A review of prosumers’ behaviours in smart grids and importance of smart grid management
Get PDFPurpose: The concept of the smart grid is relatively new. The first aim of the study is to understand the behaviour of prosumers in smart grids. The other goal is to raise awareness of the management tasks and risks of smart grids by highlighting the relevant issues of some business networks (PPP projects, outsourcing, strategic alliances etc.).
Methodology: Systemized literature review was used in the paper.
Results: The discussed management problems of various business networks indicate that management challenges can also be expected in smart grids, so it is worth preparing in time.
Conclusion: We found a lack of empirical research about the behaviour of prosumers and believe that studying the electric power grid of the future from a management perspective, that is, examining the possible behaviours and decisions of various actors, can provide valuable and useful information for smart grid design and safe operation insurance
The Relationship Among Ethics and Conflict Management in Hungarian Metal and Machinery Supply Chains
No full textIt 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
A bizalmat befolyásoló tényezők vizsgálata az üzleti kapcsolatokban (Affects of Transaction cost and Social Exchange Constructs on trust In supply chain relationship)
No full textAz üzleti célú kapcsolatok vizsgálatakor legtöbbször felmerül a bizalom fogalma is, amellyel először a szociálpszichológia
és a szociológia foglalkozott. A szerző cikkében azzal foglalkozik, hogy milyen tényezők
befolyásolják a bizalmat az üzleti kapcsolatokban. Ezért magyarországi szervezeteket (elsősorban üzleti
vállalkozásokat) kérdezett meg kvantitatív módszer alkalmazásával. Ez az empirikus kutatás igyekszik a
bizalom lehető legtöbb tényezőit összegyűjteni, ahol a kérdőívben a válaszolók egyik létező – vevői vagy
beszállítói – kapcsolatukra gondolva válaszoltak a bizalmon túl a partner hírnevére, az észlelt elégedettségre
és konfliktusra, az információcserére, a lecserélhetőségre, valamint a kapcsolatspecifikus beruházásokra
vonatkozóan. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy egyik változó sem jelent kizárólagos befolyásoló erőt,
hanem közösen alakítják ki a bizalom adott szintjét. _______ This article is based on the assumption that trust promotes
commitment between partners in the supply chain and improves
the chances of return on supply chain success. In contrast,
a lack of trust between them often increases transaction
costs and results in inefficiency. The results of this research,
based on multi-country surveys with 729 returns from France,
Hungary, Korea, Tunisia and the United States on supply
chain professionals, reveals a strong affect of transaction
cost constructs (TCC) (asset specificity and behavioral uncertainty)
and social exchange constructs (SEC) (replaceability,
perceived satisfaction, partner reputation, and perceived
conflict) on trust-commitment variables in partnership based
supply chain relationships. This paper employed a structural
equation model to extract information from the survey data.
Among the findings, the research indicates that a firm’s trustcommitment
in dealing with their supply chain partnership is
highly associated with not only transaction cost, but more so
with social exchange variables. This study may open a new
research avenue in that there is another construct, SEC, beside
TSC that influences the degree of trust and commitment
Az üzleti etika aktuális kérdései
Get PDFEbben a tanulmányban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy a legfrissebb kutatások és elméleti következtetések mit árulnak el az üzleti etikáról, illetve az üzleti hálózatokban betöltött szerepéről. Az üzleti etika üzleti hálózatok felöli megközelítése speciális, valamint kevésbé kutatott terület. Tehát először röviden foglalkozunk az etika általános kérdéseivel, majd az etika jelentőségével az üzleti kapcsolatokban és -hálózatokban. Másodszor megvizsgáljuk a felvetett kérdések magyarországi megítélését az eddig
megjelent empirikus kutatások alapján. A tanulmány célja, hogy az üzleti hálózatok etikai szempontból történő kutatása során a feltett kérdéseink megalapozottak és megfelelően pontosak legyenek. Mindezzel más, vonatkozó kutatási projektet is támogathatunk új impulzusokat adva.
In this study we put ethics into the spotlight and describe what existing research reveals about the ethics and its importance for business networks. Business networks form a specific context for the study of ethics, and it seems to be little research on the topic. So we will first shortly
analyse the stands taken on defining ethics in general. Then we will address the significance of ethical behaviour for business relationships and networks. Secondly, we summarize how these topics gave appeared in Hungarian empirical studies till today. The aim of our paper is to derive well-defined and well-based questions to be posed in future research on business network ethics. With our theoretical findings we may support other relevant research projects by giving new impulses
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
