The Relationship

What innovative policy tools can be introduced so that the provision of local services will mitigate inequality among residents of different localities? Based on the ‘new localism’ approach, this article examines one such tool—a mandatory national standard for services provided by local authorities (a ‘service basket’)—and suggests that the implementation process should consider local variation and autonomy. The novelty of our approach lies in including both objective and normative considerations in the methodological instrument that we developed to capture these two dimensions. This innovative methodology also enabled us to estimate existing service gaps among local authorities and the burdens some will face upon instituting a mandatory service basket.

Technological change is creating strategic and managerial challenges. This holds true in the case of disruptive innovations, which are reshaping industry boundaries, exposing organizations to new competitive logics and threats. Companies face the need of new strategies and innovative thinking capabilities. This chapter provides a systematic literature review on the role of disruptions by identifying the changes they have brought in the markets and the new challenges for managers, especially within the domain of strategic management, since disruptive innovations may modify strategic and innovative thinking. The final analysis has been conducted on 19 journal articles published between 1995 and 2018. The results show the strong interplay existing between strategy and innovation management, but they also highlight the relationship between innovative thinking, learning, human capital, and capabilities' acquisition. Furthermore, they encourage further research in the light of the multiple trajectories offered by innovation and disruptions for diverse companies and industries.

Each adaptation in business is an impulse to change and may cause unexpected behaviour inside or outside the company. This article aims to present an innovative thinking bond and investment success in overcoming the crisis, based on the results of the research carried out. From knowledge of current methods of management and business management services in general it can be inferred that the enterprise can develop an open system that is capable of rapidly adapting to positive and negative external influences. Which interactions support the dynamics and adaptability of the strategy in a positive way? As a contribution to the literature, the paper will highlight which elements have the biggest influence on the flexibility of business and which items are the most important for sustainable behaviour in an uncertain and turbulent environment. In this survey (twice observed groups), the main aim is to identify the effect of investment on innovation, strategy preparation and the relationship between financial ratios and company performance. The survey of this study was conducted with owners and managers of small and medium size businesses in the Czech Republic (under 250 employees) operating between the years 2007–2012. The main goal of this paper is, based on the literature review, to provide a practical model of adaptation. Research methodology, analyses results and research models will take place in the second section. The results of the analyses will be discussed and recommendations will be provided in the last section. The QRBITS analysis is presented as a special tool for analyzing the business environment and resources. Finally, a model of dynamic entrepreneurship is presented as a combination of factors which generate the final effectiveness of strategy implementation.

Knowledge is an important organizational asset and it is essential to ensure efficient performance and competitiveness. Knowledge Management (KM) appears, therefore, as an important tool to guarantee the identification, absorption, creation, sharing and application of organizational knowledge. Innovation is seen as the creation or improvement of methods, practices, technology, product or service. In this scenario, this research had as a general objective to carry out a study of the conceptual foundations of Knowledge Management which are valid for innovation in public projects and as specific objectives to carry out a theoretical-conceptual survey on Knowledge Management, characterize the relationship between Knowledge Management and innovation and point out the valid indications in this study that support the innovation of public projects. The question to be answered was: How can Knowledge Management be used to support innovation in public projects? This research was elaborated through the Content Analysis Method and presented, as a result, the conclusion that the KM process as a whole has practices that aim to create in an organizational environment conducive to the emergence of innovative thinking encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, the search for solutions and making individuals better qualified.

The Relationship

The effect of different factors on the relationship between work engagement and commitment on one hand and performance on the other is already established in the extant literature While a multiplicity of studies have identified differences in the moderating effect of experience level, gender, age on work engagement, commitment and performance is barely explored in the current literature even though with greater certainty. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of transformational leadership attributes on the employees’ work engagement. The results of the analysis earlier presented means that both hypotheses must be accepted. The study found out that while intellectual stimulation affects employees’ performance, the effect of idealised influence on employees’ work performance is significantly higher. The results affirm the long held notion that encouraging innovative thinking is an important factor that contributes to employee performance and vice versa.

The Relationship

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.
