Quantitative Changes in the Publishing of Lithuanian Scientific Journals in 2015–2022: Public and Private Sectors’ Adaptation to the Changing Conditions

The article analyses the quantitative changes in the Lithuanian scientific journal publishing in 2015-2022. The study reveals the problems of public bibliographic accounting and terminology in order to comprehensively analyse the public and private sector published print and electronic scientific journals. The gaps and uncertainties identified allow for the improvement of official publication records in the future, avoiding ambiguities in the assessment of the publication volumes of scientific journals. Science policy makers and implementers should take the initiative to standardise the definition of scientific journals, as this is the only way to achieve a clearer approach to this form of science communication. Although the annual volume of scientific journal publications has shrunk by 18.1% (from 265 (2015) to 217 (2022) publications), the decline itself has not been sharp. The decline has been stabilised by business involvement, changes in the evaluation of colleges, and the transformation of professional journals, book series and conference proceedings into scientific journals. Flexibility has been provided by electronic publishing instruments, which have reduced the dependence on external financial sources. The public publishing sector has tended to reduce the number of scientific journals in all scientific fields. This was mainly due to the reorganisation of the higher education network, the qualitative requirements for scientific articles and the reorganisation of scientific collectives. The publishing business has seen the greatest potential in the fields of technology and the medical and health sciences, and as a result, the number of journals published in these fields has not declined and continues to grow. Despite the private sector's growth trends, 50% of journals have 30 or more years of publication. This forms the core of Lithuanian scientific journals, which public sector publishers are striving to preserve and integrate into the international scientific environment.

Public–Private Partnership Strategy in Increasing Competitiveness Advantage of Malaysia’s Halal Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry

The Halal Industry Master Plan reflects the commitment and effort of the Malaysian government to encourage private business enterprises in the halal cosmetic and personal care industry to be more competitive. The private business enterprises need a more competitive advantage to compete with international non-certificate halal cosmetic products and more capacity to export halal cosmetic and personal care products. This empirical study was conducted to test the relationship between government support programmes and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises and examine the effect of the mediating variable of business opportunity on the relationship between government and public business enterprises. Data were collected from 84 participants from the top management in private business enterprises in cosmetic and personal care products. Data were analysed by using PLS-SEM. A significant positive relationship between contractual programmes and competitive advantage was found. However, this relationship could have been more significant when business opportunity was included as a mediating variable. Meanwhile, the study found a negative relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage. Surprisingly, the relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage became positive when business opportunity was added to the model. This study focused only on Malaysia’s halal cosmetic and personal care industry. Future studies may be conducted in other halal sectors and other regions.

More than Just a Business: Recasting Literary Publishing in Postwar Germany, 1945–1949

Like other creative industries emerging in mid-1945 from 12 years of Nazi rule, including six years of war, German publishing was ideologically suspect, internationally isolated, and insular. By the 1950s, however, the book trade in the two German successor states was once again varied and vibrant. And it was also tightly integrated into the international publishing business, within which it had become an increasingly active and important presence. This article analyzes the development of the German book publishing industry during the Allied occupation, 1945-1949, through the lens of knowledge transfer. It was a time during which capital-starved German publishers harnessed the political and ideological objectives of the occupiers and their prewar contacts to achieve their own commercial and cultural ambitions, including taking initial steps toward internationalization. The focus is on literary fiction, a genre that constituted a minority of all published output in the postwar period, but which also included all top bestsellers. Literature in translation, moreover, accounted for a substantial proportion of those bestselling books, and at the same time represented a key vehicle for internationalization. Two case studies, one drawn from the Soviet zone of occupation, the later East Germany, and one from the western zones that came to be dominated by the Americans, the later West Germany, illustrate two different, yet remarkably similar paths through which this interplay of ideological alignment and commerce played out among a range of actors and laid the basis for the subsequent development of the industry.

THE EFFECT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON UNDERPRICING DURING THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Initial public offering (IPO) is the main gateway for private institutions to adapt to public business and list company shares on the capital market for trading. By conducting an IPO, an institution can obtain funding from the public to pay for company expansion. One phenomenon that is often encountered by business actors conducting an IPO is an underpricing situation, namely a situation where the share price offered in the primary market is lower than the share price in the secondary market. As a manifestation of the company's obligation to use public price ranges, it is the responsibility of companies across society to manage and use public funds well, transparently and accountably, so that good corporate governance can be implemented well. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of corporate governance on underpricing in organizations conducting IPOs on the Indonesian Capital Market for the 2017-2022 period. Corporate governance is measured through the scale of the board of commissioners, independence of the board of commissioners, management ownership and institutional share ownership. There are 305 groups providing initial public services and indexed on the IDX throughout the 2017-2022 period. Random sampling techniques are used to select samples. The analysis uses a robust linear regression evaluation method. The findings of this research show that the magnitude of the board of commissioners has no effect on underpricing, the of independence commissioners has an impact on underpricing, while management proportion ownership and institutional proportion ownership have a fairly large negative effect on underpricing.

The music publishing business of the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries is one of the most interesting phenomena in Russian culture that makes it possible for us to analyze the specific features of its spatial and temporal development and a vast scholarly range. The article examines the advertising materials, periodical catalogues and price lists of individual printing company, and as a result the necessity arises for a holistic perception of the manufactured assortment and a certain number of its features. As a rule, this is associated with the commercial interests of specialized firms that published and sold musical scores and books about music, the situation in the market of that time, as well as the objective and subjective factors of historical time. The publishing house “Julius Heinrich Zimmerman” was the leader of the industrial segment that made use of advanced technologies in the publishing and sales of sheet music. The scale of this activity is fully reflected in the special catalogues preserved in the funds of the Russian State Library (containing valuable material about their cultural profile, economic strategies, advertising mechanisms and artistic components) — a generalizing example of the work of many competitive enterprises. The focus of our attention lies on catalogues covering the time period between 1885 and 1911 — the time period of the creation of a systemic network trade, the opening of branches in other countries, and the achievement of a stable international reputation. Examination of these samples makes it possible to understand the algorithms of obtaining monetary profit and marketing moves that are also on demand at the present time.

Abstract In the last 40 years, the National Health Service (SNS) has generated health gains that have placed Portugal at the top regarding quality of life for millions of citizens and reduced many of the inequalities in Portuguese society. We revisit the establishment of the Portuguese National Health Service and all the profound legislative changes introduced after the publication of the new Health Basic Law, the definition of the strategic axes of the SNS human resources policy and the establishment of the respective operationalization mechanisms, the approval of the new SNS Statute and the approval of the Organic and Statutes of the Executive Board of the SNS and the creation of Local Health Units (ULS) as public business entities. These legislative changes could be a fundamental step towards strengthening the construction of a fairer and more inclusive SNS, which better responds to the population’s needs through the necessary structural reforms.

ГОСУДАРСТВО И БИЗНЕС: ПАРТНЁРСТВО В НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ЦЕЛЯХ НА ПРИМЕРЕ МНОГОФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ЦЕНТРОВ

In the public sector, strategic partnerships are essential to improve service delivery and foster innovation. Often formed between government and private sector organizations, these alliances play an important role in sharing knowledge, resources, and capabilities to address complex challenges that individual organizations cannot address without government support. Such collaboration can lead to the development of more efficient public business services, which ultimately benefits society as a whole. Multifunctional centers (MFCs) are a successful example of synergy between government and business aimed at improving the quality of public services and increasing their accessibility. This article examines the mechanisms of interaction between government and the private sector in the creation and operation of MFCs, as well as the impact of this partnership on the efficiency of the center and citizen satisfaction. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the study of the partnership between the state and business on the example of multifunctional centers will allow us to develop and implement the most effective areas of implementation, which will eventually lead to the greatest effectiveness of relations between the parties.
