Abstract In 2020, a European Commission initiative was launched to make cities more intelligent, socially responsible and to grow in a more sustainable way, through the use of smart technology. Here, Espoo, part of the Greater Helsinki Municipal region in Finland, shares its smart story with Johanna Hamilton AMBCS.

Entrepreneurship is a necessary strategy that entails the emergence of a business idea and the creation of a company, constituting a true entrepreneurial capital. At present, the European Commission (EC) urges entrepreneurship given the potential for sustainable and inclusive growth. Also, the EC, since 2001, pronounced itself the need for a voluntary integration of social, economic, and environmental concerns in business strategies. The objective of this chapter is to achieve a confluence of ideas that link the initiative of an entrepreneur with the need to carry out a socially responsible strategy today in business. A bibliometric study was undertaken by means of a structured and systematized search of the Web of Science, Scopus, Elsevier, and Google Scholar during the 2005-2017 period, limiting the search to articles published in journals. Fifty-two works were located, which were published in 35 journals. The study has identified a set of entrepreneurship initiatives partially connected with social responsibility, which allows us to qualify him as a “socially responsible entrepreneur.”

Intelligent Cities

In 2017, a Price Waterhouse report on intelligent cities advised that technology would be a key enabler for efficient management of resources for overpopulated cities. The increased reliance on technology to drive daily lives of people is the main reason why many believe that smart technology is a major part of intelligent cities. By design, intelligent cities are heavily reliant on connected devices. Consequently, reliance on technology poses the risk that any disruption of technology-based services may put human lives in danger. In this context, attacks on technological frameworks can mean attacks on the entire city. Unfortunately, there is no existing technology that is able to successfully defend against such cyberattacks. In this research, the authors review the concepts, principles, and technologies, and propose an approach for a cyber defence system, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, to detect and prevent an integrated cyberattack.

The Way

In the framework of broad philosophic and historical context the author conducts comparative analysis of the conditions for assimilating liberal values in leading countries of the modern world and in Russia. He defends the idea of inevitable forward movement of Russia on the way of rationalization and cultivation of all aspects of life, but, to his opinion, it will occur not so fast as the "first wave" reformers thought and in other ideological and sociocultural forms than in Europe and America. The author sees the main task of the reformist forces in Russia in consolidation of the society and inplementation of socially responsible economic policy.

High Willingness

The brand is a powerful representational and identification-led asset that can be used to engage staff in creative, sustainable and developmental activities. Being a brand the result of, foremost, a design exercise, it is fair to suppose that it can be a relevant resource for the advancement of design literacy within organisational contexts. The main objective of this paper was to test and validate an interaction structure for an informed co-design process on visual brand artefacts. To carry on the empirical study, a university was chosen as case study as these contexts are generally rich in employee diversity. A non-functional prototype was designed, and walkthroughs were performed in five focus groups held with staff. The latter evidenced a need/wish to engage with basic design principles and high willingness to participate in the creation of brand design artefacts, mostly with the purposeof increasing its consistent use and innovate in its representation possibilities, whilst augmenting the brand’s socially responsible values.
