Open Innovation’s Barriers In Creating Idea’s Explosion: A Conceptual Framework

Open innovation has been developing in the digital revolution era. Many research and references refer to how open innovation can influence the work process, productivity and other factors. The research focusing on how to generate the model of open innovation barriers to create idea’s explosion in innovation process. In detail, the research intent to investigate open innovation barriers from two factors comprise of Inside-in Factors and Inside-out factors. The research applied desk research method to provided conceptual and meta-analysis focusing on integration and proposing new relationships open innovation barriers comprise inside-in factor and inside-out factor. The conceptual and meta-analysis result provide two important factors of open innovation barriers consist of inside-in factor and inside-out factor. Inside-in factor refers barriers which come up by internal factors in the organization or firms itself. On the other hand, inside-out factor refers to barriers which come from external organization or firm. The managerial implication of the research can be applied in organization or firm which use open innovation process in their workflow or model business. Previous research has already identified three levels of analysis of barriers in open innovation, first level is internal level of firms, second level is innovation system of policies and third level is innovations funding and cultural level. Hence, the novelty of the research intent to investigate open innovation barriers from two factors comprise of Inside-in Factors and Inside-out factors

Key Success Factors in Implementing Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR) in Hospitals: Integrative Review

BPR is one of the most important ways for hospitals to make changes so that they can improve their efficiency and effectiveness. However, in practice, BPR in hospitals encountered many challenges and in the end did not achieve the expected results. Various studies have described the factors that lead to success or failure in the implementation of BPR projects so that the purpose of this study is to analyze the key factors that lead to success in implementing BPR in hospitals. This integrative review uses the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines with primary research articles in English which are accessed through the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases for the last 10 years. The article search results obtained 311 articles and the remaining 10 articles were included in the study. The results of the study obtained nine key success factors in implementing BPR in hospitals, namely management commitment, employee empowerment, methods and tools, information technology, environment and culture, external organization, BPR projects, finance and strategy. These factors are only generally representative of various hospitals including public and private hospitals because there are many other factors that can affect the implementation of BPR depending on the type, characteristics, and heterogeneous hospital environment. It is hoped that this key factor will be a concern when the hospital wants to make changes through the BPR project and can assist the hospital in achieving results according to the organization's vision.

Identification of pedagogical conditions of formation of the world outlook of a child in the family

Based on the analysis of the peculiarities of formation and methodological aspects of the spiritual sphere of Ukrainians in Mykola Shlemkevych's legacy, the article reveals pedagogical conditions of building a child’s worldview in the family – embodiment of spiritual and moral ideals in everyday life, unity with these high ideals, practicing such powerful upbringing methods as prayer, confession, communion with God (through high moral ideas in works of art, literature), communion, participation in worship, revealing the spiritual content of folk traditions, freedom of choice, religious faith, work on oneself, etc. Here the emphasis is on children’s independent participation in their upbringing. In this regard, the importance of ways of self-education – self-knowledge, self-analysis, self-observation, self-esteem, etc. – is revealed. This means finding and identifying democratic ways to build the spiritual world of a child in the family, relating to the expansion of the spirituality of Ukrainians in the works by M. Shlemkevych. It is substantiated, that it is highly important to assimilate morality through the transition to an idealistic Christian system of values, which has always been supported by M. Shlemkevych. Therefore, it has been concluded, that a high level of improvement of the child’s morality in the family can be achieved through the discovery of the Christian worldview and the recognition of the priority of spiritual and moral values. This is first used in communication with children, creating a highly spiritual atmosphere that would stimulate such well-known ways of practicing moral virtues as humility, forgiveness, repentance, fasting, prayer, confession, and others. Therefore, this will be facilitated not only by the external organization of the child’s life in the family (for example, a good environment, participation in charities), but also by internal self-improvement (by self-restraint, restraint from negative thoughts, unworthy actions or bad intentions). The choice of the Christian strategy of education outlines both the general orientation of a child towards spiritual and moral values, and the stable position of adults in devotion to moral ideals, humanistic traditions

Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky about the Russian translation reception of Shakespeare (article one)

The works of K.I. Chukovsky, dedicated to the great English playwright Shakespeare («Combat with Shakespeare» (1935), «Crippled Shakespeare» (1939), «Translations of Shakespeare (On the method of Shakespeare’s translation) » (1946), etc.), became an important page in literary critical reception of Shakespeare in Russia. K.I. Chukovsky related the reason for the change in the ideological concept of Shakespeare’s works by Russian translators not only with public perceptions in Russia, but also with the quality of French and German adaptations of the works of the English playwright that came into Russian literature. From the analysis of various works of Shakespeare K.I. Chukovsky used examples to prove the degree of distortion of the meaning of the work due to literal adherence to the ideas about the maximum correspondence between the external organization of the translation and the original. This article aims to analyze the reception of the Russian translation of Shakespeare from the gaze of K.I. Chukovsky.

Analiza możliwości wdrożenia szpitalnej oceny technologii medycznych (HB-HTA) na podstawie modelu z koordynującą rolą niezależnej organizacji zewnętrznej

Implementation of Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) with the coordinating role of independent external organization Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) aims to support local decision-making on investing in new health technologies limited to the hospital level. The goal of this study was to prepare and present the strategic functional model of HB-HTA in Poland with coordinating role of an organization labelled as the independent external organization (NOZ). The stakeholders of the HB-HTA process were identified, together with their interests and relations among them, as well as the goals and consequences of health policy in area of implementation of HB-HTA in Poland. The conduct of HB-HTA process was presented, the tasks foreseen for NOZ, its possible organizational forms, barriers, and possibilities of development; as well as the overall capacity of this organization in area of HB-HTA. It is foreseen that the development of HB-HTA in Poland based on NOZ should take place within a positively inclined environment, having a generally positive impact on the health care system, positive prognoses, and opportunities for implementation of HB-HTAh.

An experimental study measuring human annotator categorization agreement on commonsense sentences

Developing agents capable of commonsense reasoning is an important goal in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. Because commonsense is broadly defined, a computational theory that can formally categorize the various kinds of commonsense knowledge is critical for enabling fundamental research in this area. In a recent book, Gordon and Hobbs described such a categorization, argued to be reasonably complete. However, the theory’s reliability has not been independently evaluated through human annotator judgments. This paper describes such an experimental study, whereby annotations were elicited across a subset of eight foundational categories proposed in the original Gordon-Hobbs theory. We avoid bias by eliciting annotations on 200 sentences from a commonsense benchmark dataset independently developed by an external organization. The results show that, while humans agree on relatively concrete categories like time and space, they disagree on more abstract concepts. The implications of these findings are briefly discussed.

Predicted Student Study Period with C4.5 Data Mining Algorithm

Data of alumni from 2012 to 2015 found that the average percentage of students graduating on time was 22%. The comparison between the number of students who graduate on time and new students who enter each year is not comparable, therefore a study is needed to find out the factors that affect student graduation and to prediction of the graduation period of the student through data mining research using the C4.5 algorithm. The data tested was student alumni data from 2012 to 2015. The instruments studied include study period, academic year, GPA, corner focus, gender, intensity of work during college, type of thesis, intensity of campus internal organization, intensity of external organization of campus, UKT group, scholarship status, pre-college education, hobby intensity, intensity of game play, academic competition participation status, non-academic competition participation status, and availability of facilities and infrastructure. The best test results using percentage-split 75% obtained 83.33% accuracy as well as the rules contained in the decision tree.

Employee Volunteerism—Conceptual Study and the Current Situation

The purpose of the study is to analyze employee volunteerism. This issue had not been studied on a broader international level earlier. This research firstly discovers altruism and volunteerism values in the economy. Then, based on the third-party model, observes each part, where participants are the (1) volunteer (employee) (2) company (and its CSR activity) and (3) an external organization, which manages this type of formal volunteerism. Each participant was analyzed through comprehensive analysis using descriptive and inference statistics and classification methods on complex, extensive secondary databases. Altogether, more than 10,000 respondents’ answers are examined from two worldwide surveys, and further ten international statistical indicators and indices are explored. These methods result in volunteer characteristics on a personal level, afterwards in country classification, which provides a cultural comparison of the employee volunteerism. Our findings prove that demographical differences do not, but company-level actions influence the intensity of formal volunteerism. Moreover, three main clusters (formed from 43 countries) show different values. This diversity might partly be caused by measurement fragmentations and lack of internationally accepted definitions and theories. This paper aims to provide a broader overview of the topic, which might be a useful starting point for the forthcoming aggregated conceptualization. Employee volunteers’ behavior arises from the personal value of volunteerism. However, the attendance and intensity of voluntary activity are primarily influenced by the environment (e.g., life period, living and working situation). Employee volunteerism programs are an important and essential part of CSR at the company level, and strongly frames this activity, where employee volunteerism could associate each participant’s interests and improve their values. However, the practices may differ in each country and in each sector. The current pandemic rewrote the traditional volunteerism model and our projection. The last chapter provides a preliminary study about how employee volunteerism could work in this extraordinary, COVID-19 situation.

Situated Counting

We present a model of how counting is learned based on the ability to perform a series of specific steps. The steps require conceptual knowledge of three components: numerosity as a property of collections; numerals; and one-to-one mappings between numerals and collections. We argue that establishing one-to-one mappings is the central feature of counting. In the literature, the so-called cardinality principle has been in focus when studying the development of counting. We submit that identifying the procedural ability to count with the cardinality principle is not sufficient, but only one of the several steps in the counting process. Moreover, we suggest that some of these steps may be facilitated by the external organization of the counting situation. Using the methods of situated cognition, we analyze how the balance between external and internal representations will imply different loads on the working memory and attention of the counting individual. This analysis will show that even if the counter can competently use the cardinality principle, counting will vary in difficulty depending on the physical properties of the elements of collection and on their special arrangement. The upshot is that situated factors will influence counting performance.

Narrativas Urbanas: Acesso à moradia, organização familiar e a (re)produção do espaço urbano

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta resultados das imersões etnográficas realizadas em 2017 e 2018, em um bairro promovido pelo Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, em São Carlos/SP. Parto da perspectiva de Agier do "fazer-cidade", compreendendo que a cidade é feita de movimentos, de relações práticas e de narrativas. Neste sentido, a (re)produção do espaço urbano é permeada de disputas, contradições e apropriações, sendo um produto histórico, social e imediato. Abordo a (re)produção do espaço urbano por meio das "famílias populares urbanas" e sua potencialidade enquanto instância ordenadora simbólica do mundo cotidiano, e suas formas de organização interna/externa. Selecionei duas famílias beneficiárias para explorar o "fazer-cidade", levando em consideração especialmente a trajetória de moradia, trabalho e lazer. Algumas considerações podem ser tecidas: os arranjos familiares têm potencial de ressignificação do espaço urbano, tanto concreto, quanto simbólico; os deslocamentos em busca de trabalho e moradia são centrais neste processo de "fazer-cidade", dialogando com as formas de expansão e produção do urbano.Palavras-chave: Produção do Espaço Urbano. Famílias Populares Urbanas. Moradia Popular. Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida. Narrativas Urbanas URBAN NARRATIVES:ACCESS TO HOUSING, FAMILIAR ORGANIZATION AND THE (RE)PRODUCTION OF THE URBAN SPACEAbstract: This work presents results of the ethnographic immersions carried out in 2017 and 2018 in a neighborhood promoted by the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program, in São Carlos/SP. Starting from Agier's perspective of "making-city" (“fazer-cidade”), understanding that the city is made up of movements, practical relations and narratives. In this sense, the (re)production of the urban space is permeated with disputes and contradictions, appropriations, being a historical, social and immediate product. I approach the (re)production of urban space through the "urban popular families" and their potential as a symbolic organizing instance of the everyday world, their forms of internal/external organization. It was selected two beneficiary families to explore the "makeing-city", especially taking into account the trajectory of housing, work and leisure. Some considerations can be pointed: family arrangements have the potential to redefine urban space, both concrete and symbolic; displacements in search of work and housing are central to this "making-city" process, dialoguing with the forms of expansion and urban production.Keywords: Urban Space Production.
