“…Each and every organization has its own understanding and definition of knowledge, one that is often influenced by the company knowledge sources and information flow structure. Not all information and knowledge models are suited for all companies, each company having its own needs and requirements, especially in the long run (Gavurova et al, 2020). While some organizations are focused on technology when it comes to creating and managing knowledge, some are still 'old-fashioned', having people at the center of all their decisions (Dinca, 2020).…”

As more and more business data is generated and made available in the online environment, it makes sense for all the business components to start and take advantage of this trend. One of the components that we targeted in this paper is business knowledge, more precisely gathering enough data and information in order to generate knowledge about a business, also known as business intelligence. But this could not be done without taking into account the global pandemic that started in 2020 and continued to this day, accelerating the business digitization trend exponentially. Numerous papers related to the forced digitization of businesses due to Covid-19 have been published in 2020, most of them being focused on job loss, business model shifts, the economic impact and governmental stimulus effect in various industries. The current paper is focused on the business knowledge creation, more exactly on how and where to find data and information in an exclusively online manner about Romanian ecommerce companies, that can then be processed in order to obtain business knowledge. We researched three Romanian ecommerce websites in order to see if meaningful knowledge about their business approach can be extracted, all being done entirely from online sources, with no physical connection or relation to the targeted companies. In order to achieve this, we used public traffic data from websites like www.trafic.ro, financial data from www.listafirme.ro and also tested a few other key metrics of the websites. We managed to identify a very interesting situation concerning the three ecommerce websites while also outlining a simple workflow that can be duplicated by anyone in order to obtain basic business intelligence about Romanian internet-focused companies.

Global informatization has brought many changes to all spheres of life. At the turn of the century, it becomes clear that along with tremendous technical achievements and radical geopolitical changes, the outgoing era's main result was a change in the world's systemic properties. Ensuring safety in emergency situations is one of the most critical tasks of modern human development. The risks from these events can be catastrophic, which is why the authors devoted their research to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations, as well as the development of recommendations for improving risk management tools in emergency management in the context of global informatization.

“…In developing countries, which do not have yet implemented the high-end energy infrastructure, new technologies such as smart grid systems and IoT, demand response can become very popular (Hanger et al, 2016;Gavurova et al, 2020).…”

Nowadays electricity trading and supply are evolving rapidly due to the digitalization of the electricity industry. This evolution is also generated by the development of many new business models in the field and also by new technologies in the form of smart meters, smart grids, smart homes, demand response, artificial intelligence, peer-to-peer trading, Internet of Things or Blockchain. All these technologies together have a huge contribution to the field of electricity and jointly create the digitalization of the electricity generation, transportation, supply and trading. The aim of the research paper is to determine the degree to which consumers agree to work with an Aggregator to implement demand response. In addition, we have an interest in searching what makes them more attractive to electricity prosumers and consumers (both households and industry) as well as identifying those triggers which make electricity consumers or prosumers to start utilizing them. We have to bear in mind that Demand Side Management besides offering incentives and monetary benefits also assists end consumers and prosumers in energy management in the meaning of decreasing energy wastes and increasing the level of optimal generation and consumption. Beyond the above mentioned facts, the focus is on the decrease of carbon dioxide emissions generated by pollutant fossil fuel electricity generation and positively affecting global warming, without endangering the proper functioning of electricity systems. Education and awareness have a huge role in achieving a more rational, optimal and conscious consumption of electricity through Demand Side Management. The issue has to be raised to the level of importance and acceptance similar to what recycling of other recyclable materials have nowadays, such as paper, plastic, various metals and glass.
