Among others, the member states of the European Union (EU) have been studied extensively from this viewpoint, and main capitalism models have been identified. Yet, the global financial and economic crisis and its aftermath in Europe have impacted the member states' economies, typically in asymmetric ways and, in 2020, a highly diverse EU faced the COVID-19 induced economic crisis. Our study investigates the EU member states from a perspective different from the existing research on VoC in Europe: our starting point is the macroeconomic decomposition of GDP. Our findings draw up a categorisation somewhat different from the previous results: while the core of the EU is rather consistent and homogenous, clusters of the periphery do not fully coincide with geography and earlier typisations; there are also single outliers and 'New tigers of Europe' emerging. Nevertheless, the core-periphery divide still stands overall.

This setup has implications for EU level industrial policy strategies. In the current times of accelerating technological development and the ever growing servitisation of industries, ‘headquarter’ economies genuinely have better capabilities and resources to gain more share of the value added, and can actually steer the course of events in the sector. In the EU peripheries, new investment often covers relocation of previous technologies and retired assets of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The ‘factory’ economies are in a disadvantage in several aspects, while the headquarters optimise according to their own set of strate...

A monetáris unió első tíz éve sikeres volt, a második évtized nagyrészt globálisként indult, majd a valutaövezetre szűkült válság megoldásával telt. A kezdeti szakaszban ad hoc jellegű válságkezelés zajlott, majd elindultak a szisztematikusabb védőintézkedések, intézményi fejlesztések. Mindazonáltal inkább az euróövezet válságállóságát, semmint fenntarthatóságát sikerült mind ez idáig megteremteni-utóbbi még várat magára. 1

A kérdés megválaszolása érdekében először áttekintjük a közösségi versenyszabályozás legfőbb vonatkozó elemeit. Külön kitérünk az általános gazdasági érdekű szolgáltatások szabályozására. Ezután vázlatosan ismertetjük azokat a világméretű tendenciákat, amelyek a szolgáltatásáramlás transznacionalizálódását elősegítették és amelyek értelemszerűen az EU tagállamai közötti szolgáltatásáramlást is érintik Az EU versenypolitikája-a változásokra reagálva-az 1990-es évek végén szabályozási területei közé emelte a liberalizációt, amely elsősorban a szolgáltatáspiacokra értelmezhető. Bemutatjuk ezen versenypolitikai terület közelmúltbeli fejlődését is: először az intézményi-politikai kereteit vizsgáljuk meg, majd néhány releváns közösségi versenyjogi esetet. így mutatjuk be azt a konkrét folyamatot, ami a fent megfogalmazott kérdésre adja meg a választ.

The further objective is to identify how these effects relate to the ongoing transformational megatrends in the sector (digitalisation, electrification). Research Design & Methods: We have collected a large (>700 items) sample of relevant business decisions in the European automotive sector over four years (2017-2021), including those taken especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In our research, we transformed our qualitative inputs into a quantitatively analysable database through coding. Then, we applied descriptive statistical analysis on the retrieved data combined with qualitative analysis of the contents behind these data. Findings: Based on our sample, our primary finding is that the Covid-19 pandemic does trigger the already existing trends of digitalisation and electrification ...

Nevertheless, its ever growing importance means that it is worth studying it in real-time and repeatedly. Paul M. Romer, one of the laurates of the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, stated as long ago as in 1986 that the endogenous accumulation of knowledge would yield economic growth (Romer 1986). Europe belongs to the developed part of the world but there are some challenges the continent is facing in this respect. European economic actors are taking various positions in global value creation-not always the top ones, although there are positive examples as well. Also, Europe has lately been challenged by emerging economies that are quickly stepping upwards the knowledge, technology and innovation ladders. This volume targets the wide topic of the knowledge-based economy in Europe, and discusses its selected issues from a multitude of aspects. All papers included in this special issue relate to the main topic in some way. We can first find a conceptualising paper on business intelligence, competitive intelligence and knowledge management that may help businesses and scholars to better understand their essence, relations, and impact on business success. The paper is then followed by three studies discussing various business-related aspects of the knowledge-based economy in Europe: firstly, one examines the networking of family businesses considered as an essential way of constant, quasi in-built knowledge-sharing. The next one focusses on the drivers of new product development in a comparative perspective (i.e. comparing Finland and China), while the last one analyses the growth management of service-oriented micro-enterprises in sparsely populated areas. The last two papers of this special issue focus on the higher education sector as an essential part of the knowledge-based economy: we can read about the components of effective knowledge management in higher education partnerships, as well as a case study on the cultural intelligence of students as one area of human intelligence. All the papers included here were presented at the MakeLearn & TIIM 2018 international conference titled 'Integrated Economy and Society: Diversity, Creativity and Technology,' organised in Naples (Italy) on 16-18 May 2018. They have in fact been selected from a rather wide pool of submitted papers, and have undergone a double blind peer-review process before www.issbs.si/press/
Conference reports: The Lisbon Agenda in Hungary; Consciousness and unconsciousness in economic policy

For decades, club convergence applied; however, currently there is insufficient level of convergence. The club theory approach becomes increasingly significant with Brexit and the remaining EU-27 heading towards a multi-speed Europe. Overall, the economy of the EU constructs a complex system implying the existence of subsystems: clubs within the club. Dynamism is an inherent feature of the system. There are outside effects as well as factors influencing the system from inside, many of the latter rooting in the various capitalism models of the member states. In this work we analyse how the varieties of capitalism is related to convergence and complexity in the EU. In this context, the EU is an entity interpreted as a dynamic complex system of clubs comprised by countries performing a variety of capitalism.

A 2005-2008-as koordinacios ciklus alatt az Europai Unio egeszenek teljesitmenye javult, de lisszaboni celkitűzesektől elmaradt. Egyertelmű sikert a munkahelyteremtesben lehet felmutatni.

It can be pointed out that these opportunities were not utilized in the coordination cycle 2005-2008. The well-established planning was the victim of political struggles in the election of 2006. The results of the research concerning different parts of the reform are published in a book (Beata Farkas (ed.): The Lisbon process and Hungary, JATEPress, Szeged, 2007). The other subject of the research was the investigation of the re-launch of Lisbon Strategy at Union level. Over the coordination cycle 2005-2008, the performance of the European Union improved but the goals of the Strategy were not fulfilled. The greatest success was achieved in job creation. The performance of the Member States was very different that strengthened the significance of composing clusters within the EU. The results of Lisbon scorecard coincided with the varieties of capitalism developed in comparative economics: Anglo-Saxon, Nordic, Continental European and Mediterranean models. This led to the most original result of the research. I conducted a cluster analysis by indices expressing the institutional system of the Member States, extended to the New Member States as well. My statement is that the Central and Eastern European Member States form a new model of capitalism, a fifth one added to the above-mentioned four models.
