Organizations from different industries worldwide focus their efforts and budgets to enhance employees’ creativity which is widely perceived as a major success ingredient in today’s challenging business environment. Consequently, practitioners and managers establish reward systems to enhance employees’ creativity. However, the literature presents opposing views pertaining to the relationship between rewards and employees creativity, such that some scholars find it important to be intrinsically motivated to be creative whereby others find extrinsic motivation (e.g. rewards) to be important to enhance creativity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review by presenting prominent theories addressing the role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in enhancing employees’ creativity. It then highlights the research questions intended to be investigated and finally presents the context of proposed empirical research. Keywords: creativity, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, rewards

The successful emergence of on-line communities, such as open source software and Wikipedia, seems due to an effective combination of intelligent collective behavior and internet capabilities However, current internet technologies, such as forum, wikis and blogs appear to be less supportive for knowledge organization and consensus formation. In particular very few attempts have been done to support large, diverse, and geographically dispersed groups to systematically explore and come to decisions concerning complex and controversial systemic challenges. In order to overcome the limitations of current collaborative technologies, in this article, we present a new large-scale collaborative platform based on argumentation mapping. To date argumentation mapping has been effectively used for small-scale, co-located groups. The main research questions this work faces are: can argumentation scale? Will large-scale argumentation outperform current collaborative technologies in collective problem solving and deliberation? We present some preliminary results obtained from a first field test of an argumentation platform with a moderate-sized (few hundred) users community.

Chatbots are a promising technology with the potential to enhance workplaces and everyday life. In terms of scalability and accessibility, they also offer unique possibilities as communication and information tools for digital learning. In this paper, we present a systematic literature review investigating the areas of education where chatbots have already been applied, explore the pedagogical roles of chatbots, the use of chatbots for mentoring purposes, and their potential to personalize education. We conducted a preliminary analysis of 2,678 publications to perform this literature review, which allowed us to identify 74 relevant publications for chatbots’ application in education. Through this, we address five research questions that, together, allow us to explore the current state-of-the-art of this educational technology. We conclude our systematic review by pointing to three main research challenges: 1) Aligning chatbot evaluations with implementation objectives, 2) Exploring the potential of chatbots for mentoring students, and 3) Exploring and leveraging adaptation capabilities of chatbots. For all three challenges, we discuss opportunities for future research.

Based on a survey of marketing managers and MSME managers, this study shows that MSMEs face various internal and external pressures to adopt digital marketing platforms as a medium to improve their marketing. This can be seen from the low perception of respondents on the influence of the entrepreneurial orientation variable on marketing performance. However, in this case, MSME Marketing Performance is influenced by digital marketing and marketing orientation, each coefficient value for digital marketing is 0.215 and CR 3.387 (P-Value 0.000 < 0.05) and marketing orientation is 0.621 and CR 8.466 (P-Value 0.000 < 0.05). ). The involvement of digital marketing and marketing orientation in MSMEs is expected to increase the company's performance and income. To increase digital marketing engagement, MSME actors who focus on relationship-based interactions with their customers through various digital marketing platforms and on-line buying and selling sites are still expected. This research shows how some companies outside of MSMEs have achieved this. This study makes an important contribution in improving the marketing performance of MSMEs through the relationship of digital marketing platforms, customer orientation and entrepreneurial orientation.

Although marketing strategies are often accused of stimulating overconsumption, businesses increasingly show potential as enablers of sufficiency. The concept of sufficiency contributes to sustainable development through the absolute reduction of resources and energy used for consumption by questioning the level of demand. This study analyzes reasons and potential practices for commercial marketing to promote sufficiency through a systematic literature review of scientific publications, guided by the following research questions: Why should commercial marketing promote sufficiency? How can commercial marketing promote sufficiency? Which barriers for promoting sufficiency occur? The content-based study of 17 publications in the final review sample delivers recommendations for how to practically implement marketing for sufficiency, and theoretical considerations for strengthening the discourse within macromarketing and beyond.

Purpose This study aims to furnish the systematic literature review on integrated reporting (IR) and answer three research questions: How has the IR concept been developed recently across the different countries? How can the literature of IR be allocated among different focus areas/themes? What are the future opportunities available for IR? Design/methodology/approach The methodology involves selection, classification and categorization of 110 articles on IR into their focus areas, journals, time distribution, continent-wise distribution, research methodologies and keywords analysis. Findings The findings of the study suggest that there is a need of the following: increasing the case studies and empirical research in developing assurance models, analysis of the perception of shareholders in Asian countries, harmonization of financial and non-financial standards, research on the IR of non-listed companies. Practical implications It provides insights to practitioners regarding the challenges faced by the economies and internal organization. It might help researchers and academics to focus on developments of IR in different countries. It might also help regulators to develop some policies, models and frameworks for its future implementation. Originality/value It furnishes the outline of 110 articles published in eminent journals from the year 2011 to beginning of 2020.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on the systematic review on the topic of plural policing. The authors aim to discuss the general characteristics of empirical research into plural policing and describe the way in which police literature deals with the questions related to plural policing. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic review, including qualitative research, focused on empirical research results. Findings – First of all, plural policing has been subject of study in a diversity of contexts, using multiple methods and treating very diverse research questions. Although the dangers of blurring boundaries between policing actors is a focal issue in contemplative papers, empirical research on plural policing does not focus on this issue but mentions it in the margins of the research results. Research limitations/implications – Limitations are that the authors had to set a timeframe for the systematic review and that not all research was accessible. Furthermore, the authors had to limit the studies that could be included in this systematic review. Social implications – One of the main research questions relates to the dangers of blurring boundaries between multiple policing actors. This has important implications for citizens in their relations and contacts with police actors (in terms of transparency, equality of rights and so on). Originality/value – The paper gives a first insight into a domain that is written on extensively, but less empirically studied and sheds light on the studies that have taken the topic of plural policing as the focal point.
