The construct of entrepreneurial alertness has been gaining considerable interest from academics because it is at the heart of the entrepreneurial process. Consequently, there has been a substantial increase in the number of academic papers over the years. However, this is a highly fragmented field of research that aggregates contributions from researchers in the fields of economics and strategy, entrepreneurship, and psychology. Also, in recent decades, the concept of entrepreneurial alertness has been studied from different perspectives, being considered, on one hand, as cognitive capacity, a dynamic capacity or a skill of the entrepreneur and, on the other hand, as an organizational factor that affects a company’s performance and a source of competitive advantage. The analysis reveals a set of future research avenues that may contribute to the development of the entrepreneurial alertness research field.

This article examines first tendencies towards connective usage by French-speaking learners of Dutch. Two sorts of discursive markers were analyzed, viz., attitude and relational markers. The results show two main tendencies. On the one hand, the learners seem to overuse attitude markers. This has been explained by stating that it could be a sign of the difficulty they experienced in organizing texts, establishing coherence and introducing their opinion. This inclination has also been observed for the learner use of the causal connective dus ('so, therefore'). On the other hand, the investigation of the learner usage of backward causal connectives suggests that beginners use a reduced set of frequent connectives, while more experienced learners make use of a more varied set of connectives. The tendencies observed and hypotheses advanced will have to be quantitatively and qualitatively elaborated further in future research as well as expanded to other kinds of connectives.

Porous Boundaries

This paper is about education as a discipline and a research field and various attempts to circumscribe and map it. First, we look at different Norwegian attempts to represent education understood as a discipline, in terms of maps of the discipline from 1926 to date. Second, we inquire into the historical changes in the landscape supposedly mapped, using empirical sources. This inquiry basically shows that the discipline/landscape has expanded immensely over the past 30 years or so; it has outgrown its disciplinary boundaries and is better viewed as a field. This field can be characterized as fragmented, as having no obvious unity, with porous boundaries and content in flux. This poses great challenges for disciplinary mapmaking. That brings us to our third topic: what do we do in such a situation? We shall inquire into a few possible responses. Mapping of the whole field is not feasible, but there are possibilities for mapping of selected areas and creation of local order in the field. The diagnosed flux is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it leads to fragmentation and identity problems, but on the other hand it may open up for more general renewal as well as new and unusual groupings or connections.

The Cost

In the process of internationalization of construction contractors, international enterprises as main contractors (IMC) need to consider whether part of the contract should be subcontracted to local subcontractors (LSC) to gain a competitive advantage when competing with local main contractors (LMC). The involvement of local subcontractors can usually help reduce cost through the cost spillover effect. However, it should be noted that the share of local subcontractors with local main contractors with an inferior quality may lead to quality spillover. The Hotelling model is therefore adopted to investigate the subcontracting decisions of main contractors considering both cost and quality spillover effects. Many scenarios are simulated and the results show that LMCs with inferior quality can always choose the subcontracting strategy to obtain increased profit regardless of the strategy that IMCs adopt. On the other hand, IMCs need to balance the cost spillover of subcontracting and the quality spillover for improving the quality level of LSCs. The results are useful for contractors to make decisions that are relevant to the adoption of subcontracting strategies to obtain competitive advantages.

La atracción migratoria (reciente y acumulada) es una construcción específica de la migración interna, la cual contiene dinámicas socioeconómicas y culturales, entre otras, desde los centros rurales o urbanos, con perspectivas territoriales y regionales. En México, el indicador de la atracción migratoria reciente muestra mejores condiciones y dinámicas de la economía desde hace siete años. Por su parte, Veracruz presenta desde hace una década un importante crecimiento demográfico y de inmigración interna, además de una significativa migración hacia entidades del norte. En este contexto, el objetivo del artículo es construir indicadores de atracción migratoria y reciente a nivel nacional y para el estado de Veracruz, que sirvan como base para futuras investigaciones que profundicen en las causas y factores de la migración interna, y expliquen las dinámicas entre un territorio y otro. The migratory attraction (recent and accumulated) is a specific construction of internal migration, which contains socio - economic and cultural dynamics, among others; from rural or urban centers, with territorial and regional perspectives. In Mexico, the indicator of recent migration attraction shows the best conditions and dynamics of the economy since seven years ago. On the other hand, Veracruz has had an important demographic and internal immigration growth since a decade, as well as an important migration towards northern entities. In this context, the objective of the article is to build indicators of mig ratory and recent attraction at the national level and for the state of Veracruz, which serve as a basis for future research that delves into the causes and factors of internal migration and explain the dynamics between one territory and another.

Participants (80 men, 80 women) read hypothetical date rape scenarios, wherein the perpetrator’s socioeconomic status (bus driver versus doctor) and the victim’s level of resistance (verbal versus verbal and physical) were varied, and made judgments about who was at fault and what the consequences should be. In general, men assigned more blame to the victim and less blame to the perpetrator than did women. However, men assigned more blame to the bus driver than to the doctor. Women, on the other hand, assigned more blame to the victim who was raped by the bus driver than to the victim who was raped by the doctor. The results also indicated that participants recommended harsher punishments for the perpetrator when the victim resisted verbally than when she resisted verbally and physically. Future research on the role of the perpetrator’s, the victim’s, and the participants’ socioeconomic status in judgments about date rape is suggested.

Abstract This study analyses the effect's degree of firm characteristics and institutional ownership on voluntary disclosure. Firm characteristics in this study are measured based on size and leverage. This study's panel data are from financial reports of 23 companies in the consumer goods industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2014 to 2018 reporting period. By using panel data regression analysis, this study finds that company size does not affect voluntary disclosure. On the other hand, leverage positively affects voluntary disclosure, while institutional ownership has a negative effect. This study implies that voluntary disclosure is more determined by the need to win the competition and rationalize investors regarding their leverage. The company's size does not determine the voluntary disclosure level. The government needs to encourage the companies to reveal more information for better market within the pandemic through the Financial Services Authority. On the other hand, institutional ownership that has a negative effect on voluntary corporate disclosure shows that investors from other institutions tend not to have healthy controls in encouraging companies to make voluntary disclosures. Future research is expected to reexamine corporate voluntary disclosure determinants through other variables and use more than one method to ensure their robustness results. Keywords: Firm Characteristic; Institutional Ownership; Voluntary Disclosure AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis besarnya pengaruh karakteristik dan kepemilikan institusional terhadap pengungkapan sukarela yang dilakukan perusahaan. Karakteristik perusahaan dalam penelitian ini diukur berdasarkan ukuran dan leverage. Data dalam penelitian ini yakni laporan keuangan dari 23 perusahaan sektor industri barang konsumsi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia periode laporan 2014 hingga 2018. Dengan menggunakan analisis regresi data panel, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ukuran perusahaan tidak mempengaruhi pengungkapan sukarela. Di sisi lain, leverage berpengaruh positif terhadap pengungkapan sukarela, sedangkan kepemilikan institusional berpengaruh negatif. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah bahwa pengungkapan sukarela lebih ditentukan oleh kebutuhan untuk memenangkan persaingan serta keperluan memberikan rasionalisasi terhadap para investor terkait besarnya leverage yang dimiliki. Besar kecilnya ukuran perusahaan tidak menentukan tingkat pengungkapan sukarela sehingga pemerintah melalui OJK perlu mendorong pengungkapan sukarela perusahaan. Di sisi lain, kepemilikan institusional yang justru berpengaruh negatif terhadap pengungkapan sukarela menunjukan investor dari institusi lain cenderung belum memiliki pengendalian yang kuat dalam mendorong perusahaan agar melakukan pengungkapan sukarela. Penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat menelaah kembali determinan pengungkapan sukarela melalui variabel-variabel lain serta menggunakan lebih dari satu metode untuk memastikan hasil yang robust. Kata Kunci: Karakteristik Perusahaan; Kepemilikan Institusional; Pengungkapan Sukarela

Promising Development

In Malaysia, the burgeoning of Islamic cultures and lifestyles including the expansion and stringent shariah implementation, Islamic fashions and Islamic programs or events are all associated with deepening conservatism. On one hand, it is perceived as a promising development, but on the other hand it is also presumed as a threat to tolerance and moderate values endorsed by Islam. This is simply because conservatism is often misinterpreted as extreme, exclusive, discriminative and oppressive attitudes and actions. But does conservatism really reflect and promote those detrimental values? How does conservatism as a concept that often used in political and social discourse can be used as a tool to explain religious phenomena? Using content analysis, this paper attempts to uncover the concept of conservatism from the theological and philosophical perspectives and discusses the relevance of conservatism and other existing categories of Islamic thought in Malaysia. This paper proposes that conservatism is a philosophy that is against the idea of autonomy of reason without revelation. Conservatism therefore is known as “philosophy of imperfection.” Any negative attitudes or actions are not caused by conservatism, nevertheless, they are due to the sole dependence on imperfect human reason that is unaided but revelation. This finding has revisited and redefined the existing concept of conservatism and other categories of Islamic thought according to Malaysian context and consequently explains the by-product of the burgeoning of Islamic cultures and lifestyles in Malaysia. Future research should focus on empirical method to assess conservatism and its effects on Malaysian society.Keywords: Islam, cultures, conservatism, thought, Malaysia Abstrak: Di Malaysia, kebangkitan budaya dan gaya hidup Islam termasuklah pengembangan dan pelaksanaan shariah yang ketat, fesyen-fesyen dan program-program atau acara-acara berbentuk keislaman semuanya dikaitkan dengan peningkatan konservatisme. Di satu sudut, ia dilihat sebagai perkembangan yang menggalakkan, namun di satu sudut yang lain ia dilihat sebagai satu ancaman kepada nilai-nilai toleransi dan kesederhanaan yang dianjurkan oleh Islam. Ini adalah kerana konservatisme sering disalahtafsirkan sebagai sikap dan perilaku yang ekstrim, eksklusif, diskriminatif dan opresif. Namun adakah konservatisme benar-benar mencerminkan dan mempromosikan nilai-nilai yang memudaratkan tersebut? Bagaimanakah konservatisme sebagai konsep yang kerap digunapakai dalam wacana politik dan sosial boleh digunakan sebagai alat untuk menerangkan fenomena agama? Dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan, makalah ini cuba untuk mendedahkan konsep konservatisme daripada perspektif teologi dan falsafah serta membincangkan perkaitan konservatisme dan konsep-konsep pemikiran Islam yang sedia ada di Malaysia. Makalah ini mencadangkan bahawa konservatisme adalah sebuah falsafah yang menentangi kekuasaan akal tanpa bimbingan wahyu. Oleh yang demikian, konservatisme dikenali sebagai “falsafah ketidaksempurnaan.” Sebarang sikap-sikap atau tindakan-tindakan yang negatif bukanlah disebabkan oleh konservatisme, namun ia disebabkan oleh pergantungan semata-mata kepada akal manusia yang tidak sempurna yang tidak dibimbing oleh wahyu. Penemuan ini telah menyemak dan mendefinisi semula konsep konservatisme sedia ada dan kategori-kategori pemikiran Islam yang lain bersesuaian dengan konteks Malaysia dan seterusnya menerangkan kesan tidak langsung peningkatan budaya dan gaya hidup Islam di Malaysia. Kajian akan datang sepatutnya menumpukan pada kaedah empirikal untuk menilai konservatisme dan kesannya ke atas masyarakat Malaysia.Katakunci: Islam, budaya, konservatisme, pemikiran, Malaysia

Relational Orientation

The ability to cooperate with others in interorganisational dyads and networks is a source of competitive advantage for firms today. However, the question arises as to whether managers are aware of this and implement relational orientation as a strategy in their firms to obtain relational rent. The purpose of this paper is to provide an answer to this question. The research was conducted on 53 companies based in Poland using semi-structured interviews with executives. On one hand, the research results allowed recognition of the importance of and reasons for firms forming, developing, and withdrawing from interorganisational relations, and on the other hand, confirmed a relationship between a managers’ network awareness and the strategic relational orientation of their firms. The higher the manager’s network awareness, the more interorganisational relations a company forms with different partners, and the better the manager’s knowledge about their partners’ expectations and needs, which are then included in a company’s strategy.

Penelitian tentang internalisasi toleransi pada lembaga pendidikan penting dilakukan sebagai salah satu cara deradikalisasi kaum muda dan membuat mereka lebih toleran terhadap sesama. Internalisasi toleransi jika dilihat dari taksonomi Bloom memberikan gambaran di wilayah kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Hasil penelitian menyebutkan, domain kognitif siswa SMKN 1 Grogol Kediri terkait materi toleransi, mereka memiliki basic kognitif yang baik dikarenakan proses pembelajaran yang baik dan memiliki bekal pengalaman bertoleransi dalam lingkungan yang majemuk. Domain afektif, para guru memberikan pengakuan terhadap siswa akan rasa nyaman pada minoritas, sehingga semua murid dengan latar belakang yang berbeda (horisontal dan vertikal) bisa berkembang menjadi lebih baik. Domain psikomotorik mengedepankan adanya pembiasaan dan keteladanan. Siswa SMKN 1 Grogol Kediri dibiasakan untuk bertoleransi, menghargai perbedaan, dan mendapatkan keteladanan dari para gurunya. Baik ketika bergaul dengan sesama maupun dengan orang lain. Sebagai rekomendasi penelitian yang akan datang, bullying merupakan persoalan tersendiri. Di satu sisi ia jelas sikap anti toleran, namun di sisi lain, ia adalah bentuk pergaulan para siswa.Kata kunci: internalisasi, toleransi, afektif, perbedaan                      Research on internalizing tolerance in educational institutions is important as one way to de-radicalize young people and make them more tolerant of others. Internalization of tolerance when viewed from Bloom's taxonomy provides an overview in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor areas. The results of the study mentioned, the cognitive domain of students at SMK 1 Grogol Kediri related to tolerance material, they have a good cognitive basis because of a good learning process and have a stock of tolerant experiences in a plural environment. In the affective domain, teachers give recognition to students about being comfortable with the minority, so that all students with different backgrounds (horizontal and vertical) can develop better. The psychomotor domain emphasizes habit and exemplification. Students of SMK 1 Grogol Kediri are accustomed to tolerating, respecting differences, and getting an example from their teachers. Good when hanging out with others and with others. As a recommendation for future research, bullying is a problem in itself. On the one hand he is clearly anti-tolerant, but on the other hand, he is a form of association of students. internalization, tolerance, affective, differenceKeywords: internalization, tolerance, affective, difference
