The Core

Internal ventures and a firm's core competencies are mutually constitutive, since each both contributes to and builds on the other. This field study compared successful and failed new product ventures In four large firms, to learn how competencies and ventures relate. The link between ventures and competencies was important to success. It was also difficult to achieve, because a scaffolding of reified rules, called core incompetencies, had grown around the competencies to dominate thought and action. Some ways to break out of the core incompetencies are developed from the successful efforts, and summarized in the discussion.

The article deals with the main trends of formation of students’ mathematical competence in modern conditions of Ukraine’s entry into the European educational space. The competency-based approach has been considered as a methodological basis of the process of formation of mathematical competence. The Framework Program for updated core competencies of 2018 has been reviewed, and a comparative analysis of the core competencies of the European Union in 2006 and 2018 has been carried out. The importance of forming the mathematical competence of future specialists in solving professional problems in their future professional activities has been emphasized. The changes that the interpretation of mathematical competence has undergone in the updated core competencies of the European Union have been pointed out. The definitional analysis of the concept of «mathematical competence» used in domestic pedagogical theory has been carried out. The advantages of some approaches in the best European practices in the formation of mathematical competence have been stressed. Attention has been drawn to the peculiarities of adapting the process of forming mathematical competence of Ukrainian students to the best European practices as well as arising contradictions and problems. It has been proved that the formation of students’ mathematical competence contributed to the formation of the innovative economy of the state as a whole, as it contributes to the solution of professional problems by future specialists. It has been proved that taking into account the mathematical competence as a key one will contribute to the formation of professional competencies of future specialists. On the other hand, taking into account the mathematical competence as a key one will help to improve the curriculum of mathematical disciplines. The proposed research can serve as a methodological basis for constructing components of students’ mathematical competence.

The Difference

It is widely accepted that the allocation of intangible resources and capabilities has become the difference between firms. However, only a few of them allow to gain a competitive advantage, so-called core competencies. Most of the studies about to the intangibles and firms performance consider only the stock held by the company, and they do not considered intangibles management. Therefore, our objective is to test whether the core competencies management translates into improved sustainably performance, measured through ROA. To this end, a field study was performed, by making telephone calls to Basque Country companies’ financial managers, and favorable evidence was obtained.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flight-related core competencies for professional airline pilots and to structuralize them as components in a team performance framework. To achieve this, the core competency scores from a total of 2,560 OPC (Operator Proficiency Check) missions were analyzed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of pilots’ performance scores across the different competencies was conducted. Four principal components were extracted and a path analysis model was constructed on the basis of these factors. The path analysis utilizing the core competencies extracted adopted an input–process–output’ (IPO) model of team performance related directly to the activities on the flight deck. The results of the PCA and the path analysis strongly supported the proposed IPO model.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.

The Moment

‘The Final “Thank You”’ uses the work of Jacques Derrida and Friedrich Nietzsche to think the occasion of the 1995 rugby World Cup, hosted by the newly democratic South Africa. This paper deploys Nietzsche's Zarathustra to critique how a figure such as Nelson Mandela is understood as a ‘Superman’ or an ‘Overhuman’ in the moment of political transition. The philosophical focus of the paper, however, turns on the ‘thank yous’ exchanged by the white South African rugby captain, François Pienaar, and the black president at the event of the Springbok victory. It is the value, and the proximity and negation, of the ‘thank yous’ – the relation of one to the other – that constitutes the core of the article. 1

Study Results

The clamour for better quality graduates by architects in the Nigerian Construction Industry (NCI) necessitates a look into the core competencies and the adequacy of architecture education in preparing architecture graduates for professional practice. 116 self-report likertscale questionnaires from architecture graduates (2009-2015), academics and employers were analysed to establish core competencies developed by the graduates while in school. Descriptive statistics, t-tests as well as Mann-Whitney tests for differences in ratings were employed for the study. Results reveal the perceived adequacy of architecture education for the future career of graduates from the academic perspective. Graduates were most proficient at design related competencies while AutoCAD was still considered the most important CAD competency for architecture graduates in the NCI. The study recommends more frequent evaluations of competencies for employability in collaboration with industry as well as embracing BIM related software in line with global best practices. Keywords: Academics, Architecture, Employers, Graduates, Professional competencies, NCI

Sexual Repression

This article examines how female conditioning and sexual repression affect the woman’s sense of self, womanhood, identity and her place in society. It argues that the woman’s body is at the core of the many sites of gender struggles/ politics. Accordingly, the woman’s body must be decolonised for her to attain true emancipation. On the one hand, this study identifies the grave consequences of sexual repression, how it robs women of their freedom to choose whom to love or marry, the freedom to seek legal redress against sexual abuse and terror, and how it hinders their quest for self-determination. On the other hand, it underscores the need to give women sexual freedom that must be respected and enforced by law for the overall good of society.
