The purpose of the study is to examine the roles of universities in the development of the regional economy, namely in the formation of clusters, as well as to analyze the changes in these roles depending on various reasons. The authors used the methods of induction, analysis, synthesis, comparison, and document analysis. The study is based on the triple helix model, which assumes the interaction of the university, industry and public authorities. The conceptual framework has been applied to the analysis of the activities of one of the Russian universities. The final section presents factors explaining the transformation of the role played by higher education institutions in regional development. The results of the study show the conditions on which university participation in the development of regional clusters depends and how it can provide a basis for the sustainable functioning of the universities themselves.

The subject of the study is the differences in managerial and cultural values that are important for mutual understanding and interaction between Russia and China, countries with significant influence on the world economy and international relations. The study is particularly relevant in the context of business negotiations and management, where respect for values and beliefs inherent in other cultures is critical to successful cooperation. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the methods of G. Hofstede, R. Lewis, P. Ghemawat and others in the field of cultural differences and to compare their findings and conclusions with the results of a survey of Russian managers to verify the cultural characteristics contained in the literature and to prove their viability in practice. The results of the work confirmed the conclusions made by the above-mentioned academicians. The authors of the study defined the Russian culture as multi-active, highlighting the similarities and differences between the cultures of Russia and China. In both countries, the younger generation prioritizes personal career goals and financial success, which significantly changes the work process in terms of shifting values and orientations. The findings could provide valuable information for businesses and policymakers in these countries. The need to identify the cultural characteristics of Chinese managers and to better understand the cultural differences between Russia and China necessitates further research.

At present, aromas are increasingly used in multisensory in-store communication to create a more enjoyable purchasing environment that can influence consumer emotions, behaviour and decision-making. We often do not realise the power of an aroma's influence on our mood, but its influence at the point of sale makes sense, of course, if it is used correctly. It is possible to monitor the impact of aromas on consumers' emotions in a variety of ways, whether through classical research methods implemented at a conscious level or through more advanced methods. Obtaining more accurate data on consumers' emotions in this way makes it possible to create a purchasing atmosphere that contributes to increased sales and, ultimately, profit. This paper explores the impact of aromas on consumers' emotions by applying different research methodologies, with the place of implementation being the real-world conditions of the selected retail establishment. The evaluation of the data obtained in the aromatisation and non-aromatisation periods confirmed that the importance attributed to aroma marketing in commercial establishments is well founded. At the same time, by comparing the results, we have identified differences in the conscious and unconscious evaluation of the impact of aromas on consumers' emotions, confirming the practical importance of implementing and using various techniques in research.

Retail assortment optimisation plays a significant role in the success and competitive advantage of retailing, contributing to companies' market differentiation, compatibility, and profitability. This study applies transaction cost theory, related opportunism, and bounded reliability as theoretical frameworks. The aim is to analyse assortment optimisation, especially selection-reduction decisions, in relation to the manufacturer-retailer relationship in grocery store retailing. Primary quantitative research in the form of a personal survey method about the delisting decisions of 215 grocery retail executives was implemented and analysed by applying partial least squares variance-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results show that the reason for selection reduction is often the bounded reliability of manufacturers, as this may lead to excessively high supplier prices and logistical problems. These factors result in low retail margins, justifying assortment-reduction-related decisions. However, manufacturers believe that a lack of marketing support has no impact on low retail margins and, thus, also on assortment reduction decisions.

The corporate wisdom propounds mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as a notable strategy for extensive (non-organic) growth in the market and, as a result, gaining financial advantage and strategic superiority and ascendancy along the way. Hence, this instrument undeniably occupies the highest ranks of instruments for corporate management. Considering all aforementioned, the work object is to research to which extend the macroeconomic indicators have an effect on the annually aggregated volume of mergers and acquisitions, entered within the United States of America in the historical period of 1985–2021. The subject of the study is defined as U.S. mergers and acquisitions market. By employing the ordinary least square method of a multiple linear regression equation, it was determined that logarithmic GDP growth together with the discount rate had a significant positive effect on the explanation of the dependent variable, while the 10-year US Treasury bond yield had a negative relationship. Further, several statistical tests were conducted to ensure the authenticity of results obtained and potential for utilization of the model for the purpose of estimation forward values. The practical significance of the research is recognized as uncovering econometric model for the purpose of forecasting mergers and acquisitions volumes, resulting in effective corporate management decisions with regard to timing and market sentiment.

Both globally and in Hungary, agriculture is one of the industries that is most vulnerable to weather and climate extremes. Intense temperature rises, spatial and temporal variations in precipitation, and significant changes in extreme climatological and weather parameters have contributed to changes in the conditions of cropland, crop losses, and impacts on crop quality in recent years. This paper depicts the transformation of the domestic agricultural sector due to the extreme drought shock of 2022, as well exploring the adaptation strategies applied. The research is based on official agro-climate database and crop data, and the temperature, precipitation, and radiation during the growing season are all examined. The agro-meteorological properties in Hungary had to be investigated for the entire year and all four of its seasons, with indicator analysis projected onto the ever-increasing and dormant seasons. Long-term climate analysis is necessary to understand the historic drought of 2022 and the success of future adaptation and mitigation techniques. The results can help smallholders effectively reduce the adverse impacts of drought conditions, thereby increasing their adaptation to similar shocks.

The present study aimed to assess the nomological validity of the Assessment Centre (AC). More specifically, the authors investigated the relationship between theoretically related personality variables and AC ratings in a personnel selection procedure. Previous studies have reported contradictory findings regarding the nomological validity of the Assessment Centre. We identified shortcomings in the previous studies and demonstrated the nomological validity of the AC in a relatively large sample of line manager candidates (N = 314). Our results are in harmony with trait activation theory, and this confirms the nomological validity of Assessment Centres. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Covid-19's emergence has significantly impacted the world, its workplaces and the motivation of employees. This study aims to determine the impact of how Covid-19 is perceived on employees' intrinsic motivation. It also aims to discover whether a motivational hypnosis session may influence the pandemic's effects, given that hypnosis is a well-known mental intervention that has been used for centuries to treat and help people in domains as varied as therapy, sports, education, and more recently, business. A three-step qualitative experimental study took place, involving ten employee volunteers. The first step was a first questionnaire exploring the effect of their perceptions of Covid-19 on their motivation. A motivational hypnosis session (written to increase employees' intrinsic motivation from the emotional intelligence framework) took place afterwards; the last step was a second questionnaire answered by the workers 48 hours after the session. Results showed that Covid-19 had slightly less of a negative effect on managers' motivation, which was 79% compared to non-executive employees' 87%. The motivational hypnosis session helped only two out of the ten employees to reduce the effects of the way they perceived the pandemic. However, it did have positive impact as it increased employees' intrinsic motivation. Future research on using hypnosis for the benefit of employees should therefore be conducted.

The paper advances knowledge in the field of international human resource management (HRM) by elaborating on the relationship between cultural intelligence and cross-cultural adjustment, which has important implications for the productivity of an organisation whose employees form multicultural teams or operate in foreign locations and thus its international competitiveness. The basic axis of the relationship is extended into a complex model in which three categories of factors are reflected in parallel: the mental adjustment of the individual (expressed by the variables of life satisfaction and ethnocentrism), the contextual influence of the environment (operationalised as a cultural novelty), and time (in the form of culture shock). The indirect effects of these three mediators and the direct effect of ethnocentrism on these mediators are simultaneously examined. Using the PLS-SEM statistical technique on a sample of 120 foreigners working in the Czech Republic, a robust relationship was confirmed between cultural intelligence and cross-cultural adjustment, best explained by the mediator of life satisfaction. A significant specific indirect effect was also found of the mediator of culture shock on the relationship between cultural intelligence and cross-cultural adjustment. However, our data did not support the variable of cultural novelty as a mediator of the relationship.
