This research is an attempt to idntfiy triangulation techniques that helps in overcoming constraints facing researchers within service markets based on high technology. Because of the high contact customer-telecommunication services providers (TSP) relationship, its reliability on the advanced rapid technology, and its short life cycle, telecommunication services are classified as a highly complex services market. In addition to the predominant characteristics of service, TSPs` marketing activities are directed at people (not goods), a matter that causes considerable difficulties in conducting research in telecommunication markets and also cusses challenges regarding finding acceptance. Hence, the pluralist perspective of triangulation, gives more attention on matching between various methodological techniques and difficulties in researching in such complicated markets. Moreover, triangulation as a methodological approach provides alternative techniques that may enable overcoming bias, eclecticism or other researching problematic issues. The purpose of this article is to explore the difficulties that pose a threat with respect to the validity and credibility of research output within high-tech services and the appropriate methodological research techniques the researcher can utilize to overcome these obstacles.

Managerial competencies, defined as the “underlying characteristics of an individual that have a causal relationship with effective or superior performance in the job” (Boyatzis, 1982, p. 12), are key to achievement of productive purposes in the Huila department, in Colombia. The present article, as an investigative result, seeks to identify those managerial competencies, both current and required, of the organizational leaders in the Passifloraceae productive sector in the Huila department, in Colombia. The epistemological paradigm used in this article is that of interpretivism. The reasoning method is deductive, and the methodological approach is mixed. The unit of analysis for this study consists of the directors of the associative organizations of Passifloraceae producers in the productive chain, where two types of players are identified: thirteen (13) leaders of organizations producing passion fruit, and five (5) representatives of institutions in the Huila department that influence the sector. The study concludes with the definition of the map of current managerial competences of organizations in the passionfruit productive sector, and is then contrasted with the map of competences required from these. It also highlights the importance of associativity for small producers, the need to continue conducting research in the sector, and the need to intervene through social outreach projects, so as to generate appropriation and training processes for a set of managerial competencies identified herein, which will strengthen management skills and competitiveness in this type of organization, and ensure, over time, generational change within the sector.

Sanitation Systems

Ethiopia’s mass-scale subsidized housing delivery programme has driven the rapid expansion of middle-income, mid-rise settlements on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, requiring the provision of infrastructure to newly developed areas. In the case of the Kotari housing project, established sanitation systems were deemed inappropriate for the site, resulting in the deployment of novel technology, a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR). Such decentralised technologies contribute to the heterogenous infrastructure configurations which characterise Addis Ababa’s sanitation landscape, reflected not only in material configurations but also in how they are governed. In this paper, we use the concept of ‘infrastructure interfaces’ as an analytical device to identify the key material connection points in the system. Working across scales, we scrutinise the governance arrangements at these critical junctures: the household, the block, the condominium, and the city. Our analysis challenges established understandings of infrastructural heterogeneity driven by the private sector, either through financialized elite infrastructures or informal survivalist practices. In Kotari, the state is the driver and the target is the lower middle class. Centring the state in these infrastructure configurations provides nuance to our understanding of how heterogeneity emerges. Our methodological approach accounts for governance at various scales, providing fresh insights into the relationality of infrastructure, particularly the human/technology interface and infrastructural failures. The case shows the importance of transcending binary readings of infrastructure configurations, such as on/off grid, state/private and formal/informal. Future work on the post-network city must go beyond simply denigrating or valorising alternative modes of service delivery.

The relevance of the article is due to the importance of the development of export of high-processing industries. Objective: to develop methodological support for assessing the neo-industrial export specialization of regions and its determining factors. The research methods included identifying potential assessment parameters and testing their applicability based on the analysis of economic development statistics of the region selected as an example. The proposed methodological support for the assessment of neo-industrial export specialization includes its integral assessment, assessment of goods and services, assessment of the contribution of the high-tech component to the change in exports, ranking of regions by absolute values of high-tech exports. The method of assessing the factors of neo-industrial export specialization involves the assessment of indicators that identify these factors of exo-and endogenous order – the development of manufacturing production, innovation potential, transport potential, the development of the export support system, and the international demand for the region's products. The practical significance of the proposed methodological support lies in the fact that it makes it possible to analyze the neo-industrial export specialization of Russian regions and the factors of its development, and to identify and analyze possible directions of development in this area.

ObjectivesResearch remains a foundation in advancing the field of neurosurgery. We explore attitudes and perceived barriers to conducting research in neurosurgery globally.DesignA 29-item questionnaire, consisting of multiple-choice questions, Likert scales and short answers.SubjectsClinicians at various stages of the Neurosurgical career.MethodsThe questionnaire was distributed through the Society of British Neurological Surgeons (SBNS) and European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS).ResultsA total of 324 responses from 29 countries consisted of Clinical Fellows (n=26), Junior Trainees (n=48), Senior Trainees (n=46), Sub-specialty Fellows (n=18), Consultants (n=128) and Professors of Neurosurgery (n=58). Whilst 83% of participants believe research is a crucial aspect of a neurosurgeons’ career, only a third (33%) believed that neurosurgery as a speciality fosters a culture that promotes research. The top three perceived barriers to conducting research were lack of time (78%), insufficient access to funding (58%) and lack of mentorship (49%). Despite these, more than 87% of participants are interested in formal academic roles with 58% willing to interrupt clinical training to pursue research opportunities. The region of clinical practice had no correlation with respondents’ research output or their perceptions towards research barriers.ConclusionsThis study identified important barriers to research, elucidating which, allows the neurosurgical community to improve integration of research into clinical practice.

Purpose. The study aims to develop a scientific and methodological approach of organizing a marketing-logistics-oriented management system for ecological, innovative enterprises (EIE) to ensure effective implementation and use of environmental innovations for the greening of material flows at the enterprise. Design/methodology/approach. The obtained scientific results are based on using a systematic approach, logical analysis, and synthesis to develop literature sources to determine methods to solving the problem of marketing-logistics-oriented management of the EIE. On the study of literary sources, the core and advantages of marketing and logistics management from the standpoint of the enterprise's efficiency and the functioning of marketing and logistics activities were identified. Also, domestic and foreign authors’ views about the interaction of marketing as a concept of management that is oriented on the market and logistics as a flow-oriented management were studied. This creates opportunities to increase commodity and information utility and value of goods. Findings. To confirm the article’s hypothesis, the scientific and systematic approach to the organization of the system “suppliers – ecologically innovative enterprise – marketing – consumers” for ecological optimization of material flows at the enterprise was offered. In particular, the research provides the use of matrix organizational management structure in organizing the activities of logistics and marketing services. In this case, such matrix structure ensures a rapid response of both systems to complex problems in supply and marketing and, at the same time, allows you to avoid duplication of functions of services and preserve cost-effective management of them. Originality/value. The necessity of transition from price competition for environmental goods and services to match for certain advertising activities aimed at stimulating ecological processes and a healthy lifestyle causes the formation of a marketing information system in an environmentally innovative enterprise. This system is intended to collect, accumulate, transmit, process, and analyze the information necessary for use by the marketing service to upgrade the planning and forecasting of marketing activities, improve demand for goods and services, and monitor the implementation of marketing activities. For effective marketing management of the EIE, it is necessary to monitor the environment’s condition based on marketing research constantly, always using modern marketing information systems and the latest information technologies. The purpose of the logistics system of an ecological, innovative enterprise is to ensure the availability of the necessary environmentally innovative products, goods, and services in the required quantity and range, of the specified quality, in the right place and at the right time. The functions of the logistics system of innovative ecological enterprises are determined to endow their viable work. The suggested scientific and methodological approach to marketing-logistics-oriented management of the EIE is based on constructing an optimal model of the EIE logistics system and the appropriate method of marketing information. Such attitude can be widely used in the design, creation, development, and research of EIE, regional, and national environmental innovation systems. It is directed at optimizing the movement of material flows on the system “suppliers – EIE – marketing – consumers” and managing these flows. Practical implications. A conceptual model of interaction of the marketing information system with the external environment for the rationalization of marketing activities and management processes of the EIE is constructed. The logistics system of ecological, innovative enterprises, which was formed in this paper, will improve the implementation processes of environmental innovations in the design “supplier – consumer” to green the enterprise and the region’s activities effectively.

This paper addresses fundamental research dilemmas, strategies, and tactics facing hospitality educators within the context of increasing industry and university expectations for research productivity. To date, collective hospitality research output has tended to be highly fragmented due to such factors as the wide variance in faculty academic preparation, the absence of uniform accreditation standards to guide the scope and thrust of scholarship, and the tendency toward topical, problem-oriented investigations. Ironically, recent literature reviews have suggested that even the predominant problem-oriented research approach has been of little value to the ongoing concerns of hotel and restaurant firms. In comparison with opportunistic and eclectic strategies, a programmatic research strategy is offered as one key to increasing the likelihood of publications that make a significant contribution to the hospitality literature. Tactical issues discussed include choosing a research stream, colleague collaboration within one's discipline, enrichment of theory and research methods, and increasing institutional research support. Current and future hospitality faculty should be encouraged to implement a programmatic research strategy in order to make real progress in solving the critical issues that confront the industry.
