In the post-covid world, governments explore options to enhance their policies so that corporations can act as successful motors of recovery and sustainable growth. Countries select various objectives related to global value chains (GVC), such as participation, value capture, inclusiveness and resilience, yet might be unaware of the position of corporations they are supposed to motivate.

The research methodology used previously established scales related to service recovery satisfaction in terms of other industries, which are modified...

Máté Baksa, Imre Branyiczki
Central European Business Review 2023, 12(2):87-104 | DOI: 10.18267/j.cebr.322
The revolutionary advancement of technology in the past decade brought the attention of academics and management practitioners to ways of improving innovative capabilities of organizations. Advice-seeking relationships have an essential role in the knowledge production of modern-day organizations as they enable actors to acquire information, professional support and knowledge elements that they can recombine to form new knowledge. This paper conceptualizes advice-seeking behaviour as part of an inherently complex social world that can best be captured by a multiplex approach to organizational network research. It investigates how different layers of...

Green finance connects the worlds of finance and business with environmentally friendly behaviour. In principle, all strategic decisions made by business organisations...
