• Dual higher education is a form of education where students' training is provided jointly by a higher education institution and a partner organization. At the partner organization, students gain specific professional knowledge and work experience, which allows them to enter the labour market as more experienced and skilled professionals after graduation. The aim of our research is to assess the opinions of partner organizations involved in dual education on this type of training. The organizations involved in dual education operate in a wide variety of sectors. The examined database contains data on companies and institutions registered in Hungary that are involved in dual education, with the selection being made in such a way that the sample covers the widest possible range of dual education programs. Our aim is to examine the results of the introduction so far and to identify the factors necessary for further development opportunities. The questionnaire was completed electronically or by phone by the partner organizations, with the help of an interviewer, on a voluntary basis. The questions included formulated statements, which belong to the closed-ended question type group, within which several subtypes can also be found in the questionnaire. We formulated one-answer questions in the questionnaire and used Likert scale questions. When processing the questionnaires, we not only examined the answers to the individual questions separately, but also examined the relationships between the different variables. During the analysis, we used the ANOVA test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Wilcoxon test and the Dunn test to uncover the relationships.

  This paper analyses the success of the Hungarian SME sector from the aspect of competitiveness, innovation, organizational background and the role of the leader/owner.

  Based on the world's most renowned university rankings, OECD annual reports and Eurostat data, this paper seeks to demonstrate that a competitive economy requires competitive (higher) education and that there is a significant correlation between the quality of higher education and economic development. Furthermore, in this process, the higher education quality assurance organization system has an outstanding task and responsibility through the formation of quality culture, guidelines, helpful research, summary of good practices and making constructive suggestions. Finally, it points out that close collaboration between universities and agencies with stakeholders is a priority area, which could contribute to a much more capability-based output system in the longer term. It also considers it desirable to make the relationship between universities and scientific research networks and research institutes closer and more vibrant (where it is not).

  There is rich literature about platform companies and their user-clients. Less attention was paid for auxiliary service providers of the platform ecosystems, for example the providers of logistics services. Universal postal service providers found themselves in competitive environment after the market liberalization of the early 2010s. Parallel, they joined the quickly booming platform ecosystems, especially online trade with their CEP service. This study discusses this dynamic adjustment process through the example of Hungarian Post. The research used besides secondary sources, information gathered from interviews with managers of Hungarian Post. The research results enrich the literature on the platform economy. The authors’ main finding was that the logistics activity was adjusted to the requirements of the platform economy. Postal service providers also started applying platform business models. In broader sense this illustrates how the evolving new techno-economic paradigm’s business model and organization alters the activity of firms in more traditional markets.
