The basic direction of the development of society is the development of technology, information flow, organization way, and management. Therefore, the need to use the latest knowledge in defining, selecting and implementing strategies with adequate information technologies is now an unimaginably successful business. Strategic management is a set of management decisions and actions that determine long-term functioning and business policy. The process of strategic management involves establishing a company's relationship with the environment and positioning in it. The strategic goal has a directing role from the existing to the desired position (optimal). The implementation of the strategy in our companies is based on two groups of factors. The first group consists of the organizational structure and the management system of companies, and the second group consists of the human factor in the broadest sense. We also know that at the present moment the economy is almost impossible to survive if it is based on one particular technology. This means that today an increasing number of industries whose technological base is based on a growing number of interconnected different technologies. What technology has to be implemented in order to achieve competitiveness? A complete response includes identifying critical products, processes, applications, and system technology. The key technology provides a competitive advantage, the factor of today's success, they are in the application phase, competitors with them have not implemented enough yet, and offer a significant opportunity for building differentiating properties and for expanding the application. Leading in technology, provides the company support to the existing competitive position, in relation to supporting upcoming technologies which are important for creating a future competitive position.

Future Education

AbstractLearning innovation for future education often includes digital approaches to enhance learning and to contribute to the development of twenty-first-century skills. There is evidence that mobile learning provides positive outcomes. However, there is a recognized lack of research in the field of frameworks and models that contributes to highlighting mobile learning rewards. This study aims to investigate the main characteristics of a strategic framework for the adaption and sustainable use of mobile learning. This study is based on a systematic review of 15 investigations published between 2009 and 2018. An adaptation of the strategic management framework by Jauch and Glueck (Business policy and strategic management, McGraw-Hill, London, 1988) was developed to show the results. The framework has a pedagogical foundation. Leaders, teachers, learners, families, and community members are identified as the key pillars upholding and maximizing mobile learning. The proposed framework is envisaged to serve as a guide for the educational community in implementing sustainable mobile learning.

Environmental Discourses

Post-independence India has had its share of controversies around mega-infrastructure projects that have pitted environmental preservation against development concerns. This article studies the environmental controversy around one such megaproject, the Konkan Railway, employing a framework that integrates the environmental values, beliefs and behaviour of individuals and groups with a historical understanding of political economy and ecology (science). Essentialist and over-simplified environmental discourses, without scientific credibility and not based on historical facts, are often influential in policy making, especially when channelled by the middle classes.  Better understanding our present concerns and guiding decisions and policies to deal with the problems we currently face, requires unmasking the romanticization of the countryside. We must replace the idyllic version of the past with a nuanced historical understanding of the interaction between nature and culture. This article also locates the controversy over the Konkan Railway within the frames used to study Indian environmentalism. The aim is to improve our understanding of the regional, ideological and cultural pluralities in environmental values, beliefs and behaviour of the middle class in India.

The focus of this article is a recent round of workfare reform in Finland. Departing from many existing analyses of workfare, it focuses on issues of governance. Drawing on policy documents and interviews with key policy actors, it shows how this reform and attempts at implementation took place along the lines of a specific form of managerial governance, namely strategic governance, involving the enrolment of strategic management into policy making. The article details how this mode of policy making enabled an intensification and depoliticization of workfare policies via the replacement of political concerns with economic imperatives and in so doing contributed to the broader process of economization of the state. While the latter is often located as central to the project of neoliberalism, the practices through which it is instantiated often remain hazy. This article therefore contributes knowledge on how the process of the economization of the political operates in practice.
