alakítói

alakítói is a Hungarian noun referring to the people, groups, or forces that shape or transform a system, process, or phenomenon. The term is formed from alakító, meaning shaping or formative, and is used to denote agents of change in contrast to participants who are not drivers of change. In academic and professional discourse, alakítói are identified as actors whose decisions, innovations, or interactions produce new structures or outcomes.

The concept appears across fields such as sociology, economics, politics, design, and culture. Examples include policymakers and legislators as political alakítói, corporate leaders and entrepreneurs as business alakítói, researchers and educators as knowledge-based alakítói, and community organizations or social movements as civil-society alakítói. Non-human factors such as technologies, market trends, regulatory frameworks, and cultural norms can also be described as shaping alakítói when they drive change in practice.

In analysis, distinguishing alakítói helps explain how change unfolds: who or what initiates it, through what mechanisms, and over what timescale. The term is closely related to concepts like alakító erők (shaping forces) and formálás (forming or shaping processes), and is often used in discussions of reform, development, and innovation.
