This study undertakes an assessment of disruptive innovation within the automobile production industry, aiming to uncover implementation challenges and opportunities. Recognizing the pivotal role of disruptive innovation in driving economic growth and sustainability within the automotive sector, this research addresses a notable gap in the literature pertaining to the relationship between disruptive innovation and firm performance. Through a quantitative research methodology, employing an exploratory research design, data were gathered from 99 industry professionals via an online survey hosted on LinkedIn. Analysis of the collected data was conducted using SPSS Statistical Software, facilitating both descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings reveal that disruptive innovation indeed facilitates new market creation, cost-effectiveness, customer-centricity, and the development of unique capabilities. However, challenges such as staff capacity constraints, financial pressures, rapid pace of disruption, and regulatory ambiguity impede its efficacy. Moreover, the study highlights the significant impact of deployment costs and regulatory standards on the effectiveness of disruptive innovation in fostering new market creation and achieving cost-effectiveness.

The economic security and management of information are crucial elements for the functioning of stakeholders in the free market economy in the XXI century. Indeed, they are inherently interlinked as well. Firstly, without an adequate level of security, information or finance, it is impossible to ensure the stable and sustainable functioning of businesses in the free market economy.

Innovation is vital for an outstanding performance and over the top results. It is a complex concept with multiple perspectives which should be always situated in the center of attention. For creating the premises of a successful innovation, its measurement and impact should be analyzed both on the theoretical level as well as on the practical dimensions of the industrial organizations.

Technology is increasingly a transversal layer to all activities and, in this sense, exploring the potential of technology as a driver to support the competitiveness of organizations and nations has become a necessity for survival. Tourism is a fundamental asset in many modern economies and certainly fundamental from a civilizational and generational point of view, insofar as associated with a wide range of tourist destinations is its heritage.

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are the main force for economic growth, but at the same time an extremely vulnerable sector, which constantly needs support from the state. Thus, one of the basic tasks in the state regulation of the activity of this sector involves the development of policies aimed to support small and medium business.

With upcoming new smart technologies, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have to deal with the implementation of industry 4.0 and smart principles. Being known for their constraints in human, technical, and financial resources, SMEs may struggle in the transition phase during introducing industry 4.0. A case study from the Czech Republic should shed some light on the opportunities and issues of the introduction of industry 4.0 in an SME in practice.

Full involvement of employees in improving enterprises and their processes is one of the flagship assumptions in modern management methods. A widely used solution supporting this approach is the employee suggestion systems (ESS), allowing the use of the intellectual potential and creativity of own staff.
