Dynamics of Network Utilization in Internationalization What SMEs Do in Developing and Developed Countries: A Systematic Literature Review

The study of networks in the internationalization process of SMEs has become an interesting discussion, this condition is because each country has unique dynamics in utilizing existing networks. The results of the analysis of the 20 articles in this study show that being proactive in the network community will strengthen relationships with partners and implementing an alliance strategy will strengthen the position of SMEs in increasing competitiveness and expanding markets. This condition occurs in both developing and developed countries. The dominant factor influencing the speed of the internationalization process is social and business network relations that begin with social ties. Of the 8 articles that discuss networking in the process of internationalization in developed countries (China, Central America, and East America), it shows that the government as an institution that has an important role in the internationalization of SMEs needs to design a framework in the form of policies that encourage the acceleration of various forms of collaboration between businesses. Meanwhile, 12 articles that discuss the process of internationalization in developing countries show that for the expansion and growth of SMEs a social network structure is needed, and the role of ethnic (group) ties in internationalization.

Introduction to the special issue: facilitating citizen engagement in interactive governance

ABSTRACT This is an introduction to the special issue on facilitating citizen engagement in interactive governance. In this special issue, we focus on facilitators: the professionals that support and organise various forms of collaboration between governments and citizens that elsewhere have been conceptualised as interactive governance. We explore the main pressures that facilitators face and how these are negotiated in deliberative forms of policy-making, the co-production of public services, and in community-induced civic initiatives. With this exploration, we contribute to a burgeoning literature on facilitators as in-between actors, we make a unique comparison across three forms of interactive governance that are often analysed separately, we bring together disparate literatures on democratic innovation and public policy implementation, and we offer nuances and perspectives from various countries with six articles addressing facilitation in Scotland, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Denmark and the Netherlands.

GENERAL THEORETICAL ASPECTS AND CLASSIFICATION OF COLLABORATION ACTIVITIES AS A CRIMINAL PHENOMENON

The paper examines the general theoretical concept of collaboration and its genesis, namely its appearance and development during the Second World War and the modern Ukrainian state. The main features of this phenomenon are analyzed: the presence of subjects of collaboration activities and the clearly expressed nature of harming state sovereignty and territorial integrity through various forms of collaboration. Certain types of collaboration activities are also classified and highlighted. Thus, depending on the desires and beliefs that citizens pursue, the most common among scientists is the division of collaboration into forced, voluntary, and ideological. This criminal law phenomenon is considered separately in the context of the recently introduced amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding establishing criminal liability for collaboration activities. The paper also found that collaboration as a phenomenon of criminal law is immediately seen as a complex of variations of actions that a “collaborator” or “a group of collaborators” could engage in – the population that, for one reason or another, cooperates with the occupation authorities and the military. In addition, the paper pays considerable attention to the phenomenon of collaboration in the current conditions of armed aggression of the Russian Federation. It defines the composition of a criminal offense for committing collaboration activities. In particular, the amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely Article 111-1 “Collaboration Activity,” which contains the concept of collaboration activity, its various forms, and penalties for committing actions that would fall under the specified norm, are analyzed. The paper describes the composition of the specified criminal offense, identifies its subjective and objective features, and possible problems with distinguishing it from related criminal offenses.

Identity Implications of Cross-Sector Partnerships: A Case Study in the Nonprofit Sector

Nonprofit organizations increasingly engage in various forms of collaboration with corporate actors. Business collaborations can aid nonprofit organizations in fulfilling their mission; however, they are also likely to bring about internal tensions, particularly, when nonprofit members feel that partnerships are not aligned with the nonprofit’s mission or core values. Indeed, previous research has indicated that “who we are” as an organization has important implications for “what we should do” and thus, who “we” should associate with, highlighting the role of organizational identity in assessments of inter-organizational relationships. To date, we still have a limited understanding of how nonprofit members perceive corporate collaborations and their implications for member perceptions of organizational identity. To address this important gap, we examine how nonprofit members make sense of nonprofit-business partnerships and how they manage identity tensions arising from them. Our study employs a qualitative research design including 40 semi-structured interviews across 15 nonprofit organizations over two phases of data collection. We show the identity tensions arising from corporate partnerships and identify four identity work tactics that nonprofit members engage in to alleviate these tensions. By offering a grounded model of identity work in cross-sector partnerships, we bring attention to relational elements of organizational identity.

Literasi Digital Dalam Membentuk Karakter Religius Generasi Milenial (Studi tentang Pembentukan Karakter Mahasiswa PAI Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik

The current state of life in the millennial era is full of challenges and competition. This has an impact, among others, on a high level of depression in addition to the availability of opportunities for those who have life competencies, and have multiliteracy that strengthens students' physical, mental, and intellectual capacities. For that we need a way how to shape the religious character of students, especially PAI students at the University of Muhammadiyah Gresik through digital literacy?. There needs to be a method in reviewing the research in revealing the existing problems, namely by using a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, focusing on the study of the formation of religious character of PAI UMG students. The results of the study reveal that various forms of collaboration and cooperation between communities and educational units outside the campus are indispensable in strengthening religious character education. There are various forms of collaboration that can be done in the context of developing character education for PAI UMG students in facing the millennial era, namely with Islamic digital literacy activists. Such as good attitudes and intentions, namely getting used to literacy through cellphone media (HP): speaking and writing in Short Message Service (SMS) or WhatsApp (WA) that is polite when communicating, behaves well, protects the environment, and looks after the environment. order.

Юбилей Академии наук СССР в победном 1945 году: замысел, сценарий праздника, международный резонанс

The authors focus on the celebration of the 220th anniversary of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1945. The festive events hosted both due to the anniversary, joyful victory and cease of warfare in Europe were attended by 124 delegates from 17 countries, as well as by nearly 1,000 Soviet academics. The situation was unique in its concept and inspired people with hope for world reconstruction. The occasion was widely publicized, eliciting an extensive response. The anniversary served an occasion to organize the forum where academics discussed their perception of science field in the victorious year of 1945.
 Based on a wide range of sources, including foreign archives first introduced to the academia, the paper presents the scenarios of the celebration of the 220th anniversary of the USSR Academy of Sciences, as well as the images of the Russian and Soviet science represented by the academic elite, and their perception by the international scientific community. The authors reveal the factors that influence the establishment and functioning of the communicative field of global science. It is concluded that in a contextual way the anniversary events featured the overestima­ted expectations of new forms of international cooperation, with various forms of collaboration being discussed. However, the triumph over the “unified science” and the establishment of the universal communicative field was temporary.

Beyond the Museum: Leadership Experiences from VR Production Studios

AbstractAs digital technologies evolve at an exponential speed, the digital art scene has become ever more vivid in the past decades, with various forms of collaboration emerging between art museums, artists, curators, and audiences. While these collaborations are celebrated for their potential mutual benefits, such as knowledge exchange and the legitimizing effects on artworks, art museums struggle to maintain their relevance, and for this reason museum leadership has been deemed of critical importance. Historically, museum leadership has steered art museums through paradigm shifts using two approaches, namely, individual and relational. Nonetheless, the motivations for choosing these leadership approaches and their effects on guiding art museums into digital art remain unknown. In this study, we explore leadership approaches that contribute to museum‐studio collaboration on the creative output of digital art by tracing one of the enabling actors: creative studios. We choose this focus to understand how studios carry out the production and distribution of digital art in a collaborative setup. Through short ethnographic studies of two Copenhagen‐based VR art creative studios: Khora Contemporary and MAKROPOL, we argue that the choice of leadership approach in VR art production and distribution is contingently motivated by either market or knowledge‐oriented views of digital art. Consequently, contemporary art museums have the potential to become platforms that carefully negotiate ethical and contextual implications in leading digital art projects at the intersection of market and knowledge‐driven agendas.

Interprofessional collaboration in hospital-based services for victims of sexual violence in South Korea: participating professionals’ different attitudes and their impacts on collaboration

ABSTRACT Human service professionals (HSPs) play important roles in supporting victims of sexual violence. When these professionals work together in various forms of collaboration, attitudes of professionals in different fields can sometimes facilitate or sometimes hinder collaboration. The effect of attitude can be further highlighted when HSPs collaborate with experts with different fields of sexual violence, such as police officers. This study examined the difference in the attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration and victims of sexual violence between HSPs and police officers in South Korea. Then, the effect of such attitudes on the degree of interprofessional collaboration was analyzed. Survey data were collected from 174 HSPs and 65 police officers at 34 hospital-based Sunflower Centers across South Korea. Results showed that HSPs had a more positive attitude toward the benefits of interprofessional collaboration, and had a less negative attitude toward victims of sexual violence, than police officers. The results further confirmed that collaboration can be strengthened by actively fostering interprofessional work and reducing prejudice against the victims. Based on these results, practical implications to promote the degree of interprofessional collaboration are suggested.

Examining Researchers’ Attitudes, Barriers, and Opportunities for Participatory Research: The Case of the Riso-Biosystems Project on Organic Rice

This paper reports on the conception and implementation of a participatory approach within an agricultural research project aimed at fostering the transition towards organic in the Italian rice district. We investigate the relationships among scientists and stakeholders, exploring researchers’ attitudes, barriers, and potential in relation to participatory research. We use participant observation, in-depth interviews, and systematic cataloguing of communication documents, from the beginning to two years into project implementation, for a total period of three years. The results of the analysis show that, despite a high level of authoritative commitment to participation, scientists reveal a scarcity of knowledge and skills, and poor attitudes that come from a negative perception of participatory research. They engage in various forms of collaboration with stakeholders, as long as decision-making remains essentially in their hands. With the deep analysis of a case study, the paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the quality of participatory agricultural research, in particular, presenting evidence on the key role of researchers and their attitudes. The paper also contributes to the development of a culture of learning by doing, through honest monitoring and evaluation, and the capacity to learn from failure.

Knowledge, Power, and Trust: The Role of Experts in Russia’s Migration Regime

This article examines the role of experts in the field of migration policy in an authoritarian environment and their collaboration with the state in times of crisis. While much of the literature on migration policy-making in Russia focuses on patron-client relationships between state and business, little is known about the collaboration of state actors and experts. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of the main migration experts and shows the conditions under which they are involved in migration policy. Despite various forms of collaboration, expert policy networks are strictly controlled by Russia’s authoritarian state. Measures of control include the sanctioning of foreign financing, a weak culture of dialogue, non-transparent political decisions, the absence of institutionalized political competition and an extremely personalized system of interaction that places experts in a relationship of dependence, thus preventing substantial criticism of political decisions and forcing loyalty. Since 2016, the conditions under which experts are involved in migration policy have become even more limited. It is argued that the reasons for the change are linked to a threefold loss of trust in the expertise of non-state actors, in particular, international organizations. This loss of trust can be explained firstly by a collision of the long-term logic of expert advice with the short-term crisis management of the state; secondly by a dynamic that followed from the institutional restructuring of the Federal Migration Service that dissolved long-standing personal relationships between experts and officials; and thirdly by a general loss of trust in Western policy solutions and liberal norms in the management of migration (crises).

Bank–fintech partnerships, outsourcing arrangements and the case for a mentorship regime

Amid global competition to build the perfect financial ecosystem, governments worldwide are seeking ways to best harness the potential of new financial technology firms. These fintechs were once seen as ‘disruptors’, potentially displacing established banks and paving the way for more innovative business models. More recently, both types of players have begun to appreciate various forms of collaboration.1 The willingness of consumers to switch from traditional banks to newcomers had probably been overestimated, and this has reinforced the case for collaboration rather than directly enticing customers away from the established players.2 Partnership arrangements between banks and fintech firms may take on various forms, including simple joint ventures, but they may also involve more advanced technology-based ways of integrating new business models or services in the established bank’s portfolio. The main reason for the proliferation of partnership arrangements is the many advantages they bring to both parties. When...

Practical implications The hospital requires undertaking institutional assessment of mobile service need and consumption for clients’ care and thereafter make adequate provision to match the need. Furthermore, the institution could work out various forms of collaboration with mobile technology operators in the country to subsidise the cost of the use of telephones for clients’ care as part of their corporate social responsibility. Social implications The institution could work out collaboration with mobile technology operators in the country to subsidise cost of mobile client care as part of the philanthropic and corporate social responsibility of telecom companies. Originality/value This study focusses mainly on internal medicine and has implication for a more proper understanding of adult deployment of mobile phones for client care.

ЕСТЬ ЛИ БУДУЩЕЕ У РОССИЙСКОГО ОРГАНИЧЕСКОГО МОЛОКА?

At this point, dairy farming is a system-forming branch of the agricultural business, which allows efficient transfer of innovative technologies to the agro-industrial complex as a whole, and the issue of organic production, including milk and dairy products, is now becoming more and more apparent. With the law "On organic products” coming into effect, new opportunities are presented for agricultural producers of all forms of ownership, and the production of organic milk can become one of the drivers of the dairy farming development in Russia. Organic production in Russia began to form a special segment of the agricultural market, which is distinguished, on the one hand, by the increased cost of production in comparison with traditional technologies. On the other hand, its high marginality contributes to the entry of new players into the market, the emergence of various forms of collaboration and the attraction of large investments with state support. This is facilitated by the growth of commercial milk production, the development of the legal framework, state regulation and financial support for agricultural producers, and the commissioning of new certified enterprises for the production of organic milk with high margins. The purpose of the research was to analyze the domestic and foreign organic milk markets, as well as to consider the pros and cons of organic production in the modern market. The article deals with issues significant to both worldwide and Russian organic milk production, it also presents the basic principles of certification and regulation of the market, and talks about problems of pricing and consumption.

Canada–Indonesia relations, past and present

Canada–Indonesia relations recently passed their 65th anniversary, but they still have a tentative air about them. Despite regular talk about developing a strong Canadian relationship with a country that potentially has much in common with Canada, Canada–Indonesia relations have mostly been friendly but shallow. An overview of the history of bilateral relations, from the opening of a Canadian mission in 1953 to recent bilateral deals committing Ottawa and Jakarta to various forms of collaboration, reveals that rhetoric about common interests has some substance, but a new announcement amidst good intentions every few years is not likely to lead to any deep partnership. There are, however, foundations for closer ties in civil society, including in the fields of economic development, truth and reconciliation, religious deradicalization, and Indigenous peoples linkages.

China’s language services as an emerging industry

Abstract Languages play an essential role in China’s drive for modernization and in its interactions with the rest of the world. Discussions in this paper are designed to offer an overview of China’s language services, which have grown into a sizable industry with more than 70,000 businesses. In addition to its growth in size, the language services industry has also been a leader in introducing CAT technology in translation and adopting advanced technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. Language service providers (LSPs) have also worked with institutions of higher learning in various forms of collaboration to provide internship opportunities to students of translation and other forms of support to universities. In order to promote the healthy development of the industry, the Translators Association of China (TAC) has done a huge amount of work in organizing industry efforts to develop guidelines for different kinds of language services, and help the industry to exercise self-regulation.

This will enable companies to enhance their competitiveness through various forms of collaboration and make it a marketing tool to secure new consumers. Therefore, in this research, we analyzed the design characteristics of products in line with new consumption trends. Designed artistically for home appliances with a cold image of the tip through art collaboration. The food company also performs various collaborations for seeing and enjoying psychological satisfaction. Characteristic of the collaboration with the character industry, such as super heroes, mobile games, emoticons, etc. familiar to us, give familiar images to commodities and capture new consumer layers. Collaboration between brands and brands of this type of industry or similar industries is used in designing to enhance consumption purchasing power by adding the value of each company's image and products. Collaborative products accompanying the development of digital technology show the characteristics of product design that can respond to new consumption trend while pursuing more sensitive aesthetic value. Therefore, in this research, we expect to actively utilize in the future design development of product design through collaboration.

Identifying the business and social networks in the domain of production by merging the data from heterogeneous internet sources

People, companies, and institutions form networks as part of their technical, economic, and social activities. As a consequence, these networks have an influence on how companies conduct business. Recently, the Internet, professional, and scientific social networks have contributed to the ease and simplicity of the network forming process and the public availability of the corresponding data. We investigate whether useful information about the relationships between individuals, companies, and institutions for the domain of production can be extracted from publicly available, structured and unstructured data that is merged from various Internet sources. We demonstrate that relevant information about the structures of these networks can be obtained by merging publicly available data using a combination of advanced computational methods including web crawling, machine learning, and creating mash-ups of publicly available services. The feasibility and the applicability of the approach are shown for a case in the automotive domain. A potential use case of the resulting data is demonstrated, showing how the approach can be used to find specific skills and expertise for a scientific community consisting of people from industry and academia. The proposed approach can be used for the modelling and analysis of various forms of collaboration between and within businesses. As a tool, it could be used for the purposes of strategic networking, to facilitate the creation of project consortia, to identify competitors and other stakeholders in a certain domain, to pinpoint communication channels, to search for specific expertise, or to identify organisational and social structures within organisations.
