Exploring the pathways of learning from project failure and success in new product development teams

In today's business environment, New Product Development (NPD) teams play a pivotal role in propelling innovation. Within NPD teams, both successful and failed projects contribute in enhancing learning processes, yet the epistemological pathways activated by successful projects differ distinctly from those stimulated by failed projects. In this study, we investigate the pathways towards team learning in the context of successful and failed NPD projects using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). Drawing from the team learning literature, we examine which configurations of project characteristics (complexity and uncertainty), interpersonal team characteristics (innovation norms, cohesion, and decision-making autonomy), and environmental characteristics (technological and market turbulence) lead to NPD team learning. Our analysis identifies three configurations of factors tied to NPD team learning in successful projects and four configurations in failed projects. In successful projects, project and team characteristics are core in enhancing team learning. In failed projects, together with team characteristics, core conditions are represented by project complexity, uncertainty, while environmental characteristics play a dual role.

Управление развитием организационной культуры современного воинского коллектива

The article presents the analysis of theoretical approaches to the essence of managing the development of organizational culture of a modern military team. Military organizational culture is revealed as a complex of cultural values, norms, beliefs of military personnel, a managerial factor of transformation of professional changes in the modern military team. The specifics of the subject (military administration) and the object (members of the military collective) of management are substantiated, the integrated approach of the essential characteristics of the process of managing the development of the organizational culture of the military collective is revealed. As a result of the analysis of the sociological survey data, the characteristics of this phenomenon are clarified as a purposeful organizational, project, controlling activity of the military administration to ensure the reproduction of military organizational culture, the achievement of its stabilization, as well as progressive development. It is proved that the management of the development of the organizational culture of the military collective presupposes the achievement of a targeted qualitative renewal of the external symbols of the military collective, as well as the prevailing values, needs, ideals, traditions, norms of behavior of military actors. Management design of innovative norms, values, principles of interaction of military personnel is designed to allow not only to form an initiative military actor of a leadership type, but also to provide prerequisites for the transition to an innovative organizational culture of military teams. It is proved that the management of the development of the organizational culture of the military collective has several forms of manifestation: 1) as a dual complex within the framework of the general management system of a military organization; 2) as a mechanism aimed at, on the one hand, at ensuring the stabilization of organizational culture and, on the other hand, at its expanded reproduction; 3) as a subsystem of social management (federal, regional, internal-military-organizational; 4) as a management process itself. In a generalized context, the management of the development of organizational culture is a component of the overall system of integrated targeted management of a military unit as a whole, which determines, among other things, the optimization of its organizational culture. Within the framework of this management, management subsystems can be distinguished in the form of separate socio-cultural projects. Educational activity with this approach should be considered as a means to ensure the achievement of the development of the organizational culture of the military unit.

Особенности установления ответственности за преступления, сопряженные с использованием допинга в сфере спорта

The article analyzes the content of those innovation norms in the Russian criminal legislation that establish liability for the use of doping drugs in the field of amateur and professional sports. The article provides evidence of the high social and political significance of social relations that have developed in the field of sports. The promotion of a sports lifestyle is one of the conditions for protecting the health of the nation, as a result of which the health safety of persons taking direct part in sports at various levels should be provided with special criminal law means, which implies the allocation of a separate object in the structure of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. On the basis of the results of the study of the anti-doping sphere of criminal law protection, as well as the content of special norms of the criminal law, assumptions are made about the presence of gaps in the content of the current norms on liability for the use of doping drugs and other prohibited drugs (substances). On this basis, the work identifies possible directions for the implementation of further scientific research in the field of health protection of persons taking part in sports competitions at various levels.

The Responsibility to Protect Internally Displaced Persons in Africa

AbstractThis article explores the responsibility to protect (R2P) as an organizing concept for preventing, addressing and finding durable solutions to internal displacement in Africa. While the most innovative norms for protecting the forcibly displaced have been conceptualized in Africa, they have not durably addressed displacement, due to limitations in implementation. R2P has similarly faced criticisms emanating from a lack of clarity and distrust. Restated norms underlying frameworks for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and R2P complement each other, and can be operationalized simultaneously through a more credible regional approach, to encourage effective protection of IDPs in Africa. The article explores pillar one, pillar two and the non-coercive elements of pillar three of R2P, and its underlying moral principles, using Kenya as a case study of the process of seeking to secure state responsibility for the protection of displaced civilians victimized by mass atrocities.

Court Fine as an Alternative to Criminal Liability

In 2016 the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was supplemented by article 762 , i.e. an innovative norm on exemption from criminal liability with a court fine. Its novelty is that it provides for: 1) conditional release from criminal liability; 2)the use of a coercive measure against a person who is considered innocent by virtue of the presumption of innocence; 3) its use is associated with the payment of a sum of money to the budget. In addition, the consent of the victim is not required for its application. In practice, there is no uniformity in the interpretation of the new law. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the practice of applying the new norm, conceptualize it and give recommendations on its application. The paper concludes that a court fine is not a liability. Agreeing to pay money to the budget and paying it is a "good deed", a form of making amends for the harm caused by a crime to society as a result of law and order violation. This may be sufficient to release you from liability if there is no victim. The rule on a court fine supplements the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on active repentance (article 75) and reconciliation with the victim (article 76) and is especially relevant in the absence of the victim, when the application of these articles is problematic. If there is a victim, the harm caused to him (including moral) must be compensated. The fact that the consent of the victim and the Prosecutor is not required for the application of a court fine does not mean that the court has the right to ignore their opinion.

Private Actors as Transnational Regulators: The Case of Freedom of Association

Abstract This article examines whether content of international public norms is significantly altered when embedded in transnational private labour regulations (TPLR); and, if it is, whether these alterations enrich or weaken the effect of these norms. Through a case study of freedom of association as regulated in five major TPLR initiatives, this research pursues a textual analysis of TPLR generated norms, to evaluate their content and to assess the nature of any modifications of international labour law norms. The findings reveal that although TPLR instruments are generally perceived as merely implementing internationally accepted norms, they in fact have a substantial norm-generating role, actively shaping the content of the norms they apply. The evidence further indicates that private actors can contribute to the design of innovative norms. At the same time, it was found that corporations had in several instances exerted negative influences over freedom of association norms and that when additional actors participated in the regulatory process, this right was better fulfilled. In addition, although meaningful participation of public actors in private regulatory initiatives was found to effectively prevent the undermining of the right to freedom of association, global union federations were less successful in this regard.

Anti-Innovation Norms

Intellectual property (IP) scholars have recently turned their attention to social norms-informal rules that emerge from and are enforced by non-hierarchically organized social forces-as a promising way to spur innovation in communities as diverse as the fashion industry and the open source software movement. The narrative that has emerged celebrates social norms' ability to solve IP's free-rider problem without incurring IP's costs. But this account does not fully consider the dark side of social norms. In fact, certain social norms, when over-enforced, can create substantial barriers to the most socially beneficial creative pursuits. Because IP scholars have left unexplored how social can hinder innovation in this way, the harm they cause has gone unmitigated. This Article sheds light on the dark side of innovation norms. It coins the term norms to label these counterproductive social forces. Using the double lens of sociology and psychology, it gives a full theoretical account of three types of anti-innovation norms: research priority, methodology, and evaluation norms-all of which interfere with socially beneficial boundary-crossing innovation. Our elucidation of anti-innovation has both theoretical and policy implications. On the theory side, it suggests that IP scholars to date have been too focused on addressing the free-rider problem. This has caused them to overlook other barriers to innovation, like those posed by the set of anti-innovation we describe here. This focus on free-riding may also help explain why innovation and scholars have paid little attention to debates within the broader literature on law and social concerned with identifying situations in which social are welfare reducing. On the policy side, it points to innovation dilemmas that IP is not fully equipped to solve. While changes to the IP doctrines of attribution and fair use in copyright and nonobviousness in patent law can counteract anti-innovation at the margin, a comprehensive solution requires innovation scholars to broaden their vision beyond the IP toolkit. We take the first steps in this direction, proposing a number of interventions, including novel funding regimes and tax credits.

Technology Focus: Completions (September 2016)

Technology Focus The past year has proved to be one of the more challenging years our industry has ever faced. We have been forced to think differently and solve problems in new and unique ways as the oil and gas community has remained laser-focused on reducing costs and improving the economics of its projects. In last year’s article, I highlighted the uniqueness and customizable nature of well completions, which makes the completion strategy a rich target for change as project economics are reevaluated in the face of uncertainty. As activity plummeted to record lows, we witnessed a calibration of completion strategies. Whether it was further optimization of the preferred completion technique, implementation of new technologies, or a complete shift in completion philosophy, no stone was left unturned when it came to designing and implementing the well architecture. The primary objective was improving well economics, of course, through reducing costs or increasing productivity. So, how does the well completion fit into this overall goal of cost reduction and productivity increase? The answer is simple: time. Time savings can be achieved in a variety of ways, the most significant being deployment speed, installation reliability, and consolidation of trips into the well. Fracturing plugs for plug-and- perforate completions that can be deployed in excess of 600 ft/min without presetting, International Organization for Standardization and American Petroleum Institute qualification standards for sealing devices, autonomous and remotely actuated downhole tools, and equipment that disintegrates downhole are all commonplace examples of how today’s completions are focused, more than ever, on reducing nonproductive time through speed, reliability, and efficiency. As our industry evolves and responds to the effects of global economies and geopolitical events, so, too, do the solutions that enable that evolution. What has transpired over the past 18 months, while challenging for all, is oftentimes the necessary catalyst to spark innovation and challenge conventional norms. What was not possible yesterday may be possible today. I am personally thankful to have had the opportunity to work through this industry cycle and am excited about the future of the oil and gas industry.

Can Government Help Organizations Innovate? The Effect of Government Policy on Innovation

This study integrates different research streams in the institutional literature to examine the impact of general and specific government policies on an organization’s explorative and exploitative innovation in China. Based on resource dependence theory, we argue that general government policy promotes a firm’s exploitative innovation only while specific government policy promotes explorative innovation. However, the simultaneous presence of both forms of policy can crowd out a general policy’s effect on a firm’s exploitative innovation efforts. The innovation norms and firm’s ownership structure can affect efforts to inspire innovation. Results based on a combination of survey and archival data collected from Chinese firms support the argument. Implications for institutional theories and the role of government in firm innovation are discussed.
