This report aims to emphasize competitive intelligence as an activity necessary for companies in the information technology industry. In a global aspect, the IT sector not only realizes rapid adaptation, but also manages to reach completely new levels in its business history. This sector has always been distinguished by its specific innovativeness (whether subversive or not), flexibility and high reactivity to new realities, and this is precisely what arouses research curiosity to what extent the IT business owes its favorability to methods such as competitive intelligence. The topic of the place of competitive intelligence in the information technology sector is not only relevant, but also still understudied (in contrast to the food, chemical and mining industries). The processes of continuous implementation of new products and services based on specific technologies require caution for companies in relation to their competitors, especially in market conditions of perfect competition. On the other hand, underestimating the integrated system of competitive intelligence (especially in the IT sector) would prove to be a disastrous mistake with losses in financial, intellectual and reputational dimensions, and such can remove even a stable economic player.

  BITCOIN HALVING AND ITS IMPACT ON THE MARKET OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES

  The Bitcoin halving is a key event in the Bitcoin ecosystem that occurs approximately every four years or after all 210,000 blocks have been mined. This event is reduced to a double reward that miners receive for adding a new block to the blockchain, with the aim of controlling inflation and maintaining Bitcoin's deflationary model. This event ... The Bitcoin halving is a key event in the Bitcoin ecosystem that occurs approximately every four years or after all 210,000 blocks have been mined. This event is reduced to a double reward that miners receive for adding a new block to the blockchain, with the aim of controlling inflation and maintaining Bitcoin's deflationary model. This event helps to reduce the rate of issuance of new coins, which could theoretically lead to an increase in the price of Bitcoin, and to reduce the supply of constant or growing demand.

It shows the importance and relevance of the problem, and how stability in the maritime sector is influenced by external factors and interrelationships. By means of a comparative analysis of the current price imbalances occurring in the sector, we will derive guidelines and instructions for action in specific situations. The report aims to familiarize readers with the pricing process in container shipping. We will help shippers and container brokers to be more flexible in force majeure circumstances and try to create the pillars to build a stable international trade.
