When making installation decisions, companies take into account a complex system of criteria, which includes the agglomeration area, as well as the presence of companies performing the same or similar activities. The purpose of this research is to examine the spatial distribution of companies established in the agglomeration settlements of Győr. In the course of the analysis, map tests were carried out and a quadratic analysis was prepared. The results of the research show that there is a high degree of spatial concentration of companies in the Győr agglomeration area, and territorial densification can also be seen based on settlement-level indicators.

Globalisation has led to the dominance and geographical expansion of urban areas. Companies consider a complex set of criteria when deciding on their locations, including the agglomeration area and the presence of similar companies or related businesses. This study examines the spatial distribution and industrial clustering of companies within the agglomeration of Győr, Hungary's sixth-largest city. The sample comprises 256 companies across 68 settlements, with data processed through map, quadrat and industry analysis. The analyses identified six settlements within the agglomeration where nearly half of the companies are located, five factors that seem to facilitate company location, and five main industrial sectors, four of which are closely related. The article concludes that the agglomeration area of Győr is characterised by a high degree of spatial concentration of companies, industrial clustering and the emergence of industry sub-centres.

Corporate embeddedness and sustainable corporate behaviour are closely linked. Consequently, recent literature has introduced the term sustainability embeddedness. However, the concept is still at an early stage, and both its conceptualisation and practical implications remain incomplete. From the literature review, it can be determined that the term sustainability embeddedness can be classified as one of the so-called fuzzy concepts because its use in different literatures is associated with different meanings. The main goal of the study is to review the previous interpretations and to contribute to the literature on the concept with a specific explanation, placing it in the set of previous definitions. A further aim of the research is to identify the best sustainable practices of corporate embeddedness using the quintuple helix model. The goal is to demonstrate how sustainability practices can enhance mutually beneficial relationships between companies and other actors within the local space. The study serves as a literature basis for later research, in which, as a continuation of the collection of practices, small and medium-sized family businesses in Győr, Hungary, will be examined. Along the theoretical model of the study, practical implications can be identified as they may serve as an incentive practice for regional small businesses, which helps to deepen their degree of embeddedness, thus exploiting additional local benefits for the local space.

The interpretation and the analysis of physical spaces is generated from the symmetry axiom which is valid in geographical spaces but might not be valid in other forms of spaces, the so called non-geographical ones. In the case of such spaces which can be expressed by time, network and cost, the opposite of symmetry can be found: distance asymmetry which means that the distance from one object to another and back are not equal. This research is motivated by the fact that while distance symmetry has been widely studied distance asymmetry has been not investigated in suburban areas of Győr. The purpose of the study is to give a typology of the sources of distance asymmetry, especially with regard to time-spaces, to demonstrate some real life practices and finally, to present measures of time-space asymmetry.

The form of organizations' relations and organizational communication is influences by several factors. The study focuses on a part of an empirical research which was implemented in 2013, in the SMEs of the Western Transdanubian region, in Hungary. Its focus was the indepth analysis of inter-organizational communication; the aim of this article is to analyze the impact of geographical proximity on the inter-organizational communication and used communicational genres. The impact of geographical proximity is relevant, however, it is observed periodically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
