The transistor is an electronic component that revolutionized the world of electronics, enabling the development and improvement of various systems and products in this area over the years. The paper transistor resulted from research conducted by a team coordinated by Elvira Fortunato. It is an ultra-small (nano) transistor, which is paper-based, a cheap and easily accessible material. This article intends, first, to determine the innovation model behind the paper transistor and, second, based on a survey of a sample of Portuguese firms in industries inclined to adopting the transistor, to understand its level of implementation and assess the determinants that may be influencing this process. A review of relevant literature and an interview with Elvira Fortunato, the key researcher, support the conclusion that the innovation model in question is the interactive one. In fact, since the project began, significant interaction took place between research institutions and industry, which continued throughout the development process. In the second phase of our work, a group of firms was surveyed, selected on the basis of the relevance of the technology on the activities they conduct. Only one firm from the five respondents said they knew of the paper transistor. The answers collected also indicated that there are three main determinants which explain why firms have failed to adopt this transistor: the expected profit, the existence of networks between firms and universities, and information. Thus, we conclude that there is a significant need for increased interaction between universities and firms, so as to promote a broader understanding of the stakeholders' needs, with the development of innovations in universities and research institutes based on adaptation to the business context.

MANAGEMENT science ,BUSINESS enterprises ,FAMILY-owned business enterprises ,INTERNATIONAL business enterprises ,TEAMS in the workplace - Abstract
This article present several paper proceedings on international management. The paper titled 'A Test of Upper Echelons Theory in Chinese Shareholding Enterprises' asserts that literature on the theory is well-developed in the management research. It examines the extent to which the demographic characteristics of top management teams impact the performance of a random sample of 114 Chinese publicly-listed shareholding enterprises. In the paper titled 'Chinese Family Enterprise: A Theoretical Analysis with implications for MNE Theory & Research,' the authors develop a comprehensive theoretical analysis of this phenomenon by applying Dunning's eclectic theory of multinational enterprise to the Chinese family-owned business. 'Exploring Democratic Process in Multicultural Teams: A Conversation-Centered Research Approach' reviews and assesses the contributions of multicultural team research so far and articulates a rationale and themes for an explicitly conversation-centered approach to such research. The paper 'Sources of Foreign Affiliate Performance' focused almost exclusively on examining performance differences in a single country context, treating country effects as external to business-unit performance.

MANAGEMENT ,BUSINESS enterprises ,STAKEHOLDERS ,CHARITIES - Abstract
This article presents several conference paper abstracts on management. In the paper titled 'Interrelatedness and Value Creation in Firm-Stakeholder Networks,' the authors attempt to raise the practical dilemmas of having an agent provocateur or a stakeholder within the firm's network. The paper titled 'Stakeholder Influence Strategies in the Canadian Forest Products Industry' draws upon the stakeholder literature to propose and test hypotheses regarding managerial perceptions about the different types of strategies that organizational stakeholders adopt to influence the sustainability practices of individual firms in the industry. The authors of the paper proposed that resource interdependence and type of stake would determine whether the influence employed by individual stakeholders was direct or indirect via other stakeholders. The paper 'Communication Philanthropy. Multiple Representations to Multiple Stakeholders' examines the accounts given by 100 large firms in the UK for their involvement with the arts. It finds support for strategic philanthropy, but that the strategic intent may be more about meeting a form of social contract or securing a licence to operate. It also adds to the literature by combining the corporate philanthropy and social accounting literatures.

BUSINESS enterprises ,CONSTRUCTION delays ,ENGINEERING equipment ,CONSTRUCTION projects ,SUPPLY chains ,BUILDING sites - Abstract
In project-oriented industries such as construction, materials commonly generate a significant portion of the project's overall cost. Material procurement, engineering supply chain, and efficient storage utilization are essential to avoid various unanticipated costs and work delays caused by unplanned shortages and untimely material delivery. Unplanned work delays in construction projects can arise due to a variety of factors, including market shortages, mistimed ordering, and/or increased production on construction sites. To avoid such occurrences, it is essential to synchronize the material procurement strategy with the schedules of simultaneous projects in the company's portfolio. In traditional project management, the material procurement plans are usually created without a thorough portfolio analysis and are mostly market-oriented. Also, the material procurement plan is commonly done without precise calculation of material demands in a simultaneous project environment. This method ignores various project cost trade-offs, such as material ordering and storage costs, as well as a bonus for early or a penalty for late project completion. Researchers in the past decades have been dealing with the problem of simultaneous project scheduling and material ordering (PSMO). This paper gives a review of papers published in the previous decade addressing this issue. The analysis is focused on activity types, resource constraints, optimization goals, and optimization problem-solving methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CLOUD computing ,INFORMATION technology ,SMALL business ,BUSINESS planning ,APPLICATION software ,BUSINESS enterprises - Abstract
Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative technology that is revolutionizing the way different enterprises operate and leverage technology resources. This paper examines the adoption of cloud computing in various enterprises, focusing on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), business strategy analysis, and the role of different cloud computing models such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. The adoption of cloud computing technology has become increasingly crucial for enterprises of all sizes. SMEs, in particular, benefit from the cost-effectiveness and scalability offered by cloud computing. The paper explores how SMEs can leverage cloud computing to overcome budget constraints and gain access to enterprise-grade software applications, infrastructure, and development tools. Moreover, the study investigates the role of business strategy analysis in the adoption of cloud computing. Enterprises need to align their cloud adoption strategy with their overall business goals and objectives. The paper explores how enterprises can analyze their existing IT infrastructure, evaluate the benefits and risks of cloud computing, and develop a comprehensive roadmap for cloud adoption. Furthermore, the paper delves into the various cloud computing models, namely SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and their impact on enterprise operations. SaaS enables enterprises to access software applications on a subscription basis, PaaS provides a development and deployment platform, while IaaS offers scalable infrastructure resources. Overall, this paper provides insights into the adoption of cloud computing in different enterprises, with a focus on SMEs, business strategy analysis, and the role of cloud computing models such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.

VENDING machines ,INTERNET stores ,SYSTEMS development ,BUSINESS enterprises - Abstract
Nowadays, the adoption of microservices is mainly a reactive response to the limitation of existing monolithic enterprise systems. Shifting from monolithic to microservices, however, may risk the alignment between already-defined enterprise architecture (EA) and its implementation. To minimize the risk, the adoption of microservices should be planned in advance when EA is being defined. EA is developed as a composition of building blocks that will be implemented as microservices. By following that adoption approach, this paper proposes a framework for implementing EA patterns as microservices. The use of EA patterns is to facilitate enterprise architects in the development of a solution EA for a certain problem class. The framework consists of four steps, i.e., (i) pattern selection, (ii) pattern adaptation, (iii) microservices elaboration, and (iv) application development. This paper illustrates the use of the framework using a case study of a multi-seller online store that implements an EA pattern called Vending Machine. The case study is also to validate that the framework can facilitate enterprise architects and system developers in the development of enterprise applications. The case study shows that the framework can facilitate (i) the development of EA and its implementation and (ii) the maintenance of consistency of EA models from business architecture to technology architecture and artefacts.

Gathering various data for analyzing and decision-making has been relatively easy for enterprises. But the issue of managing and storing these data collected has been the major issue faced by enterprises at all levels. The emergence of data warehouses and enterprise data lakes has helped resolve the issue of dealing with data silos and deriving value from the unlimited size and data types. Data lakes not only provide various technological benefits but also democratize data with better scalability and versatility. Unlike data warehousing, a data lake helps in real-time decision analytics and provides more ways to analyze data. This paper focuses on the important role enterprise Data Lake plays today to overcome big data challenges and drive this digital transformation era and how building an enterprise data lake can transform the business paradigm. It also discusses the market overview and growth of data lakes with the future scope and the challenges and opportunities arising with the growth of enterprise data lakes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In today's world, Advertising is one of the most effective methods of reaching out to consumers or target audiences, especially online. It contributes to the increase in the value of the company's brand and the subsequent increase in recognition. There are many different types of advertising, and one of the types on which we will be concentrating is online advertising. Online advertising has become the fastest growing and one of the most impactful forms of advertising, and the key to improving its effectiveness is to focus more on the consumer's understanding and growth of the brand, thereby increasing the brand's value and for this purpose, targeted advertising is essential. Target advertising focuses on gaining an understanding of the consumer in order to show them the advertisement that they want to see. Knowing your target audience's characteristics, interests, and behaviour allows you to provide them with the most appropriate products or services. In this paper, we discussed how machine learning can be used to better target advertising. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that makes it possible to obtain a better understanding of how humans work and think. This allows organisations to better understand their customers' requirements and make more accurate future forecasts. In this paper, we shall learn about machine learning-based targeting strategies. We addressed efficiency, potential application and benefits of machine learning in digital marketing and targeted advertising in the future. Additionally, we discussed how AI and machine learning assist in improving personalization and cost reduction through the use of machine learning technologies. Furthermore, we discussed how behavioural targeting works by breaking it down into two components: tailored targeting and retargeting. The primary source of concern in digital marketing, click fraud, has also been addressed. Click Fraud is to generate revenue from the clicks on the ads which is neither seen nor clicked by humans.

This paper conducts qualitative and quantitative analysis on the national innovation systems (NIS) of America and China. Quantitative analysis demonstrates that in a mature economy like America innovative performance is chiefly triggered by knowledge accumulation, external openness, and industrial sophistication. On the contrary, in an emerging economy like China, innovative performance is chiefly triggered by R&D investments and bureaucratic efficiency. To conclude, innovative inputs, innovation infrastructure and government policies all contribute to innovative performances of both countries, though in different modes of influence. The research findings demonstrate distinctive national innovation paths followed by America and China. For America it has long been well-selected government policies targeted at the general innovation environment that is conducive to long-term knowledge accumulation and industrial sophistication. For China it has long been well-executed government policies supporting specific industries and selected enterprises, plus grand public investments in R&D activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although promoting an innovation ecosystem is a core priority of the European Commission (EC), evidence indicates that innovation within start-ups and Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is still constrained by the lack of funding opportunities. Consequently, their capability to realise proofs of concepts or launch new risky business lines is limited. This paper aims to comparatively assess cascade funding initiatives against more traditional funding approaches as relevant alternatives for financing innovation. SMEs and start-ups most commonly fund innovative projects through business angels or venture capital. The disadvantages of risk capital include complex administrative procedures, loss of ownership and control over the strategic decision, etc. Other relevant funding is commonly sourced from private bank loans. In addition to discouraging bureaucracy, prior guarantee or collateral required, longer timing and extended terms, these investors are often reluctant to fund innovation due to their high risk. Preference is usually given to safer investments in which assets can be easily valued and sold in case of failure. In addition, financing opportunities from banks do not include an assessment of the return opportunities of innovative businesses. Out of the traditional schemes for financing innovation, cascade funding is a promising alternative, especially in highly innovative sectors. Cascade funding provides small grants issued by the beneficiaries of projects funded by the EC, typically under the Horizon 2020 (H2020) framework (>800 M€ allocated since 2014). As the EC delegates the selection and monitoring of innovative projects to consortiums, the funding is provided via open calls for proposals, which can provide start-ups and SMEs with grants for an experiment between €50,000 and €150,000. This mechanism also enables applicants to benefit from the technical and/or business expertise of leading European enterprises, universities and technology centres. While focusing on exploitable innovation, cascade funding has also proven to be a more agile financing method with respect to the classical ones. Here, DigiFed project is analysed as a Case Study for cascade funding, as it came to allocate over €3M via three open calls for proposals since 2020. Evidence of the advantages of this funding source for innovative businesses with respect to risk capital and bank debt is the core output of this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study on Bulgarian textile and apparel companies and the changes they have implemented in their activity in the period 2020 - 2021 while facing the COVID-19 crisis. Based on the understanding that making changes requires both the ability to sense the need for change and the ability to implement said change, this paper aims to find empirical evidence that companies which perform above average are those which not only sense the changes they need to make to their products in order to address customer needs, but also make changes in their internal business process in order to implement those. Additionally, this paper seeks empirical evidence for the presence of those organizational attributes in successful organizations which are seen in literature as enablers of organizational agility. The conclusions are expected to be useful by adding empirical evidence for the connection between organizational performance and agility capabilities, as well as for the role of some organizational attributes as enablers of agility.

Many advantages are attributed to participatory enterprise modelling as compared to conventional modelling and elicitation approaches. Among them are an improved quality of the models, better acceptance of the modelling results by the stakeholders and co-creation of models by different stakeholders. Although these advantages were observed in a number of modelling projects, there is not much empirical work comparing conventional and participatory modelling in real-world cases. Much work on participatory modelling is more exploratory and argumentative than explanatory and conclusive. From a pragmatic perspective, one effect of this situation is missing decision criteria when to do participatory and when conventional modelling. This paper aims at contributing to this research area by investigating what factors should be taken into account when deciding for or against participatory enterprise modelling. The approach taken is to analyze successful and non-successful cases from both participatory and conventional modelling in order to identify such decision factors. The main contributions of this paper are (1) an approach for analyzing enterprise modelling cases consisting of criteria derived from literature on enterprise modelling, (2) comparison of conventional and participatory modelling cases according to the analysis criteria and (3) a detailed discussion of criteria relevant for the decision for/against participatory or conventional modelling.

This paper presents a thought experiment related to enterprise modelling (EM). Leaders in the EM community called for "Enterprise Modelling for the Masses" in a position paper at PoEM 2016, the Ninth IFIP 8.1 Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modelling. A revised version appeared in BISE in 2018. The position paper's vision builds on ambitious assumptions about combining disparate model-related artifacts. That approach articulates interesting research challenges but may prove impractical. This paper presents a different approach to EM for the masses. It shows how an extension of work system theory (WST) and the work system method (WSM) might be used for EM. As research in progress toward a proof of concept paper, it starts by showing how ideas in a metamodel that extends WST provides a potential basis for EM. It outlines a thought experiment in which EM issues in a hypothetical corporate reengineering effort are represented using a modelling language based on a greatly reduced version of the metamodel. The next step is to test variants on the modelling language on other hypothetical examples, and then test whether it is helpful in understanding a real enterprise that is being changed or created.

Modern tools are currently changing the face of the business organization. Already manufacturing industries are implementing modern tools which are proving to be effective but the Construction industry is a bit hesitant to implement Digitalization as a tool that can revamp its reputation. Further, Construction sector should move from being inefficient and also change the history of delays and over-budget projects to the profit-making business. Despite knowing the fact that CRIP sector plays a huge role in driving our economy, this sector for years is lagged when it comes to digitalization. Thus, this paper mainly focuses on identifying the barriers to digitalization concerning contractor who is the one of the main stakeholders for implementation and how pandemic affected the digitalization in construction. A detailed questionnaire survey was conducted. The results of the respondents are further analyzed through descriptive analysis in SPSS and frequency charts used for interpretation. This research paper also focusses in giving recommendations so as to overcome the main barriers to some extent and can help them in implementing the digitalization tools which even after pandemic construction sector is unable to do so.

The circular economy aims to decouple growth from resource input. While significant scholarly attention has been put on technical solutions behind circular business models, the lack of consumer acceptance for these offers was recognised as a significant barrier in the transition towards the circular economy. Still, this topic remains underexplored. This paper aims to address this gap through a semi-systematic literature review. It conceptualises consumer behaviour in the circular economy in a framework and suggests definitions for the relevant terms. Further, it develops comprehensive frameworks for factors of consumer acceptance and for practices that companies can deploy to foster consumer acceptance. Thereby, the paper contributes to the theoretical conceptualisation of consumer acceptance in the circular economy. Moreover, it equips companies with knowledge to innovate their circular business models, increase sustainable consumption, and accelerate the transition towards the circular economy.

Using Chinese A-share listed companies' financial data and institutional investment rating data between 2010 and 2014 and multiple regression models, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between the quality of accounting information and analysts' investment ratings. The results show that China's listed companies improve the quality of their accounting information under the pressure of negative investment ratings. Analysts take the quality of accounting information into consideration when dealing with the enterprises. This dissertation provides the corresponding theoretical suggestions for how to play the role of the implicit supervision of investment ratings to improve the quality of accounting information. This paper contributes to the literature by providing evidence on analysts' perception of accounting information quality. It also extends the research of corporate governance from the perspective of social norms. The results corroborate the important role of social norms in corporate governance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aimed to investigate the impact of organizational pressure and environmental consciousness on businesses' adoption of Green Supply Chain Practices (GSCPs). GSC management (GSCM) should be incorporated into an organization's strategic approach to achieve significant performance enhancement. The target companies for this project were Pakistan's leading textile, garment, and apparel manufacturers and exporters. The influence of variables such as Knowledge Management Orientation (KMO), Strategic Orientation (SO), Market Orientation (MO), and Green Entrepreneurial Orientation (GEO) was investigated. A comprehensive and inclusive survey instrument based on the Likert Scale was used to collect data. 261 employees from 261 textile companies participated. The data were analyzed, and hypotheses were tested using the structural equational model (SEM) method and the SMART PLS software, which permitted the development and testing of a complex and interactive conceptual framework. The results will be beneficial for business managers and policymakers. This study demonstrates that institutional pressure has a more significant impact than environmental awareness in encouraging businesses to implement sustainable supply chain strategies. The economy's recovery would be significantly dependent on the effectiveness of the governing bodies. In addition to dynamic capabilities and strategy renewal funded by government capital assistance, critical and sustaining factors for SME performance include dynamic capabilities. The research also revealed that the conventional pressure exerted by distribution network partners and consumers had the most significant impact among the various business pressures, followed by simulated pressure.
