Statistically Significant Differences in AI Support Levels for Project Management between SMEs and Large Enterprises

Background: This article delves into an in-depth analysis of the statistically significant differences in AI support levels for project management between SMEs and large enterprises. The research was conducted based on a comprehensive survey encompassing a sample of 473 SMEs and large Slovenian enterprises. Methods: To validate the observed differences, statistical analysis, specifically the Mann–Whitney U test, was employed. Results: The results confirm the presence of statistically significant differences between SMEs and large enterprises across multiple dimensions of AI support in project management. Large enterprises exhibit on average a higher level of AI adoption across all five AI utilization dimensions. Specifically, large enterprises scored significantly higher (p < 0.05) in AI adopting strategies and in adopting AI technologies for project tasks and team creation. This study’s findings also underscored the significant differences (p < 0.05) between SMEs and large enterprises in their adoption and utilization of AI technologies for project management purposes. While large enterprises scored above 4 for several dimensions, with the highest average score assessed (mean value 4.46 on 1 to 5 scale) for the usage of predictive Analytics Tools to improve the work on the project, SMEs’ average levels, on the other hand, were all below 4. SMEs in particular may lag in incorporating AI into various project activities due to several factors such as resource constraints, limited access to AI expertise, or risk aversion. Conclusions: The results underscore the need for targeted strategies to enhance AI adoption in SMEs and leverage its benefits for successful project implementation and strengthen the company’s competitiveness.

Divorced, beheaded, defied: solidarity in individual and collective herstories in SIX the Musical (2017)

ABSTRACT Recent television shows and specials, films, and biographical musicals such as SIX the Musical (2017), signal an ongoing preoccupation with the British monarchy, particularly as it intersects with empowering re-tellings of women’s herstories. SIX reassesses the wives’ relationships to Henry VIII and to each other, and explores how they have been portrayed and mythologised throughout history. It reimagines each of the wives as pop princess characters, giving each queen an amplified and powerful voice and a platform with which to use it. Humour is used to expose the ways in which gender is socially constructed and performed, how it is represented in musical theatre, and to challenge accepted narratives surrounding the six women. SIX demonstrates how women’s individual and collective agency can co-exist, and how the solidarity between the wives on stage, and the women playing them, can also extend to the women in the audience. SIX is also distinctive in the majority-female and non-binary practitioners that comprise its creative team, which further challenges the typically male-dominated musical theatre industry. In this short article, I examine the form and function of the feminism promoted by SIX, and in particular its engagement with female joy, frivolity, and love.

РОЛЬ КРЕАТИВНИХ ФЕСТИВАЛІВ У РОЗВИТКУ КОМУНІКАЦІЙНО-РЕКЛАМНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В УКРАЇНІ

The article reveals the role and significance of creative festivals in the development of communication and advertising activities in Ukraine and the impact of jury awards on the overall rating of agencies. It has been established that the evaluation of projects by participants of creative festivals is carried out according to various criteria: creativity, originality, effectiveness, efficiency, innovation, strategy, quality of execution, compliance with client goals, impact on the brand (business, culture, society), etc. The basic criteria for evaluating projects of participants in international and Ukrainian creative festivals have been analyzed. The system of scoring for the participation of domestic communication agencies in national and international creative festivals has been studied. The methodology for calculating the national rating "Communication Agency of the Year" has been described, which is based on the ratings "National Creativity Rating" (Creativity&Craft) and "National Effectiveness Rating" (Effectiveness) with the application of weight coefficients. Creative festivals are events organized to review and evaluate creativity, innovation, and creativity in various fields. Communication agencies, creative teams and independent creative experts present their projects or ideas to the jury. The use of creative and original approaches by agencies to capture and retain the attention of clients led to the idea of launching a specialized advertising festival at the Cannes Film Festival (Cannes Lions). The first Lions were awarded in Venice in 1954. The second festival was held in Monte Carlo, and the third in Cannes. After that, the international event was alternately held in Venice and Cannes, and since 1984, Cannes has been the sole venue. A new trend emerged, and other creative festivals gradually began to appear, such as: Clio Awards (1959), D&AD (Design and Art Direction) (1962), Effie Worldwide (1968), The One Show (1975), LIA (London International Awards) (1986), Epica Awards (1987), Eurobest (1988), ADCE Awards (Art Directors Club of Europe) (1990), Golden Drum (1993).

How Collaboration Technology Use Affects IT Project Team Creativity: Integrating Team Knowledge and Creative Synthesis Perspectives

Contemporary IT project teams engage in creative problem solving to address increasingly complex business problems, which highlights the need to promote IT project team creativity. Collaboration technologies are widely used in IT project teams, but little is known about what collaboration technology features can be used to improve IT project team creativity and the underlying influencing mechanisms. To address this important gap, the current study builds on the extended team knowledge framework to identify collaboration technology features and decodes their influencing mechanisms on IT project team creativity by drawing on the novel creative synthesis theory originating in the management literature to the IT project team context. We identify three sets of collaboration technology support features, that of awareness knowledge supports, long-term knowledge supports, and transitional knowledge supports, and posit that their use can improve IT project team creativity via facilitating the creative synthesis process which includes three sub-constructs of collective attention, similarity building, and enacting ideas. The research model is supported in general by empirical data collected through a multi-sourced survey of over 500 team members and their leaders from 62 IT project teams. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

РОЛЬ КРЕАТИВНОГО ЛІДЕРСТВА В МЕНЕДЖМЕНТІ БІЗНЕС-СТРУКТУР

The article substantiates the phenomenon of leadership, which is an important direction of the management system both in public authorities and in business structures. Approaches to improving the management model in terms of leadership positions and persons among representatives of informal leadership are analyzed. Formation of leadership in Ukraine as a complex and multifaceted process requires a comprehensive analysis. The correspondence of administratively appointed civil servants-managers to the positions they hold in terms of leadership positions in the team was considered, informal leaders who could apply for elected positions and persons whose leadership abilities need additional development were identified. An important prerequisite for the implementation of creative activity in leadership is the creation of a creative atmosphere in the team, accumulation of creative ideas, stimulation of the development of the process of self-realization and self-improvement of personnel, their personal and collective creative development, coordination of internal interests of employees with the tasks of the enterprise. Achieving a high level of the role of creative management is possible provided that during its construction such principles as: systematicity, relevance, hierarchy, effectiveness, accumulativeness of creative information are observed. At this stage of society's development, the task of mobilizing intellectual and creative resources of the organization to generate new knowledge and develop an innovative product based on it comes to the fore. People are the only source of new knowledge. Although different people to different degrees are capable of creativity, and according to the generation of new knowledge, everyone can develop creativity skills. For modern organizations, increasing their own creativity is connected both with the involvement of creative individuals and with the development of the creative potential of those already working. Creative management clarifies and details the functions of an employee in the field of innovative activity, therefore the concepts of "management" and "creative management" are clearly different from each other. The essence of creativity is manifested in personal, social and household levels. At the personal level, creativity is a creative attitude to one's own duties: a manager in the process of management, a researcher in the performance of research and development, a specialist in the performance of job instructions. The main application of creative management is this creation and motivation of human capital activity, activation of his creative potential. Organizational and client (consumer) capital is already a certain result human creative activity (human capital). Creativity is becoming more and more important not only for employees of creative professions, but also for managers, because in order to provide the company with advantages in the fierce competition today, creative approaches are necessary. managers are interested in developing their own creative potential, forming a creative environment at the enterprise, as well as creating effective creative teams that will be able to think outside the box, creatively, find new ideas and approaches to management.

Повышение эффективности государственной политики в сфере кинематографа с помощью машинного обучения

A study was conducted on the distribution data of a range of Russian national films from 2004 to September 2023 using machine learning methods, with successful and unsuccessful films and patriotic projects considered separately. The study utilized the ensemble machine learning model HistGradientBoostingClassifier and a sequential fully connected three-layer neural network based on the TensorFlow library, along with basic methods of natural language processing. It was found that patriotic films exhibit distribution characteristics lower than the market average and significantly lag behind successful Russian cinema projects at the box office. The study demonstrated the possibility of accurately predicting film box office receipts, distribution characteristics, as well as selecting project parameters and the composition of its creative team to enhance distribution results and increase the reach of target audiences. The study also illustrated the use of language models, specifically through film annotations, to create effective film content. A conclusion was drawn regarding the need for a set of measures to implement state policy in the field of education, information technology, culture, and art, focusing on the creation of unified media franchises and umbrella brands encompassing films, TV series, computer and online games, music, and other products. The implementation of the research results will enhance the effectiveness of public policy and the return on public and private- public investments in the creative industries sector, positioning cinema and the creative industry as self-sustaining and income-generating sectors of the economy. Leveraging rental data from other markets will facilitate the creation of content with higher demand globally, serving as a soft power and cultural influence tool. The results of the study can aid in project selection and film project development by the Russian Cinema Fund, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, private Russian investors and film studios, as well as authorities and organizations responsible for distributing Russian film content abroad.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА УПРАВЛІННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНО-ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНИМ ПОРТФЕЛЕМ В УМОВАХ ПЕРЕТВОРЕННЯ КОМПАНІЇ В ХОЛДИНГОВУ СТРУКТУРУ

The domestic economy, successfully integrated into world market relations, strives to take a leading position in modern world economic relations. The high dynamics of economic and political transformations of the legislative and executive power of our state has a stimulating effect on the activities of economic entities of the national economy. Fast-growing enterprises and companies of various forms of ownership and size are faced with the problem of finding further ways to improve the efficiency of their activities. One of these ways is the transition to innovative development factors. This path involves the development, development and use of a set of product (new products) and process (new technologies) innovations. Creativity of management allows to ensure economic adaptability of the company's management system to rapidly changing conditions of market relations. As a result of changes in the external conditions of business entities, it is the creative team of managers who are able to create a complex of non-standard management solutions for the company and successfully implement these solutions in the process of its development. Such a set of solutions, for example, may contain organizational changes in the company structure or business processes being implemented, redistribution of product and financial flows, development and implementation of investment projects, as well as various combinations of potentially possible elements of a set of management solutions. In order to obtain profit and achieve positive results from investment in innovation, modern organizations create innovation investment portfolios that reduce the risk of losing invested funds. The creation of an innovation-investment portfolio is connected with the selection of the most optimal objects of investment in innovation, that is, the implementation of innovation-investment activities. In order to evaluate the innovation and investment portfolio, various methods are used, in addition, the selection of the optimal option for the creation and regulation of the innovation and investment portfolio is carried out, as well as the analysis of potential risks that the organization will face.

Саариахо, Маалуф, Селларс: соавторство в оперном театре

The focus of the research is the creative collaboration between composer Kaija Saariaho and her regular partners, playwright Amin Maalouf and director Peter Sellars, vividly embodied in the field of musical theater. The subject of the study is three operas by Saariaho, created in different years; the compositions carry a certain artistic image, characterizing the joint work of the three masters. The three operas are united by such a specific factor as the combination of a special psychological depth in the development of the plot with some elements of unreality. In each of the operas, this factor is manifested in its own way. When analyzing various aspects of the works, the article focuses on the degree and nature of the contribution of the composer, librettist, and director in their embodiment. In the conclusion, conclusions are drawn regarding the properties that allowed the creative team to achieve such successful and harmonious collaboration. This article is the first to explore Saariaho’s operas from such a perspective.

Yuval Sharon’s Twilight: Gods (2020-21)

Yuval Sharon’s Twilight: Gods is a drive-through opera that presents a contemporary vernacular reimagination of Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung. Motivated by pandemic-related concerns, it was staged in the Detroit Opera House Parking Center in October 2020 and subsequently in Chicago’s Millennium Lakeside Parking Garage in April 2021. Rejecting immersion, my article puts forth re-enchantment as a phenomenological model, which captures the sense of play underlying site-specific opera. I build on Carolyn Abbate’s notion of “ludic distance” in positing that re-enchantment is derived not despite, but because of our hyperawareness of the creative tensions present in the hybrid media and technologies fleshed out before us. Moving on then to more specifically ideological—and ethical—considerations, I interrogate the racialized scripting underpinning the opera’s display culture. Employing Matthew Morrison’s Blacksound, I examine Scene 4 (“Siegfried’s Funeral March”) in demonstrating how it reveals an attempt to muster Detroit/Blacksound in the commodified packaging of Black signifiers for the edification of an elite, mostly white audience. A musical collaboration premised on “fitting” Black music into the dominant Western paradigm perpetuates musical essentialism. Similarly problematic questions ensue from examining the ethics and politics of collaboration with the two Black poets who contribute to the productions in uneven ways. It is an open question whether, in the end, the creative team has succeeded in fulfilling the redemptive terms it has set for itself. I conclude by stimulating further questions and reflections on how a socially progressive and anti-Racist opera would look and sound like in 21st-century America.

Abortion Care After the Dobbs Decision: An Academic Health System's Response to a Statewide Ban.

Indiana was the first state to pass legislation severely restricting access to abortion care following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1) outlaws all abortions with few exceptions. Indiana University Health (IU Health), the largest and only academic health system in the state, has a unique relationship with the Indiana University School of Medicine and a vision to improve the health of Indiana residents. IU Health employed the Hospital Incident Command System model to create a plan to ensure its patients continue to have access to safe, high-quality family planning, maternal, and neonatal care services and that clinicians are protected against criminal penalties and threats to personal safety. This article provides an overview of the Incident Command structure used to rapidly work across many disciplines, tackle complex issues, respond to concerns, and design and implement changes. The article also outlines the key considerations and decisions made by Incident Command leaders, such as where abortions that met the new law's criteria should be performed, changes to clinical workflows and protocols, and the creation of a rapid response team. The article then examines the operational, legal, and clinical challenges encountered by clinicians and health care team members, including a lack of peer support or idea sharing with other health systems in the state; accurate estimation of abortion, live birth, and neonatal intensive care unit volumes; and ambiguity in the law and lack of guidance from the state government. Recommendations regarding communication with clinicians and other health care team members and engaging information technology early are offered for health systems and medical schools that may face legislative barriers to health care delivery in the future. Finally, IU Health's commitment to tracking the impact of SEA 1 on patients, clinicians, employees, and the state is outlined.
