A Conceptual Model of the Social Entrepreneurship Design Thinking for University Students

The knowledge-building of social entrepreneurs often depends on self-will, especially in terms of knowledge, skills, creativity, and innovation. Proper planning and design development are the main pillars that help social entrepreneurs to continue to progress and be competitive. Design thinking helps in the production of creative ideas before the implementation of the mission of social entrepreneurship, which in turn contributes to change and increases the social value of society. This article aims to discuss the social entrepreneurship design thinking model of public university students in the production of more efficient and impactful social entrepreneurship behavior. The author uses a literature review approach to obtain relevant concepts and theories before developing a structured modeling framework to be tested in the study. A number of public university students in Peninsular Malaysia were selected to be respondents for this study. This study only unravels the importance of the development of design thinking for university students and no numerical data needs to be analyzed. The contribution of the study gives a positive impact and innovative value to the field of entrepreneurship, the academic sector, and local universities. This study is expected to contribute in building awareness of adapting design thinking to the social entrepreneurship of public university students in the generation of product ideation as well as community social mission activities in achieving the objective as a social entrepreneur who brings impact to the development of the country and human civilization.

Sustainable supply chain finance enablers under disruption: the causal effect of collaboration value innovation on sustainability performance

ABSTRACT Sustainable supply chain finance (SSCF) faces challenges due to supply chain disruptions, often resulting in delays and cost overruns. The existing literature lacks a theoretical framework to delineate the interrelationship between internal and external SSCF enablers. This gap leaves firms exposed to financial risks and impedes their long-term sustainability. This study addresses a gap in the literature by integrating internal competencies and external pressures as enablers in SSCF during disruptions. Employing institutional and dynamic capability theories, it identifies and analyses 45 enablers through the fuzzy Delphi method and the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory. The findings emphasise the driving roles of collaboration value innovation, financial stability, and operational capacity in enabling SSCF. These aspects foster a response to disruptions, particularly in enhancing environmental, social, and governance efforts. In practice, demand forecasting, decision synchronisation, stakeholder relationships, working capital, and financial information sharing offer perspectives on enabling SSCF under disruptive conditions.

Analyst Coverage and Synchronous Knowledge Search: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

AbstractThis study develops a theory concerning the ways in which firms manage knowledge search in relation to the search behaviours of competitors. While the search behaviours of competitors provide information cues regarding the possible distribution of valuable innovation opportunities in the knowledge space, a focal firm may search with competitors synchronously (i.e. searching with competitors in the same knowledge areas at the same time) or asynchronously (i.e. searching in different knowledge areas from competitors). This study examines the quest for legitimacy under institutional pressure as a key contingency that shapes firms’ propensity to search with competitors synchronously or asynchronously. Focusing on scrutiny by security analysts as a source of institutional pressure, and employing mergers and acquisitions of brokerage houses as a natural experiment that results in exogenous drops in analyst coverage, this study finds that firms are more prone to search with competitors asynchronously following an exogenous drop in analyst coverage, providing support to the theory. Additional analysis shows that the positive relationship between an exogenous drop in analyst coverage and a firm's asynchronous search behaviour is less pronounced when the firm in question has proven its ability to capture valuable innovation opportunities via high innovation performance.

A Double-Layer Coupled Network Model of Network Density Effects on Multi-Stage Innovation Efficiency Dynamics: Agent-Based Modeling Methods

This paper proposes a double-layer coupled network model to analyze the multi-stage innovation activities of online, and the model consists of two layers: the online layer, which represents the virtual interactions among innovators, and the offline layer, which represents the physical interactions among innovators. The model assumes that the innovation activities are influenced by both the online and offline network structures, as well as the coupling effect between them. And it simulates the entire innovation process including knowledge diffusion and knowledge recombination. The model also incorporates the concept of network density, which measures the degree of network connectivity and cohesion (network structure). Observing the network density influence on innovation efficiency during the innovation process is realized through setting the selection mechanism and the knowledge recombination mechanism. The coupling relationship between the two layers of network density on the three stages of innovation is further discussed under the theoretical framework of the innovation value chain. Simulation and experimental results suggest that when the offline network density is constant, a higher online network density is not always better. When the online network density is low, the sparse structure of the online network reduces innovation efficiency. When the online network density is high, the structural redundancy caused by the tight network structure prevents innovation efficiency from improving. The results of the study help enterprises to adjust and optimize the internal cooperation network structure at different stages of innovation in order to maximize its effectiveness and improve the innovation efficiency of enterprises.

Achieving dynamic efficiency in pharmaceutical innovation: Identifying the optimal share of value and payments required.

It has been argued that cost-effectiveness analysis of branded pharmaceuticals only considers static efficiency, neglects dynamic effects and undermines incentives for socially valuable innovation. We present a framework for designing pharmaceutical pricing policy to achieve dynamic efficiency. We develop a coherent framework that identifies the long-term static and dynamic benefits and costs of offering manufacturers different levels of reward. The share of value that would maximise long-term population health depends on how the quantity and quality of innovation responds to payment. Using evidence of the response of innovation to payment, the optimal share of value of new pharmaceuticals to offer to manufacturers is roughly 20% (range: 6%-51%). Reanalysis of a sample of NICE technology appraisals suggests that, in most cases, the share of value offered to manufacturers and the price premium paid by the English NHS were too high. In the UK, application of optimal shares would offer considerable benefits under both a public health objective and a broader view of social welfare. We illustrate how an optimal share of value can be delivered through a range of payment mechanisms including indirect price regulation via the use of different approval norms by an HTA body.

The continuous change in the value orientations of members of society sets the task of studying this process. Until now, the principles that determine the direction and content of traditional and innovative values in political science have not been subjected to critical analysis. Therefore, we consider it is relevant to determine the ratio of traditional and innovative values in the dynamics of changes caused by the conditions of globalization in modern research. The theoretical analysis used dialectical, comparative-historical, structural-functional, deductive, and inductive methods of analysis. The main purpose of this article is the political science systematization of the principles that determine the direction and content of traditional and innovative values. To achieve the purpose, we set the task of determining the meaning of the proposed principles by arguing the essence of the concepts of traditional and innovative values. Fundamentalization, standardization, humanization, democratization, and informatization were adopted as the main principles. In the introduction, we defined the basic concepts of traditional and innovative values and outlined the formulation, purpose, and history of the problem under study. The discussion and results part is divided into 5 subsections, and we have proved the foundations of the principles presented in each subsection. We came to the conclusion that in a society where political modernization and continuous political reforms take place, a social space is being formed where traditional and innovative values coexist.

Abstract With the progress of science and technology and the increasingly fierce competition in the market, the phenomenon of homogenization of jewelry products is becoming more and more obvious, and the user's demand for jewelry design presents personalized and diversified characteristics. This paper utilizes continuous variable binary to encode the genes in jewelry design and establishes the specific definition domain for each module in jewelry design. Then the fitness function is combined with the target creative set and representative sample set of jewelry design to calculate the consensus and satisfaction degrees of the audience. Finally, the construction of the jewelry design system is realized using artificial intelligence through selection, crossover, mutation, and other operations in the metagenetic algorithm. The algorithm proposed in this paper can achieve a lower number of evaluations and a shorter running time in a jewelry design system, which can alleviate user fatigue more effectively. When the population is generated over 20 generations, the average adaptation value of the algorithm in this paper can reach 8.13, which is much higher than the comparison algorithm. In the subjective evaluation experiments of the jewelry products obtained by the design, it is found that the audience thinks that the jewelry products show higher emotional potency and innovative value, which indicates that the system is able to give higher creativity and value to the jewelry products. This paper provides new foundations and insights for the field of jewelry design, as well as scientific ideas for jewelry designers and brands.

The study focuses on the value of digital innovations and data exchange technologies for the agri-food sector, which represents the "core" of the agro-industrial complex. The digital transformation of the economic activity of agriculture is reflected in increasing the marginality of business, restraining prices for agricultural products and at the same time maintaining the quality of goods. The main problems of the study cover digital innovation hubs that support the digitalization of the agri-food supply chain. The results of the AgroCode Awards in 2021, which encourages AgroTech entrepreneurs and their projects, organized by the Russian Agricultural Bank, are presented. In the course of the work, attention was drawn to crowdfunding as an important element of financing the agricultural sector, and its importance for agricultural projects. The analysis of the results highlights the need for companies, as well as investors, to carefully analyze crowdfunding options to ensure that they make economic sense, are structured and ideally lead to mutually beneficial investment relationships. The authors present key projects of digital transformation of the agri-food sector, namely, the use of specialized training programs in agricultural universities; the creation of platforms for farmers in the field of crop production and livestock; the creation of digital twins; the creation of digital production in the field of crop production and livestock online; control of the targeted use of budgetary funds and the implementation of control and supervisory activities. There is no universal way of digital transformation, despite the existence of a list of mandatory conditions. Within each specific company and its characteristics, digital transformation can take place in its own way. However, it is important to understand that thanks to digital transformation, a business gets a unique opportunity to be in demand.

Discussion on the Deep Integration of College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship and College Students’ Civic and Political Education under the Background of Data Technology

Abstract Currently, most of the studies related to the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship education into the ideological and political work of college students are theoretical discussions, lacking empirical evidence and rarely quantitative analysis. Based on data technology, this paper explores the deep integration of innovation and entrepreneurship with college students’ ideological and political education. After mining the significance of the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship and college students’ civic and political education, the study utilizes the Bayesian theory and face recognition model to assess the effect of the deep integration of civic innovation and entrepreneurship education from the perspective of emotional change. Its algorithmic model, which is mainly based on classification criteria, recognizes students’ classroom expressions according to the classroom expression classification criteria and the emotion score calculation formula so as to judge the effect of students’ classroom listening. Through empirical analysis, all dimensions of ideological and political education self-efficacy and entrepreneurial values of innovation and entrepreneurship are significantly positively correlated at the level of 0.01. The average value of emotion scores of innovation and entrepreneurship education classes integrating ideological and political education is higher than that of traditional innovation and entrepreneurship classes by 0.04 and by 4 more students. The innovative entrepreneurship classroom integrated with Civic and Political Education has achieved good teaching results among college students.

Diferentes organizações de extensão na Turquia: exemplo da região do Egeu

ABSTRACT: This study assessed different extension actors in the Aegean region in terms of key indicators that influence the success of extension activities. Along with the primary goal, factors affecting extensionists’ satisfaction with their working conditions were investigated. The data were collected through questionnaires from 966 extensionists working in public, private firms, farmer organizations, input dealers and consultancy in eight provinces in the region. According to the results, 80% of the farmers received extension services from public organizations in the region. While those who work in the public sector are more satisfied economically, their professional satisfaction is the lowest. Extension workers’ personal skills, sharing ideas, creativity, and authority-responsibility harmony, working freedom, staff availability and support are increasing satisfaction with working conditions in organizations. While female farmers are targeting more by the public and consultants, educated farmers are more prioritized in firms, dealers, and consultations. The internalization of innovative values is lower in the public organizations compared to the others. It is foreseen that; the public will carry out extension in developing countries for a long time. The success in extension organizations, the innovation process and pluralistic structure became quite more dependent on the relations with the private sector, domestic and international market mechanisms, demand driven giving advice and government policies on social, economic, and environmental.

Disruptive technology identification research based on one-class SVM: a case study in the field of gene editing

The identification of disruptive technologies is paramount for the expansion into novel markets and the creation of innovative value paradigms. Despite the importance of this task, current methodologies for identifying such technologies are predominantly qualitative, which are often hindered by a dearth of empirical data and a predisposition towards subjectivity. This paper proposes a paradigm shift by employing patent text data and utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for data preprocessing to extract and analyze technical themes from patent abstracts. The research innovatively posits the problem of identifying disruptive technologies as an anomaly detection issue and addresses it through the application of a one-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. In the empirical component of the study, the field of gene editing is selected as a case study to validate the proposed method’s efficacy and practicality. The validation is conducted through a multifaceted analytical framework, which includes: an examination of the distribution and proportion of patent topics, a comprehensive market analysis, and a comparative analysis of the proposed model against existing methodologies. The results of this study not only substantiate the potential of the proposed approach in accurately detecting technologies with disruptive potential but also highlight its robustness across various analytical dimensions.
