Description of the research topic:
Environmental changes impact international markets, old industrial activities based on cheap labour growth models disappear and new ones based on skills emerge. International research points out that businesses and nations alike have to change: instead of overexploiting natural and human resources, they have to invest in knowledge, skills and innovation in order to be able to avoid the development gap.
Resource scarcity warns nations and businesses about the importance of increasing effectiveness and efficiency of utilizing all types of resources. Paradigm shift is needed: instead of concentrating on the growth of the economy and business, development and sustainability indicators have to be optimized. This requires a shift from quantity to quality orientation. Countries and businesses with a one-dimensional quantity orientation may become trapped in an unsustainable past-oriented growth path with cost-based low road competition practice. Shifting however to a high road, knowledge and innovation based path would help avoiding the development trap.
This research focuses on examining the strategies of Hungarian businesses to find out how prepared they are for moving to the new development path. Do they have the necessary human and knowledge resources and organizational culture to make this necessary change? The research would also cover the aspects of national development policy influencing business choices.
