Business model innovation elements and product innovation radicalness: Central European lessons for innovation leaders and followers
Authors: Prokop Viktor , Zapletal David , Stejskal Jan , Giglio Carlo , Appolloni Andrea
Published: July 2024

Research background: Despite the increased interest in business model innovation (BMI) in the last 20 years, the current research landscape still lacks empirical efforts aimed at investigating the underexplored link between BMI and innovation performance. This is doubly true in specific contexts like Central European countries, whereas innovation systems are weaker than in Western ones, and firms strongly depend on internal R&D activities and absorptive capacity and technology upgrades via cooperation with other countries.
Purpose of the article: This study draws on the BMI theory with the aim of analyzing the effects of each individual BMI element on firms’ performance in terms of creation of radical innovations vs incremental ones.
Methods: The data used are from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2018 — the latest micro data available to date — focusing on 16,364 firms in Central Europe, namely 5,749 Czech, 7,377 Hungarian, and 3,238 Slovakian firms. As the explained (dependent) variables are dichotomous (binary: 1 indicates the answer is yes, 0 indicates the answer is no) for all estimated models, a binary logistic regression is used in order to focus on the individual elements representing BMI and analyse their separated effects on firms’ creation of radical and incremental innovations in Central Europe. Individual BMI elements are: BMI methods, logistics, communication, accounting, external relations, human resource management, and marketing. Moreover, we check for control variables such as tax credits and allowances of R&D, public funding of innovation, cooperation with other organizations on R&D or other activities, in-house R&D activities and contracted out ones, lack of finance, lack of skilled employees and internal financial resources, and size.
Findings & value added: For radical innovators, practices for organising procedures and external relations are important. For incremental innovators, methods of organising work responsibility, decision making, and human resource management are significant. Surprisingly, regardless of the innovation radicality, several BMI elements are significant. This study suggests that managers should enhance strategic collaborations with external partners out of Central Europe, exploit their absorptive capacity, and increase the knowledge and experience of their employees, whilst policymakers should keep on providing tax credits and allowances for innovation activities, maintaining a supportive infrastructure and reducing administrative burdens.

The relationship between exchange rate (EXR) and foreign trade (FT) in Nigeria has been a contentious issue since Nigeria’s independence in 1960. This study investigated the link between exchange rate and foreign trade through the prism of exchange rate pass-through (EXRPT) to domestic prices, utilizing monthly data from 2011 to 2022. The study was built on two models—the base and main models respectively. Employing the VAR technique and its Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) extension, the paper found that EXRPT to consumer prices is incomplete in the short run but its effect was found to be higher on imports than on consumer prices. It follows that the impact of EXRPT diminishes along the price chain. Results from the main model indicate that the impact of domestic prices on balance of trade was found to be negative with elasticity of −0.437541and is also statistically significant, thus, confirming the Marshal-Lenner condition. The Marshal-Lenner condition and findings of this study provide evidence that depreciating exchange rate is not recommended for an import inelastic country like Nigeria.
The nexus between the shadow economy and financial development in Uganda
Authors: Esaku Stephen , Mugoda Salmon
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the nexus between the shadow economy and financial development in Uganda making use of yearly time series data over the period 1991 to 2017 and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method is applied. Findings are quite telling. We find that financial development reduces the shadow economy in a significant manner, in both the long- and short-run. This finding is robust to the use of alternative measures of financial development. Our results have far reaching implications. Firstly, findings indicate that financial structure plays a key role in mitigating the increase of the shadow economy given that the financial sector can provide access to credit that eases financial constraints faced by entrepreneurs. Thus, a well-functioning financial sector could facilitate access to credit by entrepreneurs which reduces their motivation to operate underground. These findings seem to suggest that reforming financial institutions to facilitate improved access to domestic credit could help tackle widespread informality in developing economies. Additionally, minimizing informality also requires reforming the political system, institutional framework and macroeconomic environment to become responsive to the needs of businesses.

A pesar de que durante su vida y parte del presente las obras de la pintora sueca Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) han pasado desapercibidas, en las últimas décadas su figura ha experimentado un resurgimiento, siendo objeto de exposiciones y estudios que la reconocen como pionera del arte abstracto. Se tratará su figura en aras de esclarecer por qué, a pesar de haber creado obras abstractas con anterioridad a 1910, no es la artista sueca la encargada de portar el título como pionera de la abstracción, recayendo este mérito en el pintor ruso Vasili Kandinsky (1866-1944). Su obra pictórica se gestó en las postrimerías del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Af Klint fue una artista que desafió las convenciones de su época fusionando el arte con la espiritualidad, por ello se analizará la importancia del esoterismo en su obra, así como la importancia de este en manifestaciones coetáneas y anteriores. Será de especial interés su relación y pertenencia al grupo espiritista de Las Cinco (De Fem). Durante su pertenencia a dicho grupo se le encargó la tarea de llevar a cabo su serie pictórica más conocida, las Pinturas para el Templo, colección que comprende más de 190 obras creadas a partir de 1906.

Published: July 2024

La investigación musicológica ha soslayado la figura de Juan Cansino Antolínez (1826 ca. - 1897) al ser eclipsada por su coetáneo Eduardo Ocón y Rivas (1833-1901), fundador del conservatorio de Málaga y de su Sociedad Filarmónica. Recientes aportaciones ajenas al ámbito científico, sin embargo, han puesto de manifiesto la importancia de su perfil profesional como compositor de obras tanto sacras como profanas, además de su faceta pedagógica y su intermitente –pero dilatada en el tiempo–, vinculación con la catedral de Málaga como organista. El presente artículo pretende acercar este autor a la comunidad científica estableciendo una primera aproximación biográfica del autor, analizando algunos de los hitos de su carrera profesional y artística, ofreciendo una aproximación a su actividad en el ámbito de las corporaciones penitenciales de Málaga y describiendo el ambiente que rodeó al estreno de su Stabat Mater de 1854, recientemente grabado por la Orquesta Filarmónica de Málaga. Para ello, se ofrece una serie de referencias documentales inéditas del archivo de la catedral de Málaga y de la prensa local de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX que revelan a Juan Cansino como un compositor determinante a la hora de completar el panorama musical de la ciudad.
Geniusz rozkładu. Nikołaj Bierdiajew wobec sztuki Pabla Picassa
Authors: Malej Izabella
Published: July 2024

Picasso occupied a very special place within Nicolai Berdyaev’s philosophical considerations. What motivated him to assess avant-garde art was an exhibition at the art gallery owned by Sergey Shchukin in 1914. The Russian thinker became personally acquainted with the exhibition. In his attitude towards Picasso’s art, Berdyaev shows the universal category of assessment which he had applied earlier to random artistic phenomena. The philosopher gives avant-garde art the status of the verifier of spiritual changes, at the same time pointing to the evolution of people’s attitude towards both the surrounding reality and themselves. By paying so much attention to the works of the Spanish artist, Berdyaev formulates a thesis concerning the spiritual crisis of the culture occurring in statu nascendi. That is to say that he perceives avant-garde art as, on the one hand, the foreshadowing of inevitable socio-political changes and, on the other hand, a graphic equivalent of the spiritual changes which are about to happen. In the role of category which should present the direction of assessing not only Picasso’s works, but also, in a broader sense, the historical and cultural changes, Berdyaev uses the terms of crisis, freedom, beauty, humanism and spirituality. The Russian philosopher considers Picasso a helpless exposer of illusions of materialized and synthesized beauty, whose paintings are the proof of the crisis occurring in art, self-awareness and, in a broader sense, also within humanity.

Published: July 2024

The article reveals the peculiarities of women's ideas about family and children in deviant motherhood. The unique is the study of ideas about family, children and motherhood among women who have children and are serving sentences in a penitentiary institution. The main research method was content analysis of associations to the words “family”, “child”, “mother”. The author identifies categories of association words that reveal specifics of respondents’ ideas about family. The article describes the categories and reveals the peculiarities of the perception of motherhood and family. The composition of the family is represented by the closest relatives: children, parents, spouses. The respondents' mental states are sthenic, personality-driven, humanitarian, and emotional. The main emotions and experiences of respondents are positive. Negative experiences are associated mainly with the feelings of guilt and distant motherhood, as well as the experience of destructive relationships in their own family. The range of negative experiences is greater than the positive ones. The article shows the respondents' perception of a mother with positive characteristics such as tenderness, kindness, and confidence. “Mom” shows care and responsibility. The interaction between mother and child is emotional; the range of specific actions in relation to the child is small. The focus (in ideal terms) on constructive, favorable family relationships has been revealed. At the same time, the practical orientation towards creating and maintaining such relationships is weakly expressed. The activity component of motherhood is impoverished. The child is infantilized by their mothers. A mother's responsibility to her child is a necessary characteristic for her. Psychological and pedagogical support for such mothers, as well we increasing their pedagogical competence, are seen crucial to solve the difficulties of deviant motherhood.

Aim. To conduct a study of the range of combined neurotropic vitamins B in the pharmaceutical market, to analyze their availability and affordability for patients with neurological diseases.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted using data from the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine, ATC classification, and information on statistical retail prices from the online service www.tabletki.ua. Such research methods as systematization, generalization, comparative, marketing, content analysis, pharmacoeconomic analysis by the “cost of illness” method were used.
Results. The pharmaceutical market of vitamin A11DB group Vitamin B1 in combination with vitamin B6 and/or B12 registered in Ukraine as 43 trade names (TN) of medicines has been analyzed taking into account all dosage forms; among them, 53.5 % are medicines of domestic manufacturers. Among dosage forms, the vast majority are solutions for injection (65.1 %). Only 56 % of the registered medicines are accessible, i.e. available for sale in regional pharmacies, with an equal proportion of domestic and foreign manufacturers. In 63 % of the drugs studied, the price liquidity ratio indicator shows fluctuations from 0.51 to 1.0, which indicates a significant range of drug prices, a relatively low level of competition in the market, and negatively characterizes the availability of these drugs for the population. It has been found that for injectable dosage forms of the drugs studied, the coefficient of adequacy of solvency ranges from 1.41 % to 3.30 %, and for oral medicines – from 0.67 % to 6.20 %, i.e., the cost of purchasing one package of a complex vitamin B medicine does not exceed 6.20 % of the average monthly salary on the example of the Odesa region, which is not included in the List of territories where military operations are (were) conducted or temporarily occupied. A pharmacoeconomic analysis has been conducted using the “cost of illness” method; and the drugs of choice have been selected taking into account the information on their equivalence provided by the manufacturer. According to the results of this analysis, it has been found that the cost of treating polyneuropathy with complex vitamin B medicines produced in Ukraine is 1.4-6 times more affordable than in the case of imported analogues.
Conclusions. The results presented indicate the need to introduce additional mechanisms for compensating the cost of vitamin B medicines in order to increase the level of socio-economic affordability of pharmaceutical care provided in pharmacies. In addition, they can be used in the formation of the range of medicines to ensure the availability of medicines of choice, taking into account the most affordable cost of the treatment course.

Materials and methods. The expert survey (online questionnaire) included the preparation of a special questionnaire, targeted selection of experts based on their competence in the field of HTA. Three groups of respondents took part in the survey, including 13 HTA developers, 32 users, and 31 informed persons to ensure the representativeness of the survey results. The following methods were used to process and interpret the results: scientific generalization, mathematical and statistical, analytical, and graphical.
Results of the study. Based on the results of the expert survey, the role and place of the HTA in the health care system was determined. Experts see the main purpose of the HTA as preparing the necessary information of the relevant level of evidence for decision-making on the selection of optimal MTs (in particular, for budget procurement, inclusion in regulatory lists for price regulation and reimbursement).
The respondents' opinions on the participation of different socio-professional groups in the implementation of the HTA and the use of its results were studied. Thus, according to the results of the survey, HTA experts and scientists can carry out the assessment, and in some cases (mini-HTA, hospital HTA for the formation of local formularies and protocols) – specialists of medical institutions. According to the respondents, it is advisable to expand the use of HTA results for decision-making at the national, regional and local levels.
According to the survey, the priority areas for the development of HTA are the creation of a professional environment, adequate logistical and informational support, improvement of legislation, creation of an optimal institutional structure, harmonization of HTA methodology and development of international cooperation.
Conclusions. The expert survey allowed us to determine the most likely scenario for the further development of HTA in Ukraine. According to the majority of respondents, the main efforts are currently focused on capacity building, formation of a professional environment, active use of evidence, and infrastructure development.

Published: July 2024

The world-class deposits of the Kalahari Manganese Field (KMF) in South Africa constitute a key resource of manganese (Mn) ore for the global steel industry. Many aspects of the origin of high metal-grade ores in the northernmost KMF remain unresolved, especially with respect to the complex hydrothermal history of these ores and the source/s of fluids responsible for epigenetic metal enrichment. In this study, the geochemistry of boron (B) is employed as a potential proxy for such processes, and the results are contextualised against an assumed low metal-grade precursor. Samples collected from the northern part of the Kalahari Manganese Deposit allow for the distinction of three Mn ore types, of which the precursor ore is the closest candidate, petrographically and geochemically, to primary/diagenetic Mn deposition. This precursor ore is dominated by Mn-carbonate and braunite, and records B concentrations in the order of a few 100s to 1 000s ppm and positive δ11B values at an average of 11 ± 6‰. Ferruginous Mn ores appear to have formed from decarbonation of precursor ore and metasomatic ferric iron addition, particularly in the stratigraphically upper Mn ore bed, which is closest to the overlying Olifantshoek and Kalahari unconformities. Ferruginous Mn ores appear depleted in B (ca. 500 ppm on average) and have lower boron isotope values (δ11B: 0 ± 3‰). Hydrothermally Mn-enriched ores, in contrast, are dominated by hausmannite, braunite-II and bixbyite and record highest B concentrations (up to 10 000s ppm) and δ11B values as high as 41‰, pointing to metasomatic introduction of B by circulating evaporitic brines. While further research is needed to comprehensively unravel the geochemical intricacies of B within the complex interplay of fluids and rocks in the Hotazel region, the findings of this study still strongly suggest that B holds promise as a tracer for alteration processes in the KMF.

The aim of this study was to compare the vocabulary of boys with behavioral disorders (N = 34; age range: 10-13 years) and boys from the general population (N = 34; age range: 10-13 years), as well as examine the relationship between vocabulary and aggressive behavior and problems in their relationships with peers. Parents and caregivers assessed the child’s aggressive behavior and problems in relationships with peers, while data on the child’s vocabulary, cognitive abilities, and executive functions (working memory) were collected using a standardized intelligence test. By comparing the two groups, boys with behavioral disorders had a significantly poorer vocabulary than boys of the same age in the general population, and this difference could not be explained by the child’s cognitive abilities, or executive functions. In addition, poor vocabulary was significantly associated with peer relationship problems, as well as reactive, but not proactive, aggressive behavior. The findings have particular implications in the areas of early intervention for high-risk boys, as well as communication with children in the social welfare and justice systems.

Published: July 2024

Background. The H2S/homocysteine ratio is a potential biomarker for predicting the progression of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose. To establish the features of changes in the H2S/homocysteine ratio in children with arterial hypertension. Material and methods. A total of 111 children aged 14 to 18 years were examined. Based on the results of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (n=81), two groups were formed: group 1 (n=51) – children with arterial hypertension (AH), group 2 (n=30) – children with high-normal blood pressure (HNBP). Group 3 included 30 healthy children. Plasma homocysteine level was determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography [Naumov A.V. et al., 2010]. The level of endogenous hydrogen sulfide was assessed by spectrophotometric method based on the reaction between sulfide anion and an acidic solution of the reagent N, N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride [Norris Eric J., 2011]. Results. A significant increase in plasma homocysteine concentration was revealed in patients with AH and HNBP compared with healthy children. The plasma levels of hydrogen sulfide in children with AH were significantly lower than in the comparison group. Hypertensive children in comparison to healthy children showed significantly lower plasma H2S/homocysteine ratio. Correlations have been established between the H2S/homocysteine ratio and plasma levels of homocysteine and hydrogen sulfide. Conclusions. Hypertensive children have a lower H2S/homocysteine ratio, which is due to the presence of hyperhomocysteinemia and reduced H2S levels. The H2S/homocysteine ratio can be used as a potential marker for predicting the progression of AH.

Пандемия выявила необходимость цифровой трансформации бизнеса и акцентировала внимание компаний на онлайн-продажах, персо- нализации коммуникации с клиентами, улучшении пользовательского опыта и использовании данных для принятия решений. Омниканальный подход позволяет создать единое пространство для взаимодействия с потребителя- ми. Данный процесс рассмотрен как стратегический переход к новой парадиг- ме повышения эффективности гостиничного бизнеса и его моделирования. Омниканальный маркетинг в индустрии гостеприимства имеет ряд существенных преимуществ и причин, по которым компании устанавливают показатели для измерения результатов омниканального гостиничного марке- тинга и определения того, какие стратегии лучше всего работают для привле- чения, удержания и удовлетворения гостей. В нашей модели представлены три типа взаимодействия с клиентами в гостинично-туристической сфере: реклама, презентации и мониторинг рынка, которые условно связаны со значительными статьями расходов гостинично- го бизнеса. Мониторинг рыночных предпочтений потребителей гостиничной сети и бизнес подразделений зависит от положения фирмы в сети и затрат, которые принесут будущий доход, выраженных моделируемой функцией.
