The research hypothesis H1 is advanced: the scope of business objects affects the selection of enterprise competitive potential components. The concept and nature of competitiveness are discussed and the subject matter of enterprise competitive potential is detailed. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical section follows a thorough review of leading specialist literature. The empirical part, on the other hand, uses the exploratory factor analysis, which detects an optimum group of main factors and explains correlations among observable variables, serves to verify the hypothesis. The number of factors is determined by means of the Cattell scree and Kaiser criteria. Findings: The paper contains the results of research into 253 large enterprises in the Polish economy. Exploratory factor analysis is employed to define the statistically significant components of competitive potential of enterprises active in the initial phase of the economic crisis and the effect of business objectives is explored on the selection of the components of enterprise competitive potential. It is shown that, regardless of business objects, three factors, namely, innovative machinery and equipment, the financial condition of an enterprise, and human capital, are the key components of enterprise competitive potential. Practical implications: The results can be utilised by entrepreneurs as a guide to the selection of the components of enterprise competitive potential at the times of crises. Originality/value: The paper presents the results of original research into a representative group of large enterprises which can be generalised to the entire population assuming a confidence level of α = 95% and maximum error of β = 6%.

The study presents also the problems of the contemporary global economy in sustainable development. Findings: The study analyses the functioning of enterprises in the 21sr century, taking into consideration further surroundings as well as technological, economic and social changes, including economic crises and the current pandemic. It presents and discusses socio-economic data and trends in the EU where, due to the epidemic, internal differences, economic and political issues, too slow development, lack of effective border protection. The above serves as a background for presentation of management elements and trends in organization of the future. Currently, marketing, finance, profit, strategies, HR, innovativeness, modern management methods, forms of organization, etc. play an important role in enterprises. On the other hand, IT elements already have an important and increasing position, especially in the face of the pandemic, remote work and global crisis. As shown by the survey-based studies carried out at the beginning of 2020, employees value health, work, family, economic, social and even ecological elements. These are, therefore, the survival-related needs according to the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, especially in the face of the pandemic, remote work and global crisis. Even though economies are opening today, the situation related to the pandemic worldwide is still uncertain. Hope is pinned, particularly to the countries of the West, upon the vaccines, medicines, modern management methods and new technologies.

Companies operating on the market have to cope with a variety of crisis situations which may adversely affect their development and jeopardise the achievement of their objectives. A crisis situation may, on the one hand, have a negative impact on the development of the company, but, on the other hand, it may provide a stimulus and have a constructive effect on its functioning. One of the factors influencing the ability to function of a business, including crisis situations, is its organisational culture. Therefore, a company responding to the situation should assess the conditions both in its environment and inside it and verify the artefacts, the system of values and the main principles that are the basis for building an organisational culture. Many companies that are dealing with a crisis situation decide to undertake a conscious process of cultural transformation. However, it requires the management to take appropriate actions and the time of a crisis situation is a test for many companies – whether in such a difficult moment something can still be done with the organisational culture, or whether the entrepreneurs can only wait for its inevitable impact on the functioning of the company. The subject of this article is the impact of a crisis situation on changes occurring within the organisational culture. The study attempts to evaluate the role of organizational culture in crisis situations based on the current state of knowledge and crisis events related to COVID-19

The human factor is evidently known to be an integral part of every process in any enterprise and plays an important role in managerial activities. Research to date confirms that the main cause of problems in enterprises is often just the human factor. Currently, there is a growing interest of managers to assess and reduce personnel risks. This article examines the results of a research that focuses on the variability of personnel risks as perceived by owners and managers of enterprises in Slovakia and compares them with the results in the V4 countries. The article also provides an assessment of personnel risks and their sources in relation to how long the investigated V4 enterprises have been in business. The results of the article are based on a survey realized by the authors among 422 enterprises in Slovakia in the years 2019-2020 and a survey conducted by a broader research group including the authors among 1,781 enterprises across the V4 countries in the years 2017-2018. The following statistical methods were used to assess the data: Descriptive statistics, Sphericity, Normality, and Hypothesis testing. The research findings suggest that there exists a variability of intensity of how the managers perceive the personnel risks. Specifically, the managers in Slovakia as well as in the V4 countries perceive the impact of personnel risks more intensively after their enterprise has been active on the market for a longer time period. The results of this empirical research confirm the need to assess personnel risks and their importance in order to allow for effective management of a successful enterprise in the V4 countries. The results of the research are beneficial for enterprise owners, managers, as well as for the institutions that provide comprehensive entrepreneurship support. The results also contribute to the strengthening of coordination and mutual cooperation between the V4 countries. The outcomes of the article can be used at the national as well as international V4 level and the aim of the article is to increase competitiveness, economic development, and resilience of the V4 enterprises in light of global challenges.

Wiadomo, że czynnik ludzki jest integralną częścią każdego procesu w każdym przedsiębiorstwie i odgrywa ważną rolę w działaniach zarządczych. Dotychczasowe badania potwierdzają, że główną przyczyną problemów w przedsiębiorstwach jest często sam czynnik ludzki. Obecnie rośnie zainteresowanie menedżerów oceną i ograniczeniem ryzyka kadrowego. W artykule przeanalizowano wyniki badania skupiającego się na zmienności ryzyk kadrowych postrzeganych przez właścicieli i menedżerów przedsiębiorstw na Słowacji i porównano je z wynikami w krajach V4. W artykule dokonano również oceny ryzyk kadrowych i ich źródeł w odniesieniu do tego, jak długo badane przedsiębiorstwa V4 działają. Wyniki artykułu opierają się na badaniu przeprowadzonym przez autorów wśród 422 przedsiębiorstw na Słowacji w latach 2019-2020 oraz badaniu przeprowadzonym przez szerszą grupę badawczą obejmującą autorów wśród 1781 przedsiębiorstw z krajów V4 w latach 2017-2018. . Do oceny danych zastosowano następujące metody statystyczne: statystyki opisowe, sferyczność, normalność i testowanie hipotez. Wyniki badań sugerują, że istnieje zmienność intensywności postrzegania przez menedżerów ryzyk kadrowych. W szczególności menadżerowie na Słowacji, a także w krajach V4 intensywniej dostrzegają wpływ ryzyk kadrowych po dłuższej aktywności na rynku. Wyniki tych badań empirycznych potwierdzają potrzebę oceny ryzyk kadrowych i ich znaczenia dla efektywnego zarządzania odnoszącym sukcesy przedsiębiorstwem w krajach V4. Wyniki badań są korzystne dla właścicieli przedsiębiorstw, menedżerów, a także dla instytucji zapewniających kompleksowe wsparcie przedsiębiorczości. Wyniki przyczyniają się również do wzmocnienia koordynacji i wzajemnej współpracy między krajami V4. Wyniki artykułu mogą być wykorzystane zarówno na poziomie krajowym, jak i międzynarodowym V4, a celem artykułu jest zwiększenie konkurencyjności, rozwoju gospodarczego i odporności przedsiębiorstw V4 w świetle wyzwań globalnych.
