The article identifies the fundamental problems of innovation as a factor in strengthening the economic security of an enterprise in the context of globalization and integration of the world’s economic space. The factors that have a direct impact on innovation activity both in the country and in the world have been investigated. Clustering of individual countries was carried out and Ukraine’s place among them was determined according to the Global Innovation Index. Using the software packages MS Excel and CurveExpert 5.0, a study of the index of innovative efficiency in Ukraine was carried out; dynamics of financing innovative activities in Ukraine, as well as the impact of the level of capital investment on the volume of financing innovative activities. It is proposed to assess the level of economic security of an enterprise based on indicators of its innovative development. The features of interpreting the concept of “innovative activity of enterprises” have been investigated. The sequence and interconnection of such categories as innovative potential, innovative activity, and innovative activity are analyzed. The structure of the process of innovation activity has been investigated. The rhombus of innovative activity is analyzed, which is formed from the following elements: receptivity to new things – provision of resources – communication and organization of the innovation process – a measure of competence. In the study of the specifics of the management of innovative-active enterprises, the analysis of the features and comparison of the differences between innovation activity and other types of economic activity was carried out. The structure of the process of managing innovatively active enterprises has been developed, taking into account aspects of the safety of activities. The prospect of further research identified a thorough analysis of the features of the management process of innovatively active enterprises, considering the impact of global risks and threats. The principal purpose of the article is to study the essence and main characteristics of innovatively active enterprises in the study's context of the security aspect.

Purpose – As a response to increasing global market competition, companies in various industries tend to identify and manage customer relationship to increase profit performance. Companies commit more resources to identify their VIP customers and retain them by all means. The purpose of this paper is to develop a customer relationship management (CRM) business process management (BPM) model to identify airline customers with different degree of relationship and profit potential, and select the highly profitable customers for developing retention strategy and processes, and convert the less profitable into profitable corporate accounts. Design/methodology/approach – This study innovatively apply the well-known techniques including CRM and relationship marketing models, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) in the BPM research. This novel approach analyzes longer term customer profit and value potential, and prioritizes corporate accounts as the basis for setting appropriate customer service levels and improving the CRM process. This hybrid model is able to capitalize on the benefits of these methods and offset their deficiencies. Most importantly, it can be customized to various industries without complex modification. Findings – This study uses data of an airline company to validate feasibility of the proposed CRM BPM model. The results indicate that this model is able to classify the customers based on various criteria and sub-criteria, thus allowing companies to introduce appropriate service levels to deal with different categories of customers, and improve CRM process so as to maximize customer profit and value potential. Practical implications – This CRM BPM model and analysis provide managers extensive customer knowledge, more analytical and fact-based decision-making support, and a stronger focus on return on investment in sales and marketing. Knowing the profit and value potential generated by individual corporate customer makes it easier to establish the link between the CRM and the profit outcome. This model also benefits the organization and its stakeholders by allocating more resources to the targeted customer relationships that are profitable or valuable, and makes marketing more accountable in its marketing programs. Originality/value – This study makes the first move to innovatively apply the well-known techniques including CRM and relationship marketing models, FAHP, and TOPSIS in the BPM research.

Introduction. In the process of introducing models of strategic management of innovation and investment potential of agricultural enterprises, it is necessary to analyze the influence of external factors and internal capabilities of the enterprise. This helps to identify the most favorable directions of innovative development of the agricultural entity. The purpose of scientific research is to develop theoretical aspects of the innovative potential for-mation of agricultural business entities in the system of their investment activity. Results. It is established that the use of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of innovative capabilities of agricultural sector subjects without defined criteria hinders the organizational and economic mechanism of choosing innovative investment models and strategies. It has been determined that the dy-namics of investment provision is a basic parameter of reproduction processes. The tasks of investments are highlighted, the fulfillment of which is provided by the reproductive function. The lack of innovative potential of the majority of domestic agricultural enterprises is revealed. It is established that the innova-tive potential of the enterprise characterizes its investment attractiveness. The expediency of considering innovative potential in the system of other types of enterprise potentials is substantiated. It is determined that the research of innovative potential should take into account possible investment cycles in the enter-prise activity. The main factors of investment potential development of economic entities are given. The investment environment is characterized as the volume and structure of mobilized and used potential or real investment funds from internal and external sources of formation. The main task of investment poten-tial accumulation in enterprises is determined. The criteria are characterized, on which the formation of investment potential will depend. The conditions are identified that contribute to the growth of innovation potential. The features of investments implementation into innovations are characterized. The main tasks of monitoring of innovative potential are defined. The state of the organizational component of investment potential at modern domestic agricultural enterprises has been analyzed. Conclusions. The innovative potential development of domestic enterprises of the agricultural sec-tor is the key to their successful activity. Managing the investment potential formation is a key task for the strategic development of agricultural entities. Keywords: economic potential, innovation potential, investment, agricultural enterprise, invest-ment attractiveness, investment cycle.

Full textAbstract:
The economic performance of a country, in the era of a globalized economy and its value chains, is strongly affected by foreign investments. The regulation of this cross-border capital flow through international instruments negotiated and celebrated to facilitate, boost and protect foreign investments demonstrates the potential of these instruments in shaping a responsible and diligent insertion of foreign investments in the host country. In Brazil, the investment agreements have been, in the recent years, negotiated through the so-called Cooperation and Facilitation Investment Agreements (CFIAs). So why not use this important mechanism to build a more efficient system? It urges that International Investment Law is brought into this debate, leading the way to incorporating socially responsible corporate conducts into the productive economic process by both States and investing economic agents. This study seeks, therefore, to evaluate Responsible Business Conduct in its interrelation with investment mechanisms that can, at once, attract and facilitate investment and also promote economic and social development.
Key words: foreign investment; CFIAs; responsible business conduct; economic and social development.

Greening the economy requires green innovations, and innovations require investments. Most countries of the world are still relying on conventional (fossil-based) sources of energy. The transition toward green or renewable energy sources is an effective and innovative way to meet ever-increasing demand as a result of the rising population. Another reason for innovations in the field of green energy is the need to mitigate climate change and avoid pollution, especially in developing countries. The monitored investments into renewable energy sources are usually public. Therefore, this paper aims to determine whether the selected countries of the world produced renewable energy efficiently, considering the investments made by public financial institutions and installed electricity capacity for renewable energy sources, for the period 2013–2017 (for a deeper analysis, the year 2017 was chosen). For this purpose, the Stochastic Frontier Analysis model in the logarithmic form of the Cobb-Douglas production function is used, which helps to judge the competitiveness of countries based on effectively transforming the inputs into outputs. Results suggest that the effect of the first variable “installed electricity capacity” on electricity generation was highly statistically significant, and the impact of the second variable “public investments” was characterized as statistically insignificant. The monitored countries were divided into 10 groups according to the different range of estimated output-oriented technical efficiency from 0.00 to 1.00. Most countries should increase the renewable electricity generation approximately by 40-49%, given the level of inputs (16 countries of 6th group with estimated output-oriented technical efficiency 0.51-0.60) for the year 2017.

The article deals with the implementation of investment projects in the forestry complex of Russia. The classification groups of investment projects and indicators of investment activity in the industry segments of the forestry complex are presented. Despite the fact that significant growth rates of investments in the branches of the forestry complex have developed in recent years, there is a significant unrealized development potential, and they continue to remain low investment attractiveness for business. When implementing investment projects in forestry, the state often acts as the initiator of projects; investment projects in the timber industry complex are mainly implemented both by private business and with the support of the state. Investment projects in the forestry complex include state investment projects in the form of investments in forest infrastructure and in updating the technical base of forestry; public-private partnership in the form of priority investment projects, special investment contracts and regional investment projects; private business investment projects implemented in the form of capital investments, innovative investments and an increase in current assets. It has been determined that when implementing forest climate projects, the most effective mechanism for attracting investment is public-private partnership.

The turn towards a ‘Social Investment’ approach to welfare implies deploying resources to enhance human capital and mobilise the productive potential of citizens, starting in early childhood. Many influential academic and policy advocates present it as a new paradigm for the 21st Century. The book is structured in three parts around the social investment themes of: interventions in early life, labour market activation, and social solidarity. Empirical chapters offer original evidence from ten European countries: Italy, UK, Sweden, Finland,Greece, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Spain. Each of these chapters uncovers regional and local realities of social investment policies and services. Editorial chapters overview the conceptual landscape and synthesise key advances in thinking about the social investment 'paradigm', informed by original insight into what implementation of its principles can look like at street level.

Full textAbstract:
In a slowing global economy with diminished confidence in the long-term prospects of public financial markets, many institutional investors are looking for innovative, and often private, investment strategies to meet expected return targets. One source of potential inspiration has, perhaps surprisingly, come from the community of sovereign development funds. SDFs are strategic, government-sponsored investment organizations with dual objective functions: to deliver high financial performance, while fostering development. Despite expectations that this dual function inevitably leads to financial underperformance, certain SDFs have actually delivered consistently high investment returns, especially in private markets. As such, SDF strategies are increasingly being used as models for investment strategies among non-developmental investment organizations. This chapter explores the rise of SDFs, explains the differences between SDFs and SWFs, and substantiates variations in their models of governance and management. In doing so, its goal is to situate SDFs in the changing world of global financial markets and public policy.

Full textAbstract:
International law guides globalization and the future of the world economy, affecting all people and our planet. Rules governing trade and investment could continue to be represented only by Hermes, the Greek god of thieves and commerce, or also draw inspiration from Athena, representing justice, wisdom and craftsmanship. This volume explores how economic treaties could be better crafted to foster—rather than frustrate—sustainable development. It explains how leading actors identify potential social and environmental impacts of shifting capital, goods and services, and pilot new economic instruments to enhance sustainability. Based on a review of World Trade Organisation (WTO) debates and over 110 other economic accords, the volume highlights innovative measures adopted by States from a selection of regional and bilateral trade and investment accords, exploring their implications for a new generation of economic agreements, including the United Kingdom’s next steps and the proposed Agreement on Climate Change, Trade and Sustainability (ACCTS). The author, an award-winning expert jurist and renowned professor of international law, examines how sustainability and justice commitments can be operationalized in treaty texts themselves, steering vital trade, investment and finance towards the world’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Adopting a ground-breaking, inter-actional and systematic approach, with examples spanning several decades of experimentation and experience, she proposes carefully crafting of legal principles and rules to contribute to sustainability. By integrating social, environmental and economic priorities, she argues, States and stakeholders can weave new rules for our common future, towards a more inclusive, greener global economy.

Full textAbstract:
Little attention has been devoted to the impact of corporate governance practices on firms’ innovative performance. This chapter reviews the literature to show that there is theoretical ambiguity. There is the argument that corporate governance and new forms of finance realign managers’ interests, with greater efficiency for all types of investments. However, some argue that innovative R&D has distinctive characteristics, like high risk and long-term horizon, that may modify the efficiency effect. The issue has generated many studies where the long tradition of positive relationships between governance and efficiency is now contrasted by some recent empirical evidence suggesting a negative relationship. The chapter argues that shareholder primacy or owner activism in corporate governance and new forms of finance represent a potential mismatch with innovation.

Full textAbstract:
Latin America and the Caribbean, unlike other regions, is still quite young demographically: people over age 60 make up around 11% of the total population. However, the region is expected to experience the fastest rate of population aging in the world over the coming decades. This projected growth of the elderly population raises challenges related to pensions, health, and long-term care. At the same time, it opens up numerous business opportunities in different sectorshousing, tourism, care, and transportation, for examplethat could generate millions of new jobs. These opportunities are termed the “silver economy,” which has the potential to be one of the drivers of post-pandemic economic recovery. Importantly, women play key roles in many areas of this market, as noted in the first report published by the IDB on this subject (Okumura et al., 2020). This report maps the actors whose products or services are intended for older people and examines silver economy trends in the region by sector: health, long-term care, finance, housing, transportation, job market, education, entertainment, and digitization. The mapping identified 245 actors whose products or services are intended for older people, and it yielded three main findings. The first is that the majority of the actors (40%) operate in the health and care sectors. The prevalence of these sectors could be due to the fact that they are made up of many small players, and it could also suggest a still limited role of older people in active consumption, investment, and the job market in the region. The second finding is that 90% of the silver economy actors identified by the study operate exclusively in their countries of origin, and that Mexico has the most actors (47), followed by the Southern Cone countriesBrazil, Chile, and Argentinawhich have the regions highest rates of population aging. The third finding is that private investment dominates the silver economy ecosystem, as nearly 3 out of every 4 actors offering services to the elderly population are for-profit enterprises. The sectors and markets of the silver economy differ in size and degree of maturity. For example, the long-term care sector, which includes residential care settings, is the oldest and has the largest number of actors, while sectors like digital, home automation, and cohousing are still emerging. Across all sectors, however, there are innovative initiatives that hold great potential for growth. This report examines the main development trends of the silver economy in the region and presents examples of initiatives that are already underway. The health sector has a wealth of initiatives designed to make managing chronic diseases easier and to prevent and reduce the impact of functional limitations through practices that encourage active aging. In the area of long term careone of the most powerful drivers of job creationinitiatives to train human resources and offer home care services are flourishing. The financial sector is beginning to meet a wide range of demands from older people by offering unique services such as remittances or property management, in addition to more traditional pensions, savings, and investment services. The housing sector is adapting rapidly to the changes resulting from population aging. This shift can be seen, for example, in developments in the area of cohousing or collaborative housing, and in the rise of smart homes, which are emerging as potential solutions. In the area of transportation, specific solutions are being developed to meet the unique mobility needs of older people, whose economic and social participation is on the rise. The job market offers older people opportunities to continue contributing to society, either by sharing their experience or by earning income. The education sector is developing solutions that promote active aging and the ongoing participation of older people in the regions economic and social life. Entertainment services for older people are expanding, with the emergence of multiple online services. Lastly, digitization is a cross-cutting and fundamental challenge for the silver economy, and various initiatives in the region that directly address this issue were identified. Additionally, in several sectors we identified actors with a clear focus on gender, and these primarily provide support to women. Of a total of 245 actors identified by the mapping exercise, we take a closer look at 11 different stories of the development of the silver economy in the region. The featured organizations are RAFAM Internacional (Argentina), TeleDx (Chile), Bonanza Asistencia (Costa Rica), NudaProp (Uruguay), Contraticos (Costa Rica), Maturi (Brazil), Someone Somewhere (Mexico), CONAPE (Dominican Republic), Fundación Saldarriaga Concha (Colombia), Plan Ibirapitá (Uruguay), and Canitas (Mexico). These organizations were chosen based on criteria such as how innovative their business models are, the current size and growth potential of their initiatives, and their impact on society. This study is a first step towards mapping the silver economy in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the hope is to broaden the scope of this mapping exercise through future research and through the creation of a community of actors to promote the regional integration of initiatives in this field.

The Shit Flow Diagram (SFD) graphic is an advocacy tool that aims to assist technical and non-technical stakeholders to implement plans and programs related to urban sanitation. The SFD methodology is increasingly being used to analyze the extent of safely managed sanitation in urban areas, providing a valuable picture of the prevailing sanitation conditions, from containment to disposal. As such, it is a widely recognized advocacy and decision support tool that aims to understand, communicate, and visualize how wastewater and fecal sludge move within a city or town. As stated on the SuSanA website, the SFD methodology offers “a new and innovative way to engage sanitation experts, political leaders, and civil society in coordinated discussions about excreta management in their city”.

The Shit Flow Diagram (SFD) graphic is an advocacy tool that aims to assist technical and non-technical stakeholders to implement plans and programs related to urban sanitation. The SFD methodology is increasingly being used to analyze the extent of safely managed sanitation in urban areas, providing users and stakeholders with a valuable picture of the prevailing sanitation condition, from containment to disposal. As such, it is a widely recognized advocacy and decision support tool that aims to understand, communicate, and visualize how wastewater and fecal sludge move within a city or town. As stated on the SuSanA website, the SFD methodology offers “a new and innovative way to engage sanitation experts, political leaders, and civil society in coordinated discussions about excreta management in their city.” The production and publication of an SFD report for Alajuela (Costa Rica) would help to visualize the current sanitation situation in the city, resulting in a potential to shift current activities and efforts towards more efficient investments in the places of the sanitation chain that need more attention, thereby improving the urban sanitation situation and the surrounding environment of the city. The structure of this SFD report consists of an executive summary and the SFD report. The latter includes: i) general city information describing its main characteristics; ii) sanitation service outcomes, with a thorough explanation of the SFD graphic outcome and the assumptions made; iii) the service delivery context analysis, which contains information on the regulatory framework of water and sanitation at country and city levels, also describing the city plans, budget and future projects to improve the sanitation situation; and iv) a detailed description of the surveys, Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted, as well as the key stakeholders involved, field visits carried out and references used to develop this SFD report.

Abstract R&D investments have the potential to boost innovation at the local level. However, this only happens where appropriate complementary skills and conditions are available locally to support knowledge generation and absorption. Where major R&D facilities are located in regions that lack the appropriate receptive environment the local mismatch between R&D and skilled labor can persistently hinder innovation and local spillovers. How can this be avoided? Public policies have an important role to play. They should facilitate the development of connections between local teams and those active in the research facility. The presence of star researchers in large research facilities might—for example—be a key factor to facilitate collaboration with local industrial partners offering significant opportunities for technological upgrading.

AbstractIf rural adaptation is to be effective, then it cannot take the form of prescriptive actions determined by outsiders and subsequently imposed upon rural communities. Our focus in this chapter is to reflect on the effectiveness of rural adaptation in the context of food security and agriculture in Uganda and provide insight into a way forward using learning from the HyCRISTAL project rural pilot. We critically explore the boundaries of ‘adaptation’ and ‘resilience’ as policy responses to climate change in poor rural communities through the interdisciplinary use of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including innovative visual methods and action research. We identify some of the limits to building adaptive communities and explore potential solutions for enabling informed decision-making for rural adaptation that are linked to investment in sustainable development. We highlight the importance of multi-stakeholder approaches and the generation of a ‘knowledge ecosystem’ that combines physical and social science methods and data to generate context-specific information to inform decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn 2020, the UN launched the “Decade of Action” to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030. As the SDGs are interdependent, intersectional and interdisciplinary, so must be their solutions. This chapter argues that the best way to identify, develop, and scale solutions of such quality is (digital) entrepreneurship, building on the principles of open innovation, cutting-edge technologies, and social business. The COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 in particular serves as a stark reminder of the interconnected nature of the SDGs and the challenges we face in achieving them. In this article, we explore the third SDG (SDG-3), “Good health and well-being”. We show the potential for digital entrepreneurship to foster the rise of new forms of digital health care and to accelerate the digitalization of the healthcare sector. Due to both perceived and real issues of regulatory compliance, user experience, and long investment/equipment use cycles, SDG-3 has been one of the slowest to adopt innovative solutions by far. We discuss specific areas, such as blended reality or quantum computing, for emerging and future digital health applications. In this chapter, we provide: the “memoreBox” of social start-up RetroBrain R&D, a special edition of gamelab.berlin’s app “Singleton”, and D-Wave’s free access to its cloud quantum computing services. All these examples of digital entrepreneurship utilize in whole or in part a combination of open innovation, future and emerging technologies, and social business, thus supporting our rationale. The article closes with recommendations for different stakeholders of entrepreneurial ecosystems, demonstrating both the necessity and the potential of digital entrepreneurship for the SDGs and the “Decade of Action”.

Full textAbstract:
Efforts to reduce inequality and promote better learning outcomes will only be effective when they include a focus on early childhood development. Investments made early in childhood, a period when inequality gaps emerge, have the potential to provide a higher return on investment than at any other time during an individual's life. The basic skills acquired during the first five years of life are the foundation for important future skills. Whether or not a child attends formal childcare prior to schooling, the family is still the primary influence in a young person's life; a home environment lacking enrichment will lead to skills gaps that persist throughout a lifetime. This chapter makes the case that by starting early and providing support to parents and primary caregivers, there is the potential to promote social mobility and positive outcomes for children, their families, and ultimately, future generations in the aggregate.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, a comparative review of over regional trade and investment agreements (RTAs) provides analysis of how innovative mechanisms to address sustainable development issues can be interpreted in the context of a free trade agreement (FTA). The chapter explains how the measures identified through the volume’s analytical framework (typology) may assist Parties to a trade or investment agreement to deliver on a commitment to sustainable development in their treaty. The chapter then explains and analyses how States are starting to signal a commitment to sustainable development in carefully worded introductory provisions in their RTAs and investment treaties. It then moves to examine innovative operational provisions from bilateral or regional economic treaties discussed in this volume which explicitly mention sustainable development. The provisions are examined in light of their potential to respond to the three tensions identified earlier in this volume, and the corresponding rationale and opportunities for integration identified, including the potential interpretations of the mechanisms in light of the integration principle. Finally, the chapter considers examples highlighted from the survey of trade and investment liberalization impact assessments discussed earlier in this volume: sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, government procurement and investment liberalization, before exploring more advanced and innovative new measures.

Research undertaken for the volume found that changes in the way that trade and investment agreements are negotiated, as well as sustainable development-related innovations contained in the procedural rules of the trade and investment treaties, from an interactional view, have implications for the way the treaty texts integrate for sustainable development. This chapter discusses four procedural innovations which are being used by Parties to identify potential environmental and sustainability impacts, and to consider innovative measures for inclusion in their trade and investment agreements. First, it considers impact assessments of trade and investment liberalization policies and draft treaties, focusing on the origins and scope of impact assessment processes, their mandates and methodologies, their role in integrating social and environmental issues into economic trade policy and how they could be improved. Second, it considers consultations between economic, environmental and social development authorities as a mechanism to secure more integrated and coherent trade and investment policy-making. Third, the chapter discusses transparency and public participation mechanisms, in agreement negotiations and the agreements themselves. Finally, it explores innovative dispute settlement provisions.

In order to subsidize the public policy planners, identifying innovative sectorial nuclei that support the design of public policies to support innovation in companies, the chapter proposes and constructs an indicator of innovation potential with characteristics that fill an important gap, where it is possible to reach the groups of innovative companies in each sector (and their territories in which they are inserted), with a process of data collection focused on secondary sources and yet of high effectiveness and assertiveness. In this way, it is possible to make a detailed analysis of what is most directly relevant to decision makers, with the need for a low investment and the possibility of constant updating of the information. Therefore, this chapter will discuss the construction and demonstration of practical examples of the innovation potential indicator and their respective subindexes.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the rapid economic and technological transformations experienced today, all countries are faced with many social and environmental problems. With financial globalization, temporary or permanent crises in an economy affect other economies through cross-contamination and push governments to make serious budget cuts in the field of social spending. In this context, it is inevitable for governments to reconsider the way of financing social policies. The important role the finance industry plays in sustainable development and creating shared value for society has developed innovative and alternative funding approaches. In this context, social impact investments are a new concept that aims to integrate the positive social or environmental impact into the financial return of capital. One of the new techniques used in financing social impact investment is social impact bond programs. This chapter aims to provide information about social impact bonds and discuss the potential application of SIBs in Turkey.

Purpose – the purpose of the article is to assess the investment potential of YieldСos as an innovative pension vehicle and determine the risks that may arise in connection with them. Methods used: empirical analyses, comparisons, statistical analyses. Research methodology – empirical research, comparative analysis, statistical analyses. Findings – in the paper we compared the new investment vehicle YieldCos (green) and a traditional investment vehicle – energy companies (non-green). It was found that the correlation of YieldCos with the market indices is similar to nongreen companies. But YieldCos are more exposed to risks than energy companies. That may offset their attractiveness as long term investment vehicle. It is necessary to continue research for this investment vehicle during the period of global financial volatility and crash of crude oil price. Research limitations – the authors study the raise of the new investment vehicle – YieldCos, during the period from 2013 to 2018 (pre Covid-19 Era). Practical implications – YieldCos focus on investors interests, raising money in an environmental projects (namely renewable energy), and provide combination of high yield and high income growth. Aforesaid characteristics are attractive for institutional investors that are currently experiencing a lack of resources to meet their obligations. Originality/Value – new investment vehicle is becoming a part of the overall socially responsible investment universe. We have taken the first step in the comparative evaluation of traditional and innovative types of investment instruments. Showed the prospects of a new environmentally oriented tool. It is necessary to continue research of this investment vehicle during the period of global financial volatility, changing landscape of energy resources and stakeholders rising influence.

Sustainability in project management is one of the most prominent issues of the current era that must be paid attention to. In this research, the concept of sustainable project management and its importance in managing realistic projects is addressed, and it deals with the meaning of sustainability and sustainable management. This research discusses the potential benefits of implementing sustainability in sustainable project management during a lifespan. Project and management's role in construction practice, management processes, and comparison between the traditional method of construction management and the sustainable management of construction, particularly in the level of detail This research aims to identify the common challenges faced during the management of sustainable projects and their impact on project performance, such as the high costs of sustainable building materials, technical difficulties during work and communication between team members. etc., and this research focuses on some aspects of sustainable practices in the construction phase management Which includes factors such as: site selection through feasibility assessment and sustainable on-site practices, materials selection through life cycle assessment, time, cost and resource controls, quality management, machinery and transportation management, waste management, durability and stability, correct occupancy and based designs. Innovative ideas and the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a design and visualization tool in project management and the possibility of improving performance and thus building efficiency significantly to achieve maximum benefit. The research indicates that the task of constructing a sustainable building is not fully accomplished until the concept of sustainability is integrated into each step of the life cycle of the project in general and in all the practices of the implementation phase in particular, and the process is not limited to the construction of a building with sustainable materials only. The lack of investment in sustainable project management is the most important and impactful barrier. To overcome these barriers, a project management framework must be developed, and the adoption of sustainable project management approaches to the future must be promoted. Key words: Sustainability, Project Management, Sustainable Project Management, Building İnformation Modeling (BIM).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract OBJECTIVE/SCOPE Interest in Floating Offshore Wind Farm (FOWF) is regaining momentum as countries and energy producers vie for economic and innovative solutions to decarbonize products and operations with net zero targets in perspective. Typically tapping offshore wind is costlier in comparison to land based solutions, despite the flexibility it offers due to remote operations away from populated areas. Floating wind farms offer an attractive mix of flexibility and cost effectiveness by eliminating the need for large supporting structures and enabling further deep-sea installations and access to stronger winds. While floating wind turbine technology is promising, it needs further maturation along with favorable policy implementation on the part of regulators to make floating wind farms attractive to operators/investors. This paper investigates Technology, Project Management challenges and opportunities from a large, Joint Venture capital project context with net zero target perspectives. METHODS, PROCEDURES, PROCESS Conceptually, floating wind energy is generated by a cluster of floating wind turbines, as against conventional fixed-bottom turbines which account for the majority of wind installations today. Several recent technological advancements have led to innovative floating wind solutions and also driven the costs downward. However, technological challenges like mooring and anchoring systems suited for harsh environments and policy challenges still present barriers to increased investment decisions. In both cases, synergies could potentially be harnessed from existing Oil & Gas deep sea technology. This paper will attempt to address such technology and policy challenges, as well as project management perspectives in maturing floating wind technology. Further, the project development lifecycle will be analyzed from stakeholder and risk management, technology maturation, decision making, and complexity management perspectives. RESULTS, OBSERVATIONS, CONCLUSIONS While alleviating cost and flexibility challenges related to stick-built fixed-base solutions, floating technologies may have strategic potential to unlock the full potential of offshore wind and to serve as a vehicle to achieve green transition goals. This paper summarizes the potential risks and opportunities from political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal and environmental (PESTLE) points of view. Potential stakeholder influences and a decision quality matrix will be identified and documented. FOWF, PESTLE, Project Management, Complexity Management

This paper describes the challenges experienced by Academics and Instructional Designers when creating quality, innovative and accessible educational materials for the University sector in 2001 and beyond. These two roles, which play a crucial part in the development and delivery of the new educational experience, are vital to the success of the student and ultimately, the University. Are we exploiting these roles to their full potential? It is currently the trend to place the burden of the instructional design, along with the plethora of other tasks, on the academic due to the lack of investment in instructional design and teamwork. Is the demand to create fast, easy and inexpensive courses now resting predominantly on academics when their main role should be as a content expert and not instructional designer? Are we getting it right? Can we do it better?

Full textAbstract:
The United States represents the world’s largest market for pharmaceutical drugs. It is also the only advanced economy in the world that does not regulate drug prices. There is no upper threshold for the prices of medicines in the United States. List prices are instead set by manufacturers in negotiation with supply-chain intermediaries, though some federal programs have degrees of discretion in price determinations. In practice, this deregulated system means that drug prices in the United States are generally far higher than in other advanced economies, adversely affecting patient accessibility and system affordability. In this paper, we draw on the “theory of innovative enterprise” to develop a framework that provides both a critique of the existing pricing system in the United States and a foundation for developing a new model of pricing regulation to support safety and effectiveness through drug development as well as accessibility and affordability in the distribution of approved medicines to patients. We introduce a regulatory approach we term “Pricing for Medicine Innovation” (PMI), which departs dramatically from the market-equilibrium assumptions of conventional (neoclassical) economics. The PMI approach recognizes the centrality of collective investments by government agencies and business firms in the productive capabilities that underpin the drug development process. PMI specifies the conditions under which, at the firm level, drug pricing can support both sustained investment in these capabilities and improved patient access. PMI can advance both of these objectives simultaneously by regulating not just the level of corporate profit but also its allocation to reinvestment in the drug development process. PMI suggests that although price caps are likely to improve drug affordability, there remain two potential issues with this pricing approach. Firstly, in an innovation system where a company’s sales revenue is the source of its finance for further drug development, price caps may deprive a firm of the means to invest in innovation. Secondly, even with adequate profits available for investment in innovation, a firm that is run to maximize shareholder value will tend to use those profits to fund distributions to shareholders rather than for investment in drug innovation. We argue that, if implemented properly, PMI could both improve the affordability of medicines and enhance the innovative performance of pharmaceutical companies.

Full textAbstract:
This report critically examines, for the first time, the capacity of Canada’s water sector with respect to meeting and helping other countries meet the water-related targets of the UN’s global sustainable development agenda. Several components of this capacity are examined, including water education and research, investment in water projects that Canada makes internally and externally, and experiences in water technology and governance. Analysis of the water education system suggests that there is a broad capability in institutions of higher learning in Canada to offer training in the diverse subject areas important in water. In most cases, however, this has not led to the establishment of specific water study programmes. Only a few universities provide integrated water education. There is a need for a comprehensive listing of water-related educational activities in universities and colleges — a useful resource for potential students and employers. A review of recent Canadian water research directions and highlights reveals strong and diverse water research capacity and placed the country among global leaders in this field. Canada appears to be within the top 10 countries in terms of water research productivity (publications) and research impact (citations). Research capacity has been traditionally strong in the restoration and protection of the lakes, prediction of changes in climate, water and cryosphere (areas where water is in solid forms such as ice and snow), prediction and management of floods and droughts. There is also a range of other strong water research directions. Canada is not among the top 10 global water aid donors in absolute dollar numbers; the forerunners are, as a rule, the countries with higher GDP per capita. Canadian investments in Africa water development were consistently higher over the years than investments in other regions of the global South. The contributions dropped significantly in recent years overall, also with a decline in aid flow to Africa. Given government support for the right business model and access to resources, there is significant capacity within the Canadian water sector to deliver water technology projects with effective sustainable outcomes for the developing world. The report recommends several potential avenues to elevate Canada’s role on the global water stage, i.e. innovative, diverse and specific approaches such as developing a national inventory of available water professional capacity, and ranking Universities on the strength of their water programmes coordinating national contributions to global sustainability processes around the largest ever university-led water research programme in the world – the 7-year Global Water Futures program targeting specific developmental or regional challenges through overseas development aid to achieve quick wins that may require only modest investments resolving such chronic internal water challenges as water supply and sanitation of First Nations, and illustrating how this can be achieved within a limited period with good will strengthening and expanding links with UN-Water and other UN organisations involved in global water policy work To improve water management at home, and to promote water Canadian competence abroad, the diverse efforts of the country’s water sector need better coordination. There is a significant role for government at all levels, but especially federally, in this process.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: Whether the application of adaptive design in clinical trials of rare cancers can shorten the duration of clinical trials? Condition being studied: Currently, the development of innovative drug products (InMPs) for rare cancers faces many challenges, including the difficulty of enrolling sufficient numbers of patients from small and heterogeneous patient populations for clinical trials, and the significant risks of high financial investment, long development times and potential failure from a pharmaceutical company's perspective for rare cancer drugs due to limited knowledge of the natural history of the disease. Therefore, alternative approaches to clinical trial design are needed to conduct cost-effective, well-controlled analyses that can assess treatment effects in small, heterogeneous populations within shorter time frames. Adaptive trials, on the other hand, may be an effective solution to this problem. Adaptive clinical trials are designed to accelerate the clinical trial process by making predefined adjustments to key parameters through data accumulated at predefined time points during the trial without compromising the integrity and validity of the results.This study aims to examine the value of adaptive design in reducing the duration of clinical trials in rare cancers and encourage their wider implementation.

The ESI Model includes a contract for the supply, installation, and maintenance of equipment for generating a stipulated amount of energy or energy savings over a specific time period; validation by an independent body; insurance coverage that backs the savings or the guaranteed energy generation; and project financing. This paper describes the main attributes of the ESI Model (the contract, the insurance, validation and financing), evaluates market potential and the most attractive technologies, and identifies the priority sectors for implementing projects in Chile. The most promising economic sectors were found to be the hospitality industry, food processing industry, grape growing/wine production, and the fishing industry, and the technologies of electric motors, boilers, air conditioning systems and photovoltaic solar generation. In each of these sectors, estimates were made of financing requirements as well as CO2 emission reductions that could be achieved.
