| Continuing economic turbulence has fuelled debates about social and political reform as much as it has stimulated actions and initiatives aimed at a more fundamental transition of dominant economic systems. This paper takes a transition perspective to explore, from a Western European viewpoint, how the economic crisis is actually viewed through a variety of interpretations and responded to through a range of practices. We argue that framing societal phenomena such as the economic crisis as "symptoms of transition" through alternative narratives and actions can give rise to the potential for (seemingly) short-term pressures to become game changers. Game changers are then defined as the combination of: specific events, the subsequent or parallel framing of... |

| The research aims to investigate the process of globalizing innovation activity conducted by transnational corporations (TNCs), in a wider context of economic changes outside and inside companies. The process has been triggered by decentralization and internationalization of R&D, “creative transition” of foreign subsidiaries as well as implementing research networks and the open innovation model of TNCs’ innovation activity. Under the present economic crisis some slowdown and reorientation of innovation programs are implemented in order to reduce their costs and increase effectiveness. The globalization of corporate innovation activity can contribute to reaching some of TNCs’ goals both under the present crisis and the future revival of the world... |

| The Cretan tourism sector has been characterised by a large and rapid growth from 1970 to 2000 and has gone on the primary industry of the island. Despite the fact that this growth has seemed stagnant over the last few years, tourism is still of vital importance for the local economy. Agricultural industries are strongly linked with tourism activities and usually derive numerous benefits from them. Understanding tourists’ opinions and demands plays a crucial role in implementing appropriate and sustainable future agricultural offer strategies on the island in the future. As several studies have previously indicated, the current global economic and financial crisis has deeply cut household expenditure and 2009 has been predicted to be a difficult year for... |

| A múlt áttekintése, a jelen értékelése és a jövő körvonalai ismét megerősítik azt a megállapítást – amely a rendszerváltás idején is megfogalmazódott –, hogy azok a környezeti (éghajlat, víz, hőmérséklet), történeti, tradicionális (évszázados szakmakultúra), technológiai (új, korszerű rendszerek) előnyök, amelyek a magyar élelmiszer-gazdaság nemzetközi előnyeit alapozták, pillanatok alatt köddé válnak, eltűnnek a nem megfelelő piaci munka, marketingtevékenység hiányosságai miatt. Ezért a jövő élelmiszer-gazdaságának kulcsszerepű eleme a tudatos és szisztematikus marketingstratégia-építés és a közösségi marketingtevékenység állami gondolkodásba történő beépítése. Ez egyben a CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) mellett a nemzeti agrárstratégia építését is... |
