This book represents the work of a team of theorists and practitioners from various Central and Eastern European countries who offer a multidisciplinary approach to security and safety issues which companies in international and domestic trade, as well as consumers, are facing nowadays. Contributions range from the topics of terrorism and piracy, various aspects of theft and theft prevention, to the challenges of security and privacy in electronic and mobile commerce. Therefore, the book is a powerful resource in solving problems because it not only considers security, privacy, and ethical issues, among others, but also discusses how to prevent them before they occur.

``The monograph shows the level of ambition of climate goals set by the United Nations or the European Union. The authors also present the organizational and economic possibilities in terms of changes in the energy sector in Poland and Ukraine. Activities in the renewable energy segment alone, which are of a quantitative nature, may prove to be insufficient. Other modern systems and fuels must also be managed and developed. Governance in the energy sector should have a technological dimension in terms of activities and cooperation between market participants. The authors rightly note that with the progressive development of new technologies and the right strategy, the state is able to significantly improve the energy segment as a sector and increase its own energy security. Observing the complexity of the analyzed issues, an important element should be to adopt a broad perspective of the analysis.
Foreword Ten years is a long time. In 2009 a bunch of friends gathered in Portugal for a conference that was to precede TAKE. In 2011 we repeated. Then, after a strange sequence of events, we finally organized TAKE for the first time in 2015 in Aveiro, followed by Zagreb, Poznan and now Vienna. Florian Kragulj was in the first TAKE in Aveiro and from the start showed the highest level of enthusiasm and professionalism in the event. These characteristics were kept alive during all the 15 or so months during which we organized TAKE 2019. That this edition of TAKE involves several entities linked with academia, i.e. WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, the Austrian Economic Chamber a...
Foreword TAKE 2018 follows with success the two previous editions. We gather 60 papers, presented by scholars from 15 countries which address the complex relation between theory and applications in the realm of the knowledge economy. We address specific aspects of knowledge management, human resource development and management, intellectual capital and many other scientific areas relevant for the economy of today.
