“…Companies' considerable participation in CSR programs will improve their reputation among consumers and society. The authors plan to investigate not only employee perception but also client perception from the CSR perspective in the future in the aspect of sustainability as well as industry 4.0 technologies and society 5.0 requirements (Rosak-Szyrocka et al, 2021b).…”

Understanding and promoting the CSR is an important societal issue, and circumstances force modern-minded management to abandon the classical model of only the necessary fulfilment of legally set obligations. There has been a lot of study done on employee perceptions of CSR in the workplace, but very little has been done on how employees comprehend CSR and how they received it at their work-place in chosen countries. Research was carried out based on a questionnaire survey with data collection from September 2020 to March 2021, with a total of 1103 respondents. The aim of the article is to describe the CSR concept among employees meaning in selected countries: Zimbwabwe, Czech Republic, Poland. The measuring instrument used in the study was the questionnaire method, in which the research tool is a questionnaire CAWI - Computer Assisted Web Interview. It was shown that enterprises apply CSR activities, but they are not fully aware of the CSR benefits.

“…In the era of globalisation of economic activities and open market economy systems, companies compete with each other by improving logistics, which significantly affects the efficiency of operations. In today's world, an excellent logistics system acts as a decisive factor in competition in the markets, both nationally and internationally (Rosak-Szyrocka, Żywiołek, Kulińska, and Matulewski, 2021).…”

Purpose:The aim of the article was to indicate selected risk management instruments for the identification of deviations, and threats in the flow of supply chain processes in the furniture industry. It is based on research conducted by the authors on the example of a selected company in the supply chain of a furniture industry, IKEA. Dersign/methodology/approach: The FMEA method was applied in this study. Relationships were determined on the basis of guesses, observations and conversations with people who worked or work at IKEA. The business areas involved in the flow of goods and services of the above industry were analysed. The potential type of defects was defined together with their consequences. The probability of defect occurrence was determined on a scale from 1 to 10. The RPN parameter was determined. Findings: For a given branch, the biggest area of potential defects could be problems in the sales department. The distribution department also needs significant improvement, as transport companies have significantly inflated their financial expectations and the frequency of deliveries by road transport has increased significantly due to changes in the trend of customer orders via the Internet. The computational experiment consisted of applying a newly developed random search algorithm to solve a number of cyclic delivery synchronisation problems. The results obtained by the algorithm were compared with the solutions calculated by the exact method. Practical implications: Based on the above data, a risk map of the analysed risk factors was created. The matrix shows the occurrence of hazardous situations and the impact of the risk on the enterprise, manifested in specific ranges of significance of the occurrence of risk factors. Originality value: It can be concluded that there were risk factors in the enterprise that could critically disrupt the course of processes in the sphere of procurement, production and distribution, as well as in the management of logistics processes. More critical risks occurred in the sphere of production.

“…Apart from this, there was greater speed and agility of operations. The survey of RosakSzyrocka et al (2021) in Poland showed that the main barrier to the implementation of Industry 4.0 in companies is low awareness, high cost, and a lack of support for implementing the concept. Regarding Czechia, Krajčík (2021) ex amined the digitalization of SMEs and found a slow transition, lack of strategy, and lack of funds.…”

The dependent Industry 4.0 development path of the Visegrád countries

The dependency of the Visegrád countries on foreign direct investment has been emphasized in the typologies of capitalist models. Today, the question is whether this development path can be sustained. In past years democratic backsliding and a change towards more inward-looking policies have taken place in this region that may also change their attractiveness to foreign investors. The general slowdown in capital flow can weaken the dependency of these countries on FDI, but the fourth industrial revolution can conversely strengthen it. Based on interviews we conducted with business and academic experts in the Visegrád countries, it is shown that the implementation experiences of Industry 4.0 point to the reinforcement of the duality of firm-level developments and dependency on foreign-controlled enterprises. Therefore, we argue that the FDI-based economic growth path of the Visegrád countries has led to the development of FDI-led industrial transformation.
