Integrating remote Internet of Things (IoT) laboratories into project-based learning (PBL) in higher education institutions (HEIs) while exploiting the approach of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a challenging yet pivotal endeavor. Our proposed approach enables students to interact with an IoT-equipped lab locally and remotely, thereby bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, creating a more immersive, adaptable, and effective learning experience. This study underscores the significance of combining hardware, software, and coding skills in PBL, emphasizing how IoTRemoteLab (the remote lab we developed) supports a customized educational experience that promotes innovation and safety. Moreover, we explore the potential of IoTRemoteLab as a TEL, facilitating and supporting the understanding and definition of the requirements of remote learning. Furthermore, we demonstrate how we incorporate generative artificial intelligence into IoTRemoteLab's settings, enabling personalized recommendations for students leveraging the lab locally or remotely. Our approach serves as a model for educators and researchers aiming to equip students with essential skills for the digital age while addressing broader issues related to access, engagement, and sustainability in HEIs. The practical findings following an in-class experiment reinforce the value of IoTRemoteLab and its features in preparing students for future technological demands and fostering a more inclusive, safe, and effective educational environment.

Innovation models are key to fostering technology-focused entrepreneurship in higher education institutions (HEIs). These models create dynamic environments that encourage collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills among students and faculty. HEIs face several challenges in fostering entrepreneurship, including allocating sufficient financial and human resources, integrating entrepreneurship education across disciplines, and managing intellectual property. Overcoming these challenges requires HEIs to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture and establish strong partnerships with industry stakeholders. To achieve these goals, HEIs must adopt successful innovation models proven to work. This article presents an international case study highlighting such models and the factors contributing to their success. This study explores the implementation and impact of innovation models, specifically IDEATION and DEETECHTIVE, within HEIs to foster technology-focused entrepreneurship. By implementing numerous actions focusing on online education integration and the Quintuple Helix Innovation Model, these models support shifting engineering students' mindsets toward entrepreneurship. This research highlights the importance of academia–industry collaboration, international partnerships, and the integration of entrepreneurship education in technology-focused disciplines. This study presents two models. The first, IDEATION, focuses on open innovation and sharing economy aspects. This model underwent rigorous testing and refinement, evolving into the second model, DEETECHTIVE, which is more comprehensive and deep tech-focused. These models have been validated as effective frameworks for fostering entrepreneurship and innovation within HEIs. This study's findings underscore the potential of these models to enhance innovation capacity, foster an entrepreneurial culture, and create ecosystems rich in creativity and advancement. Practical implications include the establishment of open innovation-oriented structures and mechanisms, the development of specialized curriculum components, and the creation of enhanced collaboration platforms.

Innovations in management of the personnel potential of an enterprise of car service, tuning, provide changes in the social environment of the organization and an increase of production efficiency. In the application of innovations in efficient management of the personnel potential of an enterprise of service, tuning of automobiles, the essential role is played by definition and application of effective decisions to successfully using each of the resources. In the contribution, a variant of an algorithm of forming innovations in the management of the personnel of an enterprise is presented (on the example of innovations at the enterprises of service, tuning of Open Joint-stock company "AUTOVAZ", city Togliatti, Russia). On the basis of results of the investigations tables containing main components according to the "varimax" procedure are developed. Ranging of loadings was carried out under columns of each factor. To basic, direct factors of the social environment of the enterprise of car service refer: personnel potential of the enterprise, social infrastructure, work conditions and safety, material remuneration, social protection of workers, social -- psychological climate of the collective, after work hours and use of leisure.

In connection with changes in economy, development of innovations, social and technological systems of managing the personnel of an enterprise of car service -- the application of these systems allowing to optimize enterprise activities and achieve appreciable results -- is become an important factor. Elaborated on the basis of contents and regression analysis, the conceptual model of management of the personnel potential of an enterprise of car service with regard to innovations what concerns the management of the personnel is presented in the form of a system of variables connected by functions, allowing to provide the analysis and develop certain recommendations concerning the administrative influence on the social part of production relations, for increasing the efficiency of the enterprise.

Parameters of an overall performance of the enterprise on the basis of statistical regularities under incomplete information on the investigated enterprise are estimated. Methods of estimation processes of the analysis of results are based on extrapolation of characteristics of a case process of occurrence of unprofitable conditions during formation of estimations, conclusions on effective functioning of the enterprise. Acceleration of the process of investigation of the efficiency of innovations can be achieved with the help of restriction of time of investigations before the occurrence of an unprofitable condition only of a certain part of the enterprise during introducing the given innovations; definitions of laws of change in time of direct or indirect attributes describing the quality of functioning of innovations are presented.

Economic and innovative aspects of development of conceptual bases what concerns the optimization of efficient management and control activity of enterprises of service are of special value and importance. Variants of subsystems in a management control system of the personnel of an enterprise of service are considered on the basis of system-based "size of the initial sum of the capital of the enterprise -- economic effectiveness of capital investments -- lump sum capital investments for introduction of innovations -- the interest rate of the bank credit -- member of the rent -- the period of the rent -- term of the rent" at the research concerning efficiency of introduction of various groups of innovations.
