“…The extent of globalization is also illustrated by statistical data; for example, German and French trading companies produce nearly 40 percent of their sales on foreign markets (Deloitte, 2016). The international retailers have been looking for new market opportunities as a result of the saturation of the internal markets, and in many cases, to enter the markets of developing countries have required less effort (Ag ardi et al, 2017).…”

“…In the literature, several researchers have studied the impact of participation in international markets on business performance. Researchers found out that expansion in the region, in the case of geographically and culturally closed countries, has a positive impact on business performance (the well-established business models do not require major changes in these counties), whereas markets require greater adaptations and higher cost levels in the case of farther and characteristically different countries (Agárdi et al , 2017; Hitt et al , 2006; Sohl, 2012; Oh et al , 2015).…”

PurposeChanges in food retailing (globalization, concentration) have negative impacts on smaller, “traditional” food retail businesses. Their market share decreasing year by year. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the financial performances of these businesses under the given circumstances and current economic environment in a Hungarian and a Romanian county.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on two complete databases, including all companies that behoove retail food activity (considering the NACE cod) in the counties of Hajdu-Bihar (Hungary) and Cluj (Romania). The database analyzed contains the financial statements for five consecutive years for 212 and 690 businesses. Databases were examined by the most typical financial indicators using the multivariate and univariate analysis of variance and the k-medoid cluster analysis methods.FindingsThe results of the analysis have shown that there are differences in the number of retail food companies in the case of two counties, both in number and in financial performance. Companies in Hajdú-Bihar county perform better in terms of financial ratios than those in Cluj county. The groups created by k-medoids cluster analysis are relatively well distinguished in the case of Hajdú-Bihar county, while the picture is much more mixed in the case of Kolozs county. However, it is also important to note that the companies analyzed should generally perform better to survive.Research limitations/implicationsAmong the limitations of the study, it is important to note that the findings are relevant only to the two counties examined. Another limiting factor is that quite several companies had to be excluded from the analysis due to missing data or outliers.Practical implicationsThe study presents for the corporate decision-makers the current performance of the companies of the sector examined in the two counties. The results of the study highlight the business areas of concern in management. The findings show that they need to change this performance to strengthen their market position. We believe that it is not enough to complain about the expansion of the supermarket chains, but they should take appropriate actions to improve their situation. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a need to improve the financial efficiency of retail food companies in both counties to survive in the long run. This improvement is essential because retailers can play an important role in smaller settlements and narrower residential environments.Originality/valueComparative analysis of retail food companies in similar counties in these two neighboring countries has not been conducted using complex financial analysis. The study revealed the common and/or individual characteristics of these companies.

“…Process innovation is often technological and digitalisation can also play a key role in the introduction of new channels, automation of warehousing, tracking, planning and control, and distribution management (Agárdi, Berezvai & Alt, 2017). Several EU SME competitiveness studies have shown that the digitalisation of firms has become a critical factor in their competitiveness and is expected to further increase its role in firm performance in the near future (Boikova, Zeverte-Rizva, Rivza & Rivza, 2021;Galindo-Martín, Castano-Martínez & Méndez-Picazo, 2023).…”

Research on competitiveness and internationalisation of companies is a critical academic field. There are infinite numbers of studies which investigate how to improve SME competitiveness, the impact of SME internationalisation on innovation, SMEs international performance, or the digital transformation of SMEs. Innovation is decisive for market competitiveness and efficiency and some research show that European SME innovations can rarely be seen as pioneering or groundbreaking. My research focuses of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises. In some research, recurring success factors can be identified (Berényi & Deutsch, 2021). In my early research, I investigated the importance of the SME sector (Szanyi-Gyenes, Mudri & Bakosné Böröcz, 2015; Szanyi-Gyenes, 2019), factors of a successful international growth of a small company (Szanyi-Gyenes, 2017), later on the management and the management’s attitude in the company’s success (Szanyi-Gyenes & Almási, 2021), future competitiveness aspects of domestic companies from the internationalisation perspective (Marciniak et al., 2022), the digitalization factors of domestic companies from the internationalisation and competitiveness perspective (Szanyi-Gyenes & Almási, 2023) and the effects of internal barriers of domestic companies on competitiveness. The research model describe how the competitiveness, the internationalisation dimension, and the role of the company’s manager are linked. The role of leadership is crucial to success, the reason is that strategic orientation, recognition of growth options, resource management, creating a mission-friendly organisational structure are all leadership capacities in the SME sector. Results has shown that managers and employees of enterprises have a diverse perception and evaluation of the performance of their enterprise, and that the concept of success is more complex and contains elements based on perceptions. The manager’s attitude towards success significantly determines the strategic orientation of the enterprise, the attention and resources devoted to specific areas of operation. Examining companies operating in the international market and those operating only in the domestic market, companies present on the international market showed better scores in all the dimensions examined. They are characterised by continuous strategic renewal, a strategy broken down to the individual level, the use of technological innovation and openness to innovation. The leadership style is also supportive of strategic objectives and the 2 transformational leadership style is more typical. These companies are constantly seeking to maintain a competitive edge through new strategic initiatives, have a more individualised strategic plan, have a well-defined and known decision-making process, incorporate available information into the decision-making process, have responded more effectively to unexpected environmental challenges in times of pandemics, are more attentive to the use of digital technologies and perform better in terms of workflow efficiency. The results show that technological changes, including the challenges of digitalization, are more challenging for larger companies and have the least impact on companies after the early period. Companies should be more open to innovation and digitalization, to develop employees’ skills and suggest management support and risk taking. Companies that are also present in the international market perceive the impact of technology, including digitalization, as stronger and pay more attention to the use of digital technologies, compared to domestic companies that perceive the impact of technological change as less of a challenge. These companies perform better in improving work process efficiency, identifying new practices and allocating resources accordingly. Digitalization can become a key to the future success of a company if managers change their management style and decision-making mechanisms. Finally, focusing on barriers to competitiveness shows, that inhibiting factor is clearly linked to internationalisation too. Firms also present on the international market are likely to have the necessary specialised expertise, such as sales knowledge, and thus perceive expertise as less relevant as a barrier. To be more competitive, it is recommended to look for strategic opportunities where companies can be involved in international processes, thus making the organisation more open to innovation, new opportunities can bring more effective operation, employees will be more motivated, thus reducing the impact of inhibiting factors.

Bilicz dáVid a hálózatok és a kapcsolatok szerepe az innovációban és a tudás áramlásában szisztematikus szakirodalmi áttekintés A tanulmány célja, hogy a szisztematikus irodalomelemzés módszerével feltárja a tudáshálózatok tudásáramlásban betöltött szerepével foglalkozó nemzetközi szakirodalom eredményeit. Három fő elemzési szintet vizsgál -egy adott együttműködés, a vállalat partnereinek összessége, illetve a teljes hálózat szintje -, amelyek szerint az irodalomelemzésbe bevont publikációk vizsgálódtak. Összességében elmondható, hogy a központibb szerep általában pozitívan hat egy szereplő tudásszintjére, illetve a kisebb résztvevők központi szereplőkhöz való csatlakozása is előnyös. A hálózati sűrűség szempontjából közel sincs egyetértés arról, hogy a sűrű vagy a ritka hálózat előnyösebb a tudásáramlás szempontjából, utóbbi kifejezetten pozitív lehet olyan szereplők számára, akik sok más résztvevő között képesek tudást közvetíteni. Továbbá a hálózatok résztvevői közötti hasonlóságok és különbözőségek is befolyásolhatják a tudásáramlást és az innovációs képességet. * Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: L14, O19, O30.* a tanulmány az innovációs és Technológiai minisztérium únKP-20-3 kódszámú új nemzeti Kiválóság Programjának a nemzeti Kutatási, fejlesztési és innovációs alapból finanszírozott szakmai támogatásával készült. Köszönettel tartozom a tanulmány megírása során nyújtott segítségéért Somogyiné Komlósi Évának, Varga Attilának és Sebestyén Tamásnak, valamint a névtelen lektornak a hasznos észrevételeiért. a cikk tartalmáért természetesen teljes egészében a szerző felelős.
