Description of the research topic:
In collaboration with the Micro-, Small- and Medium-sized Enterprise Competitiveness Research Group and the Global Competitiveness Project (GCP) led by Prof. Dr. László Szerb, a data set is available that has not been published so far and is of interest from several points of view both in Hungary both in the international level. This can have practical implications for SME managers, but it also has added value for academic researchers. On the one hand, through the processing of literature related to humanities and, on the other hand, information related to competitiveness, SME vs. supporting policies related to the development of the SME sector by demonstrating the characteristics of a large company provides an opportunity to emphasise practical elements in addition to regional differences.
In Hungary, in the EU and outside the EU, SMEs are considered to be the driving force of growth, which, in addition to sustainability, ensures employment that meets social expectations and contributes to innovation.
Possible research directions:
- The role of human capital in the competitiveness of SMEs/the regional effect
- Examination of networking and internationalisation among SMEs/the regional effect
- The innovation processes among SMEs/the regional effect
- Managerial decision-making processes among SMEs/the regional effect
