“…Renewable energy is currently the best solution to global warming and climate change and is one of the most promising technologies that might change facilitate the management of energy resources. In order to explore the obvious potential of renewable energy, researchers look at all aspects from energy efficiency to energy storage and storage technologies [79][80][81]. These aspects can be roughly divided into three categories: energy efficiency, energy storage, and renewable energy [82].…”

This research tackles effective and functional management practices in energy consumption using advanced technological solutions to mitigate unexpected events. This study specifically focuses on the recent COVID-19 pandemic that led to a reduction in energy consumption and therefore meddled with the project management’s status quo for the energy sources. Moreover, this research analyzes the role of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions in energy management before and after the recent coronavirus pandemic turmoil. This study also examined the role and place of sustainable energy resources in the effective management of energy consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the recent coronavirus pandemic affected energy consumption and energy prices in many countries and how it paved the way for the new ICT in managing energy consumption. This study elaborated a model to show how these changes evolved in selected European Union (EU) Member States. It turns out that adjusted electricity consumption, as well as the average daily spot electricity prices for the baseload power in the EU countries, declined, and this trend is likely to continue in the next years to come. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial changes in the economy led to reduced office space usage, cutting commuting and business trips, and bringing commercial travel almost to a halt, further shifting the energy balance towards renewable energy sources (RES). Besides, it becomes apparent that ICT solutions used in maintaining and superintending the energy balance are gaining popularity and wide recognition worldwide and will help pave the way towards modern and smart high-renewables grids.

“…Under the proposed notation of modern industrial policy, in addition to promoting economic growth, industrial policy can also focus on protecting the most critical national interests in the fields of energy and defence (Kiseľáková et al, 2018;Tvaronavičienė, Ślusarczyk, 2019;Plėta et al, 2020). All these notations contradict with the position of those who argue that the best industrial policy is competition policy itself only.…”

The coming fourth industrial revolution means many inevitable changes in firms' competition and the challenges they pose to industrial and competition policies. Therefore, to examine how it is going to affect competition and competition policy, this paper reviews the related literature of industrial policy, industrial organization and new trade theory. For this purpose, employing the semi-systematic review method, the report explores the theoretical background of the Industry 4.0 policy carried out by the EU, how it affects its competition policy and what threats it imposes to competition between firms. We have come to conclusions that the fourth industrial revolution might be quite challenging for the sustainability of firm's competition and the structure of industry and markets. However, the 'soft' EU industrial policy adequately addresses this problem by supporting SMEs with innovation and R&D to ensure sustainable competition in the long term.

“…The article aims to develop a new type of management model which focuses on the cybersecurity of CIs and ensures full protection of all of the types of Cis. It is important to remember that there is not a possible "one solution fits all" model, as each company or organization possesses different types of infrastructures and technical aspects (Plėta et al, 2020a;Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC, 2013). The article will then employ a scientific analysis that takes from pre-existing frameworks regulating cybersecurity management, such as the COBIT 2019 model offered by the global association ISACA (ISACA, 2018).…”

Purpose – in this article, the authors propose a management model for Critical Infrastructure cybersecurity, further development of a model developed by Limba, Plėta, Agafonov, and Damkus (2017). Research methodology – methodology consists of researching the best practices in cybersecurity management for Critical Infrastructures and evaluating the best element to be included. The article offers an overview of the model, including structure and objectives, and further analysis that focuses on pre-existing CI management frameworks. Findings – main results show that, although previously published protocols and models contain valuable elements, there is still the need to implement a comprehensive model which can be applied to every type of CI. Research limitations – research might have been limited due to the lack of a unitary approach to cybersecurity management for CI, meaning the lack of possibility of reference to a similar model and approach. Practical implications – model which is presented in the article could offer a new approach to CI protection strategies and could be the beginning of a more structured approach towards their protection. Originality/Value – model was created by the authors with references to past published protocols and models, which are present in the quotation in the text as well as the bibliography.
