Measure Twice, Cut Once: Unit Profitability, Scalability, and the Exceptional Growth of New Firms

By studying three promising venture pairs with different business models in different nascent markets, we explore how some new firms grow into mature firms and some promising peers do not. The successful firms first use a learning process that begins with (1) focused attention on unit profitability (not growth), then broad (not narrow) learning, and finally active delay (not acceleration) of growth. They then use a capability-building process that (2) shifts to focused attention on unit-profitable growth, then makes long-term investments in profit-oriented capabilities, and finally leverages these capabilities into new products. In contrast, peers with focused attention on growth ironically fail to achieve it. Broadly, we contribute a process theory of exceptional growth that fills the gap between the growth of new firms in the entrepreneurship literature and the growth of mature firms in the strategy and organization theory literatures. Further, we add the importance of learning content—not just learning processes—to the entrepreneurship literature on new firm growth and a rare, novel, and grounded account of the origin of capabilities to the strategy literature on the resource-based view and mature firm growth. Finally, we add to practice the significance of product–market–profit fit and a precise definition of premature scaling.

A Bibilometric Analysis of Assessment as Learning in Higher Education

Assessment in higher education has been dominated by traditional practices that mainly focus on grades for student progression. However, there has been some transformation in assessment due to the advancement in education. Generally, assessment is viewed as central to student learning and experience. Assessment as learning, is not just an addition to learning and teaching, but it presents an opportunity through which students’ involvement in assessment could manifest as part of learning: assessment is learning-oriented. Assessment as Learning in Higher Education is about student empowerment; hence, students take ownership of their own learning process. Furthermore, assessment as learning promotes constructivism through student engagement and knowledge construction. This bibliometric analysis analysed the trends evident from research on assessment as learning and implementation in Higher Education. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analysed using VOSviewer. The thematic analysis approach was also employed. The study reveals that self-assessment is important in promoting student empowerment, which is one of the benefits of assessment as learning. It is important that higher education institutions rethink assessment as learning because this might assist in achieving the 21st-century educational goal of independent learning. The study’s findings confirm that there is a need for constructive alignment of teaching, learning and assessment; hence, assessment as learning becomes more significant. The findings provided an overview of key themes, research gaps and potential areas for future research. The insight that was gained from this bibliometric analysis will be valuable for lecturers, course designers, universities, assessors and researchers seeking to improve assessment in higher education.

What works in global health partnerships? Reflections on a Nigerian-German project collaboration

Abstract Background Global health partnerships for project implementation is a frequent way to address health challenges. Bringing stakeholders from different disciplines, professions, settings and countries together provides opportunity to look at health challenges from different perspectives, develop suitable ideas to tackle them and leverage diverse capacities. Problem In such diverse partnerships, cultural norms, practical realities and institutional practices create challenges for the development of good and equitable relationships. Methods In our project collaboration between the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the German Robert Koch Institute on developing and implementing trainings in infection prevention and control, we demonstrated how a partnership can function. The collaboration followed a participatory approach and was informed by the following principles: - Plan, revise, adapt and implement all project activities as well as its contents participatorily; - A well-coordinated teamwork is key to facilitate operational performance; - Consider everyone as expert in its own domain of influence; - Constant and inclusive communication: maintaining transparency on all aspects and steps both in contents and organization and applying non-violent communication and active listening; - Provide space for reflection on roles and functions and for open discussion on needs and misunderstandings; - Appreciate team work as constantly evolving process of interaction and learning. Results We built a strong resilient team and could leverage team diversity to deliver on project objectives with exceptional quality, adaptability in a highly complex and frequently changing implementation setting. Lessons Working across cultures, disciplines, professions and countries means to develop a joint communication language and an understanding of the other. It is challenging and dynamic, requires additional space/time and attention, but offers personal growth and self-realization. Key messages • Using a participatory approach in teams can leverage team diversity to deliver on project objectives and bring about a high professional and personal self-realization. • There are concrete implementable ways of teamwork in international interdisciplinary global health collaborations that enhance quality of results in complex implementation settings.

Building more entrepreneurial organizations through external innovation contests

AbstractFirms are increasingly adopting innovation contests to obtain ideas for new products and services from external parties, but many firms may not be sufficiently entrepreneurial to benefit from those ideas. Using an inductive longitudinal case study of three financial service firms, we explore the value of external innovation contests for less entrepreneurial and stagnant firms. Our findings indicate that stagnant firms indeed struggle to benefit from ideas generated through external innovation contests. However, we also show that firms undergo a structural change process toward higher entrepreneurial orientation through such contests. In particular, they become aware of an organizational readiness gap and act on it by (i) developing entrepreneurial skills, (ii) collaborating with external partners, and (iii) adapting organizational design and governance. Based on our findings, we propose an original framework for a corporate entrepreneurial learning process triggered by the innovation contest experience.

Predictors of adolescent well-being around the globe: are students from Confucian East Asia different?

PurposeUsing rich data from nearly 400,000 15-year-olds across 70 middle- and high-income countries and economies participating in PISA 2018, this study investigates (1) global predictors of adolescent subjective well-being (SWB), and (2) differences in adolescent life satisfaction, its predictors and endowments with predictors across world regions and cultures. A particular focus lies on comparing Confucian East Asia (CEA) with other world regions.MethodsData were analyzed using multiple linear regressions and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition. As measures of adolescent well-being, this study employs life satisfaction, affective well-being, and meaning in life.ResultsGlobally, adolescent well-being outcomes are found to be most strongly linked to gender, personality, relative SES, relationship quality, peer SWB, autonomy and the learning environment, as well as local cultural factors. Estimations by world region reveal several culture-specific explanations for interregional well-being gaps. In particular, notoriously low levels of life satisfaction among students from CEA countries are found to be associated with low self-efficacy, low peer well-being, as well as with high emotional interdependence compared to other world regions. Emotional interdependence is more strongly experienced among CEA adolescents compared to adolescents from any other world region. Moreover, it is found to be more strongly associated with life satisfaction in the CEA region than in any other region. In line with the former, CEA students show stronger links between other relational factors (parents’ emotional support; sense of belonging at school) and life satisfaction compared to most other regions.ImplicationsThis study suggests that among the environmental factors that shape the experience of adolescent lives, relationship and cultural factors play key roles and are closely intertwined. Parents, educators and policymakers around the world should focus on creating a positive school environment that promotes well-being, student self-efficacy, a sense of belonging, and a safe space in which failure is accepted as part of the learning process. This is particularly needed in Confucian East Asian countries.

Achieving view-distance and -angle invariance in motion prediction using a simple network

Recently, human motion prediction has gained significant attention and achieved notable success. However, current methods primarily rely on training and testing with ideal datasets, overlooking the impact of variations in the viewing distance and viewing angle, which are commonly encountered in practical scenarios. In this study, we address the issue of model invariance by ensuring robust performance despite variations in view distances and angles. To achieve this, we employed Riemannian geometry methods to constrain the learning process of neural networks, enabling the prediction of invariances using a simple network. Furthermore, this enhances the application of motion prediction in various scenarios. Our framework uses Riemannian geometry to encode motion into a novel motion space to achieve prediction with an invariant viewing distance and angle using a simple network. Specifically, the specified path transport square-root velocity function is proposed to aid in removing the view-angle equivalence class and encode motion sequences into a flattened space. Motion coding by the geometry method linearizes the optimization problem in a non-flattened space and effectively extracts motion information, allowing the proposed method to achieve competitive performance using a simple network. Experimental results on Human 3.6M and CMU MoCap demonstrate that the proposed framework has competitive performance and invariance to the viewing distance and viewing angle.

Children with disabilities are children who have physical or mental deficiencies and have difficulty communicating in social environments, one of which is in the school environment. This research aims to find out what forms occur between teachers and students with special needs in inclusive schools. In communicating, teachers need to consider the characteristics of students with special needs to be able to determine the appropriate form of communication so that learning objectives can be achieved. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Research was conducted in elementary schools. The research results show that there are several factors that influence the form of teacher communication towards students with special needs. This research focuses on the communication patterns used by teachers in the teaching and learning process of children with disabilities. The diversity of developmental characteristics and obstacles they experience will lead to different communication models that we can present to them in helping them to carry out social interactions. The effectiveness of the communication that occurs with them really depends on the instruments they use to help them communicate with all their limitations.

Empowering Educators: Integrating Sustainable Health in Healthcare Professionals’ Training

Abstract Despite efforts to realize Agenda 2030, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) may not be achieved. This already now impacts public health and healthcare, including the training of providers. “Sustainable health” addresses this urgency by emphasizing health as key to achieving the SDGs. While the UN developed a competency framework for teachers in 2011, the specific competencies needed to train in sustainable health remain unclear. Transformative learning (TL) is crucial to integrating sustainable development in higher education (HE), yet its application in the education of health professionals is limited. TL entails a profound transformative journey that reshapes perceptions and experiences, necessitating a shift in the educator’s role from information provider to facilitator of transformative processes. According to a 2019 literature review on TL for healthcare students, teachers need detailed and practical guidelines on how to implement TL. We aimed to develop an evidence-based matrix outlining a) the educational strategies needed to ensure that students develop sustainable health competencies, and b) the competencies teachers need to use these strategies in a quality-assured way. We conducted a literature review to identify key dimensions of teacher competencies and educational strategies for sustainable health. We surveyed teachers at Karolinska Institutet to assess the relevance of these competencies and teachers’ confidence in using them. Focus group discussions were conducted, to explore barriers and enablers to develop competencies and use educational strategies. We present a competency framework for HE teachers, accompanied by recommended educational strategies and self-assessment tools to gauge further training needs. To be used by teachers and educational developers, it will be openly accessible in Swedish and English. This study contributes to enhancing competencies in training health professionals to contribute to achieving sustainable health for all. Key messages • Educators need to be equipped with competencies to lead transformative learning processes to enable future generations of health professionals to achieve sustainable health for all. • Educators need to be supported to transform their role and practice to provide relevant training for future health care providers.
