Flexible Integration

The modern development of research and development (R&D) is critical for Romania, an emerging country with smart people, scientists and entrepreneurs, especially in the actual context after the global crisis. In order to gain the desired performance in fundamental and applied R&D it is necessary to change the actual vision and to understand the importance of long term processes and the role of flexibility and adaptability to the movement of global markets. A new strategy for research and development (R&D) in Romania is necessary in the actual context, because it is very difficult to obtain the critical mass of resources and the processes of tranformation are difficult in the case of Romania. This research is also important because R&D is based on public funds and public organizations are typical isolated, dominated by an organizational fragmentation and the low caopability to adopt the technological progress. ERP systems represents a paradigm capable to sustain the Romania R&D strategy also because they represent the central element of the future e-governance architecture. That is why in the case of Romanian R&D strategy the integration of ERP should be consider in a special framework.

In this article we use the 100th anniversary of the development and approval of the GOELRO plan, the plan to electrify Russia (State Commission for the Electrification of Russia), as a cause to discuss the role of strategic planning in determining the economic destiny of our nation. Another reason for this is, of course, the lingering economic crisis in Russia and the inability to escape its grasp despite the growing number of strategies, programs, and projects being developed in Russia. The article suggests picking three points in time that were truly important for making fundamental decisions concerning the main development of the country for the subsequent years. The article proposes to consider these decisions, dating back to the early 1920-s, 1950-s, 1990-s, development strategies (strategies 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 respectively). The comparative analysis of their specific features, and conditions (internal and external) under which the strategies were developed and implemented, allowed the author to draw a line between first two strategies and the 1990-s strategy, and to formulate requirements for a new strategy (4.0). This new strategy is urgently needed not only for the economic recovery, but for constructing the economy that would make Russia one of the leading global economies. It should not only be able to provide the economy with opportunities for endogenous growth, but also for effective social development. In this regard, some thoughts are given on the recently published policy report on the strategic basis of the Russian economy development. The report is not, technically, a long-term economic development strategy, but by the expert community and the media it is perceived as a strategy for a certain ‘U-turn’ of the Russian economy

Within the context of modern management, business organizations need to realize that everything around them is changing: the rules of the game, the participants, the scale of activities, and the size of markets. In other words, nothing is constant. The changes may be both local and global, whereby developments may affect different fields: executive and administrative, technical and economic, social and public, informative and analytical. Managerial decisions taken inside an organization under the aforementioned conditions require sound theoretical grounds for selection in terms of potential risks and current and future economic effects. Traditionally, long-term decisions on setting goals for an activity of a business organization and determining ways to achieve them are considered within the framework of strategic planning, as a result of which a development strategy is formed. However, under current circumstances, the place and role of change management in the strategy of business organizations requires reinterpretation. The academic originality of this contribution lies in the specification of a concept for change management with regards to the activities of business organizations based on a strategic approach and adaptation to dynamically changing market conditions, including long-term planning. As part of the study, the essence of a strategic approach to change management regarding the activities of business organizations is considered, the principles of building a change management strategy are highlighted, and an algorithm for its development and implementation is proposed.

Discussions on the role of design in the post-industrial society, creates new definitions for design. In order to avoid placing a burden on the environment, designing is faced with a new context. In this context design supports long-term use, shared use, reuse, optimisation of useability and many other concepts related with environmental concerns and ethical attitude. It is evident that all these concepts require a new strategy for design where creating value and more human-centred products gain importance. This approach brings new organisations in product life cycle, because believing in these values most of the designers and manufacturers may agree on the new motto for design “less but better”. Therefore a comprehensive strategy is necessary for the communication of ergonomics experts and designers in the near future.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an international trade and development strategy. Launched in 2013, it is one of the ways that China asserts its role in world affairs and captures the opportunities of globalization. The BRI has the potential to enhance development prospects across the world and in China, but that potential might not be realized because the BRI’s objectives are too broad and ill-defined, and its execution is too often non-transparent, lacking in due diligence and uncoordinated. This article documents the background and context of the BRI, recounts what is known about the extent of the initiative and specifies its various motivations. It highlights that the initiative meets very large infrastructure investments gaps, which is welcome and needed, and that China’s goal of forging stronger links with its trading partners around the world are legitimate, so long, of course, as the underlying intent remains peaceful. Though many observers welcome the BRI, many others oppose it for good reasons, while others misunderstand it and oppose it for bad reasons. The paper identifies and discusses concerns about the initiative that relate to its geopolitical objectives, its priorities, its geographic scope, the role of state-owned enterprises, the allocation of resources, issues of transparency and of due diligence. Particularly, it shows that this initiative deals with a vast number of countries that are in very different states of development and that an apparent lack of well-defined priorities is holding the initiative back. The paper also highlights the issue of debt overload which is distressing several BRI countries and discourages further projects. It points briefly to possible improvements that China and the other stakeholders in the BRI can make to get the most out of their investments. The BRI, to be effective, needs to meet the basic conditions of a trade and development strategy, which are clear objectives, adequate resources, selectivity, a workable implementation plan, due diligence and clear communication. Involvement of multilateral lenders could help with this. Finally, China has to improve the evaluation of project’s risks and costs and step up its due diligence approach to demonstrate that it respects the long-term interests of those countries that are at the receiving end of its BRI projects.

Complement C3

Inflammation and genetic susceptibility influence the risk of lung cancer. During recent years, the role of complement as a part of the humoral response has advanced from being considered complementary to being regarded as a central element in innate immunity. C3 complement allotypes F and S have been associated with a number of inflammatory diseases. The C3F allele frequency is approximately 20% in Caucasian populations and the C3S approximately 80%, resulting in the three predominant genotypes FF (4%), FS (32%), and SS (64%). To our knowledge, no studies have investigated if different C3 allotypes or genotypes predict the risk of lung cancer. We tested in a long-term followup of 3,197 men aged 53 to 74 years the hypothesis that risk of lung cancer would depend on C3 complement genotypes. During 16 years, 160 subjects (5.0%) died from lung cancer, 68 men (6.1%) among complement C3 genotypes FS/FF, and 92 men (4.4%) among genotype SS; age-adjusted hazard ratio with 95%CI (HR) was 1.42 (1.04–1.94) and strongest, 2.71 (1.34–5.45), among the oldest fifth. C3 complement genotype variants were significantly associated with lung cancer mortality.

China is one of a handful of economies that has successfully achieved rapid long-term growth since the Second World War and is one of the fastest technological learners among latecomers. Its technological progress and economic success is attributable to the grand transformation of its development strategy since 1978. With special economic zones and encouraging inflow of foreign direct investment, China created conditions to help comparative advantage-following industries to grow and integrate with the global supply chain, paving the way for institutional reform and turning a relatively closed economy into a global manufacturing powerhouse. The catching-up strategy proposed by development economics to latecomers fails to take into account the evolutionary nature of industrial structure and downplays the role of initial factor endowments. The New Structural Economics advocated by Justin Yifu Lin underscores the importance of comparative advantage and learning, linking endowment structure and rapid economic growth. Late latecomers following the NSE approach and accumulating physical and human capital through learning are most likely to achieve rapid development and to upgrade from imitation to innovation.

The aim of this research is to study the moderating role of family management in the relationships between the intensity of research and development and the occurrence of continuous technological innovation and between the existence of technological innovation outcomes and long-term firm performance. The results show that family management reduces efficiency in the conversion of research and development expenses into technological innovation outcomes over time. Our findings also suggest that the influence of family management significantly contributes to improving the effect of the achievement of technological innovation on long-term performance.

An evaluation of the outcome of research and development is intrinsic for building a long-term foundation for economic development. The high technology exports are one indicator that can access the outcome of research and development of the economy. This study employed the data of high tech exports of 15 developed and developing economies during 2007-2018. The fixed effect regression estimates were analysed upon, validation of which is enumerated by the Hausman test. Two significant findings that the study implicates are, first, the benefits of an outward-oriented policy that has fewer tariff burdens will result in the promotion of high-tech exports. Secondly, the study is intrigued by the role of financial market development, which in turn is export-oriented, thereby reducing the foreign exchange burden. The enhanced access to financial markets and increased depth has proven to be congenial for high tech exports.
