Design/Methodology/Approach: We used the National Network for Sustainable Rural Development Companies as a case study to formulate key questions to identify their success and business resilience factors. Results: Permanent job creation turned out to be the main success factor, and timely delivery of the product was the main resilience factor. Study Limitations/Implications: Recognizing the difference between success and resilience factors can help rural enterprises, their leaders, and decision-makers in the rural sector to understand and adjust their operating strategies based on their objectives. Findings/Conclusions: A success factor is a way to stand out among similar rural enterprises, while a business resilience factor serves to face adversity and continue over time.

An unusual presentation of the chest and abdominal pain: toxic alcohol ingestion

Background: Methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and isopropanol are common alcohols, whose consumption can lead to toxicity and significant morbidity and mortality1,2. Clinicians must often rely on clinical features and laboratory values to determine the possible causative agent. Annually, almost 95,000 people die due to alcohol and it is the third leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States of America3. Case presentation: A 53-year-old male patient reported to the Emergency Department with vomiting, severe chest, and abdominal pain for one day. He looked unwell and was unstable. The blood gases showed metabolic acidosis with lactate of 10-mmol/L. Investigations on the line of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia, Pulmonary Embolism, and Aortic Dissection were negative. With time, the patient deteriorated with severe metabolic acidosis requiring rapid sequence intubation. Blood investigations showed multi-organ failure, high serum osmolarity, and high osmolar gap. Later, he was admitted to the intensive care unit and underwent hemodialysis. His laboratory test results improved, and he was extubated. Eventually, he revealed having taken homemade alcohol. Recommendations: High Anion Gap is a hallmark of toxic alcohol poisoning. A potential toxic alcohol ingestion surrogate marker is an elevated osmol gap. Abnormal presentation and a patient hiding key information can delay the diagnosis. The key to successful early diagnosis is good history taking, patient collaboration, complete examination, and interpretation of laboratory results. Isopropyl alcohol is associated with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain since it is a gastrointestinal irritant. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain can play a role in diagnosing toxic alcohol ingestion especially methanol, due to its characteristics findings like hemorrhagic putamen necrosis (Figure 1), however, clinical suspicion should not delay a patient's treatment. Conclusion: Abnormal presentations are quite common, and one should always keep a wide differential diagnosis in mind. Uncommon causes of severe metabolic acidosis could be easily missed. The main success factor in the management of toxic alcohol ingestion is to recognize it, do the calculations, and provide treatment.

Beyond the lean manager

Although leadership is consistently found to be the main success factor for lean transformations, our knowledge about how to develop the necessary leadership competences at the level of the individual and the organisation remains limited. Based on an action-research study of lean leadership development in a Norwegian high-tech manufacturer, this article proposes an integrated model for how to develop corporate lean leadership. The model combines earlier research on ‘hard’ versus ‘soft’ leadership competencies and individual versus collective competency development in a two-dimensional framework, which highlights four areas of intervention. We argue that conventional lean leadership training should be supplemented by insights and practices from human resource management and organisational development. Hence, lean professionals (coaches and trainers) should reach out to HR-professionals often organised in different functional departments. The model might guide future practical interventions. We encourage further research to investigate the model with respect to its wider applicability.

Multi-criteria analysis of big data and big data analytics on supply chain management

This article proposes a procedure evaluating the implementation of big data and big data analytics in supply chain management through critical success factors. With the current use of big data and big data analytics technologies, structured or non-structured data have become more important in decision-making, making the process more efficient. In addition to highlighting the main critical success factors encountered in the literature, the authors developed a classification of factors using the benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks model (BOCR). In this study, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a multi-criteria analysis method, is applied by considering BOCR model as the main criteria in the evaluation, and big data and big data analytics as the two main alternatives. The main contributions of this work are an identification of the main critical success factors through research found in the available literature and the proposal of a procedure for evaluating the best alternative to implementing data technology in supply chain management. The proposed approach was used to evaluate the BOCR through the real implementation of data technology.

Visão geral dos fatores que influenciam a competitividade das startups: uma revisão sistematizada da literatura

Abstract: This research presents a systematized literature review to identify the main critical success factors (CSFs) that influence startups’ competitiveness. Considering that aspects related to competitiveness should be the target of organizations, especially early-stage companies, this paper identifies a broad of factors regarding startups’ competitiveness. A total of 36 articles were selected in Scopus and Web of Science databases and an in-depth bibliometric analysis of the corpus was performed using the VOSviewer software. 25 CSFs that influence startups’ competitiveness were identified and categorized into three fundamental points of view (FPVs), namely: organizational, human, and environmental. Organizational FPV covers factors that define the internal characteristics of startups. Human FPV, in turn, consists of characteristics of human capital, while the Environmental FPV refers to external factors and the startup context. This work could help practitioners and policymakers by enlightening them about startups’ competitiveness and the elements involved therein, along with providing them with a robust conceptual framework.

Total Quality Management in Private and Public Sectors in Bahrain: An Exploratory Study

This study has a central theme of reviewing and overcoming TQM barriers. Thus, the researcher aims to provide the government of Bahrain set of recommendations for employing useful tools in the human resources position to assist the TQM process. The objective of the novel research conducted here is to determine the extent of TQM and the factors impacting it. It will also provide a subjective comparison between the Private and Public sectors and determine which sector has adequate TQM. On the other hand, the researcher will evaluate the impact of TQM on employees’ satisfaction. The key critical success factors measured in this research include leadership and top management, quality planning and strategy, communication, employee’s involvement, quality of product and services, customer focus, quality culture, MIS, and continuous development. The methodology utilized in this research, described as cross-sectional, adopted a multi-method approach (quantitative and qualitative) conducted through questionnaires and interviews, to perform the research objectives. An SPSS program and other analysis tools were used to analyze the data collected appropriately. The result shows that many theories models and tools were used to facilitate Total Quality Management. In addition, critical success factors affecting the implementation of total quality management depend on their business and environment. On the other hand, there is less awareness among the employees in Bahrain from both sectors private and government, regarding the total quality management, plan, and effect. The researcher concluded that employee job satisfaction is one of the main critical success factors affecting TQM. Finally, a comparative summary of the best practice results between private and government organizations, concerning TQM, results in similar effectiveness and efficiency with a little more emphasis in the private sector.

Izazovi i ograničenja novog javnog menadžmenta - empirijsko istraživanje u Srbiji

Taking into account the requirements and challenges of dynamic business environment, New Public Management becomes a dominant paradigm in managing the public organizations. The paper aims to identify the main features, i.e., challenges and barriers of new public management generally, and particularly in Serbian public organizations. Therefore, the paper focuses on analyzing the NPM as a contemporary management paradigm in public sector which contributes to enhancing effectiveness and efficiency of public organizations. The results of empirical research conducted in public sector organizations in the Republic of Serbia are presented with the aim to reveal employees' perceptions regarding challenges and barriers of NPM implementation. The results demonstrate that, although some aspects of NPM can be observed, the practice of NPM is not sufficiently developed in Serbian public sector organizations. Additionally, the results indicate the need for emphasizing the employees as one of the main factors of success by public managers, with enabling the appropriate training for employees, effective communication as well as an adequate leadership style.

The role of entrepreneurship in the development of the national economy

The current state of the national economy determines the importance of increasing its efficiency and competitiveness. Entrepreneurial activity is one of the most active forms of activity in the economic sphere. The development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine is one of the main issues of today. The degree of significance of the role of entrepreneurial activity in the development of the national economy and in solving problems aimed at the formation of an efficient and competitive economy under risk and uncertainty has been studied. The types and functions of entrepreneurship are analysed. It is noted that they are the main elements in solving the main problems hindering the development of an effective national economy. Since February 24, 2022, due to the full-scale military aggression of russia, the domestic economy has been subjected to another negative impact, in addition to those that have been in effect over the past decade. The armed conflict in the east of Ukraine in 2014, the covid-19 pandemic in 2019 and the next wave associated with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron virus in 2021 have already led to a violation of the economic and political stability of our state. Currently, due to the destruction of industrial and civil infrastructure, we are witnessing the processes of forced displacement of people and, as a result, the loss of labour, a decrease in the share of taxes paid and an increase in the cost of maintaining the life of the country. National entrepreneurship in the conditions of the war unleashed by Russia is characterized by a quick ability to adapt to unpredictable conditions, a high level of organizational and technical mobility, and a high level of riskiness of entrepreneurs. All this makes it possible to introduce innovations at a rapid pace, to quickly and efficiently complete the program of relocation of enterprises and resume their efficient operation. It was entrepreneurship that did not allow the national economy to be in a crisis situation. The authors note that a key role in this process was played by the ability of Ukrainian entrepreneurs to make atypical decisions, which allowed them to change their profile, in particular, change the direction of their activities in the conditions of war. According to the State Statistics Service and the European Business Association, the dynamics of growth in the number of individual entrepreneurs in 2022 was analysed. Nowadays, the experience of developed countries can become an impetus for the formation of a new Ukrainian economy, the creation of an economically comfortable and stable competitive environment and the identification of the main success factors for the activities of business entities, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, which are key in the economic development of the country.

GLOBALIZATION TRENDS INFLUENCE ON THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMIES

Objective. The objective of the article is the determination of trends and forecasting the impact of globalization trends on the innovative development of national economies. Methods. In the process of the research, the following general scientific methods are applied: comparison, generalization, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, concretization, systematization. Results. It is determined that innovation and creativity are becoming the main success factors of national economic systems. And the strategic management of innovations is the most important task of the company's anti-crisis policy. The reasons for the low level of innovative activity are the shortcomings of the regulatory and legal framework, the high cost of attracting credit funds, the lack of a strategic vision of the future development of the company's activities by the managers of the enterprises. The problem is also the low level of budgetary financing of innovative developments, the lack of incentives from the state for enterprises. Investments in new technologies are providing higher returns than the industry average, and the structure of the economy is also changing. Legal, ethical, aesthetic and moral standards are dynamically changing. The level of education and health care is increasing. Also, the spread of innovations connects various socio-economic subjects into a single entity. One of the factors of increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of the economy at all its levels is the introduction of innovations. The innovation policy of a state should provide for the stimulation of innovation at the state and regional levels, involvement in global innovation networks, investment in research and development, improvement of the regulatory and legal environment, determination of priorities for innovation development at the state and regional levels etc. Globalization opens up opportunities to overcome the technological gap and introduce innovations to increase the competitiveness of the national economy. The main trends of the impact of globalization aspects of development on the innovative development of national economies are determined. The asymmetry of the innovative development of national economies in the conditions of globalization is studied. The reasons for the low level of innovation activity of national economies are established. The important tasks of the state innovation policy and the effective mechanisms and promising trends of the development of the innovative economies of the world are determined. The following effective mechanisms and promising trends in the development of the world's innovative economies are defined: digitization and digitalization, the use of digital technologies for optimizing business processes; robotics as a response to global demographic changes, consisting of an aging population and an increase in the burden on the employed part of humanity; renewable energy; convergence of technologies and knowledge; virtualization of the world and artificial intelligence.

Psychological Aspects of Security Sector Specialists Training for Information and Analytical Activity

The article emphasizes that psychological training is a part of professional training of specialists in any sphere, but for professionals in information and analytical activities it should be an integral part, resulted in readiness for professional activity taking into account the objective and subjective factors. Achievement of the required level of national security is conditioned by the continuous receipt of reliable and complete information about various threats, the degree of their danger and possible ways of neutralizing. Given the growing demands of providing the state, public authorities and local governments leadership with a highly professional analytical product in the rapid development of information and intellectual technologies, the role of effective performance of information and analytical functions by all security institutions is growing. After all, insufficient analytical support for state authorities activities leads to the impossibility of early forecasting of state and world events, adequate consideration of favorable and destructive factors affecting the social, political and economic life of the country. Therefore, competent specialists in the field of information and analytical activities determine the quality of analytical products preparation. The publication identifies the main psychological factors of professional success of specialists in information and analytical activities, formulates the definition of their psychological competence. It suggests a set of individual psychological qualities that should be inherent in a successful analyst, which include: objectivity, independence, ability to work under the influence of stressors, ability to work in a team, reflexivity, flexibility and non-standard thinking, ability to respond adequately to criticism, ability to defend one’s opinion, ability to argue, etc.

Оценка эффективности мер устойчивого развития региона в условиях неопределенности коронавирусного кризиса

The article presents efficiency assessment of sustainable development measures in the region in the face of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic crisis caused by the pandemic is one of the most serious in recent decades. Its global nature is due to the scale of economic and social losses, aggravation of production problems for many industries and enterprises. Like other regions of the Russian Federation, Volgograd region has repeatedly faced crises since the early 2000s, and each of them has become a new challenge for the regional administration system in terms of its ability to develop and take timely measures to overcome negative consequences. In the article, a number of indicators were analyzed for three consequent periods. The first one is 2019 in comparison with 2018. The second period is 2020 in comparison with 2019. The third one is the beginning of 2021 and each of them is characterized by the ratio of various factors that influence the behavior of business entities, population of the region, development and use of managerial decisions aimed at sustainable social and economic development of Volgograd region. The recovery from the pandemic crisis became the most important task for regional authorities, which is reflected in the set of measures aimed at support of the economy and social sphere of the region, incomes of the population and businesses. It became necessary for public authorities to improve new rules of work and decision-making mechanisms in order to respond to the current situation in a timely manner. The authors believe that the main factors of success of the measures implemented by regional authorities were their quality, timeliness and degree of compliance with the set goals. Analysis and generalization of management experience during the corona virus crisis allowed us suggesting long-term measures aimed at the sustainable development of Volgograd region.

Use and E ffect of Google Ads Effect of Google Ads for M arketing S uccess

The present article examines success factors by using and implementing google ads in enterprises. In order to assess the importance of google ads for marketing success, the first step is to classify the importance of google as a search platform. Measured in terms of page views, google was the clear market leader in the search engine market with a market share of 87.66 percent, ahead of Bing and Yahoo. 5.8 billion search queries per day - two trillion search queries per year - also generate opportunities for companies to present themselves and win customers. The results of this research suggest that the keyword for successful online marketing in SEA focuses on relevance. Only if content is created that, in addition to the actual promotion of a product or service, leads to further and for the user target-oriented information, the campaign experiences a quality upgrade, which not only affects the ranking and quality factors, but also the conversion behavior of customers. Based on the execution of a literature review, which has been carried out with emphasis on empirical studies and essays since 2010, four main success factors, such as presentation and content of the website, accordingly keyword marketing, the complementary use of analytics, and ad extension have been evolved.

One-Stop-Shops for Energy Renovation of Dwellings in Europe—Approach to the Factors That Determine Success and Future Lines of Action

Energy renovation of buildings in the European Union would lead to considerable energy savings and a 26% reduction in energy consumption. Despite this and the programmes implemented to promote it in the residential environment in Europe and the United States, the barriers that homes, contractors, and finance companies face to undertake these processes have slowed down the results. The emergence of one-stop-shops (OSSs), promoted by European directives, as integrated management entities to promote the energy renovation of dwellings seems to be a central element in the development of future strategies. This paper looks at experiences of implementing OSSs in Europe, tries to identify the main factors of success, and proposes lines of action to strengthen OSS operation in the long term. To achieve this, documents, regulations, and data on the context were studied, and active cases of OSSs were analysed. Experiences of OSSs that are no longer operating were identified to determine why they had closed down. The results suggested that a lack of structural funding is one reason why activities terminated and that the most successful cases applied an ‘all inclusive’ model and supported families in the entire process.

Shifting Perspectives in Polar Research: Global Lessons on the Barriers and Drivers for Securing Academic Careers in Natural Sciences

The polar regions provide valuable insights into the functioning of the Earth’s regulating systems. Conducting field research in such harsh and remote environments requires strong international cooperation, extended planning horizons, sizable budgets and long-term investment. Consequently, polar research is particularly vulnerable to societal and economic pressures during periods of austerity. The global financial crisis of 2008, and the ensuing decade of economic slowdown, have already adversely affected polar research, and the current COVID-19 pandemic has added further pressure. In this article we present the outcomes of a community survey that aimed to assess the main barriers and success factors identified by academic researchers at all career stages in response to these global crises. The survey results indicate that the primary barriers faced by polar early and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) act at institutional level, while mitigating factors are developed at individual and group levels. Later career scientists report pressure toward taking early retirement as a means of institutions saving money, reducing both academic leadership and the often unrecognized but vital mentor roles that many play. Gender and social inequalities are also perceived as important barriers. Reorganization of institutional operations and more effective strategies for long-term capacity building and retaining of talent, along with reduction in non-research duties shouldered by EMCRs, would make important contributions toward ensuring continued vitality and innovation in the polar research community.

Designing industry 4.0 implementation from the initial background and context of companies

Industry 4.0 is a promising concept that allows industries to meet customers’ demands with flexible and resilient processes, and highly personalised products. This concept is made up of different dimensions. For a long time, innovative digital technology has been thought of as the only dimension to succeed in digital transformation projects. Other dimensions have been identified such as organisation, strategy, and human resources as key while rolling out digital technology in factories. From these findings, researchers have designed industry 4.0 theoretical models and then built readiness models that allow for analysing the gap between the company initial situation and the theoretical model. Nevertheless, this purely deductive approach does not take into consideration a company’s background and context, and eventually favours one single digital transformation model. This article aims at analysing four actual digital transformation projects and demonstrating that the digital transformation’s success or failure depends on the combination of two variables related to a company’s background and context. This research is based on a double approach: deductive and inductive. First, a literature review has been carried out to define industry 4.0 concept and its main dimensions and digital transformation success factors, as well as barriers, have been investigated. Second, a qualitative survey has been designed to study in-depth four actual industry digital transformation projects, their genesis as well as their execution, to analyse the key variables in succeeding or failing. 46 semi-structured interviews were carried out with projects’ members; interviews have been analysed with thematic content analysis. Then, each digital transformation project has been modelled regarding the key variables and analysed with regards to succeeding or failing. Investigated projects have consolidated the models of digital transformation. Finally, nine digital transformation models have been identified. Industry practitioners could design their digital transformation project organisation and strategy according to the right model.

FUZZY-MULTIPLE APPROACH TO RISK ASSESSMENT UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MANAGEMENT DIGITALIZATION IN ENTERPRISE ACTIVITY

Abstract. The success of the enterprise in the market depends on the level of its competitiveness, which, in turn, is determined by the level of competitive advantages of products developed and supplied to the market.Constant updating of the product range by modern enterprises allows them to extend the time of their effective life and ensure success in the long run. To do this, companies must constantly carry out innovative activity aimed at developing, implementing, and bringing new products to market to best meet consumer needs. However, companies must not only explore the main factors of success, but also the sources of risk that accompany the introduction of innovative products to market.The effectiveness of product innovation policy of the dairy industry is determined by the optimal combination of traditional and new products (new convenient packaging, new flavors, size, etc.). The article considers a fuzzy multiple approach to assessing the risk of bringing innovative products of the dairy industry to market.This approach is based on the «RWW» criteria for assessing the risk of bringing new products to market (Real, Win, Worth it), which is considered inthework of George S. Day. Based on the risk assessment criteria, a fuzzy-multiple model of risk assessment for bringing innovative products to market was built. As a result, an assessment for the risk of launching a novelty on the market was obtained for the three components o the RWW instrument and the integrated generalized one.The advantage of using the proposed method is the possibility of forming an aggregate risk indicator for the introduction of a new product on the market, which takes into account not only quantitative but also qualitative characteristics of the evaluation indicators. Keywords:digitalization, risk, digitalization, new product, innovative product, fuzzy multiple, fuzzy logic. JEL Classification С63, 81, M21 Formulas: 9; fig.: 3; tabl.: 12; bibl.: 27.

Implementing Building Information Management (BIM) In Estonian Transport Administration

Digitalisation is the key to efficiency in the road construction Industry. Building Information Management (BIM), being the main developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) Industry, offers a technology as well as processes to bring traditional design and construction practices to the digital era. Estonian Road Administration started the process of BIM implementation to the Estonian road Industry in 2017, when the first planning of pilot projects began. Today, the utilisation of BIM is set as a strategic goal for Estonian Transport Administration (formerly Estonian Road Administration) and a structured approach has been developed in order to overcome such a complex shift in the ways, how road information is being managed in the whole life cycle of a road. Development of principles of data movement, setting technical guidelines and requirements, managing legal issues and communication within the organisation, as well as outside, training of personnel are all aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Successful adaption also needs good communication with the Industry, which is mainly done with Estonian Digital Construction Cluster – a collaboration which brings together the main stakeholders in the sector. In a few years time most of the main sections of the road life cycle will hopefully utilise BIM successfully in Estonia, but the key lies within a well developed and excecuted implementation. The paper describes the development of such a implementation plan and also brings out the main issues and success factors, that are relevant for a successful shift towards digitalisation in the road construction industry.

Design and Development of Web based E-Commerce Application for Logo Sales “Tokologo” Using Codeigniter

A logo can be considered as the main success factor of a company. It is not only the representation of a company vision but also can used to attract public attention. Hence, we develop an e-commerce application to simplify production process of the logo, i.e. by two bridging gaps between companies with logo designers and by properly maintaining reasonable pricing or production cost. We use the waterfall and the UML tools, implemented in the Codeigniter framework, for developing the application. Because both of them are still considered as the most reliable tools in the object-oriented system development. There are also several tests conducted in this work to ensure that the application can work properly according to our design purposes.

Combining personalised medicine and patient-centered care in breast cancer: a systematic review

Abstract Background Breast Cancer (BC) is estimated to cause 2.3 million yearly new cases worldwide. Efforts towards standardized, quality assured and effective care have led to an increasing complexity and specialization of BC management. This systematic review's aim is to describe the state-of-the art of available literature investigating the enactment of personalised medicine and patient-centered care models in BC practice and build a framework towards personalised BC care within a patient-centered model. Methods Databases were searched to retrieve articles reporting on BC management, evaluated in terms of patient-centered and personalised medicine approaches, assessing success factors or limits, in English, from the inception to December 2020. The investigated dimensions for patient-centered care models were audits, communication, informative systems and multidisciplinarity. Concerning Personalised Medicine, investigations were related to molecular boards, genetic testing and shared-clinical decision-making. Results Out of 1885 records, 25 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. The main success factors are multi-professional collaborations with defined roles and responsibilities, training programs on genomic tools and adequate communication strategy (i.e universal genomic language) to involve patients in the decision-making process. Among detected barriers, delays in genetic testing use were linked to the lack of public reimbursement and of clarity in timing and appropriateness. Conclusions Both these models are complementary and needed to ensure effective changes in the path of BC patient management. Our framework aims to the transformation of standardized application of evidence-based medicine into a dynamic and personalised care pathway. Key messages The combination of the two care delivery approaches is scarcely investigated in literature. Our framework would allow to fill such gap and attributes a key role to sharing the decision-making process.
