Bangabandhu had a great impact on agricultural policy in Bangladesh where he emphasized the practice of integrated agriculture. Bangabandhu was driving the country towards inclusive growth in the agricultural sector. He believed that by achieving sustainable agriculture production, this country would ensure mass feed of the population. This paper aims to synthesize the agriculture and food security policy in terms of Bangabandhu's development philosophy. Study has followed survey research with the qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques approach. The Charland area in Mymensingh district has selected 300 farm households with 60 women through a random sample technique. The paper used numerous literatures, as well as original research that pointed to the problems faced by agricultural producers of both sexes. Namely, The Coping with Problems Index (PCI), which is a measure for determining problems and limitations, was used in the research. Using a structured questionnaire, respondents were asked to give their opinion on some selected issues during data collection. Insufficient capital, lack of profit, inadequate capacities for training and lack of adequate agricultural mechanization were especially singled out. These problems pointed to limitations that put food safety in question as well as the possibility of greater empowerment of women in agriculture and improving their status.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected businesses globally. It swept the world like a wave, changing and adapting economies around the world. However, many businesses have shown remarkable resilience in the face of this crisis, adapting to changing circumstances and finding new ways to serve their customers. To build resilience, people need to understand organizational change. In this study, the authors only explained the organizational aspects of resilience in the Western Balkans. They emphasized that there is a lack of research investigating resilience in the context of venture failure due to the inability to respond to the demands of crisis conditions. Therefore, they study the association between corporate responses that we consider particularly important during this crisis, in relation to labor practices, to determine whether companies experienced less-negative responses to the crisis during the market collapse. The aim of these studies is to highlight the importance of the need to improve resilience after the COVID-19 crisis and to determine strategies for achieving it. For this purpose, extensive literature was used, which represents the theoretical framework of the research. Based on their research, the winners in the changing business environment will be unbridled firms that respond to challenges and create new opportunities.

In Bangladesh, attention to women empowerment through agricultural technology adoption is not new, but it has not always been acted upon accordingly. This study attempts to carry out an investigation through using both quantitative and qualitative research tools to examine the extent of women's technology adoption in agriculture and their consequent empowerment attainment in selected villages of Mymensingh sadar. To achieve the objectives of the present study, necessary data were collected by using simple random sampling technique, the study selected total of 60 women respondents. The quantitative analytical tools employed to attain the specific objectives included various descriptive statistical measures, perception index and women empowerment index by adoption technology. The results of perception index analysis indicated that majority had moderate to high favorable perception on greater extent of women's engagement in adoption agricultural technology among which may had low to moderate favorable perception on consequent empowerment attainment. The findings show that almost in all cases, decision was taken jointly by male and female. It is very satisfactory case that decision is taken by female alone particularly in the cases purchase of agricultural equipment, maintenance of agricultural equipment, motivating to use agricultural technologies, selling of old machineries. The value of average women empowerment score is 1.81, which is below from the average empowerment score 2.

Following the 2008 economic crisis, there was a reassessment of the cross-border flow of capital and the policies that affect that capital. First, large, and volatile capital flows have created tensions between macroeconomic and financial stability. Second, investors' appetite for risk declines after the recent economic crisis. Various analyses show that this trend was reversed by 2014, with emerging and developing economies accounting for just under 60% of world GDP, while the share of advanced economies was just over 40%. In this paper, we analyse the flow of capital in modern cash flows, following the example of large financial systems. The aim of this paper is to determine how cash flows have moved from the world wars until today through financial institutions, and with the help of financial instruments.

With the digitalization of companies and work, the business environment and working conditions have changed. Namely, the progress in ICT changed the ways of work organization and influenced the new work model. Teleworking and mobile work provided workers with the opportunity to adapt their time and place of work to their needs. Accordingly, digitization enables more complex organizational forms and affects an increasing number of tasks. The main goal of our study was to investigate the implications of work flexibility on the worker's health. In other words, are there any risks that this new working arrangement will lead to a shortening of working life? Our research has shown that these types of work arrangements can lead to increased workload and overwork, even where workers have a high level of autonomy. Consequently, workers are exposed to great health risks: stress, anxiety and other health problems related to the new work environment.

Considerable interest has been shown over recent decades in the application of quantitative methods in social sciences. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ability to make predictions in social sciences with a focus on economics. Quantification of social and economic phenomena from the start of application had a lot of supporters but even more opponents, mathematics and methodological knowledge have passed the test of time and have lost none of their importance to the present day. The paper concludes that, forecasts may more desirable for many reasons. Namely, a better and more complete understanding of future trends and their effects will improve theories and models in economics and other social sciences. These improvements will greatly benefit those who explicitly seek to create a "ready society."

In this paper, we examined the choice of types of favorite and unpopular activities and ways of practicing among different groups, age, education, and strata of Montenegrin society in leisure time. A random selection of 805 respondents was made. A special questionnaire was constructed for the purposes of this research. The starting theoretical position was Bourdieu's theory. The three favorite activities of our respondents in their free time were watching television, hanging out with friends, and walking. It is interesting that sleep is in the fourth place in terms of frequency in the first two choices of the most favorite activities, and in the third choice even in the second place. We can conclude that great poverty was observed in the choice of three activities that the respondents most often perform in the order of their importance. However, almost 2/5 (39%) practice them actively. It seems that these restrictions in terms of frequency are more conditioned by external, objective factors than the poverty of the respondents' needs for various forms of leisure recreation. The results of our research largely confirm Bourdieu's theoretical heritage, and partly do not confirm it. The most unexpected result is a very slight layer difference in the choice of the most favorite activity and the absence of differences in stating the reasons for the least popular. In our opinion, the main reason should not be sought in the epistemological weaknesses of Bourdieu's theory, but in the fact that Bourdieu's theory can be empirically tested on developed societies so that differences can be clearly expressed, in "pure" form. At least now, Montenegrin society does not belong to such societies.

The present study provides a systematic estimate of male and female participation in agricultural production and usage of agricultural technology and examines their influence in the adoption of modern technology in three upazilas in Jamalpur district. The study was followed by the simple random sampling technique to select 190 sample of respondents for household survey through the semi-structured questionnaire. There has been a significant change with the livestock rearing activities which are 118.79% after adoption of new technology. It is evident that the decision regarding farming with adoption of new technology attains the highest rank. The second highest ranked decision is technical training on technology. Similarly, the third ranked decision is use of modern technology. The modern technology improves the quality of management and materials (seeds, land, tools). The experience on modern technology of respondents has a positive coefficient and it was 0.492. However, our research showed that about 65.2% of the respondents were women as users of traditional agricultural machinery. Given these facts, our research has explained what keeps women's rates of modern agricultural technology adoption low.

While researches and commercialization of the results have been considered to a greater extent at entrepreneurial universities, the distinction between academic and entrepreneurial researches has not been addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the concept of entrepreneurial research which presents a more comprehensive and complete view of the entrepreneurial university and then to provide a framework that helps to comprehend this concept in universities. This study has been conducted using a constructionist grounded theory. The methodology of a structuralist grounded theory is an attempt to collect multiple but heavily focused data to identify and develop concepts. In this study, theoretical sampling and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. In this framework, the extracted main categories including governance in universities, communication with industry, entrepreneurial training, entrepreneurial research functions, cultural and social requirements, entrepreneurial research and commercialization are the results of the research. Entrepreneurial research functions are summarized in value creation, innovation and technique creation. The value of this research is firstly to identify the gap between academic and entrepreneurial researches, and secondly to formulate and provide a framework for the concept of entrepreneurial research in universities. The results of this research provide a framework for higher education policymakers and planners to develop an entrepreneurial approach in academic researches. Applying this framework will also reduce the unemployment rate of alumni in the society, and the employment of alumni will increase the economic growth of the societies.

Digitization is moving most business processes into the virtual arena. The fact is that digitized companies and new concepts of organizational functioning are creating our new reality. Defining the meaning of the term digitalization creates a lot of controversy, which reflects the fact that it is a relatively new concept where there is no consensus and common understanding. Some of these controversies focus on whether the term should describe the use of digital technology to change certain business operations or create brand new business models. Notwithstanding these differences in approach, the aim of this paper is to show that digital transformation is an inevitability in contemporary business driven by the evolution of the new digital technology. Accordingly, the paper points to the specifics of the functioning of organization in terms of organizational structure, communication methods, employee agility and virtual team formation. It concludes that businesses that do not adapt quickly enough to new technologies that affect business and society can very quickly fall out of business because of product obsolescence.

This paper is a result of its author's work, whose goal was to examine the role of globalization in the change of organization models and intensification of its competitiveness, following trade liberalization. In addition, the goal was to define competitive advantages, which the companies have to develop in order to survive in a highly competitive global market. The study has shown that market expansion does not mean that only big business subjects will be able to make a profit. Also, the analysis has shown that there is no correlation between a big market and success of big businesses. In other words, globalization rewards the companies which are innovative and competitive, regardless of the company's size and country of origin.

Network communications is one of the modern ideas in the field of organizational behavior. On the other hand, the ability to communicate with employees and understand the cultural differences between them in a multicultural environment is one of the key skills that managers and employees need them in the nowadays organizations. These skills are introduced as cultural intelligence in organizations that have ability to respond to many challenges in multicultural environments. This article was aimed to analysis the relationship between cultural intelligence and network communication. These questionnaires were distributed between 134 members at the Tehran neighborhood councils. In order to analyzing data and concluding results, SPSS, and then Pearson correlation test were used. The research was done based on structural equation modeling (SEM). The result indicated that there was significant positive relationship between cultural intelligence and network communication. Also there was significant positive relationship between each dimension of cultural intelligence and network communication. Findings show that cultural intelligence is a basic factor in network communication and confirm the main hypothesis of this study which represents the existence of a positive and meaningful relation between cultural intelligence and network communication. Furthermore, the results show that considering this kind of intelligence, especially in network organizations which has a high ethnic and cultural variety, could be very useful for improve employees and managers communications.
