The market approach is a valuation method whereby the fair market value of the target company is determined by reviewing comparable companies with similar operational and financial characteristics. The International Valuation Standards (2017) require that a valuer should make adjustments to the selected market multiples. Kasarova, Pramatarska and Lazarova (2009) and Todorov (2015) propose a method for adjusting market multiples for country risk and efficiency when the market approach is applied to emerging markets. We enhance their adjustment approach by removing its inherent restrictions.

The aim of this study is to contribute to the theory of exogenous economic shocks and their equivalents in an attempt to explain business cycle fluctuations, which still do not have a clear explanation. To this end the author has developed an econometric model based on a regression analysis. Another objective is to tackle the issue of hybrid threats, which have not yet been subjected to a cross-disciplinary research. These were reviewed in terms of their economic characteristics in order to complement research in the fields of defence and security.

Emotions are at the heart of our social life. They function as filters of perceptions that affect our conscious actions and even decision-making. The range of acceptable emotions varies with culture, gender, and age. In many areas of life, inappropriate emotions cause trouble. Organizations therefore require and expect their employees to manage their emotions and refrain from negative emotional outbursts. This creates the need to investigate the opportunities how to regulate emotional behaviour as a means of controlling the negative effects of emotions in the workplace.
