    Nowadays, the protection of the local economy and society is strongly supported not only at the level of nations, but also at the global level. Our study was based on the CETSCALE model of Shimp and Sharma (1987), based on Sumner's (1906) concept of ethnocentrism. The consumer questionnaire survey was conducted in the fall of 2021 as part of an omnibus research on a representative sample (N=1000). The sample reflects the composition of the basic population in terms of gender, age, settlement type and regions. In the course of the research, in addition to descriptive statistical methods, factor and cluster analysis were performed in order to reveal the consumer segments formed along the lines of domestic ethnocentric values. Since in 2014 we already analyzed this set of statements in the framework of a representative large-scale study, we also had the opportunity to compare it with the results of seven years earlier. According to our expectations, the 2020 epidemic increased the commitment to Hungarian products. However, our preliminary assumption was not confirmed, during the analyzes it was revealed that there was no significant change compared to the previous state. Along the lines of the CETSCALE statements, it was possible to identify two factors and with their help to separate three segments, which were named Nationalist, Patriotic and Cosmopolitan based on their alignment with the value groups. It is in the fundamental interest of the actors of the domestic economy that the patriotic behavior is strengthened in the future, for which a strategy must be developed.

    The revenue-generating capacity of spectator team sports, especially European football, has developed significantly in recent decades. Europe's top teams, more than 700 clubs from 55 countries, have managed to generate annual revenues of more than €20 billion over the last 4 years. A significant part of European club football revenues comes from the Big 5 leagues. Of the 98 teams in the English, Spanish, German, Italian and French leagues, the top 20 clubs play a dominant role in generating revenues, accounting for 40% of total European revenues. Looking at the revenue structures, the most important sources of revenue are broadcast revenues and commercial and sponsorship revenues. Total revenues for European club football increased significantly in the pre-COVID period, averaging over 7% per year, but have slowed down significantly following the impact of COVID. The Polish league has experienced a significant decline, while the Hungarian league has seen a significant improvement in the period under review between 2017-2020, both in terms of aggregate revenues and average revenues per team. In my research, I present the development and distribution of the revenues of the Big 5, Hungarian and Polish leagues for the period 2017-2020.

    The megatrend of striving for healthy nutrition is a constant and indisputable reality. In our pilot research, we investigated an essential but often overlooked area of nutrition for consumers, focusing on the well-known players in the hydration field: soft drinks. Our study involved a group of 30 high school graduates aged 18-19, who represent a real purchasing power in the food market, and therefore the understanding of the mechanisms behind their purchasing decisions is a key issue. Our primary research was structured along two main pillars, the first was to understand the internal unconscious influences, which we investigated using a fixed eye camera. The second pillar consisted of a questionnaire survey, in which we asked participants about their background, their individual preferences and questions about what they saw during the eye-camera study. Monitoring gaze tracking enabled us to examine what participants were focusing on when they looked at the front or information side of a beverage package. Our research also included an eye-camera analysis of promotional posts on social media platforms. We compared the data collected using the eye camera with the subjective health awareness of the participants and created groups. For each group, aggregated heat maps were created, which provide a visual representation of the distribution of gaze in each image.

  • Erasmus+ student flow analysis with the gravity model

    This study aims to examine Erasmus student flows between the 33 Erasmus+ programme countries using a gravity model. The regression analysis quantifies the impact of the factors influencing decisions on the country choice in 2018. The results suggest that the costs embodied by geographical distance and cultural differences significantly diminish the intensity of bilateral student mobility. The research also shows that students prefer to choose a country with reputable, high-quality universities, while tourist attractions do not increase the attractiveness of the host country.

  • THE EFFECT OF ECONOMIC POLICY DECISIONS AND INFLATION ON THE SITUATION OF THE LABOR MARKET - WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

    Nowadays, our country is characterized by active monetary and fiscal political decisions, however, the crisis caused by the coronavirus and the Russian-Ukrainian war and its inflationary consequences would lead the economic policy decisions in the opposite direction, which is unsustainable in the long term. In my study, I examined the relationship between fiscal and monetary policy and the labor impact of the economic crisis based on macroeconomic data, the Hungarian National Bank, and European Union forecasts. Significant progress was made in economic policy after 2010, thanks to which there was a fiscal balance and monetary policy ensured price stability, the labor market situation showed a gradually improving trend in recent years. The independent but constructive harmony between the two economic policy sub-areas after 2013 resulted in a permanent improvement of the macroeconomic processes of our country. However, the emerging crisis situation required a quick reaction, which fundamentally changed the short-term economic policy goals. Thanks to the consistency of monetary and fiscal policy, the Hungarian economy performed well even in the pandemic period compared to the European Union average. In the emergency situation caused by the coronavirus and the war, economic policy has found itself in a difficult situation, recovery from the crisis justifies economic recovery, while monetary tightening is needed to curb inflationary difficulties.

  • WHAT CHALLENGES DO INTRAPRENEURS WORKING AT ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERISITIES FACE?

    Abstract

    Although entrepreneurs have been researched from many different perspectives, the subgroup of internal entrepreneurs has been somewhat neglected in the literature.

    After the overview of the definition of the intrapreneur, we will examine why organisations need this type of people and what are the most important factors that facilitate or hinder the emergence and motivation of intrapreneurs.

    A literature review on the databases of Scopus and Web of Science draws attention to the fact that, despite its importance, there is little research on this topic, especially in the field of entrepreneurial universities.

    The barriers identified in the literature for internal entrepreneurs in entrepreneurial universities are presented and suggestions for further research are made.
