The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) indicates that vulnerable industries should adapt to the increasing likelihood of extreme weather events along with slowly shifting mean annual temperatures and precipitation patterns, to prevent major damages or periods of inoperability in the future. Most articles in the literature on business management frame organizational adaptation to climate change as a private action. This makes adaptation the sole responsibility of a company, for its sole benefit, and overlooks the fact that some companies provide critical goods and services such a food, water, electricity, and medical care, that are so vital to society that even a short-term setback in operations could put public security at risk. This raises... |

A köznyelvben üzemnek nevezik azt a helyet, épületet, melyben valamilyen gazdasági egység tevékenykedik, illetve valamilyen termelő tevékenységet folytatnak. Az EU tanácsi és bizottsági jogrendszere viszont az üzemet az üzemtulajdonosok által igazgatott termelőegységként definiálja. Az angolszász országokban a farm elnevezést használják, amely bármilyen típusú mezőgazdasági üzem, vállalat lehet (family farm: családi gazdaság, cooperative farm: mezőgazdasági szövetkezet, large-scale farm: nagyüzem, small-scale farm: kisüzem stb.). Véleményünk szerint az üzem fogalma alatt magát a gazdálkodó egységet célszerű érteni, függetlenül annak jogi formájától, méretétől. Az üzem mellett szinonim fogalomként lehet alkalmazni a gazdaság, vagy a mezőgazdasági... |

The 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances provides robust information on the financing of small businesses including an overview of their firm's organization, financial characteristics, and credit use. Information from the survey is used in this study to compare the financial characteristics of urban and rural small businesses. Overall, rural small businesses have very similar financial characteristics, access to technology and financial services, sources of financial capital, and creditworthiness when compared to urban small businesses. Nonparametric rank order statistical methods were required when comparing dollar values of urban and rural small businesses because normality assumptions were violated due to the high concentration of small firms. On... |

There is widespread support from Government, media and consumers for local food networks. The profile of local food buyers and their expectations has been explored and we have some knowledge of its social, economic and environmental contribution. This research contributes by exploring the structure and scope of local food activities. This paper reports on a one year scoping study that examined local food within two contrasting countries, England and Australia. It used a literature review and interviews with key stakeholders to identify the business opportunities that exist in this sector. In conclusion there are many more local food activities in England than in Australia. Further, at a national level in both countries it remains fragmented and confused.... |

The 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances provides robust information on the financing of small businesses including an overview of their firm's organization, financial characteristics, and credit use.

On average, both food manufacturing and food retailing small businesses had positive financial characteristics. Although they were only marginally profitable and liquid, they were highly solvent. Accounts receivable and inventory comprise nearly half of food manufacturers' total assets and a third of food retailers' assets. By most financial measures, food retailers were statistically smaller than food... |
