For a long time, corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation have been studied from a number of academic perspectives, due to their intangibility and their significant role in gaining an organization's competitive advantages. Recent business circumstances (for example, the economic downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemy) bring new challenges for companies and their long-term survival. The aim of this paper is to review the constructs of corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation, and, thus, to remove or reduce the misunderstanding of the three constructs in the relevant literature. After a thorough theoretical review, some influential conceptual models were examined, pointing out the role of communication in the whole process of corporate marketing.

Encompassing firms to apply green policy in a holistic management practices are strongly required in order to maintain competitive advantages and experience long-term marketing performance. This current empirical research is aimed to fill the lack of empirical findings and empirical studies on firm's innovative concept. Green-based product innovation, green management practices and green corporate image are presented as the antecedents and postulated as the sources of sustaining firm competitive advantages. A questionnaire-based survey was deployed to collect data from Large Scale Enterprises in Indonesia with Top Management, Operational and Marketing Managers served as respondents. 500 questionnaires were mailed and 388 were valid for further analysis. Data was analyzed by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via AMOS statistical software. Statistical findings demonstrated that green-based product innovation, green management practices and green corporate image significantly has a positive affect to sustain firm competitive advantages which is led to enhance long term marketing performance. However, green-based product innovation plays insignificant direct relationship on long term marketing performance. This study discusses some managerial implications for enterprises and recommendations on a basis of green implementation.

A patient with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis was diagnosed more than 22 years after the onset of symptoms by a thoracoscopic lung biopsy, after a high resolution computerized tomogram of the chest was highly suggestive of the disease. After nearly 30 years since the onset of her symptoms, the patient leads a relatively normal life with only mildly abnormal lung function and has minimal reduction in her exercise tolerance. There have been few reports of patients surviving for such a long time after the onset of this disease; the literature suggests that most patients die within 15 years of symptom onset.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how Nespresso achieved competitive advantage through innovation by changing the rules of the game in its industry. Design/methodology/approach – Nespresso was analyzed based on public available secondary data, in combination with related academic concepts on innovation and competitive advantage. Findings – The company succeeded by the thorough application of a strategy that, through perfect alignment, allowed the company to reach a unique market position. However, as described in the case, it took a relatively long time and the company came close to failure several times. Before the current situation of the company, it remains challenging in the future as well. Hence, the Nespresso story provides interesting space for discussion and learning about what innovation is, how innovation emerges, and under which circumstances innovation can serve as a source for competitive advantage. Research limitations/implications – Especially given the current market situation, the case offers different starting points for discussion about innovation and long-term company success. Practical implications – Especially before the current market situation, the case offers different starting points for discussion about innovation and the success of a company on the long term. The case is designed to give practitioners a better understanding on what an innovation as, and how competitive advantages can be linked to innovation. Originality/value – This case of Nespresso is a unique combination of the concepts of innovation and competitive advantage. It serves as an example of an innovation, which was not successful from the scratch, but evolved over time and is still developing. As many innovations went through such a non-linear process, this case offers interesting lessons learned for academics as well as for practitioners.

The article presents the conceptualization of corporate reputation and its connection with related concepts of corporate identity and image. According to our research, the reputation is the result of established long-term collective judgments of stakeholders about the company, formed on the basis of its unique characteristics in order to ensure the competitiveness of the enterprise. The purpose of the present research is to develop an analysis of the relationship between competitiveness and corporate reputation on the example of a brewing company in Ukraine. The empirical component of the study is the analysis of the relationship between corporate reputation, according to the national rating on corporate reputation management, and enterprise competitiveness on the example of one of the leading companies in the Ukrainian brewing industry — Carlsberg Ukraine, which belongs to the Danish brewing group - Carlsberg Group. The assessment of the impact of corporate reputation rating on the competitiveness of enterprises was determined on the basis of the author's models of correlation-regression relationship. And for the analysis of reputation, the data of the Ukrainian national rating on quality of management of corporate reputation “Reputational Activists” were used. The results of the analysis allowed us to check the level of autocorrelation, determined using the Darbin-Watson test, which shows that autocorrelation is quite moderate. The pairwise correlation coefficient indicates an insufficiently close relationship between corporate reputation and enterprise competitiveness. According to calculations, the dynamics of the company's competitiveness can be explained by the dynamics of corporate reputation by 24.86%. Such results are evidence that corporate identity and corporate reputation have significant reserves of theoretical and practical nature of development and improvement to influence the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises and products.

Šiandien vargu ar atsirastų organizacija, abejojanti korporatyvinės reputacijos svarba. Tačiau iki šiol nėra bendro korporatyvinės reputacijos apibrėžimo. Požiūrių įvairovė turi savo pranašumų ir trūkumų: viena, tai leidžia korporatyvinės reputacijos sąvoką interpretuoti savaip, kita, tampa sudėtinga susigaudyti esamos informacijos kiekyje. Reputacija dažniausiai siejama ir / ar tapatinama su korporatyviniu įvaizdžiu ir korporatyviniu identitetu. Straipsnyje analizuojama korporatyvinio identiteto, korporatyvinio įvaizdžio ir korporatyvinės reputacijos sąvokos, jų panašumai ir skirtumai. Remiantis atlikta mokslinės literatūros analize, įvairių autorių pastabomis ir apibrėžimais, šiame darbe korporatyvinė reputacija suprantama kaip per tam tikrą laiką tarp suinteresuotojų susiformavusi, nusistovėjusi ir viešai perduodama nuomonė apie organizacijos veiklą, bruožus, rezultatus, vertybes, savybes ir pan., nusakanti galimą organizacijos elgseną ateityje ir parodanti organizacijos patikimumo, pripažinimo, pagarbos ir palankumo jai lygį. Kiekviena organizacija, neatsižvelgiant į jos profilį, tipą, sektorių ir dydį, privalo rūpintis savo suinteresuotaisiais ir palaikyti efektyvią komunikaciją su jais. Korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimas – ilgalaikis procesas, kuris duoda daug naudos organizacijai, tačiau dėl netinkamo elgesio gali būti sužlugdytas per labai trumpą laiką. Pagrindiniai teigiamos korporatyvinės reputacijos pranašumai ir nauda organizacijai yra pristatomi straipsnyje.Šio straipsnio tikslas – pristatyti viešojo sektoriaus organizacijų korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo principus. Išanalizavus ir apibendrinus įvairių autorių siūlomus korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo elementus ir modelius, darbe išskiriami esminiai korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo elementai – korporatyvinis identitetas ir korporatyvinis įvaizdis. Svarbu pabrėžti, kad, be šių elementų, organizacijos turi kreipti dėmesį į politinę, ekonominę, socialinę ir technologinę aplinką bei teikti kokybiškas paslaugas. Taip galima pelnyti suinteresuotųjų pasitikėjimą.Korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo principai straipsnyje išsamiai aprašyti ir pristatyti. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į pasikeitusį organizacijos suinteresuotųjų, kurie ir suformuoja teigiamą arba neigiamą korporatyvinę reputaciją, vaidmenį.

ABSTRACT Cattle are an important reservoir of Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli (STEC) O26, O111, and O157. The fate of these pathogens in bovine feces at 5, 15, and 25°C was examined. The feces of a cow naturally infected with STEC O26:H11 and two STEC-free cows were studied. STEC O26, O111, and O157 were inoculated into bovine feces at 101, 103, and 105 CFU/g. All three pathogens survived at 5 and 25°C for 1 to 4 weeks and at 15°C for 1 to 8 weeks when inoculated at the low concentration. On samples inoculated with the middle and high concentrations, O26, O111, and O157 survived at 25°C for 3 to 12 weeks, at 15°C for 1 to 18 weeks, and at 5°C for 2 to 14 weeks, respectively. Therefore, these pathogens can survive in feces for a long time, especially at 15°C. The surprising long-term survival of STEC O26, O111, and O157 in bovine feces shows that such feces are a potential vehicle for transmitting not only O157 but also O26 and O111 to cattle, food, and the environment. Appropriate handling of bovine feces is emphasized.

A crisis presents a severe challenge for every company, particularly, when it has ethical implications. Previous research has shown how the presentation of a crisis in the media can negatively affect corporate image. After surviving such a crisis, its adverse connotations may resurface years later in the minds of stakeholders, for example, through a feature film. The consequences of how a crisis re-emergence affects corporate identity, especially in the digital age of media proliferation, is not yet sufficiently understood. Hence, this paper outlines how a crisis reemergence impacts on corporate image through a detailed literature review and the discussion of a case. This paper shows the need to appreciate differences between UGC (user generated content, outside company control), and official news media (potentially manipulable) in relation to corporate reputation management, and consequently, the importance of targeted image restoration in light of crisis re-emergence.

Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first line drug in the care of high grade gliomas. The combined treatment of TMZ plus radiotherapy is more effective in the care of brain gliomas then radiotherapy alone. Aim of this report is a survival comparison, on a long time (>10 years) span, of glioma patients treated with radiotherapy alone and with radiotherapy + TMZ.Materials and Methods. In this report we retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 128 consecutive pts with diagnosis of high grade gliomas referred to our institutions from April 1994 to November 2001. The first 64 pts were treated with RT alone and the other 64 with a combination of RT and adjuvant or concomitant TMZ.Results. Grade 3 (G3) haematological toxicity was recorded in 6 (9%) of 64 pts treated with RT and TMZ. No G4 haematological toxicity was observed. Age, histology, and administration of TMZ were statistically significant prognostic factors associated with 2 years overall survival (OS). PFS was for GBM 9 months, for AA 11.Conclusions. The combination of RT and TMZ improves long term survival in glioma patients. Our results confirm the superiority of the combination on a long time basis.

The pugmark analysis of the elephants offers basic information to track the wild elephant migratory route, identification and census. For its study, four blocks viz, Sitapur, Lundra, Batouli (Sarguja district) and Farsabahar (Jashpur district) of northern Chhattisgarh were selected because these blocks are commonly visited by elephants and a major path route of movement of heard in inter/intra state. The most commonly consumed species belongs to family poaceae (22.58%) followed by fabaceae (19.35%) but their diet was mainly dependent on availability of seasonal food round the year and on their migration. Elephants extensively fed on Artocarpus heterophyllus, Syzygium cumini, Acacia nilotica, A. catechu, Dalbergia sissoo, Zizyphus mauritiana, Aegle marmelos and Ficus species, besides these elephants also utilized various grasses and shrubs as their food, which mainly included Dendrocalamus strictus, Cynodon dactylon etc. Elephants sometimes spent long time to feed on some particular plant species like D. strictus and Ficus species. Crop raiding, which was sporadic during the rainy season, gradually increased with more area being cultivated with the onset of monsoon. Analysis of pugmark revealed that the circumference varied from 63.80 cm to 172.70 cm whereas length x width varied from 22x20 cm to 60x55 cm, which reflects a substantial variation/differentiation of individual in heard in respect of their age, sex, size etcTherefore, management implications are needed to conserve the corridors for their long term survival and reduction of HEC. The study will be helpful to provide key information and facilitate better understating of the scenario to the forest department, policy maker and conservationist to plan, manage and improve the habitat towards the restoration and afforestation of suitable palatable species preferred by elephants of northern corridors of Chhattisgarh.
