The Impact

Organizational innovation is one of the important issues for organizations in every country to adapt to changing operating environments, scientific and technological progress, and crisis issues. This study aims to evaluate the impact of transformational leadership style and employee creativity on organizational innovation in universities in Vietnam. We employed Bayesian exploratory factor analysis and Bayesian regression analysis with primary data of leader–employee pairs to explore the abovementioned effects. The findings show that the components of transformational leadership style, including idealized influence (II), inspirational motivation (IM), intellectual stimulation (IS), and individual consideration (IC), have positive impacts on organizational innovation (OI) and employee creativity (EC). The findings also imply that employee creativity (EC) is a mediating factor in the impact of transformational leadership style (TLS) on organizational innovation (OI). Finally, increasing intrinsic motivation (INM) can increase the positive impact of transformational leadership style (TLS) on employee creativity (EC). Based on the results, we propose policy implications to promote organizational innovation in Vietnamese universities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The article considers the issue of the impact of innovation processes on the principles of marketing in foreign countries. It is studied that the emergence of global digital platforms, new business models also leads to the commercialization of such concepts as “talent”, “the field of progressive industry”, “high technology”. The introduction and active dissemination of innovative processes contributes to the growth of welfare, balanced technological, economic and socio-cultural development of society, ensures a high level of economic development in the world market. In recent decades, economically developed countries have seen a steady trend of increasing spending on the development of scientific and technical industries. The share of scientific knowledge in these countries accounts for 70% to 85% of GDP growth. The rapid pace of production of high-tech goods and technologies on a global scale contributes to the formation of a global market saturated with innovation as a new segment of the global economic space with its own characteristics and contradictions. The study of the impact of innovation processes on the principles of marketing; in particular the processes of its rapid development are relevant issues today. After all, active participation in the international market of innovation processes is a guarantee of access to advanced knowledge, stimulation of internal innovation, increasing the productivity of economic processes. Ensuring participation in the global market of innovation processes is possible only through the skilled use of international marketing tools and taking into account its distinctive features, such as rapid market volatility, short life cycle, lack of knowledge and difficulties in evaluating the product by customers, complexity of pricing and the need to adapt innovation. The peculiarities of the influence of innovation processes on the principles of marketing in foreign countries at the level of international marketing to determine the priority areas of its development in the market are analyzed. The study emphasizes that innovation is the driving force of entrepreneurship. The most favorable environment for the development of innovation is competition, in which each entrepreneur seeks to gain a competitive advantage through the introduction of innovation. It is proved that the main stimulus for the introduction of innovations is the possibility of obtaining additional profit (monopoly rent) due to the presence of significant differences in the production and sale of products on the market.

Under the impact of COVID-19, research on behavior recognition are highly needed. In this paper, we combine the algorithm of self-adaptive coder and recurrent neural network to realize the research of behavior pattern recognition. At present, most of the research of human behavior recognition is focused on the video data, which is based on the video number. At the same time, due to the complexity of video image data, it is easy to violate personal privacy. With the rapid development of Internet of things technology, it has attracted the attention of a large number of experts and scholars. Researchers have tried to use many machine learning methods, such as random forest, support vector machine and other shallow learning methods, which perform well in the laboratory environment, but there is still a long way to go from practical application. In this paper, a recursive neural network algorithm based on long and short term memory (LSTM) is proposed to realize the recognition of behavior patterns, so as to improve the accuracy of human activity behavior recognition.

Taking practical responsible decisions in the field of social and industrial management in the context of rapid development of digital technologies in the era of the knowledge economy is impossible without reliance on expertise. A kind of organization of activities for the production of ‘predictions’ is required, when not only an accurate assessment of the impact of certain factors and their possible interactions with each other is given, but also as a result of creative construction of scenarios for the development of processes and events, an understanding comes which factors need to be taken into account. At the same time, the expertise constantly faces criticism, calling the conclusions of experts arbitrary, unreliable and subjective. Often, expertise is confused with monitoring, evaluation, diagnosis, inspection or counseling. The authors of the article carried out a structural analysis of the content of the expertise processes in the project management vector in the digitalization era and came to the conclusion that the effectiveness of the expertise is significantly increased in case of clear regulation of this type of activity, providing the necessary status.

The Impact

To understand the distinctiveness of ports under state socialism, it is necessary to shift the focus from the built environment to flows of people, goods, knowledge and capital. In so doing, this article examines the operation of Yugoslavia's main shipping line, Jugolinija, from its inception in 1947 until 1960. This enterprise was based in the port of Rijeka, with both firm and port experiencing rapid growth during this period. The impact of state socialism can be seen in the primacy of the political over the profitability of the firm, with Jugolinija used to advance Yugoslavia's foreign trade and foreign policy, its interests being subordinated to the project of building self-managed socialism. It can also be seen in the unique challenges posed by having to operate at the intersection of the global market and a highly regulated economy – a situation that also created opportunities for the firm as a whole, as well as for its employees, who had access to foreign currency, travel and knowledge of the world. Jugolinija's privileged access to the world in what was still very much a closed society also created opportunities for ‘leaks’ of personnel and goods. Finally, socialist ideology left its imprint on Jugolinija's operations and shaped the ways in which its employees understood their work and the place of the firm within the Yugoslav economy. While it is tempting to see state socialism as ‘getting in the way’ of Jugolinija's business, in actuality the firm was remarkably successful both at operating within the Yugoslav socialist state framework, and capitalizing on the opportunities provided by access to the global market. Jugolinija's employees, in turn, profited from the mobility that came with working for the firm, sometimes at the expense of the enterprise and the state.
