Abstract (english) | This research monograph consists of 29 articles that address the causes and
consequences of the growing uncertainties in the post-COVID world. The
chapters of the monograph deal with various areas related to the main topic
of the monograph. Part of the research deals with the effects of the uncertain
social and economic environment on companies. These contributions
address the dynamics of the labor market, the legal and economic aspects
of attracting investment, the interactions between entrepreneurship and
digitalization and the impact of uncertainty on different sectors of the economy.
The second group of contributions deals with the macroeconomic impact of
less predictable economic indicators. Contributions address government
processes responding to the potential crisis arising from changes in the tax
system, methodological challenges important for accurate macroeconomic
and government reporting, changes and responses within the government
financial system, legal aspects the supranational and national economic
systems as well as with the various issues of finance and management of
local authorities in times of uncertainty. A large part of the paper deals with the
exponential impact of ICT and digitalization processes on various economic
sectors. The new challenges of marketing, which is increasingly shifting
into the digital space, are also discussed. Finally, a number of contributions
address the emerging problems of migration, which is fundamentally affecting
the labor market across Europe and worldwide, looking in particular at the
state of student mobility and the position of universities in this dynamic
environment of human capital mobility.
As our authors explain, the transition to a sustainable economy has become
one of the EU’s key policy priorities in recent years, as it is “essential for the
well-being of our society and our planet”. The “green” and “digital” or “dual”
transition to a sustainable economy is an ongoing process that must be
facilitated not only by a strong political commitment, but also by a solid legal
framework. This trend of transition confronts current trends of deregulation
and globalization of markets, which increase the impact of risks on business
operations, while the identification and management of various forms of risks
by achieving the fundamental objective increasingly contributes to keeping a
business functioning in the modern can survive and work successfully in an
economic environment. On the other hand, at the global political level, we are
observing strong trends of deglobalization, affecting certain sectors such as
energy, technology and other goods that are defined as sensitive to national
security and interests.
All these contributions give this monograph the traditional perspective
dictated by the objectives of the conference, which includes both a
transdisciplinary and an interdisciplinary perspective on the challenges of the
growing uncertainties of the post-COVID world. We are sure that the scientific
contributions will provide interested readers with important information and
arguments. We therefore hope you enjoy reading our authors’ contributions
and hope that you will regularly attend our annual conference. |
