The impact of a payer-provider joint venture on healthcare value.

To examine how a novel payer-provider joint venture (JV) between one payer and multiple competitive delivery systems in New Hampshire (NH), which included value-based payment, care management, and non-financial supports, impacted healthcare value and payer and provider group experiences. We conducted a mixed-methods study. We used a quasi-experimental longitudinal difference-in-differences design to examine the impact of the JV (which started in January 2016 and ended in December 2020) on healthcare utilization, quality, and spending, using members in Maine (ME) as a control group. We also analyzed patient uptake of the JV's care management program using routinely collected administrative data and assessed payer and provider group leaders' perspectives about the JV via semi-structured interviews. We used administrative and claims data from 2013 to 2019 in a commercially insured population under 65 years in NH and ME. We also used administrative data on care management eligibility and uptake and conducted semi-structured interviews with payer and provider group leaders affiliated with the JV. The JV was associated with no sustained change in medical utilization, quality, and spending throughout the study period. In the first year of the JV, there was a $142 (95% confidence interval: $41, $243) increase in pharmaceutical spending per member and a 13% (4.4%, 25%) relative increase in days covered for diabetes medications. Only 15% of eligible members engaged in care management, which was a key component of the JV's multi-pronged approach. In a disconnect from the empirical findings, payer and provider group leaders believed that the JV reduced healthcare costs and improved quality. Our findings provide evidence for future payer-provider JVs and demonstrate the importance of having a valid control group when evaluating JVs and value-based payment arrangements.

Public support and firm performance: a systematic review and research agenda

ABSTRACT Public support for enterprises contributes to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. The impact evaluation is a relevant and complex topic that still receives relatively limited scholarly attention. The study consists of an integrative review of a systematic selection of 60 articles published between 1998 and 2023 on public financial and non-financial support and firm performance outcomes. The study first describes the state-of-the-art publications on public support and firm performance in terms of journal outlets, publishing year, methodologies, country of origin, sample characteristics, and unit of analysis. Through an in-depth content analysis of articles, the review proposes an integrative framework describing the relationships between public support and firm performance outcomes, also underlining interacting variables. Our critical analysis and synthesis illustrate what is confirmed in the literature and what is not. We propose an agenda for future research, contributing to the debate on enterprise policy evaluation. This review has practical implications as it contrasts public policies’ impacts on different geographical contexts, providing food for thought for practitioners and policymakers.

Monitoring, mentoring and nurturing value in government venture capital entrepreneur development programmes

PurposeThis research explores the provision of monitoring, mentoring and nurturing in a government venture capital (GVC) entrepreneur development programme and how these activities might create value for high potential startups (HPSUs).Design/methodology/approachA qualitative in-depth case study pursued the research question – how does GVC entrepreneur development programme provision of non-financial monitoring, mentoring and nurturing create value for HPSU businesses? The paper uses quasi-random sampling of case entrepreneurs selected from publicly available lists of HPSUs and interviews with entrepreneurs, employees and co-founders, in tandem with reviewing HPSU documentation.FindingsFindings highlight monitoring, mentoring and nurturing create value for HPSU entrepreneurs, and that GVC entrepreneur development programmes offer greater value to HPSUs than GVC investment alone. Programme activities build capacity by skills acquisition, access to a variety of external experts in non-technical business functions plus national and international private VC networks.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides evidence that robust monitoring, mentoring and nurturing activities of a GVC entrepreneur development programme creates entrepreneur readiness for private investor engagement.Practical implicationsThis research highlights the influence of monitoring, mentoring and nurturing activities on HPSU entrepreneurs embedded in a GVC entrepreneur development programme. HPSUs seem better prepared for investor interactions by considering “non-monetary needs” in their funding strategies.Originality/valueThe findings illustrate how a GVC entrepreneur development programme can positively impact GVC-entrepreneur influence and outcomes. In offering an in-depth case study of better practice, we extend prior literature on how GVCs can help bridge the equity gap by providing value adding non-financial supports, without creating a false VC market where GVCs crowd out private investors.

Key Factors for Student Startup Success: Insights from Higher Education Professors

The study aims to identify and analyse the key factors of student start-ups from the perspective of higher academic institution professors. Entrepreneurial students in higher education face challenges such as limited funding, scarce resources, lack of business experience and struggling to balance academic commitments with their start-up ventures. Additionally, they struggle with navigating complex business regulations and often lack access to proper networks or mentorship. This research contributes to a better understanding of how the entrepreneurial ecosystem in higher education institutions can support student start-up initiatives to succeed. For the research, a survey was conducted targeting ten experts from higher education institutions engaged with business or entrepreneurial study programmes. The research used the content validation method and descriptive statistical analysis to evaluate the responses, focusing on measures of central tendency and variability to determine the degree of consensus among respondents regarding the 36 statements provided. The study results revealed that while respondents agreed on the importance of student attitudes towards failure and self-confidence, there was strong disagreement among them regarding the belief that non-business students have a lesser chance of creating a successful startup. Also, experts suggested that entrepreneurship education should place more emphasis on the development of students' entrepreneurial mindset, which is considered to be an essential quality for the uncertain journey of entrepreneurship. Finally, the survey results indicated that networking and experiential learning are crucial for startup development. This underscores the importance of scientific debate not only on innovative funding models but also on non-financial support systems that surpass traditional educational methods in higher education environments.

‘We kept having this internal conflict around the language of handout and hand-up’: independent living philosophy and rural disability services during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract In the United States, Centers for Independent Living (CILs) staff were at the frontlines of responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural people with disabilities. Growing out of the Independent Living (IL) Movement , CILs emphasize independence, autonomy, choice, and control for disabled people and do not typically have financial or other resources to give away. To better understand the experiences of CIL staff in using the CARES Act monies and serving rural people with disabilities, researchers at the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities in collaboration with the Association for Programs in Rural Independent Living (APRIL) used thematic coding to analyze the transcripts of eight national online peer support meetings that were facilitated by APRIL. We found CIL staff described distributing financial assistance to cover essential household needs such as rent, utilities, internet access, and various items. In turn, they also shared that they grappled with conflicts created by the influx of CARES Act funding, which put CIL staff in the position of providing what some described as ‘handouts’ rather than CILs’ usual work of providing consumers with a ‘hand-up’ through training and other non-financial supports. This project highlights a unique challenge CIL staff faced as they attempted to stay true to IL philosophy while concurrently meeting the needs of rural people with disabilities in crisis during the pandemic.

Assessment of Subsidies for Construction Businesses in Nigeria: Evolution from an Oil-Based Economy to an Infrastructural-Based Economy

Subsidies are financial or non-financial aids or support given to an economic sector, individual or organization by their government to promote the economy and achieve specific policy objectives. This study assessed the use of subsidies for construction businesses in Nigeria with a view to revolutionize the country from oil-based economy to infrastructural-based economy. A structured questionnaire was administered to four hundred and four (404) construction business stakeholders, and three hundred and four (304) representing 75.25% were retrieved from the respondents. Findings revealed that buying and selling of construction materials with Mean Score (MS) of 3.97 is the most successful construction businesses in Nigeria. The major factors considered in rating construction business performance are profitability to the investor (MS=3.70), resource management and control (MS=3.68), and cost performance (MS=3.63). The study concluded that the establishment of construction related institutions (MS=3.97), enforcement of health, safety, and hazards prevention policies (MS=3.91), exchange rate moderation for construction business (MS=3.86), and implementation of the National Building Code (NBC) (MS=3.85) will grow the infrastructural economy. The study recommended subsidies for construction businesses in Nigeria to boost the infrastructural sectors and the economy.

THE IMPACT OF MICRO FINANCE SERVICES ON WOMEN'S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT; EVIDENCE FROM KURUNEGALA DISTRICT IN SRI LANKA

Women's economic empowerment has become one of the most pressing concerns in the world as empowering women economically, can make a significant contribution to the expansion of the economy and their immediate families to maintain a sustainable way of life. The concept of microfinance has developed as a tool to obtain both financial and non-financial support for poor people's self-empowerment. Women who come from low-income families are given the ability to make a valuable contribution to the economy through the use of microfinance. In the Sri Lankan context, female labor force participation is comparatively at a lower level, and thus more women are economically inactive. Therefore, microfinance services are vital to low-income women in both rural and urban areas. Due to the vitality of this aspect, this research aims to examine the impact of microcredit, micro saving, financial training, and advisory services on women's economic empowerment in Sri Lanka. The population used in this research is microfinance women beneficiaries in Kurunegala District, and the researcher selected 380 microfinance women beneficiaries as the sample size of this study using random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using structured, self-administered, web-based questionnaires and personal interviews, where the data set was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this research show that microcredit, micro savings, financial training, and advisory services significantly and positively impact women's economic empowerment. Accordingly, the researcher recommends microfinance institutions to increase the granting of microcredit facilities to poor women in the Kurunagala district, as these institutions have given less loan amounts than applied. Also, it is recommended to reduce interest rates and increase payback periods, as high interest rates are an additional burden on the customers. Furthermore, the government should pay more attention to these low-income women and conduct some programs to improve their knowledge and careers. Meanwhile, microfinance institutions should improve their management capacity and strive to reach out to women in need to enhance their economic empowerment and improve their contribution to the workforce and economy.

Readiness for Change in the Hospitality Industry in Indonesia

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the influence of organizational culture, perceived organizational support, and organizational commitment on readiness for change. This type of quantitative research is quantitative research where the sample is 111 respondents who were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results showed that organizational culture, perceived organizational support, and organizational commitment positively affect readiness for change. Studies show that if the organizational culture, perceived organizational support, and organizational commitment are reasonable, it will increase employee readiness for change during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This research implies that The Royale Krakatau Hotel can create a web-based knowledge management system or application that can distribute employee knowledge anywhere and anytime. Second, it is important to pay attention to non-financial support, such as providing a more transparent employee of the month so that employees feel that the assessment is correct. Third, the organization can routinely look up to and calculate the workload of each employee so that the compensation and workload provided by the company are by the provisions without harming employees. Fourth, a change agent should be formed to manage any resistance to change and be more sensitive to the reasons why employees resist change to improve the employees' ability to understand and manage resistance to change.

Assessing Entrepreneurial Sentiment: A Study of SIDBI's Impact in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

This study delves into the assessment of entrepreneurial sentiment towards the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and its impact on Eastern Uttar Pradesh (U.P.). Entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in economic development, particularly in regions like the Eastern U.P., which are characterized by diverse socio-economic challenges. SIDBI, established as a specialized financial institution for SME promotion, offers a range of financial and non-financial support to entrepreneurs across India. However, the perception of entrepreneurs towards SIDBI's activities in Eastern U.P. remains underexplored. This study employs a mixed-method approach, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to evaluate entrepreneurs' awareness, utilization, and perception of SIDBI's initiatives. The findings aim to shed light on the effectiveness of SIDBI's interventions, the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, and opportunities for enhancing support mechanisms. Ultimately, this research seeks to inform policymakers, financial institutions, and entrepreneurial support organizations about the ground realities and aspirations of entrepreneurs in the Eastern U.P., thereby facilitating informed decision-making and fostering inclusive growth.

The commercialisation of microfinance: deploying management control to address institutional complexity

PurposeThe study aimed to examine the transformation of a non-profit microfinance institution (MFI) into a hybrid social enterprise, and the role of formal and informal controls in reconciling the discordance between the two conflicting (social and commercial) objectives that emerged due to the transformation.Design/methodology/approachA case study of a non-governmental MFI located in Southeast Asian country was conducted. This case study drew on the institutional logics perspective as an analytical tool to understand the complexity of change and the mobilisation of management control practices to align two conflicting goals at the core of the MFI’s organisational strategies. This study adopted the interpretive approach and relied on multiple data sources, including semi-structured interviews and documentary evidence.FindingsThe application of commercial principles in the operations of the MFI occurred in several phases. First, the MFI changed from a non-profit business model to a hybrid social enterprise, which pursued a double bottom-line strategy. The informal control practices inherent in the organisation’s culture created a high level of social awareness embedded within a social logic. In contrast, the formal control practices were directly linked to the new commercial logic. The synergy between the two logics was optimised by reinforcing formal and informal control practices.Originality/valueThis study offers insights into the role of control systems in reconciling the discordance between competing social and financial objectives within a non-governmental MFI that enjoys substantial financial and nonfinancial support from the government.

Community Health Assessment to Identify and Prioritize Health Problems

Background: Community health assessment is a process in which researchers achieve a proper understanding of the community health status through the community active participation. The present study was conducted aiming to identify and prioritize health problems of Meshkin Tappeh village with people’s direct involvement. Methods: This study was conducted using the community assessment method in Meshkin Tappeh village in the city of Bueen Zahra, Iran, based on the North Carolina model. One person was selected from each household, and a total of 271 people were entered into the study. The community health assessment process was performed in 8 stages and problem prioritizing was also carried out using Hanlon’s scoring matrix method. Results: At the village level, 32 problems were identified in 6 areas, including problems related to health area (31.2%), municipal services area (21.8%), educational and cultural area (15.6%), economic and employment area (12.5%), social and citizenship rights area (12.5%), and security area (6.4%). Based on the matrix table scoring criteria, the problem of drug peddlers (15 points), poverty and low income (14 points), dropping out of school (13 points), emergency preparedness in unexpected events (12 points), and non-financial support for many health costs (12 points) were identified as 5 main problems at the village level. Conclusion: In this research, a broad spectrum of social, cultural, economic, and health problems were identified. Although the selected priority for further assessment was allocated to the problem of drug peddlers, solving all these problems requires the consultation and cooperation of all public institutions and organizations and the people.

Comparison of HPV-positive triage strategies combining extended genotyping with cytology or p16/ki67 dual staining in the Italian NTCC2 study

Each high-risk HPV genotype has different oncogenic potential, and the risk of CIN3+ varies according to genotype. We evaluated the performance of different strategies of HPV-positivity triage combining cytology, p16/ki67 dual staining (DS), and extended genotyping. Samples from 3180 consecutive women from the NTCC2 study (NCT01837693) positive for HPV DNA at primary screening, were retrospectively analyzed by the BD Onclarity HPV Assay, which allows extended genotyping. Genotypes were divided into three groups based on the risk of CIN3+. HPV DNA-positive women were followed up for 24 months or to clearance. Combining the three groups of genotypes with cytology or DS results we identify a group of women who need immediate colposcopy (PPV for CIN3+ from 7.8 to 20.1%), a group that can be referred to 1-year HPV retesting (PPV in those HPV-positive at retesting from 2.2 to 3.8), and a group with a very low 24-month CIN3+ risk, i.e. 0.4%, composed by women cytology or DS negative and positive for HPV 56/59/66 or 35/39/68 or negative with the Onclarity test, who can be referred to 3-year retesting. Among the baseline HPV DNA positive/cytology or DS negative women, the extended genotyping allows to stratify for risk of CIN3+, and to identify a group of women with a risk of CIN3+ so low in the next 24 months that they could be referred to a new screening round after 3 years. Italian Ministry of Health (grant number RF-2009-1536040). Hologic-Genprobe, Roche Diagnostics, and Becton & Dickinson provided financial and non-financial support.

Exploring the Moderating Effect of Generational Status on the Link Between External Environment and Entrepreneurial Motivation of Indian Women Entrepreneurs

This study examines how external environmental factors affect the motivation of first- and second-generation women entrepreneurs in India, and how their generational status moderates this relationship. We used a survey design method to collect data from 459 women business owners in India, who were classified as first- or second-generation based on whether they were the first or second generation in their family to start a business. We employed the partial least-squares structural equation modelling method to test our hypotheses and evaluate our model. We found that external environmental factors, such as education and training, financial support, government policies and non-financial support, had positive effects on entrepreneurial motivation for both groups of women entrepreneurs. However, we also found that generational status had a significant moderating effect on the link between education and training and entrepreneurial motivation, but not on the other three external environmental factors. Specifically, we found that education and training influenced second-generation women entrepreneurs more strongly than first-generation women entrepreneurs. Our findings have important implications for management practice and policymaking, as well as for the literature on women entrepreneurship. We suggest that concerned authorities should develop differential strategies for first- and second-generation women entrepreneurs, taking into account their different responses to external environmental factors. We also suggest that future research should explore other internal and external environmental factors that might interact with generational status or other variables to shape women entrepreneurs’ motivation.

Bridging the gap or widening the divide? Exploring the dual role of social capital in healthcare financing in rural Uttar Pradesh, India

Social capital, defined as the nature of the social relationship and the resources embedded within the social network of an individual or community, influences how individuals within a group interact and collaborate within their communities or organizations. While it is acknowledged that social capital can be drawn from as a coping strategy to mitigate financial stress, there is a notable absence of the lived experience in the literature on how social capital influences households to tap resources from their social network. We have investigated the role of social capital in healthcare financing in rural Uttar Pradesh, India, highlighting the challenges faced by households in managing healthcare expenses. We took a qualitative research approach, conducting in-depth interviews with 24 households in the Hardoi District of Uttar Pradesh in August 2017 to explore participants’ lived experience of accruing support from their community during their healthcare crisis. Data analysis followed a thematic content analysis approach. The study finds that households leverage social capital for both financial and non-financial support during health crises. Social networks, trust, and community cohesion play critical roles in resource acquisition. However, overreliance on social capital can be coercive, leading to inequity, privacy invasion, and dependency. Though social capital serves as a crucial resource of support in healthcare emergencies, its unequal distribution and potential for misuse highlight the need for more structured health financing policies in India. The findings underscore the importance of integrating community-driven resources into broader health financing strategies, considering local social structures and community dynamics.

Current state and prospects for the development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry

The main stages of the development of the Russian medical and pharmaceutical industry in 2010 are presented in the context of the dominance of large foreign companies producing medicines and medical devices in the pharmaceutical market. This reflects the political and economic restrictive measures illegally taken against Russia by the European Union, the United States of America, and some other unfriendly countries and has influenced the dynamics of the development of the medical and pharmaceutical industry in our country. To harmonize approaches to the production and quality control of medicines, this paper presents the stages of large-scale reforms on the transition of the Russian pharmaceutical industry to standards of good manufacturing practice and the implementation of state programs aimed at modernizing the industrial segment of the pharmaceutical industry. As part of the improvement of the standardization system of medicines, the study also presents the characteristics of the XIII, XIV, and XV editions of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation published during the study period, in the development of which employees of the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov participated. The role and purpose of the creation of the developed Pharmacopoeia of the Eurasian Economic Union, approved by the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, is also reflected in this paper. This article describes the phased implementation of federal target programs, state programs, and other strategic plans and measures of nonfinancial support from the state, which have significantly expanded competencies in the field of development and production of medicines and medical devices and increased their output during the period analyzed. The development of medicines and increasing their production volumes with the help of pharmaceutical clusters, which acted as the “locomotives” of the industry, and various projects in establishing the production of innovative medical products with the help of the Industrial Development Fund, which increased the investment attractiveness of these sectors of the national economic complex, played an important role. The results revealed the essence of the changes concerning the revival of the activities of industrial pharmacies, considering a personalized approach to the treatment of patients. The study also presents an assessment of the Pharmaceutical industry Development Strategy for the period up to 2030.

States' investment in recovery support services: An exploratory analysis

IntroductionRecovery support services (RSS), while not yet precisely defined, nevertheless have a longstanding role in managing chronic illnesses including substance use disorders (SUDs). This exploratory study is the first to identify the amounts of money that states invest from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Block Grants; SAMHSA discretionary grant and state-appropriated sources; the types of organizations from which RSS are purchased; and the non-financial supports states provide for RSS. MethodsThe study is a mixed method exploratory analysis, based on three data sources: content analysis of all 51 (Washington, D.C. included) Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG) state applications; in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of ten states and one territory; and a structured electronic survey sent to all SABG recipients. Forty states and 2 territories returned a total of 42 questionnaires from 56 possible states and territories (75%). Thirty-two of the responding states provided complete FY2022 financial data. ResultsStates reporting financial data spent $412 million from SABG, SAMHSA discretionary grants, and state appropriations for RSS. An estimate based on extrapolating regionally grouped per capita spending averages to non-responding state populations projected $775 million spent from these sources for all states. The study also calculated per capita and SUD prevalent population expenditures from these sources for each state. States purchase services from recovery community organizations and SUD treatment organizations in equal proportions, as well as from statewide recovery support organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, community health centers, and justice system organizations. Purchased services are not uniformly defined, but include community centers, peer staff, housing, and other support services. States provide non-financial support in forms that include technical assistance, community engagement, practice guidelines, and regulatory frameworks. ConclusionsThis first report of states' investments establishes a baseline to serve as a reference point for future analysis of these expenditures, as well as a foundation to which other sources of RSS funding such as Medicaid and other state and federal (e.g. HRSA, CDC, DOJ) dollars may be added. Uniform definitions for RSS will be necessary to support future reporting, accountability, and research. Finally, newly formed peer-based provider organizations need particular attention in order to be sustainable.

Tourism and hospitality industry: A case study of Polish female firms

The objective was to identify the firms’ short-run and long-run strategies that contributed to firms’ development, job creation and economic growth of local economies, and employees’ and customers’ satisfaction across all Butler’s stages of development. The results indicate that the firms have been successful supporting environmental sustainability, conservation of natural resources, and protection of cultural elements of local communities. During the Covid-19 shutdown, the female entrepreneurs assessed past strategies, invested in development and production of new and better-quality products and services, advanced employees’ and entrepreneurial skills, and transformation of digital and production infrastructure. The study identified the importance of government policies critical for entrepreneurship success, particularly during global crises. The paper illustrates several lessons focused specifically on fostering a supportive work environment that enables firms to endure through and successfully recover from market shocks or global crises. The study concludes that all female entrepreneurs were experienced, motivated, visionary, goal-oriented, and innovative regarding their entrepreneurial undertakings while focusing on understanding the needs and maximizing employee and customer satisfaction. The resiliency they developed enabled them to stay focused on their goals and maintain successful operations while facing insufficient financial and non-financial support, market challenges, and global crises.

Current trends in digital transformation and their impact on the national economy

In today’s realities, digital transformation plays a very important role in the economic development of the country. This is due both to the high rate of scientific and technological progress and to the common within the economic relations, consumer preferences. Thus, it remains important to assess the impact of digitalization on the welfare of international and national economies. The research examines the current situation in Azerbaijan, one of the countries in which the principles of digital transformation are being actively implemented. The main research methods were analysis, induction, as well as methods of statistical data processing. The research assessed the main reason for the acceleration of the pace of digital transformation in the world and Azerbaijan, that being the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. Although it was a problem for many companies at the initial stage, subsequently it allowed them to fit into the new economic realities. Thus, at the moment in Azerbaijan, there is a fairly well-developed system for managing the processes of digitalization. The national policy of the country is aimed at motivating enterprises to change the principles of their functioning into more innovative ones, which is quite well received by the institutions responsible for this. A particularly important role is played by financial and non-financial support for small and medium-sized enterprises, the provision of educational programs for citizens in terms of increasing literacy about the latest digital technologies, and the introduction of digital technologies in public administration processes, in which Azerbaijan has been able to achieve significant success. However, there are still various problems that require a solution from the authorities in the shortest possible time. Thus, this study brings new knowledge to the theory of modern digital transformation and allows us to consider the current state of the Azerbaijani economy in more detail
