“…Determining the Spearman rank correlation between the obtained rank and selected demographic, economic, and education-related variables. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient is more appropriate than Pearson's linear correlation coefficient in the case of outliers [89] in the sample, or for a small number of observations [90]. It is calculated according to the formula below [91]:…”

Pro-Environmental Behaviour in the European Union Countries

2021

The purpose of the presented research is to assess pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) in European Union countries in 2009 and 2019. The study used a synthetic measure developed using the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) benchmark method. This method enables distinguishing classes and ranks of countries depending on the adopted characteristics. Basic measures of descriptive statistics, i.e., average, standard deviation and the coefficient of variation, were used in the analysis of the data set. The main research question addressed in this study concerns the relationship between the level of PEB and economic, demographic, and educational factors—not only on a micro scale but also from the macroeconomic perspective. The research has revealed a wide variety throughout the European Union (EU-27) countries in terms of pro-environmental behaviour. Sweden, Finland, and Denmark top the ranking, while Malta, Greece, Spain, and Romania are at the bottom of it. Northern European countries can therefore be identified as a group that represents a positive benchmark in terms of PEB across the European Union (EU-27). The correlation between PEB and selected economic, demographic, and education-related variables was also investigated. Country-level PEB is correlated with demographic and economic variables, but it is not correlated with education-related variables.

“…Central authorities decide on the co-financing of individual RES. In addition, the government authorities set the conditions for the sale of the energy produced from the photovoltaic installation (Klepacki et al, 2021). These solutions have a large impact on the decisions of investors, because they affect the economic efficiency of the operation of photovoltaic installations.…”

The countries of the Visegrad Group (V4) face serious challenges related to increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) and the energy mix. One of the elements connected with the achievement of higher use of RES is the development of photovoltaics. The countries of the Visegrad Group still have untapped potential to increase energy production based on photovoltaic installations. However, this will require the implementation of solutions that will, on the one hand, encourage investors to choose this type of RES, and on the other hand, invest in obsolete transmission networks and energy storage. The aim of the article is to analyse the conditions related to the development of photovoltaics in the Visegrad Group countries, with particular emphasis on the further development of RES until 2030. The article also demonstrates the potential of solutions associated with the adaptation of industrial networks to the changing conditions in this sector (e.g. the growing number of prosumers). Moreover, the importance of storing energy from photovoltaic installations was emphasized, which will allow the stabilization of the energy system.

Digitalization Business Strategies in Energy Sector: Solving Problems with Uncertainty under Industry 4.0 Conditions

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Digital transformation is a concept based on the use of digitalization and digitization. Digitalization leads to change of business models and provides a competitive advantage also in the energy sector. The process of change towards a digital business requires a specific strategy type, aimed to solve problems with uncertainty caused by Industry 4.0 implementation. This paper aims to propose a theoretical model combining different digitalization strategies and business models. Their theoretical foundations were discussed in the literature review part and related empirical research questions were attempted to be answered by the reference method analysis. The quantitative method of analysis was based on the secondary data from Eurostat for all EU member states and backed the theoretical part in terms of ICT variables. The novelty of this research is based on Hellwig’s reference method used in management sciences and the presented managerial implications. The discussed challenges of the energy sector are related to the digital strategy implementation, relationships between digital transformation and business models, and solutions for such issues as strategy communication and new roles for managers, who should become digital leaders in the energy sector organizations. The main consequence of the proposed model in this study, for the energy sector companies’ managers, is that uncertainty in modern energy sector organizations is more related to employees and their technical skills than implemented ICT itself.
