Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments have an impact on the development of financial markets around the world, especially in countries of growing importance for the global economy. Russia is one of the countries which are mainly linked to the energy and raw materials sector, so at a time of fluctuations on those markets, its economy is less predictible for international investors. The regulations for investors in this country (also non-residents) need to be improved to overcome the negative effects of world financial crisises and to rebuild financial markets. Russia is also an economy with large amounts of capital to invest, so it is interesting to observe its financial flows to other countries in the situation when existing regulations are stopping capital for domestic investment. The following article analyzes the flows of portfolio investment in Russia in the twenty-first century based on balance of payments data in conjunction with changes in the geopolitical situation and the investment attractiveness of the country. Capital invested in the form of portfolio investments is fragile and often short-term, and it is most vulnerable to periods of recession, causing rapid changes in the flow of this kind of capital. These relationships can be clearly observed in Russia. The strong interest of foreign investors in the Russian economy, in the form of direct and portfolio investments, started in 2000 and lasted until 2006. In the first half of 2008, decreases were slow compared to the record high of the previous year, but from September they accelerated to such an extent that by the end of the year they had reached almost 100%, depicting a sharp decline of foreign investors’ interest in the Russian securities market. This translated into a decline on the Russian stock market. The Russian economy since the beginning of the twenty-first century has experienced a significant influx of foreign capital, including in the form of portfolio investment. However, in comparison with the possibilities of the development of the economic potential of Russia, it is still a small amount.

A reexamination of the role of equity in planning is critical at this contentious period in US history. Racism and anti-immigrant sentiments have arisen in our public policy debates, cities have again experienced riots, and inequality has grown. Equity has long been a center of tension throughout planning history, and the field has struggled to balance activism and technocratic expertise. This article provides a literature review to inform and explore how planners can engage equity in this current contentious time period.

The Moment

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the framework of a fourth paradigm since the existing three paradigms in quality management are not sufficient anymore to understand what happened in the past and surely fail to understand what is happening at the moment and needed in future. Design/methodology/approach A literature review has been undertaken on different visions on quality management that are used. The underlying principles have led to three quality paradigms. Literature on quadrant models is studied to place the three existing paradigms and identify the possible characteristics of the fourth. Findings One can discern four quality paradigms in quality management: the Empirical Paradigm, the Reference Paradigm, the Reflective Paradigm and the Emergence Paradigm. The use of these paradigms differs according to the context. Together they form a concept of Total Quality Management. At the moment the Emergence Paradigm has not had enough attention although it might be the best equipped to find new ways of working for the organisations in the current context. Research limitations/implications In the literature review the authors selected seven journals in the Business Source Premier database: Total Quality Management (Total Quality Management & Business Excellence); the Academy of Management Review; Product and Operations Management; Organisational Dynamics; the Harvard Business Review; the Sloan Management Review and Organisational Behavior and Performance. In the advanced search mode the authors entered two subjects: “quality management” and “paradigm”. The selected results (in total 289 articles) were examined for its fitness for answering the questions above. That resulted in a selection of 26 articles that are being used in the literature review. Practical implications The Emergence Paradigm can be further investigated on its use for quality management in organisations in times of emergent change. Some first insights have been presented here. Social implications The Emergence Paradigm can have impact beyond the field of quality management. Originality/value The paper provides new insights in the essence of quality management in times of change and clarity on the usability of the thoughts and tools of four different paradigms in the twenty-first century.

The purpose of this study is to define process management as a requirement of organizational excellence in the twenty-first century business environment. The business environment in the twenty-first century has reached a new height as far as challenges are concerned. The Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences have shaped a new business environment that requires organizations and businesses to raise the bar for themselves in honoring their obligation to achieve excellence. This means that competitive advantage, quality service, and product are achieved through organizational excellence. How can process management help organizations and businesses achieve organizational excellence in such a hostile and turbulent business environment? Applying a conceptual approach, the study attempts to answer the question through a comprehensive literature review. Testable propositions have been formulated, action steps defined, and implications of the study established. By identifying workflow design (WFD), control and correction of workflow processes (CCWFP), monitoring of workflow processes (MWFP), and workflow promotion of process-related learning in organizations (WPPRLO) against the background of conceptualization, operationalization, and context, the study findings suggest that process management is indeed a requirement for organizational excellence in the twenty-first century business environment. Scholars and practitioners have the opportunity to confirm or disconfirm the validity of the assumptions and ideas presented in the study.

Mathematics education is one of the fields that agrees about the importance of integrating technologies into instructional activities in the classroom. However, only understanding technologies does not full fill the criteria of effective teachers, they have to be prepared and grasp the ideas of combining technologies, pedagogical, and content knowledge. This present study is a literature review which aimed at answering two mains questions namely, what is the TPACK framework and how does it influence our education system. Data were collected from articles related to technologies, ICT, and TPACK from thematic journals. The results found that TPACK is a well-known theoretical approach studying the pre-service teachers’ use of ICT. TPACK is accepted as an important framework for defining how well teachers integrate technologies in their classroom. TPACK model shows an effective way of thinking about integrating technologies along with pedagogies, and content knowledge. It has been developed for twenty-first century skills and used as a framework for developing teachers’ readiness toward the twenty-first century skills.
