The scope of this study is based on the Situational Leadership Theory according to the model created by Hersey and Blanchard, predominantly defined by two research sub-fields: leadership style and readiness of employees. This model distinguishes four different leadership styles, while the subject area of readiness of employees comprises two components: readiness of employees based on the competency component and readiness of employees based on a psychological (motivational) component. The subject matter of the study is to identify leadership style as a new variable which will be utilized for determining the interdependence with leadership efficiency levels and readiness of employees. Leadership efficiency is determined by the degree of compatibility between the dominant style of leadership and the level of readiness of employees. In addition to the main objective of the research, aimed at determining leadership efficiency, significant research findings come as a result of specific objectives. That is impact of the dominant leadership style on readiness of employees and leadership results, based on each specific component. The sample will be a random sample from a finite population of units, with repeated sampling and known probability sampling. A sample of size n=100, with a proportion of 0.10, is based on a list of top 100 biggest companies in the Republic of Serbia in 2019. The application of Principal Component Analysis aims to identify new variables in the form of regression coefficient results, while the application of the hierarchical regression model will help determine the impact of each leadership style on readiness of employees. The study findings confirm the basic hypotheses of the aforementioned model, with regard to the results of leadership efficiency, as well as its impact of each leadership style on readiness of employees.

This paper reports on a case study that evaluates the validity of assessing students via a computerized peer-marking process, rather than on their production of an essay in a particular subject area. The study assesses the higher-order skills shown by a student in marking and providing consistent feedback on an essay. In order to evaluate the suitability of this method of assessment in judging a student’s ability, their results in performing this peer-marking process are correlated against their results in a number of computerized multiple-choice exercises and also the production of an essay in a cognate area of the subject being undertaken. The results overall show a correlation of the expected results in all three areas of assessment being undertaken, rated by the final grades of the students undertaking the assessment. The results produced by quantifying the quality of the marking and commenting of the students is found to map well to the overall expectations of the results produced for the cohort of students. It is also shown that the higher performing students achieve a greater improvement in their overall marks by performing the marking process than those students of a lower quality. This appears to support previous claims that awarding a ‘mark for marking’ rewards the demonstration of higher order skills of assessment. Finally, note is made of the impact that such an assessment method can have upon eradicating the possibility of plagiarism.DOI: 10.1080/0968776042000259573

The Impact

Despite the importance given to manufacturing focus in the literature, the subject area continues to suffer from three interrelated problems: lack of agreement with regard to the meaning of “focus” the absence of a conceptual framework for integrating the existing body of research; and uncertainty with regard to the appropriate direction of future research. These problems should be addressed if the focus literature is to continue to mature, and if the true role of focus is to be understood in the light of the “newer” strategic imperatives, such as time‐based competition and flexible manufacturing. Introduces a conceptual model of focus specifically designed in response to these problems. The conceptual model identifies three distinct dimensions of focus, and relates these to the competitive factors facing manufacturing organizations. It is designed specifically to serve as a tool with which researchers and managers can discuss the impact of focus at the firm level. A review of key works in manufacturing focus is also included to justify the structure of the model, and to show how the model integrates previous conceptual and empirical research on focus.

Practical Implications

This study investigated the impact of two approaches to research-led education on students’ learning and their understandings of research in the context of two university courses in international business involving third year undergraduate and graduate students. One approach involved the lecturer using his research as the basis for a case-study assignment involving an intercultural business negotiation. In the second approach students conducted a research project in which they reviewed the academic literature to identify practical implications for business and theoretical gaps as the basis for future research. A questionnaire was used to explore students’ perceptions of the impacts on their learning and understandings of research. Students’ understandings of research were most informed by the research based learning project which was presented to them as an experience of doing research. Students valued the lecturer using his research in the course because of his enthusiasm and his expertise and mentoring in doing research. However many students developed only limited understandings of research in the subject area, despite their direct experience of the lecturers’ research. The implications for the design of research-led education approaches are explored.

This paper aim is to review the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Human Resources Management (HRM) recruitment processes. A systematic review was adopted in which academic papers, magazine articles as well as high rated websites with related fields were checked. The findings of this study should contribute to the general understanding of the impact of AI on the HRM recruitment process. It was impossible to track and cover all topics related to the subject. However, the research methodology used seems to be reasonable and acceptable as it covers a good number of articles which are related to the core subject area. The results and findings were almost clear that using AI is advantages in the area of recruitment as technology can serve best in this area. Moreover, time, efforts, and boring daily tasks are transformed to be computerized which makes a good space for humans to focus on more important subjects related to boosting performance and development. Acquiring automation and cognitive insights as well as cognitive engagement in the recruitment process would make it possible for systems to work similarly to the human brain in terms of data analysis and the ability to build an effective systematic engagement to process the data in an unbiased, efficient and fast way.

This article is devoted to the problem of integrating knowledge and data in the field of geo-ecology. The study of the dependence of the impact of technogenic explosions on various objects on a complex of natural factors is an important component of forecasting geo-ecological risks. The methodology of geo-ecological risks assessment has been developed in ICM&MG SB RAS, in which a low-frequency seismic vibrator is used as an instrument. Vibration sources provide stable emission of seismoacoustic signals with specified parameters, which allows them to be used as test signals. The paper considers the aspects of the development of the scientific information system "Active seismology", into which the experimental data of geo-ecological monitoring of explosions were integrated, and the Knowledge Portal, which provides navigation and meaningful access to information resources of the subject area.

The article highlights certain aspects of a conceptual model of the subject area of alterglobalization and estimates the implementation of an alternative global transformation pro gram. The research paper also evidences the relevance of an alter-global development model, which enables the fulfilment of new principles for the functioning of the world system and is based on social partnership, social protection and diversification. Prerequisites and consequences of the alternative global movement are identified and critical imperatives for the development of globalization are outlined. A number of imperatives for structural shifts which determine an alter-global model of the world economy development are indicated. The impact of these imperatives will strengthen over time, namely: global expansion of rights and freedoms, diffusion of global influence, demographic changes and lack of food and resources. The etymology of tectonic shifts in the development of the world economy is analyzed and its bifurcation points which require a transformation from a global model of development to alter-global are identified. Today, the major shifts are as follows: accessibility of technologies, aging of the population, urbanization, global growth of the middle class and shift of economic power to the east. The “black swan” theory is considered and factors that cause “black swans” events to occur are explored. The “black swan” theory is extrapolated and a number of potential unexpected events are described. These events could significantly threaten the current global economic order and can be prevented or resolved through the implementation of the alternative global concept of world development. It is found that pandemics, climate changes, economic collapse, wars and geopolitical changes are potential “black swans” of the current global economic order. The crisis background of the global economy is considered and it is shown that the threat of global instability and contradictions in economic interests can result in the collapse of the current economic order. Finally, the conclusions are made and prospects for further research on the subject area of alter-globalization are highlighted.
