Abstract. Previous research has examined global cities networks by means of the sister city cooperations and the factors which influence its implementation. However, there is no research which examines the extent to which these factors influence the success of sister city cooperation. Therefore, investigating the success factors of the sister city cooperation that contribute to city management is carried out. The case study approach is used by applying in-depth interviews to key informants for subsequent coding and content analysis. We found that the reciprocal relations accurring between the two cities are main factors which spur the sister city cooperation so that it led to the improvement of human resources, helped reduce problems in managing the city environment, and triggered increased market opportunities and global competitiveness. This condition is also supported by consistent local leadership. Meanwhile, shared interests and community participation are needed as a prerequisite for a development process and cooperation relationships that do not directly affect the success of the cooperation. Abstrak. Penelitian sebelumnya telah banyak memeriksa jejaring kota – kota di dunia melalui kemitraan sister city dan faktor – faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap pelaksanaannya. Namun, belum ada penelitian menyeluruh yang memeriksa sejauh mana faktor – faktor tersebut berpengaruh terhadap kemitraan sister city. Untuk itu, investigasi terhadap faktor - faktor kesuksesan kemitraan sister city yang dapat berkontribusi terhadap pengelolaan kota dilakukan. Pendekatan studi kasus digunakan dengan menerapkan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci untuk selanjutnya dilakukan proses pengkodean dan analisis isi. Kami menemukan bahwa hubungan timbal balik yang terjadi antara kedua kota menjadi faktor utama yang memicu kemitraan sister city sehingga mengarah pada peningkatan sumber daya manusia, membantu mengurangi masalah pengelolaan lingkungan kota, serta memicu peningkatan peluang pasar dan daya saing global. Kondisi tersebut ditunjang juga oleh kepemimpinan lokal yang konsisten. Sementara itu, kepentingan bersama dan partisipasi masyarakat dibutuhkan sebagai prasyarat dari suatu proses pembangunan dan hubungan kemitraan yang tidak berpengaruh langsung terhadap kesuksesan kemitraan.

This article identified network characteristics critical for successful agricutural innovations within networks, or a set of interrelated organizations aiming at knowledge exchange for innovations. To explore key success factors, the research questioned how networks cope with innovation characteristics and combined network characteristics with four innovation characteristics in four agricultural sub-sectors. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with farmers and network coordinators and from focus group discussions with farmers active in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. Factors particularly helpful for success in agricultural innovation networks include numerous contacts, integration of knowledge providers in the network structure, face-to-face communication, a self-initiated coalition and surpassing innovation beyond the mere agricultural level, through collaboration with people from outside the sector. The findings are useful for academics, network coordinators and network members, possibly leading to a higher innovation performance via networking.

The aims of this study is to find out the understanding DPR members agains gender mainstreaming in DPRD Medan. This study uses a qualitative case study approach. After in-depth interviews with 5 Members of the DPRD Medan, the researcher can conclude that: 1. Members DPRD Medan do not yet understand the term gender mainstreaming in development. 2. Members DPRD Medan have not provided full support for the acceleration of the development of women's empowerment and child protection. These two things are seen from the lack of DPRD initiative rights in the drafting of a specific Regional Regulation on the Protection of Women and Children in the City of Medan. 3. Between the Legislature and the Executive does not have an understanding of the protection of women and children, the executive should propose a draft regulation on the protection of women and children to be endorsed as a regional regulation.

Game Changer

This study used a case-study approach to develop an understanding of how social-media strategy is developed and deployed in Big Ten Conference athletic departments and to explore the issues associated with it. Based on in-depth interviews with department officials, the following 6 themes emerged: connecting with target audiences, varied approaches in coordination of postings, athletic communications as content gatekeepers, desire to incorporate sponsors and generate revenue, focusing on building fan loyalty through engagement, and challenges of negativity and metrics. The social-media strategy in Big Ten Conference athletic departments appears to be driven by athletic communications/sports information departments as opposed to marketing departments. The greatest benefit of social media has been the ease of engagement and instantaneous connection between fans and the teams they love, which can lead to building greater loyalty to a team. Some of the challenges departments face include having to deal with the reality of crises and negative attention around programs more quickly than with traditional media and to measure social-media success accurately.
