The Impact

In the context of today’s globalization, Vietnamese enterprises, especially small and medium ones (SMEs), have to face with many challenges and have to innovate for survival and development. The global integration process also means that local enterprises have to compete with foreign enterprises with advanced knowledge and modern management skills. Therefore, in order to ensure sustainable development, local enterprises should be ready with knowledge management (KM) practices in order to achieve high efficiency and strong competitive advantages. This research is to explore the impact factors on the innovation performance of SMEs in Lam Dong province. Based on the previous model of Berraies et al. (2014), some factors of KM processes impacting on the innovation performance of Vietnamese SMEs are explored and evaluated. Measurement scales are inherited selectively to suit the context of this research. The analysis results of this study showed that the innovation performance of SMEs was affected by the knowledge creation process. This result pointed out the knowledge creation process was affected by some KM enabling factors, such as trust, collaboration, learning, reward, decentralization, formalization, IT support and T-shaped skills. From this result, some recommendations for improving the innovation performance of Vietnamese SMEs by KM approach are also suggested.

Gentrification is a controversial term that refers to certain changes in neighbourhoods that result in the economic and social transformation of a low-income area into one of higher value, moving or pushing out the old population and businesses. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a new branch of research in the field of environmental studies. It presents a bibliometric analysis of the gentrification process, scanning the scientific articles published in journals since 1979, from different knowledge areas and analysing the impact factors and the evolution of the term itself. The review of scientific journals uses the Web of Science and Scopus databases for analysing the evolution of papers, the impact factors and references related to this concept. The results show that the literature related to gentrification is increasing at a very high rate, particularly in the fields of environmental science. Since 1987, the number of scientific papers in environmental studies that have focused on this topic have increased at an annual rate of 60.4%, making it a promising subject for researchers. Thus, the article represents a contribution to identify the main trends in gentrification research and environment and, from there, propose future research initiatives.

<p>Critics argue sharply and blamed top management inappropriately for utilizing corporate strategic philanthropy as a tool to redeem their fallen image instead of the interest of the company. Nevertheless, there is a school of thought that believes that strategic philanthropy model have no impacts on the corporate performance especially in the recession period. This study focuses on Measurement of the impact of strategic philanthropy behavior on profitability measures: ROA, ROE.  This study also measure Gross margin and Turnover model of strategic philanthropy in the selected firms. This research begins with audited consolidated financial statement of 59 listed companies comprising of 471 subsidiaries that were operating in the four years under study to obtain the secondary data. Initial approach of Statistical analysis method using IBM SPSS version 21 is used to analyze the data obtained from the secondary source. The research findings support the null hypothesis that there is no evidence to support that strategic philanthropy have impact on firms’ performance. Based on the research findings, managerial implications and directions for future research are discussed.</p><p>Keywords: Return on assets (ROA), Return on equity (ROE), Gross margin, Turnover, Subsidiaries</p>

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to answer the question of how entrepreneurs can take advantage of and exploit the conditions and opportunities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: In the paper, we apply the conceptual review method in order to review extant knowledge, identifying important research gaps, and propose a conceptual framework for the research. Findings: We propose a conceptual framework of the recognition and exploitation of business opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The framework assumes the influence of specific dynamic capabilities (strategic foresight – at the strategic level and innovation, self-structured and relational capabilities – at the operational level) and the entrepreneur’s key characteristics (being intuitive, having the ability to learn – especially in the field of crisis management, being innovative, having leadership competencies and having the ability to use advanced digital technologies) on the identification, creation and exploitation of opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research limitations: The main limitation results from the dynamism of the pandemic situation. Therefore, our results need further empirical verification. Practical implications: The model provides managerial implications for entrepreneurs responsible for decisions and actions during the pandemic crisis. We underline the importance of the development of entrepreneurs’ own competencies as well as the development of the competencies of their employees in the context of crisis management. We especially suggest that managers develop leadership competencies which relate to the competence of how to delegate powers and build empowerment in order to take advantage of the opportunities resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To exploit opportunities effectively, they should be recognized early, and therefore entrepreneurs should consider the benefits of using intuition in this area. Value: The special value of the paper can be seen in the context of the analysis. There is a shortage of studies identifying the impact of dynamic capabilities and the entrepreneur’s characteristics on the exploitation of opportunities during the specific situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Different theories concerning pathways to insight have been proposed which underpin the numerous assessment measures. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one treatment approach that has been used to improve insight. Aims: The aim of this review was to promote a greater focus on developing effective CBT strategies to ameliorate insight in psychosis through the exploration of the concept of insight in psychosis and evaluation of research in the area. Method: A comprehensive search and review of published studies examining the impact of CBT on insight in psychosis was conducted. We searched the databases PubMed, Medline, PsychInfo, the Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Database, and CINAHL with limits set to 10 years, humans, and English language. We hand-searched reference lists of major studies on insight, and theoretical review papers. We filtered our results according to relevance and chose 50 papers for final consideration. Results: The multidimensionality of insight is reflected in the variety of different insight measures in clinical use. Research findings on the impact of CBT on insight are conflicting. Cognitive insight and clinical insight appear to be different concepts that are not fully captured by existing measurement scales. Conclusions: The conflicting results found in research examining the impact of CBT on insight may be partially explained by the different theories underpinning insight in psychosis communicated through psychoeducation in CBT. Furthermore, the use of more than one insight assessment measure may capture the complexity of insight more effectively. Qualitative research with service users would enrich the knowledge in this area.

Abstract Innovation either in products or processes requires innovation capability. Such ability, as a result, facilitates firms to succeed and gain competitive advantage in the industry by improving their efficiency of creating and marketing products and/or services. In this context, current research examines how risk-taking and proactivity dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation influence types of process innovative capabilities; and to what extent this relationship is strengthened/weakened by social capital. Authors collected data from chemical manufacturing firms of Pakistan, and carefully analyzed it with multiple regression technique. The findings revealed that proactivity and risk-taking facilitate incremental and radical process innovation. The moderation of social capital further strengthened the impact proactivity had on radical process innovation. However, moderation of social capital did not strengthen the impact risk-taking had on incremental and radical process innovation. Surprisingly, social capital demonstrated significantly positive impact on radical process innovation. The paper also discusses the theoretical and managerial implications.
