“…The ability of EECCA countries to benefit from the long-term indirect and induced advantages of the transition period depends on the extent to which their domestic supply chains facilitate the deployment of energy transformation and induced economic activity. Maximal application of social and economic benefits from energy transformation requires increasing the transition ambition, internalization of climate external effects (carbon taxes, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies), and stimulation of diversification and strengthening of deep domestic supply chains [48][49][50]. According to TES, the share of RES in Russia can reach 73% (compared to PES-35%) through the development of solar and hydropower.…”

In this study we aimed to determine the extent to which changes in the share of renewable energy sources, their structural complex, and the level of energy security in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) countries in the medium- and long-term are interconnected. The study was performed through modeling and determination of the structural characteristics of energy security in the countries. The methodology of the approach to modeling was based on solving the problem of nonlinear optimization by selecting a certain scenario. For the study, the data of EECCA countries were used. The ability of EECCA countries to benefit from long-term indirect and induced advantages of the transformation period depends on the extent to which their domestic supply chains facilitate the deployment of energy transformation and induced economic activity. This study provides an opportunity to assess the degree of influence of renewable energy sources on the level of energy security of countries in the context of energy resource diversification. The high degree of influence of renewable energy sources on energy security in the EECCA countries has been proven in the implementation of the developed scenarios for its increase. Energy security is growing. At the same time, its level depends not only on an increase in the share of renewable sources but also on the structure of energy resources complex of countries, and the development of various renewable energy sources. Therefore, today the EECCA countries are forced not only to increase the share of renewable energy sources but also to attach strategic importance to the structural content of their energy complex.

“…Different types of risks are related to internal and externals factors also within supply chain, and these related risks must be controlled by the SMEs through their action plans (Islam & Tedford, 2012;Kot et al, 2020) in order to survive. Regarding internal factors that are mainly controllable on the hands of managers, it is up to the SMEs how they manage them.…”

AbstractPersonnel risk significantly affects the operation of small and medium-sized enterprises. The aim of the paper is to define and present significant factors affecting the perception of personnel risk in the SME segment, and compare the current status and development in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The empirical research was conducted in 2020 in the SME segment in the Czech Republic and Slovakia via an online questionnaire, using a sample of 822 respondents. The obtained data were evaluated using the Chí square and Z score. Personnel risk significantly affects the SME segment and its business activities. This risk is perceived as the most significant business risk in both countries, even though its intensity is moderate and does not have a heavy negative impact on SMEs’ activities. The overall evaluation of personnel risk’s impact on SMEs’ activities is similar in both countries. The evaluation of employee turnover was relatively positive, as a considerable part of entrepreneurs stated that turnover is low and does not have a negative impact on their business. The evaluation of turnover was similar in both countries. Based on entrepreneurs’ statements, there are certain gaps in employee error rate, which affects their business. Slovak entrepreneurs provided a worse evaluation of the quality of their employees than the Czech entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs in both countries are dissatisfied with the way their employees strive to improve their performance or how they compete among each other. The comparison based on business size and age did not yield significant differences, nor did it provide a clear trend despite the general belief presented in literature that larger enterprises have a better access to important fields of business management.

“…To summarise, "[m]odularity in product designs allows the decoupling of the processes for developing new products, with stipulated platform architecture interface rules governing compatibility whilst "enabling those processes to become concurrent, autonomous and distributed," among the ecosystem complementor firms, making possible the adoption of modular business model designs (Sanchez, 1996, p121). Case analysis is a method used for explaining the concepts and expressing them through any suitable methods in social science research (Faizan & Haque, 2019;Ślusarczyk & Haque, 2019;Gusakov, Haque, & Jogia, 2020;Haque, Sher, & Urbański, 2020;Haque, Yamoah, & Sroka, 2020;Kot, Haque, & Baloch, 2020;Rahman et al, 2020;Ślusarczyk et al, 2020;.…”

There has been no research conducted that uses a holistic conceptual framework that simultaneously relates the ecosystem, platform technologies, innovations, and modularity to the firms business model. These elements are central to Tesla’s shifting of the automotive paradigm from internal combustion engine transportation to electric vehicle (EV) energy powertrains. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the ecosystem, business model, modularity and innovations of Tesla, as an illustrative case, have contributed to a new vehicular platform and business model EV paradigm. The paper draws on the strategic and operations management literature and examines the relationship between the ecosystem platform's attributes, modular innovations, and a new business model created by Tesla. Battery technology has been a focal point of the Tesla platform, and this is predicted to be an essential part of the battleground for the future of the electric vehicle automotive industry. Our analysis shows the attributes of the Tesla business model's configuration, which have been the drivers of its disruptive approach to the existing legacy automotive markets, have been instrumental in creating and capturing value for its continual platform development.
