four disciplines ‒ PR, organizational culture, economic (family businesses) and leadership ‒ so it is multidisciplinary in nature. Following a current step of the research-process will be presented.
Methodology: The Family Business Barometer results were applied for gaining information about the plans related to the future, generations, and so on of European Family Businesses. Then three Hungarian family businesses were interviewed in the frame of a panel-discussion organized by the Commercial and Industry Chamber in Győr-MosonSopron County. These three family businesses were the Borsodi Műhely, the Biotextima and the Leier.
Findings: All in all between 2013 and 2016 most of the family businesses seemed to be confident about the future. In this aspect just a few family businesses were neutral in this time period. Unfortunately, there were family businesses who had a negative attitude for the future. The deliberate and detailed planning of the handover, the selection of a determined date for handover, the determination of the older generation to really do not interfere in affairs, the cohesive role of the family, family activities, the support from the family could lead to the effective change of generations.

Improvement of High Strength Automotive Steels Wettability Properties Using CO2 Laser Surface Treatment
422-427Megtekintések száma:168As a result of stricter environmental and safety standards, vehicle manufacturers have to reduce the weight of the vehicles, because 10% weight loss cause 8-10% reduction of fuel consumption. To reduce car’s weight and increase safety, vehicle manufacturers use high-strength steels. Further weight reduction can be achieved by using corresponding bonding technology (soldering, sticking) and optimizing these technologies can increase the strength of the joints. According to literature research, the improvement of interface properties has a large effect on bonding technologies. In order to improve interface properties, we can use multiple surface treatments. In our research we investigate the effects of CO2 laser surface treatment on high strength steels, because CO2 lasers are often used in the vehicle industry. In order to detect the effect of surface treatment, we investigate the wettability of the treated and untreated steels. In our research we measure the surface tension of treated and untreated steels. Our main goal is to improve wettability properties thus the bonding technology. In our research we used DP 600 high strength steel sheet with the thickness of 1 mm. We cut the steel sheet to 25mm wide and 55mm long workpieces. Before the surface treatment, the workpieces had to be cleaned and degreased using methanol. We searched for parameters that do not cause any visible changes on the surfaces. Among the parameters of the treatment we were able to change the output power of the laser. We used contact angle measurement to examine the wettability.

According to GUPTA et al. (1986) product innovation is a multidisciplinary process. Although, all functional interfaces are important in the product development process, the research and development – marketing interface is one of the most difficult one. In the last two decades the incredibly fast penetration of the internet has more and more effects on the consumer attitudes. It encourages market researchers to apply such methods by which they could get as close as to the consumers to know their attitudes without taking them out of their natural habitat. In this study our aim is to concentrate on the first phase of the product innovation, which is the exploration of insights and attitudes. In this phase we can use the classical, conventional market research techniques if we want to get primary data, such as focus group interviews, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, but there are new methods as well. One of such novel methods is netnography. The biggest advantage of this research method is that the researcher can observe the consumer groups’ state of mind and decision-making mechanisms through publicly available communication sources in their natural environment. In this study it will be analysed how the directions of netnographic researches have changed by the dynamic changes of the internet. Besides, online participants’ attitudes towards healthconscious nutrition are analysed in practice. As a result of this study, special groups could be identified, which can provide a new perspective for the companies operating in this field beside the classical segmentation techniques. These groups can be the ones which draw up latent market requirements, and thus, helping the companies’ innovation processes.
