“…To determine the solvency level, we take the ratio of the total debt sum and the own capital. This indicator is needed because literature sources have proven the dependency between capital structure and money flow of the enterprise [14], and, therefore, the possibility to attract and implement new investments (including in the process of digital transformation).…”

The diagnostics of financial sustainability of economic subjects and the risk of bankruptcy constantly attract the attention of economists. For these purposes, a number of financial indicators have been studied and threshold values were set, above and below which the probability of bankruptcy is considered significant. The agricultural sector is an invariable field for the realization of such studies, because it is seen as highly risky due to the action of many external and internal critical factors whose influence may lead to insolvency. The present research aims to evaluate the applicability of some of the most commonly used models for analyzing financial sustainability in the agricultural sector by using financial reports over a five-year period of a representative excerpt of large and middle-sized Bulgarian firms in the agricultural sector. Crop and livestock farms have been analyzed as separate subsectors in order to determine whether the applied methods for analysis of the financial sustainability show their specifics depending on the character of their particular activity. In parallel, the authors have studied the dependency between financial health and innovative activity and proved that the higher level of digitalization presupposes better financial sustainability and reduces the risk of bankruptcy.

“…In economic research, there is no uniform understanding about the influence of digitalization on the performance and growth of enterprises. Anderton, Botelho and Reimers (2023) [21] question the effects of digitalization -from the viewpoint of whether digitalization actually secures huge profit in the productivity for the enterprises, or they have a sideshow effect with a limited impact. In the study, the authors reach the conclusion that digitalization and investment in digital technologies may not be used by all enterprises as "a 'one-size-fits-all' strategy to improve their productivity", and the results rather attest to the limited effect for most enterprises which cannot "adequately reap its productivity gains".…”

In economic research, the introduction of digital innovations in agriculture is identified as a critical factor for changing business models in terms of creating economies of scale, improving productivity and efficiency within a single farm, and creating and capturing value in the agricultural sector. The present study attempts, on the one hand, to systematize the effects of digitalization processes in relation to the crop sector from available research. On the other hand, it analyses empirical data of crop farms through the lens of digital transformation. An econometric analysis was carried out, using data from enterprises from the crop growing sector that carry out costs related to innovation activities. The scope of the study covers a period of five years.

“…Reforms in Eastern Europe show variability between countries in terms of market structures and firm productivity [82]. Thus, increased interest in studying the determinants of productivity at the firm level [83,84] can be observed, as productivity growth is seen as a driver of prosperity in Eastern Europe [85]. Then, joining the European Union (EU) produced beneficial effects for Eastern European companies, helping them increase their productivity [86,87] and achieve higher growth rates [88].…”

Approaches to the sustainable development of enterprises are a continuous concern of EU countries, contributing to the achievement of national well-being. Companies today face the combined effects of a multitude of factors that affect their results. This study was carried out to analyse the factors that influence the enterprises in the non-financial sector (industry, trade, and services). The analysis used the related data from eight Eastern European countries in the period of 2018–2020, and includes companies by country, size, number of employees, number of companies by number of employees, turnover, added value and average productivity per employee in generating turnover and added value, respectively. To carry out the study, four research questions and four possible hypotheses were used. For data analysis, generalized linear models were used, and four models were obtained and statistically validated. The obtained results led to the identification of the factors associated with the dependent variables that were the basis for the creation of the models.
