The Changing Role of SMEs in Global Business
SMEs are significant job creators and drivers of innovation and competition in most economic sectors. Furthermore, the traditional constraints of small and medium enterprises, such as geographic operations, are now being dissolved by technological developments. This means that there are new opportunities for SMEs, and their fundamental principles are being redefined: the aims, competencies, strategy, management, practice, and scope of these businesses are changing, with wide-ranging implications. This is the second part of a two volume work that incorporates scientific chapters on SME business theory and practice. Authors provide a balanced perspective of the present and future of SMEs across all business disciplines, for example management, strategy, marketing, economics and finance. While Volume I focuses on the individual SME and internal issues such as innovation, quality, and digitization, this second volume explores external issues such as contextual forces, the effects of the financial crisis, and macro-economic effects.

Innovation, Internationalization and Entrepreneurship
Over the past years, businesses have had to tackle the issues caused by numerous forces from political, technological and societal environment. The changes in the global market and increasing uncertainty require us to focus on disruptive innovations and to investigate this phenomenon from different perspectives. The benefits of innovations are related to lower costs, improved efficiency, reduced risk, and better response to the customers’ needs due to new products, services or processes. On the other hand, new business models expose various risks, such as cyber risks, operational risks, regulatory risks, and others. Therefore, we believe that the entrepreneurial behavior and global mindset of decision-makers significantly contribute to the development of innovations, which benefit by closing the prevailing gap between developed and developing countries. Thus, this Special Issue contributes to closing the research gap in the literature by providing a platform for a scientific debate on innovation, internationalization and entrepreneurship, which would facilitate improving the resilience of businesses to future disruptions.

Ekologistyka w systemie zarządzania odpadami niebezpiecznymi
Tematyka badawcza monografii obejmuje opis przedsięwzięć projektowych w logistyce, które są związane z działaniami poprawiającymi zdrowotną jakość życia obywateli poprzez zaprezentowanie koncepcji systemu logistycznego z rozwiązaniami sprzyjającymi realizacji trwałego, zrównoważonego rozwoju w gospodarce odpadami zawierającymi azbest. Na poziomie teoriopoznawczym wykorzystano transdyscyplinarne podejście do problemu badawczego w sześciu obszarach wkomponowanych w rozwiązania koncepcyjne logistyki: 1) logistykę, 2) zarządzanie interesariuszami, 3) modeli biznesu, 4) zrównoważonego rozwoju, 5) zdrowia publicznego, 6) technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych. W warstwie aplikacyjnej przyjęto założenie, że wolne tempo usuwania azbestu ze środowiska wynika z barier związanych z niewłaściwym wykorzystaniem zasobów ludzkich, finansowych, rzeczowych, informacyjnych. Przedstawione wariantowe rozwiązania ekologistyczne posiadają uzasadnienie biznesowe, uwzględniają zasadę zrównoważonego rozwoju i powinny skutkować efektywniejszym wykorzystaniem zasobów i związanych z nimi procesami logistycznymi w gospodarce odpadami niebezpiecznymi.

It determines the rationality of designing business models. A value proposition is a factor that determines whether a company with a particular business model will succeed or not. Value is also important in non-profit organizations and building sm...
