Management and Organization Review Special Issue ‘Coopetition and Innovation in Transforming Economies’

This Management and Organization Review (MOR) special issue on ‘Coopetition and Innovation in Transforming Economies’ aims to explore key features of the strategic relationship between coopetition and innovation in transforming economies. It is generally accepted that innovation can be a fundamental driver for economic growth, new sources of employment, and dwindling economic disparity. However, increasingly activities of innovation no longer take place primarily within the firm but are often the outcome of the overall set of relationships of the firm. The two phenomena of competition and cooperation have become more and more inter-related, thus creating new opportunities, affecting innovation and change. This reality is of special interest in the context of transforming economies’ transition to higher value adding economic growth and development due to, for example, the specific moderating or mediating role of national cultures and philosophical inspiration (e.g., Taoism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Buddhism) in shaping the coopetitive mindset (Dagnino, Di Guardo, & Padula, 2012) and the potential differentiation between countries and regional ecologies.

What Helps Children and Young People Move Forward Following Child Maltreatment?

A year (2014-2015) of plants in Proteomics journal. Progress in wet and dry methodologies, moving from protein catalogs, and the view of classic plant biochemists.

The present review is an update of the previous one published in Proteomics 2015 Reviews special issue [Jorrin-Novo, J. V. et al., Proteomics 2015, 15, 1089-1112] covering the July 2014-2015 period. It has been written on the bases of the publications that appeared in Proteomics journal during that period and the most relevant ones that have been published in other high-impact journals. Methodological advances and the contribution of the field to the knowledge of plant biology processes and its translation to agroforestry and environmental sectors will be discussed. This review has been organized in four blocks, with a starting general introduction (literature survey) followed by sections focusing on the methodology (in vitro, in vivo, wet, and dry), proteomics integration with other approaches (systems biology and proteogenomics), biological information, and knowledge (cell communication, receptors, and signaling), ending with a brief mention of some other biological and translational topics to which proteomics has made some contribution.

Learning to be A Peacemaking Lawyer: Law Student Perspectives on Building Peacemaking into Law School Curricula, Building Paths to Practice for New Lawyers, and Interdisciplinary Training

From our perspectives as students, we reflect on the teachings of Lawyer as Peacemaker, a Winter 2015 course taught at UCLA School of Law — the school's course devoted to peacemaking lawyering. Utilizing our newfound peacemaking worldview, we share our collective reactions to the Lawyer as Peacemaker course and the ten articles in the Family Court Review Special Issue on Peacemaking for Divorcing Families. We then advocate for integrating peacemaking into law school curricula and experiential learning offerings and make recommendations on how law schools today can prepare students to practice peace. Key Points for the Family Court Community: This article is a collaborative work product of three students who come from an array of work experience, backgrounds and interests and from their newly founded peacemaking worldview, the three students collaboratively analyzed ideas presented in the Lawyer as Peacemaker course and the articles from this issue. The peacemaking mediation allows the parties more control over their legal disputes and allows the control of the costs that come with litigation. Peacemaking involves a holistic and collaborative method, involving mental health professionals to financial advisors as well as legal professionals. However, peacemaking skill courses are not readily available to many law students while studying in law school. This valuable asset should be made available more extensively to law students interested in family law.

Introduction to the Special Issue on Creativity in Innovation

Managing creativity for innovation is a key challenge in today’s economy; therefore, the management of ideas will play in increasing role in driving the growth and resilience of organizations. Rather than simple inspired insights, ideas have to be addressed as complex socio-cognitive processes, to be organized and managed. To benefit from the full value of new ideas, management must constantly balance the formal and the informal, the logic of creation and the logic of production, and must learn to couple idea-generation processes and innovation processes through renewed knowledge management practices. In this introduction to the Technology Innovation Management Review's special issue on Creativity in Innovation, the guest editors highlight the need to manage: i) ideation processes to foster creativity, ii) the tension that exists between the logic of creation and production; and iii) disruptive innovation to transform a traditional industry. Today… corporations spend a great deal of money and time trying to increase the originality of their employees… but such programs make no difference unless management also learns to recognize the valuable ideas among the many novel ones, and then finds ways of implementing them.

Special Issue on International Nonthermal Food Processing Workshop: FIESTA 2012

The first part of this Food Engineering Reviews Special Issue highlights outstanding review articles presented at the International Nonthermal Food Processing Workshop— FIESTA 2012, which was held in Melbourne, Australia, on October 16–17, 2012. Selected speakers were invited to submit manuscripts based on their presentations, which were then peer-reviewed in accordance with the standards of this journal. The workshop is an annual event organized by the Nonthermal Processing Division of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and the European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) in a number of countries around the world. In 2012, the workshop was hosted by the CSIRO, Australia’s National Research Organization, as part of the biennial Innovative Foods Conference Series, FIESTA, where the theme was ‘‘Innovative Processes for Sustainable, Safe and Healthy Foods.’’ The 2-day workshop program featured more than 20 internationally renowned speakers and 40 poster displays to further advance science and technology on fundamentals and applications of nonthermal and other advanced food processing technologies. To add value and enable the sustainable manufacture of healthier food products was the primary focus of this event. Other relevant topics featured in the workshop included consumers, markets and sustainability, which are all essential elements for successful adoption and commercialization of emerging technologies. The workshop was a major success attracting over 170 delegates from 18 countries and 86 organizations representing industry, academia and government. The workshop was also attended by several virtual delegates which followed presentations online and on Twitter. We are delighted to include five high-quality reviews on nonthermal food processing where the emphasis is on food engineering aspects. These articles cover atmospheric pressure plasma, ultra-high-pressure homogenization (UHPH), high-pressure processing (HPP), megasonic separation and ultrasound processing. In particular, this Special Issue reviews the latest research on plasma applications on solid and liquid foods, the effects and novel applications of the UHPH process, the application of HPP in fish muscles, design aspects of megasonic separation reactors and the latest research on the application of ultrasound to conventional dairy processes. We gratefully acknowledge the support of all workshop sponsors and thank all authors and reviewers for making possible this valuable, high-quality contribution to the body of knowledge on nonthermal processing of food.

“Harvesting our collective intelligence”: Black British feminism in post-race times

Synopsis At the heart of the contingent and critical project of black British feminism is the postcolonial impulse to chart counter-narratives and memories of racialised and gendered domination. This paper takes up this challenge by exploring the struggles of a new generation of black British feminists, 30 years after the landmark publication of Feminist Review's special issue Many Voices One Chant and the edited collection Black British Feminism which followed. The paper explores the changing articulation of black British feminism at a time where foundational categories such as ‘blackness’ as a political construct continue to have purchase but where new forms of activism are more fleeting and contingent in response to the changing post-racial terrain.

Observers turning into participants: Shifting perspectives on religion and armed conflict in Western news coverage

In this empirical contribution to the Tocqueville Review special issue on multiple collective identities, I explore how Western Europeans and US-Americans make sense of the mobilization of religious convictions and identities in armed conflicts and international terrorism in their respective news media. I analyze a total amount of 460,917 newspaper articles from the liberal and conservative quality press of five Western European countries (Germany, United Kingdom, France, Ireland and Austria) and the United States, dealing with the issue of armed conflicts and terrorism by using innovative techniques of corpus linguistics, machine learning and in-depth content analysis. The results show that Western publics—for a long time mere observers of the mobilization of religious convictions and identities in international politics—become participants who begin to critically reflect about the way how to address and discuss the ‘‘self’ and the “other” in debates on religion in armed conflicts and terrorism. Speakers increasingly take stances vis-à-vis religion and conflict and pay attention on how to renegotiate their own identity and to talk about Islam in order not to threaten social cohesion at home or to give further reasons for a “Clash of Civilizations” abroad. The results challenge the negative picture of discursive construction of Islam by Western media and societies that is prevalent in scientific research and therefore provide first empirical evidence for a “post-secular” shift in Western collective self-understandings who become aware of the ongoing vitality of religion both nationally and internationally (Habermas, 2005, 2012).

Application of the Wills Act 1837 to New Zealand: Untidy Legal History

The decision of Acting Chief Justice Stephen in McLiver v Macky (1856) was that the Wills Act 1837 (UK) did not apply in New Zealand because New Zealand had been annexed to the British Empire as a dependency of New South Wales. This case and its consequences were discussed in my contribution to the Victoria University of Wellington Law Review special issue in 2010 relating to the New Zealand Law Foundation's "Lost Cases Project". It transpires that Stephen ACJ and counsel in the 1856 case were unaware of the Imperial Act Adoption Act 1839 (NSW) which applied the Wills Act 1837 (UK) to New South Wales from 1 January 1840. This article suggests that, based on the reasoning of the Judge, the 1856 decision would have been the same even if that 1839 Act had been explicitly considered. It would still have been necessary for the New Zealand Parliament to enact the English Laws Act 1858.

Introduction Black British Feminisms: Many Chants

This article is an introduction to the Feminist Review special issue 'Black British Feminisms', jointly edited by Joan Anim-Addo, Yasmin Gunaratnam and Suzanne Scafe For us at Feminist Review, it’s hard to believe that thirty years have passed since the publication of the issue Many Voices, One Chant: Black Feminist Perspectives (Amos et al., 1984). Many Voices, with its flamboyant pink, four-handed goddesses dancing across a green and black cover, was one of the first attempts to ‘provide a collection of perspectives’ (ibid: 1) of black British feminist thinking and projects.
