The paper examines the external factors that influence the internationalization of the Born Global firms in Lithuania. The identification of such factors is based on M. Porter’s National Diamond model. Theoretical analysis of the model enabled us to distinguish 23 factors as potentially influencing the internationalization of firms. The impact of these factors on Born Global firms was explored upon performing a survey of 50 Lithuanian firms of this sort. The survey results have revealed seven factors as having a positive effect on the internationalization of Lithuanian Born Global firms.

AbstractParasitoids are significant enemies of many economically important insects and there is some evidence to suggest that their actions have a role in terminating the outbreaks of forest Lepidoptera populations. In this study, we examined the impact of parasitoids on the pupae of the pine processionary moth, and highlighted the presence of several parasitoid species for this developmental stage. A higher rate of parasitism was found when the pupal density in the soil was reduced, but the rate of parasitism was not influenced by pupal morphological traits or by the presence or absence of a cocoon around a pupa. Of the external factors examined, a delay in the time of descent of larvae from the trees had a positive effect on the level of parasitism. Observational data indicated that dipteran and hymenopteran were the most abundant parasitoids to emerge from moth pupae. Our study highlights the complexity of the parasitoid–host dynamics, and stresses the importance of carefully determining environmental effects on host–parasitoid relations.

The Impact

Tajikistan has formulated the strategy to rejuvenate the country through hydropower. The Rogun hydropower plant (HPP) is designed as the highest hydropower station, while its sustainability is also questioned due to a lack of comprehensive sustainability evaluation. Considering that the external environment of Rogun HPP is complex and changeable, its sustainable performance will be fragile and inconstant. To comprehensively assess the sustainable performance, an integrated evaluation framework, covering the current and dynamic sustainable performance, is urgently established. Therefore, this paper firstly explored the hydropower sustainability assessment indicators which can conform to Tajikistan’s situations and further examined the current sustainable performance of Rogun HPP. The case study found that Rogun HPP’s current financial viability, involuntary resettlement, the measures to prevent corruption, and information disclosure were seriously deficient. The SWOT analysis indicated the external factors, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, improving business environment, and easing geopolitical disputes, can eliminate weaknesses and improve the sustainable performance of Rogun HPP. At the same time, tight fiscal allocations and economic downturns will have negative influences on the sustainable performance. The integrated evaluation tool established in this paper can not only evaluate the current sustainable performance but also consider the impact of external factors on sustainable performance from a dynamic perspective. This paper contributes to the current knowledge system by establishing the hydropower sustainability assessment system which is suitable for Tajikistan’s conditions. Moreover, the results are informative for the decision-makers to have a better understanding of Rogun HPP’s current strengths and weaknesses, valuable opportunities, and potential threats.

Positive Effect

The structure of the business environment, as part of the socio-economic situation, indirectly affects a citizen’s quality of life. A “friendly” business environment has a positive effect on job formation, thus helping with employment. A country encourages formation and development of large enterprises through various incentives that reduce regional disparities, especially in less-developed regions. Nevertheless, a huge majority of enterprises in the European Union are small- and medium-sized. Self-employed persons are considered a specific form of business. Their activity is strongly influenced by state policy. This paper analyzes the business environment in regions of the Slovak Republic. Its principal aim is to examine the development of regional disparities and the related quality of citizens’ lives. An evaluation of statistical data of the structure of the business environment in the Slovak Republic indicated a change in legal units in relation to business. Although the number of legal units are stable, the number of legal persons has increased and that of natural persons-entrepreneurs decreased. Deepening of regional disparities was not observed across regions of the Slovak Republic.

This research paper examines the impact of external factors on the dynamics of foreign direct investment (FDI) trends in specific economies. The same subject will be analyzed through the examples of the Visegrad Group and the Republic of Serbia. The aim of the research is to determine the existence of a link between the impact of foreign direct investments on the growth and development of the economy observed through gross domestic product (GDP) in the 1990-2018 period. The results of the research indicate that Poland was the most successful in attracting and keeping FDI, compared to other countries. Further, the volume of FDI has been dependent on several external factors, such as overall business environment, economic crisis, political risks, positions in relevant institutions, pandemic, etc. Moreover, for the Republic of Serbia, it will be important that all stakeholders in the country have a proactive approach in order to keep FDI in the country. Finally, representatives of the authorities should be committed to fulfilling promised deals related to the regional cooperation and EU (European Union) accession and integration.

  The Conceptual framework of this study consists of the three main hypotheses to examine and reflect the positive relationship between the green purchasing capabilities ( integration, intra-organizational, innovative, financial and manufacturing)  and green purchasing practices (supplier selection, development, collaboration, and evaluation) on triple bottom line performance. (Environmental, economic and intangible performance). The results of the study revealed that green manufacturing, financial, intraorganisational, and integration capabilities have positive significant effects on green purchasing practices.  Nevertheless, innovation capabilities have no significant effect on green purchasing practices. On the other hand, the survey results indicate that green purchasing practices have positive effects on the triple bottom line performance of the firms. The research finding shows that there is a positive effect of green manufacturing capabilities, green integration capabilities and green intraorganisational capabilities on the triple bottom line performance. Meanwhile, there is no effect of green innovative and green financial capabilities on the triple bottom line performance of the firms.
