The need to be sensitive to foreign cultures is often stated axiomatically in the international marketing management literature despite little empirical research on its nature and consequences. To partially fill this void, this field investigation addresses empirically the question of the effects of sensitivity to national business culture on communication, conflict, and performance in cross-national channel relationships. Data collected from 142 U.S. manufacturers, 104 Mexican manufacturers, and 96 Mexican distributors reveal that the sensitivity axiom can be supported empirically. Specifically, partner sensitivity to national business culture is shown to increase communication and decrease conflict, both of which in turn influence relationship performance. Implications for cross-national channel relationships are discussed.

Blockchain technology can achieve decentralization, multi-party verification, anti-tampering, anonymity, traceability of transactions, and the application of distributed ledger. Countries around the world continue to seek the blockchain business models, technologies and applications, and have different visions and policies for the development of blockchain. This study conducts a comparative policy framework of theoretical analysis of the blockchain technology between the USA and China. Using the innovative policy tools proposed by Rothwell and Zegveld, the above mentioned governments are analyzed from the viewpoint of twelve policy tools. The results show that the USA and China all prefer to use “Environmental-side” policy. The USA has paid more attention to “Legal and regulatory”, “Public services” and “Procurement”. China has the highest proportion of policies in “Political tools”, followed by “Legal & regulatory”, while “Scientific and technical”, “Education” and “Overseas agent” come in third . The blockchain technology has developed vigorously among industries and its applications have gradually diversified. The results are provided to various stakeholders as a reference for policy planning.

Key Indicators

The article presents the results of observing the events that have taken place in the highly competitive market of educational services in our country over the past years and consequences of their influence on domestic higher educational institutions. The most significant among these results are the next: a decrease in the number of students who come from Ukraine for high quality and less expensive education, than in their countries, the curtailment of the national cluster of the formation of professional competencies centers and also the number of scientific and pedagogical personnel reduction, their training quality, who are meant for maintaining the intellectual capital of the nation at the proper level, that is especially alarming. Identified negative trends are in contradiction with the views of the key states of the planet regarding the role of education in the era of Industry 4.0 establishment. And the impressive statistics of countries that are at the forefront of the implementation of Industry 4.0 products and the quality of education are proof of this. The rapid diffusion of innovative technologies created by Industry 4.0, new business models requires consequently a new quality of workforce. It is suggested that many problems appeared due to the special content of state policy in the economic sphere. Alas, it does not contribute to such a required growth of business and, as a result, leads to a chronic budget deficit and a decrease in spending on social programs and on higher education, in particular. In these circumstances, it looks quite attractive to encourage students to receive educational services in our country from those regions where there is a torrentially growing desire for academic migration among young people. Regardless on the true motives of the growth in the popularity of it. There is an urgent need to analyze the current situation of education in Ukraine, to study the dynamics of key indicators to identify the challenges facing the modern education system. The results of the analysis will help to look soberly at the problems, overcoming which will be a priority for reformers of the educational process.

The aim of the article is to clarify the basics of the digitalization strategy of the competitive businesses and identify features of the institutional environment that ensure the development of cryptocurrency as a new asset (IT product) of the modern economy, analyze the methods of implementing the cryptocurrency business models. The relevance of the research paper is determined by the need to develop a competitive Russian cryptocurrency (including the cryptoruble) with the growing private, state and cross-national cryptocurrencies. The scientific novelty of the study implies clarifying the informal and formal rules of the institutional environment and related methods ensuring the development of a competitive cryptocurrency. The authors consider the following methods to implement the institutional features of  the  cryptocurrencies  business  model  development:  logic  and  blockchain  algorithm  that  establish  trust  and  collaboration between cryptocurrency developers; logic and blockchain consensus algorithm ensuring  that  all  the parties of the blockchain network come to a common agreement (consensus); logic and blockchain algorithms that form cryptocurrency transactions and control its turnover by generating blocks of cryptocurrencies, by forming the structure of blocks and transactions of cryptocurrencies, by storing cryptocurrencies’ keys and providing security, by mining (forging) cryptocurrency, etс.The results of the study provide a basis for identifying the institutional features and the corresponding methods providing a competitive cryptocurrency development with a detailed analysis of the blockchain consensus algorithms that ensure the competitiveness of the cryptocurrency. The conclusions show that the most promising are the hybrid consensus algorithms which may include both the logic of two or more known algorithms and the original logic of a new algorithm. The authors recommend defining the logic of the blockchain consensus algorithm as a priority when developing a cryptocurrency to ensure reliability of the transactions in the blockchain network, thus increasing the competitiveness of the cryptocurrency.

In this paper we explore collaboration in the context of the educational services industry (ESI). We look to literature from the communication field to consider ethical strategies and methods for ensuring the validity of the outcomes of collaborative working. Drawing on Collaborative Product Development and conversation theory we devise four principles that can guide the collaborative process within an education-based partnership project. We then use a case study to consider how these principles supported the outcomes of a cross-national partnership project. Finally, we draw on these principles to consider the lessons for project management in education public private partnerships.
