Economic Restructuring and Labor Market Adaptation in a Regional Context – The Impact of Industrial Investments in Debrecen
139-154Views:152This study examines the labour market impacts of the large-scale industrial investments in Debrecen between 2015-2025, with particular focus on the economic transformation generated by BMW, CATL and other multinational corporations. The research aims to explore how the emergence of new high-tech industries transforms the structure of the regional labour market, what competency realignments it produces, and what managerial challenges it poses. The methodological approach combines literature analysis, secondary data collection and expert consultations, focusing on investments in the Southern and Northwestern Economic Zones. The research identified a "dual shock effect" in Debrecen's labor market: the creation of more than 20,000 new jobs generates a quantitative shock, while the industrial structural transformation and the competency expectations of international companies representing high-tech industries result in a qualitative shock. Competition for labour has led to significant wage increases and forces the application of new recruitment and retention strategies, while intercultural leadership and organizational development have also become critical challenges during the implementation of greenfield investments in Debrecen. Debrecen's economic transformation represents an exemplary process for regional development, however, it poses significant adaptation challenges for both employees and companies.

The impact of digital transformation on the business model
69-79Views:461The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics of the digital economy and digital business models, summarising and contextualising the milestones, tools, conditions, socio-economic impacts and areas of the emergence and development of the digital economy. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the digital economy and its wide range of interpretations, there are no universally accepted, precise definitions and taxonomies, and the subject is delimited by a number of definitions, due to the specificities of the discipline and the approaches taken by studies in particular sub-disciplines. The digital economy is the main driver of economic growth, changing lifestyles, transforming the economy and leading to profound consequences for businesses, jobs and people. The first wave of the emergence of the digital economy can be detected in the second half of the 20th century, when it was driven primarily by the new technology itself, mainly the internet, as a widely affordable and accessible factor driving exponential growth. The future digital economy could be based on a combination of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). In a general sense, the digital transformation brought about by the digital economy can be defined as the modification or adaptation of existing business models, as a result of the dramatic transformation in consumer and societal behaviour, attitudes and ways of being, as well as the dynamic pace of technological development, modernisation and innovation. Other areas of the digital economy are new digital models (digital platforms, cloud services), automation, massive data collection, data processing, data analytics, algorithm-based decision making.

DIGITALIZATION IS AROUND THE CORNER: THE CHANGING COMPETENCE EXPECTATIONS OF CONTROLLERS – LITERATURE REVIEW
69-74Views:715In the literature the way innovation shakes an industry or social subsystem shows up as ‘digital transformation’, or ‘disruptive technology’. Digital transformation impacts the whole company, especially finance and accounting. These function areas, on one hand, are following the changes brought about by digital transformation, while supporting decision-making process, and, on the other hand, new opportunities are opening up to make these areas more effective. These environmental changes demand an in-depth examination of the development of competency expectations and responsibilities of employees working these function areas. The aim of this paper is to determine how the revealed processes and tendencies affect the organizational and the individual level, and how the expectations of the future controller change.

The status and challenges of the digitalization of rural areas in Hungary
33-44Views:446The aim of this study is to explore the economic and social impacts of digitalization in rural areas of Hungary, with particular attention to the role of infrastructural development, digital skills, opportunities for the younger generation, and the adaptability of rural enterprises. The research is based on secondary data analysis, drawing from national and international databases to examine the current state, challenges, and opportunities of rural digitalization. The findings reveal that, although infrastructural improvements—especially in broadband network coverage—have brought significant progress, the digital transition is still hindered by a lack of financial resources, insufficient digital competencies, and limited access to technological innovation. The study emphasizes that digitalization in rural areas is not merely a matter of technology but also a strategic tool for promoting social equity and territorial cohesion. Accordingly, the author proposes the implementation of complex, targeted, and community-oriented development policies to support inclusive rural digital transformation.

Trends in the Construction Industry and in Building Public Utilities
23-28Views:321If one hears the word construction industry, one probably associates it with building a house, but the concept of construction industry covers a much larger area and can be divided into colourful periods. Architecture is the transformation of the built environment. On the one hand it is one of the branches of arts (applied arts), on the other hand it is one of the branches of engineering and technology disciplines. Nowadays, more and more environment-friendly technology is used in the construction industry, and already in the design stage a considerable emphasis is put on the use of renewable energy resources, in particular the use of solar cells. To measure the trends in the construction industry and in the building of public works we have also prepared a questionnaire which was filled in by 100 managers of enterprises.

Adaptation of automated control technologies in SMEs
80-89Views:271The spread of automated controlling technologies significantly impacts the operations of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially in financial management. These technologies enable companies to manage their finances more efficiently, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness. The benefits of automation include increased accuracy, reduced manual labor, and faster data processing, which allow managers to make more informed decisions. Through digital transformation, SMEs can access the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cloud solutions, and big data analytics, further boosting the effectiveness of controlling systems. In the future, it will be crucial for SMEs to integrate new technologies like blockchain, IoT, and AI to sustainably improve their performance and competitiveness.

Moral climate change – moral renewal
34-44Views:258The human is a moral beings - because it does not behave as a moral being, - will come to naught. According the advocates of ethics, the not insight of this fact should lead to a global ecological disaster ( to a second flood). The possibility of survival is standing or falling with the possibility of moral action: are we aware of the existence of good or bad? Are we able to distinguish the two? Is our freedom, to choose the good knowing both? And at the and, do we recognize our
unavoidable responsibility for our actions? This study is about it. -
The impact of increasing environmental expectations and forced paperless administration on corporate sustainability
25-33Views:334Current environmental legislation, directives, and expectations of the stakeholders put increasing pressure on companies' sustainability efforts. Such efforts include applying life cycle analysis methods, resource-saving technologies, low-emission practices, and voluntary ecological rules. Digitization facilitates these efforts, and the forced situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digital transformation process even more. Many companies were pressured to find solutions that legally and effectively bypass personal presence. Paper-based administration was restrained, giving hope for the broader spread of entirely paperless businesses. The study aims to present Hungarian companies' incentives for environmental protection and emphasize how paper-free offices are an essential milestone in sustainable development.

DIGITALIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONTROLLING AREA OF COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES
49-59Views:428One of today’s most important social and economic phenomena is the fourth industrial revolution, the effect of which is that digitalization can significantly transform business processes. The corporate controlling area cannot avoid transformation either, its methods and tools will change. Just as controlling itself, its changes can also differ between sectors, especially in the extremely diverse service sector. The aim of the research is to examine, on a domestic sample, whether there are differences in this respect between companies with a main commercial activity and the rest of the service sector. The data of the questionnaire research conducted with 46 controllers and managers were evaluated by means of cross-tabulations, averages and statistical tests. There are no differences in the digital development of the key performance indicators that form the basis of controller work, in the use of ERP systems, automation solutions and language algorithms. In the commercial group of the sample, the use of business intelligence tools providing advanced planning and analysis options is significantly more common. The two groups of the sample do not differ in terms of the factors encouraging the digitalization of the controlling area, but the companies with a commercial main activity differ in terms of the importance of the factors hindering the process: they are more averse to new technologies, more afraid of their usual positions, but perceive the financial aspects of the development to be less important.
