The paper provides an overview of the state of corporate environmental management in Hungary compared to older EU and OECD states. It also explores the complex relationship between the implementation of environmental management practices and corporate environmental and business performance. Empirical evidence is taken from a comprehensive piece of research, carried out in OECD member countries, which explored motivation, decision-making procedures, and organisational structure of companies in relation to the design and implementation of environmental management tools and systems.

A review is given of Fröhlich's approach to biology from the side of theoretical physics, and illustrated in the context of his prediction of three types of coherent excitations in living systems based on their dielectric and elastic properties and far-from-equilibrium (non-linear) character. Supporting experimental evidence is presented, and the difficulty in achieving reproducibility addressed. His envisaged role of coherent excitations in cell division and its control is outlined, together with the implications for cancer - as understood at the time of his work.

Information is a critical resource in innovation processes. External information can be helpful in innovation processes to complete them successfully. SMEs in particular are therefore advised to draw on consulting in innovation processes, as they cannot ensure the necessary information flow internally due to the lesser resources they have compared to larger companies. To promote economically relevant information of SMEs, the public sector provides specific advisory services. These services, however, are rarely utilized compared to direct customer and supplier contacts. From strategic management's point of view, the involvement of intermediaries in the innovation process is accompanied by the risk of losing specific knowledge to the business environment. Based on an empirical comparative...
