Global value chains and supply chains are an integral part of our current economy. Their investigation reveal the global-scale division of work involving a lot of firms, carriers and other stakeholders. In this system, Hungary and Hungarian companies are also deeply embedded. In the past couple of years, it became evident that these global networks are under transformation because of technological developments and other megatrends. In order to ensure that we are up-to-date with the ongoing transformation of global value chains, and to help Hungarian companies benefit from these changes, it is essential to investigate the operation and structure of these networks, the supply chains, the governance practices and innovation processes together with their impact on the local economy and potential tasks for policy-making.
The Centre of Excellence for Future Value Chains (FVC) have been established to do research on global value chains and supply chains and on their future for the benefit of the Hungarian economy. The Centre involves researchers from all three faculties of BBS.
The combination of the macro- and micro aspects in the research approach will lead to a more complex understanding of these structures, because the international flow of products and services is the sum of the values added and the economic results in the various layers of global value chains.
Centre of Excellence for Visitor Economy (CEVE)
Date of foundation: March 2023
Director: Debreceni János
Goal
Traveling, visiting, or tourism in the traditional sense is an increasingly integral part of our lives, and interactions with non-locals are becoming more and more important for a socio-economic community. The aim of CEVE is to examine the current state, connections, and future possibilities of the visitor economy, relying on the knowledge and network capital of BBS-FCHT. CEVE aims to serve tourism higher education as a knowledge-creating and knowledge-sharing community, strengthening its corporate and social relations.
Focus areas
· Research – CEVE undertakes to carry out research that, in addition to the publication of scientific publications, can help the work of the businesses and social actors involved, deepen the knowledge and broaden the horizons of tourism students in higher education. The focus of the research is always the visitor experience, the quality of the time spent visiting, the contribution of the visit to the quality of life, and the interactions that take place at the site of the visit, which often cannot be monetized or objectified.
· Dissemination – Through its scientific publications, CEVE wants to increase its scientific reputation and international recognition of BBS-FCHT. However, in comparison with other disciplines, the practical applicability and comprehensibility of research results are crucially important in the field of tourism. Therefore, CEVE specifically strives to activate social relations and to practice and develop science communication that is understandable to the general public.
