The Impact

In the recent years, the world economy has undergone an enormous transformation. It can be noted that it is not only based on industry, but also on knowledge. Achieving a competitive advantage by regions is further focused on investing in fixed assets, but, what is also important, in human capital. At present, a factor that is increasingly important in achieving competitiveness is the ability to use intangible resources. Expenditures on education and research, investing in people, their knowledge and skills are an essential precondition of raising competitiveness. In the case of a highly qualified staff, it allows the efficient introduction of new technologies and the creation of new directions for its development. The competitiveness of the regions is influenced, inter alia, by human talents, knowledge, entrepreneurship, initiative and own resources to improve living conditions. Human capital is thus a key determinant of the competitiveness of regions in Poland. Therefore, the priority of this article is to analyze the impact of selected components of human capital on the competitiveness of regions in Poland in the years 2007-2014. The article is both theoretical and empirical. The first part reviews the literature closely related to the topic of the work. The second part includes a statistical analysis and a construction of a panel model estimated by the method of least squares. GRETL program was used for calculations. Imię autora*:

The Impact

The article presents the results of the analysis of the impact of new technologies and human capital on the contribution of new technological modes in the economy of the Siberian Federal District. Econometric estimates of the impact of new technologies and human capital on the contribution of new technological modes in per capita GRP in the Siberian Federal District`s regions of the Russian Federation were obtained. Elasticity coefficients of the contribution of new modes in per capita GRP due to new technologies evaluated with the capital labor ratio with fixed assets and the use of human capital evaluated with the share of employees having higher education were estimated. The use of new technologies is the most effective in Irkutsk region, Tomsk region, Novosibirsk region, Omsk region and Krasnoyarsk territory. The use of new technologies is inefficient in Trans-Baikal territory, Republic of Buryatia and Republic of Altai. The use of human capital is the most effective in Tomsk region, Irkutsk region and Krasnoyarsk territory. The use of human capital is inefficient in Republic of Buryatia, Republic of Tuva, Republic of Altai, Altai Territory and Trans-Baikal territory. The value of elasticity coefficients determines the necessity of increasing investments in the region either in fixed assets or to increase the share of employees having higher education.

The Impact

Estimates of coefficients of elasticity of the contribution of new ways to GDP per capita on the use of the new technologies estimated by capital-labor ratioof work by new fixed assets and on the use of the human capital estimated by a share of busy workers with the higher education during an economic crisis are received. The received results allow estimating the change of efficiency of use of new technologies and the human capital in the country and in regions of Central Federal District during the crisis. In the majority of regions, it corresponds with all-Russian tendencies. However, in several regions elasticity of the contribution of the human capital has not decreased. These are Kaluga, Kostroma, Yaroslavl regions. Elasticity of the contribution of the human capital to GRP provided with new technological ways the Voronezh, Ryazan, Tula regions has significantly increased. In the same regions elasticity of the contribution of new business assets has decreased less considerably, than on average on the Russian regions. Identification of the reasons of this phenomenon demands an additional research.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance in the context of developing countries. More specifically, the mediating role of a firm’s competitive advantage and intangible resources, namely, human capital and reputation are studied. Design/methodology/approach The study considered a sample of 100 Tunisian firms. The analysis makes use of the structural equation modelling method to explore the relationship between CSR and financial performance, by including mediator variables. Findings The results confirm that CSR has no significant direct effect on financial performance. In particular, they indicate that the social dimension of CSR has a negative impact on performance. However, CSR does have a positive impact on competitive advantage via the two intangible resources considered, human capital and company reputation. Research limitations/implications The research fills a gap that occurred in the previous literature. In effect, previous studies focussed only on the direct link between CSR and financial performance. In addition, it enriches the limited literature on CSR strategies in the context of developing countries. However, further studies should explore the opposite relationship, i.e. the impact of financial performance on CSR strategy. In addition, the authors believe that amongst other potential research avenues, it would be interesting to study the moderating role of the activity sector. Practical implications From a practical point of view, this study suggests new applications with respect to the link between CSR and financial performance. To enhance their company’s financial performance, managers need to ensure that intangible resources are managed efficiently. Originality/value The paper contributes to the literature by examining how a firm’s intangible resources mediate between CSR and competitive advantage and how competitive advantage mediates between intangible resources and financial performance. Second originality is related to the study of the link between CSR and the financial performance of business organisations in the context of a developing country.

The Impact

In the era of digital technologies, the issues of providing highly qualified personnel, the effective use of the intellectual potential of the territory and the creation of conditions for its reproduction are of particular importance. These problems are more acute in remote areas of the Russian Arctic. This is due, firstly, to the ultradispersity of the settlement system in the Arctic of the Russian Federation, and, secondly, to the imbalance between the demand and supply of labor resources in territorial and professional terms. Digitalization has become an integral component of education all over the world; therefore, the purpose of this article is to assess the availability of education in the regions of the Russian Arctic and to search for new targets for quality education in the context of digital transformation. The existing educational environment in the Arctic regions is analyzed in the article. The impact of urbanization degree on affordable education in remote Arctic regions is assessed. The financial capabilities of the population are investigated. Based on the analysis, a number of problems associated with the active dissemination of new technologies are identified. Recommendations for improving the educational process are given, taking into account the digitalization of society. The main stages of modernization of the educational process in remote regions of the Arctic are identified.

Small and medium enterprises (SME’s) are generally recognised as a factor, which influences economic growth and impacting competitiveness of country. In the context of globalization the impact of internationalization of SME’s is increasing and determines development of new technologies. The internationalization of SME’s is determined to a large extent by the human capital of entrepreneurs/managers. The aim of this article is to analyse and summarise elements of human capital, that are discussed in scientific literature and to distinguish the most important for SME’s internationalization. The research is based on the evaluation of human capital in scientific literature and analysis and synthesis of questions of SME’s internationalization. Mažos ir vidutinės įmonės yra visuotinai pripažįstamos kaip ekonominį augimą lemiantis veiksnys, turintis poveikį šalies konkurencingumo didinimui. Globalizacijos kontekste didėja MVĮ internacionalizacijos vaidmuo, lemiantis naujų technologijų plėtojimą. MVĮ internacionalizaciją stipriai įtakoja savininkų / vadovų turimas žmogiškasis kapitalas. Šiame straipsnyje siekiama išanalizuoti ir apibendrinti mokslinėje literatūroje aptinkamus žmogiškojo kapitalo elementus bei išskirti svarbiausius MVĮ internacionalizacijai. Atliktas tyrimas yra pagrįstas mokslinės literatūros žmogiškojo kapitalo vertinimo ir MVĮ internacionalizacijos klausimais analize bei sinteze.

Sociological View

What is the impact of the digitalization of society, primarily of the communicative sphere, on its human capital? Will the new generations, whose abilities and capabilities have been enhanced by digital technology, be more educated and more efficient than the previous ones? Or does the proliferation of new technologies have side effects in the form of restrictions on the growth of human capital, which will lead to impoverishment, diminution of the capabilities of the modern worker? Similar questions arose during the formation of each new technological order, and were first expressed by Plato in the dialogue Phaedrus, where he asks whether people will forget how to remember, having learned to write. They are also relevant in the era of digitalization. Sociologists have always been interested in the consequences of the development of technology and technology for society, its structures and institutions, for the perception of a person. A sociological view of the consequences of digitalization makes it possible to identify not only the advantages, but also new cultural, structural and institutional constraints for human capital - the spread of clip consciousness, shifting to decision-making machines, the loss of reliability of educational content and the risks of inaccurate information, the growth of the supply of unskilled labor based on digital platforms, transformation of the employee’s attitude and requirements to working conditions, etc...

The aim of the chapter was to model the impact of selected determinants (trade openness, human capital, entrepreneurship, and innovation) on regional competitiveness, as well as to propose future activities and measures required to be implemented to improve the competitive performance of the regions. The research was conducted on the sample of 18 regions in six European countries: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, and Romania. The database was prepared, and the statistical processing was performed in SPSS. In this data analysis, the following methods were used: comparative analysis, correlation, and regression analysis. The results of the research showed that the impact of the determinants—import dependence, the number of pupils enrolled in secondary education, gross domestic expenditure on research and development, and the number of companies per 10,000 inhabitants on the competitiveness of the region—are (statistically) significant.
