The digital revolution, driven and accelerated by the current pandemic, involves changes to known business models. The innovative model of the sharing economy can be a real and sustainable solution for long-term green economic development. The aim of our research was to determine the common factors of the sharing economy and the green economy and the perceptions of Romanian users regarding them. Our research questionnaire was based on the elements we found in the academic literature. To evaluate the collected data, we used the factor analysis method with the support of the SPSS program. As our study reveals, digitalization as well as inclinations towards saving are factors impacting both the propensity towards sharing and support for the green economy. The demarcation line between the sharing and the green economies is rather fluid, the two realities being under a reciprocal influence. In our model, the green economy develops according to the principles of the sharing economy, going a step further in considering the relationship between society and environment, society and sustainable, eco-friendly behaviour. Although the sharing economy is not necessarily a prerequisite of the green economy, it is, nevertheless, easy for societies or groups that have internalized the lessons of the sharing economy to move forward towards the green economy. This study can be an important tool and a first step for businesses, and, more importantly, for the Romanian public institutions to accelerate the implementation of necessary measures, including legislative ones, in order to promote the further development of these economies.
The aim of this work is to investigate what the concepts and management practices for organizations in Romania look like, in the context of environmental turbulence, complexity and uncertainty caused by a crisis similar to that caused by COVID-19. Theoretical and empirical contributions from management literature were sampled and concepts on the Agile Organization and the Resilient Organization were selected. The element of novelty consists in the creation of a new concept from the two concepts,, respectively: The Organization of Sustainable Transformation, a concept that helps organizations in Romania to understand how a performing organization which is going through a crisis on the level of the crisis caused by COVID-19 The concept presents characteristics that organizations must adopt and develop in order to perform during the crisis. The hypothesis from which we start is that organizations that prove agility and resilience go through an economic crisis, a hypothesis that will be verified in two European projects, applying the interview technique and using the investigative tool: list of questions. The series of data obtained from interviews will be analysed by qualitative methods of processing information. The originality of the work is given by the identification and realization of the concept of the Organization of Sustainable Transformation which combines elements of the concepts of the Agile Organization and the selected Resilient Organization from specialty literature. The novel concept puts forth elements that can assist organizations in persisting and generating value in an unpredictable context and future that arise due to a significant crisis.
