Opis: Improving farm efficiency is central to enhancing productivity, income, and structural transformation in European agriculture. However, inefficiency is often persistent and rooted in structural constraints. This paper examines how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) affects technical efficiency and its persistence in animal farming, using Slovenia as a case study. Slovenia provides a relevant empirical setting due to the dominance of small-scale farms, strong reliance on subsidies, and limited economies of scale – characteristics shared by many structurally constrained EU Member States. We apply a Bayesian dynamic stochastic frontier model that jointly accounts for efficiency persistence and technological heterogeneity. Using disaggregated CAP subsidy data, we assess how different policy instruments influence short-run and long-run technical efficiency across heterogeneous farm types. The results reveal four main findings. First, there is strong evidence against a common production frontier, indicating substantial technological heterogeneity among animal farms. Second, the effect of CAP subsidies on short-run technical efficiency depends both on the direction of their impact on efficiency persistence and on the level of technical efficiency in the previous period. Similarly, their impact on long-run technical efficiency is shaped by their effect on persistence and by the level of long-run efficiency. Third, the effects of CAP subsidies are heterogeneous across instruments: investment and other subsidies enhance both short-run and long-run technical efficiency, whereas decoupled payments and agri-environmental subsidies reduce efficiency at both horizons. Fourth, payments for less-favored areas consistently lead to a deterioration in technical efficiency in both the short and the long run.

Opis: Resilience has become a strategic capability for organisations facing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and socio-economic instability. The Circular Economy (CE) offers regenerative models to reduce waste and optimise resources, while Blockchain (BC) provides digital infrastructures that enhance transparency, traceability, and trust across supply chains. Despite their growing relevance, research on CE, BC, and resilience remains fragmented and under-integrated. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 37 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025, mapping how CE and BC intersect to strengthen resilience. The review identified several recurring themes, highlighting how the convergence of CE principles and BC technology can bolster resilience across three crucial dimensions: 1) adaptive; 2) organisational; and 3) systemic. Among the most relevant contributions, several central aspects also emerge, including the following: a) the enhancement of eco-efficiency; b) the role of BC in reducing information asymmetries and enabling greater transparency; c) the critical importance of cooperation and shared value co-creation, fostering a glocal approach to resilience that emphasises collaboration among stakeholders. These findings offer valuable observations for facilitating the transition to CE through BC, while also highlighting important avenues for future research such as the dynamics of glocal cooperation and the latent resilience within organisations.

Opis: This study investigates the implementation and impact of ChatGPT and Gemini in a four-star hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand, during January–February 2024. Through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis and qualita-tive insights, the research assessed operational metrics across multiple service areas and gathered detailed feedback from the hotel owner. The study revealed significant improvements in operational efficiency, with check-in processing times decreasing from 3.3 to 2.7 minutes and AI system adoption increasing from 82% to 93%. Gu-est satisfaction scores showed notable enhancement, with overall satisfaction rising from 4.6 to 4.8 out of 5. The AI systems demonstrated impressive multilingual ca-pabilities, handling 28 languages with 98.7% accuracy, while document processing achieved 99.2% accuracy across various types. Internal communications benefited from 32% time savings, with efficiency rates exceeding 96% across all categories. Staff adaptation, though initially challenging, was successfully managed through comprehensive training and gradual implementation, resulting in improved job satisfaction and team collaboration. The findings provide empirical evidence that strategic AI integration can enhance both operational efficiency and guest satisfa-ction while complementing human service elements. This research contributes va-luable insights for hospitality managers considering AI implementation and offers a practical blueprint for successful technology integration in the hospitality sector, while also highlighting areas for future research in different hotel categories and geographical contexts.
