Purpose – This paper highlights the challenges and key arguments for digital copyright protection legislation for creative industries. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by independent academics who place the arguments in context based upon literature and market data. Findings – Many of the arguments used against copyright protection laws draw upon flawed analysis. Artistic creators should be treated fairly and their work should be afforded the same protection as other property. Practical implications – Digital legislation warrants review, but not for the frequently cited reasons of “stifling innovation” or “restriction” of others using the work. Rather, artists need better protection for their work and fairer treatment with regards their property rights. Originality/value – The paper provides context and practical insights into the data used to influence policy decision makers, providing a stronger case for legislative review.

The conception of Corporate Social Responsibility has continued to gain a lengthy discussion in all aspects of corporate finance with a particular focus on its contributing to financial performance. Despite its prominence globally, many companies have not embraced the concept, as most of them have remained doubtful about its contribution to corporate financial performance. Several companies have digressed the idea to merely an aspect of charity and cost instead of cost reduction and market creation. The fixed-effect model of panel data analysis was applied for the study period from 2010 to 2019 to measure relationships on CSR’s effect on the financial performance of listed companies in Kenya. The study used panel data for the years 2010–2019. The research used trend analysis for ten years to analyse data using canonical correlations, Logistic Regression analysis and ARIMA models to establish relationships among the variables of the study. Our results offer new evidence on the linearity effect of CSR on financial performance suggest that Corporate Social Responsibilities activities are very vital influencers of firm value, as they have a positive influence on the financial performance of companies.

This study is devoted to the analysis of the current state of legislation of Ukraine and EU countries on copyright protection of works with an unstable form of expression, as well as to determine the features of the legal protection of such objects. The purpose of the article was to explore the existing possibilities in the law of Ukraine and the law of the EU countries for the protection of works with an unstable form of their expression. The article, based on the analysis of international legal acts and national legislation, highlights the elements of protection of works. A significant place in work is devoted to the analysis of theoretical, legislative approaches to the definition of "creativity", "originality", "novelty". It is stated that there is no single waste to the definition of these concepts in the literature and not regulated in the legislation in the field of copyright. A comparative legal analysis of the case-law of the United Kingdom and the United States on the provision of legal protection to works with an unstable form. It is concluded that the normative definition of “creative work”, which is associated exclusively with works of cultural value, is not acceptable for copyright. The article analyses the judicial practice of Ukraine, which has developed in the definition of creative work and illustrates its ambiguity. It is concluded that judges, considering such cases, try to find some stable elements that are inherent in works with an unstable form of expression.

The purpose of the study is to identify the expediency and validity of creating a certain category of Nature Reserve Fund (NRF) in the specific conditions of the urban environment in accordance with the functions and criteria established by the current legislation of Ukraine on the example of Partyzans’ka Slava Regional Landscape Park (RLP) in Kyiv. To achieve this goal, the peculiarities of urban protected areas creation in accordance with the criteria and tasks established are considered. Materials and methods. The following research algorithm is applied to determine the conformity of the Partyzans’ka slava RLP (henceforth: Park) territory to the requirements, according to legislative and regulatory documents. A Digital Elevation Model had been developed and after its filtering, a hypsometric map was constructed. Based on the obtained relief morphometric parameters, collected information, analysis of satellite images and field studies, using the GIS software packages, a landscape structure map of the RLP territory was been created. Main research results. A significant inconsistency of the RLP functioning with the existing requirements and its actual transformation into an ordinary shopping and entertainment complex is revealed. The fulfilment of the main functions of the Park for 25 years from the moment of granting the status of a nature conservation institution of local importance is analysed. Unsatisfactory implementation of the legal objectives of RLP creation, including huge disproportions in the allocation of functional zones is established. Unreasonable Park zoning leads, among other things, to illegal construction, land grabbing and deforestation throughout its territory. In addition, the actual absence of a reserved functional zone in no way contributes to the Park’s fulfilment of its tasks as an institution of the NRF of Ukraine. For a quarter of a century, no special administration has been established in the Park. That means that the RLP does not have a statutory management body. As a result of a governing body absence, Project for its territory organization is not updated and approved in the Park. The species diversity of flora and fauna of the Park turned out to be quite poor. Also, none of the typical and rare plant groups included in the Green Book of Ukraine has been discovered on the Park territory. Due to insufficient provision of the conditions for the population organized rest, uncontrolled recreation violated the integrity of the soil and vegetation, and the whole territory of the RLP is heavily littered. Based on the revealed problems of the RLP functioning, a weak perception of the Park status by the society is substantiated, which contributes to the further degradation of natural complexes and makes it inappropriate to keep its territory as a nature protected institution of the NRF of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the study is to carry out landscape analysis and to create a map of the Park territory landscape structure for the first time. The analysis of this map allows refuting the idea of high landscape value within the Park. Practical value. Considering that none of the legal functions of the RLP has been performed for a long time, it is proposed to improve the management quality of this protected area by integrating it into the urban infrastructure. It is justified to review the Park’s conservation status and its transfer from the category of NRF institution to a regular urban culture and recreation park with increased access for visitors in order to ensure their daily contact with nature. At the same time, valuable natural objects, in particular centenary trees, must be preserved and protected. According to the concept of nature and the city organic unity, such a park will contribute to the creation of an urbanized space that is comfortable for residents and safe for the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Innovations have the potential to create value by generating rents (primary appropriability), or they can be used as background knowledge for further innovations and value creation (generative appropriability). Because these possibilities exist, organisations need to make strategic decisions on knowledge sharing with their partners in collaborative innovation. In best cases, primary and generative appropriability are complementarities rather than alternatives: Knowledge sharing with partners for new innovation could be made safer using formal and informal isolating appropriability mechanisms that improve controllability, thereby preserving rent generation possibilities and simultaneously allowing safe knowledge exchange. We use a quantitative sample of 209 Finnish firms to examine how different formal and informal appropriability mechanisms relate to value capture and creation, and whether these relationships are affected by the strategic goal to reduce imitation of competitors or to improve safe knowledge sharing to partners.

The emergence of environmental issues has increased environmental protection awareness among society and pushed organizations to become environmentally responsible. Many companies currently consolidate environmental matters into their corporate strategic plan by adopting a comprehensive Environmental Management Accounting System (EMAS) to create more value. However, a lack of understanding on the institutional pressures persuading EMAS adoption within the organizations has reduced the urgency for the company to adopt the EMAS. This paper aims to explain the management's behavioral issues towards accepting EMAS adoption and how this behavior would lead to value creation.

ABSTRACT Although a firm's strategy map is likely to evolve over time, empirical research on the evolution of strategy maps is largely underexplored. Drawing on fieldwork, this study examines strategy map evolution from a value creation perspective. The findings show that a firm's strategy map evolves in response to delivering new value and/or existing value through new value creation design themes. Furthermore, value creation design themes' underlying strategy maps are dynamic in that certain design themes of an existing strategy map continue as part of the new strategy map, whereas others are abandoned. The study also shows that over time, design themes' underlying strategy maps can change their role from value creation to value protection. Finally, this study discusses how the use and change of strategy maps can be linked, and how the use of a strategy map can influence its design.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) face with many obstacles in the process of joining the global value chains. They include small scale of businesses (large corporations require bigger volumes of raw materials), relatively higher production costs, information vacuum, scarce resources for innovations, limited access to finance, weak institutional support, and, in general, the poor ability to compete with large firms in research and entry into global markets. Purpose. The article aims to reveal the opportunities and barriers for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine in the value creation global chain. Results. Significant prospects for Ukrainian SME in value creation global chains are opening up in the field of green investments (production of environmentally friendly products or energy efficient appliances etc.). However, there is a serious risk to business in value chains: the end-producer puts suppliers in a strict framework, where the supplier actually loses the functions of an independent enterprise, and becomes the “sub-unit” of a large corporation. The role of the state in developing export potential of SME to integrate them in global value-added chains is crucial, namely, informing about the possibilities of participation in global chains, the preferential financing of SME as participants of chains, protection of intellectual property and tax incentives for innovative enterprises, subsidies for product standardization. Ukraine should join the international standards of value added reporting by type of enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
The development of the idea of wildlife conservation in the USA has investigated. The role of colonization of the North American continent in attracting interest to wildlife has identified. Two vectors of such influence are determined: negative impact (destruction of many species of flora and fauna) and positive (the discovery of unique natural landscapes). The contribution of American painters, writers, scholars, and statesmen of late 19th – 20th centuries in the disclosure of the non-economic value of wildlife and the creation of the first areas of its protection has defined. The US legislation on wildlife conservation in the twentieth century has analyzed. The role of US President Theodore Roosevelt in establishing the first US nature reserves has revealed. It has concluded that on the eve of World War II, American society has already spread an understanding of the importance of protecting wildlife and American presidents carried out fragmentary measures in this area. Despite the widespread perception of wildlife in American society in terms of assessing its economic value, which was associated with the needs of hunting and tourism development, an understanding of the importance of preserving the species of wild flora and fauna for the development of ecosystems has been already developed. On this basis, in the second half of the twentieth century, the first legislative acts on the protection of wildlife were adopted. It has proved that the first in the world the United States gave a legal definition of wildlife and enshrined it in 1964 the Wilderness Act. The term “wild river” introduced by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (1968) has analyzed. The growth of the National System of Wildlife Refuges and the procedure for the creation of such sites in the USA have considered. The modern problems of wildlife conservation in the USA are clarified. It is found that they are closely connected with the considerable increase in resource requirements due to population growth and urbanization. A conclusion is made about the US influence on the development of wildlife conservation in European countries, which adopted the first laws in wildlife protection only in the 1990s.

The analysis of the status and trends of the development of territorial communities in Ukraine is carried out. The expediency of the development of tools for assessing the risk of investors’ value in projects for the creation of cooperatives for the provision of family dairy farms is substantiated. The model and computer program of risk assessment of investors’ value of projects based on the use of probability theory, methods of mathematical statistics and modeling of work execution for determination of variable costs for feed production are developed. It has been established that there are three scenarios for the formation of the value of investors for the creation of FC projects and three zones of their risk. The initial data are grounded for assessing the risk of investors investing in projects for the creation of cooperatives for the provision of family dairy farms. The study of the characteristics of the project environment for the conditions of the “Pokrova” SOK has been performed, which is located on the territory of the Zabolotiv’s community of the Brody district of the Lviv region. The statistical characteristics of distribution of expenses for production of feed, their market value and profit of investors of cooperatives forage supply of family dairy farms are substantiated. The level of risk of obtaining value from investments in the project of establishing a cooperative of forage provision of family dairy farms with a given minimum value of their profit is determined.

Full textAbstract:
This paper was motivated by the increasing interest in the current debate for the entrepreneurial process in family firms. Little research to date has investigated the family business exit and this topic is mainly considered as a failure for entrepreneurial families. However, when uncertainties arise concerning generational succession, the family business exit may enable ownership transitions facilitating survival and long term value creation strategies. Among the exit options, a private equity buyout may balance the family’s wealth protection and the firm’s future growth. However, which family specific characteristics and strategic needs may affect the exit option still remains a neglected topic. Based on recent research addressing entrepreneurship in family firms and corporate governance literature, this paper develops a case study for investigating the bridging role of private equity buyout for going through strategic transitions in family firms. Findings suggest that a private equity buyout is a governance mechanism which may sustain an entrepreneurial transition by realigning family interests and goals. It may also allow the family commitment for improving organizational capabilities required by an entrepreneurial transition.

Knowledge management (KM), a process of acquiring, converting, applying, and protecting knowledge assets, is crucial for value creation. The purpose of this research is to empirically test the relationship between KM processes (knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, knowledge application, and knowledge protection), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and firm performance. Data were collected from 159 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia using a cross-sectional survey. This research uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and WarpPLS version 7.0 to test the model. The results show that three of four KM dimensions: knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, and knowledge protection are positively related to performance. Moreover, EO has been found to moderate the relationship between knowledge application and performance positively.

At the same time, just these opportunities gave rise to such problems as unauthorized access to information resources, threat to the library resources security, need to ensure the users’ personal information protection. Extension in the volume and value of information scientific- technical and educational resources leads to an increase in the threats of unauthorized access to them. This requires the creation of reliable means of protecting information sources.

Full textAbstract:
It is shown that the level of development of digital technologies plays a decisive role in the competitiveness of both individual countries and individual regions. Along with the developed countries, the countries of South-East Asia have also become the leaders in the creation and implementation of the ICT. It is justified that the transition to a digital economy is considered as the driving force of innovation-oriented economic growth, provided favorable conditions for the institutional and business environment, the transformation of intellectual property protection systems, and integration to the global value added chains are created. In such chains, the better off companies and countries are those who possess significant resources in the form of intangible assets. The development of digital economy is impossible without creating a “solid analogue foundation”, including a regulatory framework, a strong human capital, and special institutions of electronic governance. The modern trends of the legal relations transformations in the field of intellectual property protection, as well as the structuring of objects and subjects of industrial property rights, copyright and related rights are systematized. It is pointed out that the current tendencies include both strengthening protection of personal non-property (moral) rights of the creators of intellectual property, and further commercialization of property (economic) rights. At the state level, it is necessary to ensure a balance between the protection of copyright and the priority areas of government policy in education, research, innovation, etc. Ukraine is not an active participant in the global value added chains, despite the potential available. The results of analysis of the Global Competitiveness Index components have revealed the strengths and weaknesses of Ukraine, in particular: comparatively high rankings and valuations of intangible assets directly related to digitalization, and, at the same time, dangerously low rankings in the assessment of institutional environment, macroeconomic stability and financial system. The key strategy for increasing Ukraine’s global competitiveness should be country’s “digitalization”, creation of domestic ICT market, and integration to the global value added chains.

Entrepreneurial skills are defined as the ability to act on opportunities and ideas, to create socioeconomic value for customers and make a profit. Entrepreneurial skills training can be done in any situation: from school curriculum to workplace innovation, from community initiatives to applied learning within universities. Being creative or innovative is a relevant skill for business planning and management. Innovation determines the creation of intellectual property objects, and innovative entrepreneurs must know how to identify intellectual property objects, determine the limits of rights, correctly apply the principles underlying the protection of IP rights, showing a negative attitude towards counterfeiting and piracy actions.

AbstractThis article explores the role of business in supporting and benefiting from nature protection during the second half of the nineteenth century. It begins with the support of business for protecting scenic wilderness in California and the creation of Yellowstone, as well as the role of the railroads in encouraging easterners to visit to the nation’s western national parks—all designed to create economic value by promoting tourism. It then examines the efforts of a wide range of business interests to protect the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Adirondack forest in New York State. The later effort was led by business interests from New York City who worried that deforestation would impair freight traffic on the Erie Canal and Hudson River as well as endanger the city’s water supplies. This article compliments Hay’s research on business and conservation during the Progressive Era by demonstrating that business also played a critical role in supporting wilderness and forest protection.

Purpose: The principal purpose of this article is to address a critical issue emerging in the realm of interorganizational dependencies heavily impacted by digitalization, namely developing business models that would protect privacy in a sustainable way. On the one hand, companies have been jointly proposing, creating, delivering, and capturing value through an excessive, unethical exploitation of personal data and information. On the other, restricting and controlling flows of data and information hampers the processes that lead to social well-being. This article reflects on this paradox by building on the theories of business models for sustainability and contextual integrity, while offering a holistic conceptual narrative guiding the sustainable transition towards digital equity and inclusivity. Design/methodology/approach: This conceptual article can be classified as a theory synthesis paper with the ambition to achieve an outcome that enhances knowledge on concepts and a phenomenon by a conceptual integration across two different, previously unconnected literature streams and theories. Findings: This article suggests that businesses which play any role in transmission of data and information cannot be sustainable without protecting privacy as a social value. Furthermore, it argues that privacy cannot be protected without addressing the appropriateness of both flow and use of data and information with respect to all involved stakeholders. Ultimately, via linking two distinct yet interrelated and rigorously developed research streams, a heuristic framework for privacy and sustainability in business models is proposed as a system of key considerations for managers to apply in assessing and planning a business practice, so it protects privacy in a sustainable way. Originality/value: The key theoretical contribution of this article can be considered twofold. Firstly, it unfolds the relevance of privacy protection for the stream of business model research directed toward sustainable development in a way that is theoretically rigorous, complementary with the stakeholder theory, and reflecting the changing interorganizational dependencies affected by digitalization. Secondly, it contributes to the contemporary debate on privacy as a social value through identifying theoretically thorough avenue for adapting the theory of contextual integrity to a social domain where value proposition, creation, delivery, and capture with and for stakeholders involves transmission of data and information.

Full textAbstract:
Facing the stage of high-quality economic development, energy-based enterprises not only need to improve their energy development technological innovation capabilities, but also actively face the transition to green, low-carbon and sustainable development. Technological innovation realizes the continuous accumulation of corporate value by innovating production technology and improving production efficiency. The ESG concept focuses on the three dimensions of environmental protection, fulfillment of social responsibilities and corporate governance, and helps companies cultivate green and sustainable development capabilities. Based on the two new development concepts of “innovation” and “green” as the research starting point, the article selects 208 listed energy-based companies in A-shares from 2015 to 2019 as the research sample, and uses empirical research to test the impact of corporate technological innovation and ESG information disclosure on energy. The impact of the value of the type of enterprise. The empirical results show that both corporate technological innovation and good ESG information disclosure have positive value creation effects; at the same time, good ESG information disclosure by energy- based companies can further enhance the value creation of technological innovation. At the end of the article, it also puts forward relevant suggestions for energy-based enterprises to improve their technological innovation capabilities and enhance environmental protection awareness.

Full textAbstract:
Oil and gas producers are familiar with the use of derivatives to hedge oil price risk.Beyond this, derivatives provide opportunities to enhance more general corporate finance activities.An example is raising finance for acquisitions or developments. When the maximum senior debt has been obtained, the choice between equity funding or other sources (such as subordinated debt) should also consider the up-front cash available from a structured derivative program—this may lower the overall cost of capital for the acquirer, and directly improve equity returns through lower dilution.A notable aspect of oil and gas production businesses is the high degree of embedded optionality. Option pricing methods can be used to value and monetise these real options—creating a new source of finance by transferring part of this embedded optionality to a party which can explicitly value and trade it.Generating value from real options (such as the opportunity to develop a proven, undeveloped reserve) can represent a critical source of finance.The value of such development assets is not fully recognised by traditional lending banks when the final investment decision remains some way off.By contrast, monetising real option value can provide funds at a point where they can be applied to appraisal drilling, thus funding the development of the project to a point where conventional debt or project-secured debt becomes feasible.Companies with both existing unhedged future production and a portfolio of PUD real options are best-placed to benefit from this source of finance.

Full textAbstract:
Research background: The cultural and creative industries are one of the main drivers of the economy throughout the European Union. There is a strong competition in the creation of creative products or services. Current protection of the creation of given products and services helps to prevent mistakes that can often have liquidating consequences for artists. There is a lot of competitive pressure on social networks. It is therefore necessary for these artists to be made aware of the protection of their work, in which they have invested their time, funds and efficiency with regard to the protection of intellectual property to gain a very important role in their industry. Purpose of the article: The main purpose is to point out the use of intellectual industry rights in a selected branch of the creative industry - in the sector of specialized design activities based on questionnaire survey realized at first half of this year. Methods: The basic methods that were used in the processing of the paper include generally applied methods such as analysis, synthesis, induction or deduction. In the application part of the presented paper, we used the results of a questionnaire survey among companies operating in the field of specialized design activities. Findings & Value added: As the added value can be considered the assessment of the state of worldwide-used intellectual property protection among companies in the selected sector of the creative industry, which was significantly affected by pandemic Covid-19. Another conclusion is the proposal of possible solutions to increase the protection of their intellectual activity.

Creation of vibro-protective devices on rolling contact bearings is widely spread in transportation technology and seismic protection. In this work, mathematical modeling of the oscillation movements of the elastic plate will be considered. The equations of motion for elastic plate on vibration supports bounded by high-order rotation surfaces by the Ostrogradsky-Hamilton principle are obtained. The natural frequencies of elastic plate are determined. It is established that the value of the natural frequencies of elastic plate decreases with increasing height and increases with the width of the bases. The ratio of the natural frequency of the second form to the natural frequency of the first form does not depend on the geometrical parameters of the plate.

Full textAbstract:
The environmental service provided by the great biodiversity of Amazonian forests is one of several factors leading to the conclusion that much greater efforts are warranted to reduce the destruction of these forests. Risks to biodiversity in Amazonian forests include deforestation, logging, fires, fragmentation, depletion of fauna, invasion by exotic species, and climate change. Financial values assigned to biodiversity depend strongly on the purposes of valuation. Utilitarian benefits include the values of presently-marketed and presently-unexploited forest products, and the monetary value of environmental benefits. Non-monetary values of Amazonian forests are also essential components of decision-making on conservation. Measures of ‘willingness to pay’ and ‘willingness to accept’ can be useful as indicators of potential financial flows, but should not be confused with the true values of the forests to society. Valuation for the purpose of setting penalties for destruction of biodiversity is an important legal question in Brazil and must take into consideration additional factors.Conservation of biodiversity in Brazil includes creation of various types of protected areas. The status of these areas varies greatly, with practice frequently deviating from official requirements. Creating reserves that include human occupants has a variety of pros and cons. Although the effect of humans is not always benign, much larger areas can be brought under protection regimes if human occupants are included. Additional considerations apply to buffer zones around protected areas. The choice and design of reserves depends on the financial costs and biodiversity benefits of different strategies. In Brazil, rapid creation of lightly-protected ‘paper parks’ has been a means of keeping ahead of the advance of barriers to establishment of new conservation units, but emphasis must eventually shift to better protection of existing reserves. Indigenous peoples have the best record of maintaining forest, but negotiation with these peoples is essential in order to ensure maintenance of the large areas of forest they inhabit. The benefits of environmental services provided by the forest must accrue to those who maintain these forests. Development of mechanisms to capture the value of these services will be a key factor affecting the long-term prospects of Amazonian forests. However, many effective measures to discourage deforestation could be taken immediately through government action, including levying and collecting taxes that discourage land speculation, changing land tenure establishment procedures so as not to reward deforestation, revoking remaining incentives, restricting road building and improvement, strengthening requirements for environmental impact statements (RIMAs) for proposed development projects, and creating employment alternatives.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose is to solve copyright disputes over artificial intelligence (AI)-written literary creations and protect copyright by legislation through data reliability research. Accordingly, this work makes a detailed study of the criteria for the copyright protection of AI-written literary creation and the creation process. It constructs the model of swarm intelligence (SI) perception. Then, the Preservation Trustworthiness Incentives Sense (PTISense) scheme is designed based on the encryption algorithm for the SI perception model. The performance of the proposed PTISense scheme is verified and analyzed through experiments. Mainly, it analyzes the impact of PTISense on the accuracy of the reputation model, its robustness against malicious users, and the actual feasibility. The results show that when users complete 50 tasks, the false-positive rate is only 0.1, and the corresponding false-negative rate approximates 0. After each task, the user reputation will be updated, and the data will be evaluated for trust. The trust model of the proposed PTISense scheme based on encryption technology is more accurate. When η (the number of malicious users) is small, the more tasks are performed, the faster the reputation value decreases and tends to zero. The proposed PTISense scheme-based reputation evaluation model can better protect the data submitted by good users. It is robust against malicious users and protects the data and privacy of good users. Further, entities’ computing overhead in different SI perception stages is calculated. It is found that the proposed PTISense scheme is feasible for user data privacy protection. Compared with other schemes, it can achieve a safe and reliable SI perception process with a lower computing overhead. It can better ensure the authenticity and reliability of data.

Full textAbstract:
Trade secret is a factor in the creation of innovation for a company to maintain its presence in the community. PT. CPM must identify information that is considered confidential trade before making attempts of legal protection of such information, because not all corporate information can be regarded as a trade secret. The identification is done by providing criteria for confidential information such as information that is not known by the public, has economic value, giving a loss if the information leaked and stolen. So PT. CPM has two attempts of legal protection of trade secrets. First, preventively is to have rules and regulations and written agreements between the parties relating to trade secret information PT. CPM. Second, repressive of protecting end to the measures for violations occurred. In case of violation, PT. CPM will solve the problem amicably. If it fails, then the next action to decide the employment of actors and reported to the authorities. Companies better make a written agreement between the parties in advance and posted to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights in order to ensure the protection of the company's trade secrets.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the protections and limitations of the current law on local creators from the perspective of cultural autonomy. The Constitution guarantees the basic cultural rights and the Framework Act on Culture(FAC) and other regulations makes them concrete. However, there is a lack of legal mechanisms to recognize the importance of local creators and protect them. Many countries strive to enhance regional creativity and protect local creators by emphasizing autonomous creativity by introducing legal systems that are appropriate to their cultural environment and circumstances. This paper examines the laws related in the US, UK, and Japan, and draws implications for legislative improvement. In conclusion, the value of creation is more emphasized in the FAC, etc., and norms should be improved through local government ordinances that can reflect the characteristics of local creativity.

Full textAbstract:
The ultimate embodiment of the value of the art creation process is artistic value, which is the embodiment of the greatest value created by art. Art creation is a form of art culture expression. To make their works more cultural and artistic, creators incorporate their personal creative style and ideological concepts. The ultimate expression of the value of the art creation process is artistic value, which is the embodiment of the greatest value of art creation. It provides a useful method for conducting digital research on human artistic works and has important implications for the protection and innovation of such works. In order to better realize artistic work research and innovation, this article primarily organizes and analyzes the literature on art classification and sentiment analysis currently available in the United States and abroad. This paper proposes a Python-based machine learning art emotion analysis method to investigate the issue of art emotion analysis. This program can achieve better results in analyzing sentiment orientation through a large number of experiments, and it is more efficient than a traditional weighted art sentiment analysis algorithm. This paper proposes a conditional random field extraction of core sentences-based art sentiment analysis algorithm for long works of art. The conditional random field is used to locate evaluation objects from which core sentences can be extracted, and an algorithm for sentiment sentence emotional polarity weight synthesis is proposed. Finally, experiments are used to compare the algorithm. The algorithm’s stability and effectiveness are demonstrated by its accuracy, recall, and F-value.

Full textAbstract:
The prevalence of minority family businesses in emerging markets has several theoretical and practical implications. First, a practical consequence of institutional weakness suggests that family businesses perform both wealth-creation and wealth-preservation tasks in an emerging market. Legal protection for property rights and financial institutions specializing in wealth reallocation and preservation are often ineffective in emerging markets. Lacking such security, the family business unit necessarily becomes something more than a value-creation device; it may also serve as a wealth-protection and intergenerational and/or geographical transmission device used to preserve and transfer wealth through various informal and often nontransparent means. Consequently, the financial goals of the family firm are subject to frequent trade-offs between entrepreneurial activities that generate new wealth and more defensive activities that preserve, hide, or allow for the geographic or intergenerational transmission of wealth.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to examine whether capital market rewards firms with good corporate sustainability practices in an international setting by using the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI hereafter) as an integrated measure of firm sustainability performance. Design/methodology/approach – There are two alternative theories regarding the impact of sustainability on firm value. The value-creating theory predicts that integration of environmental and social responsibility into corporate strategies and practices reduces firm risk and promotes long-term value creation. The value-destroying theory on sustainability suggests that managers may engage in socially responsible activities at the expense of shareholders. To perform empirical tests, we use a large international sample for a period of 13 years between 1999 (the first year when DJSI became available) and 2011. To control for self-selection bias and simultaneity, the authors use lagged values of sustainability performance in a robustness check. Findings – The authors find a positive relation between sustainability performance and firm value, after controlling for variables that have been found to affect firm value in the existing literature. The test results are consistent with the value enhancing theory (as opposed to the shareholder expense theory) regarding the role of sustainability engagement in firm valuation. Furthermore, the positive impact of sustainability engagement on firm value is primarily driven by countries with strong investor protection and with high disclosure levels. Research limitations/implications – A positive impact of sustainability performance on firm value supports the value-creating theory and rejects the value-destroying theory. Test results also suggest a more pronounced market response to corporate sustainability in countries with stronger shareholders protection and higher requirement for financial transparency. Practical implications – Given the growing international capital market and intensifying global competition, the valuation implications of sustainability in an international context is of practical interest to management, investors and regulators worldwide. Originality/value – First, it is an initial attempt to test an integrated measure of the “triple-bottom-line” definition of sustainability in an international setting. Second, our paper studies the international variation in market valuation of firm sustainability performance in terms of the value enhancing versus shareholder expense theories on sustainability. The authors explore the relevance of sustainability performance in relation to the investor protection and the reporting environment across countries.

Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation has been legally enacted. The government claims that Law Job Creation is to improve the investment climate, especially in the global conditions that are being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and are predicted to have a correlation with job creation for the peoples. However, from the time the law was proposed, discussed, endorsed, until it was signed, this law has resulted in problems, one of which is about Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The research questions formulated are: First, what is the historical trail of the birth and development of the EIA instrument? Second, based on the historical traces of its birth and development, is Law Job Creation a forward movement or is it a backward movement on the discourse of environmental protection? By focusing on the legal history side of EIA, using a socio-legal approach method, it can be conveyed that the traces of regulation on EIA from global discourse to national regulations are actually capable of capturing a value-based transformative vision of environmental awareness and justice. However, the transformation process was mostly carried out by the interests of foreign funding institutions that carried a vision of economic interests that reduced a value-based transformative vision. Law Job Creation is the next milestone in the transformation of regulations regarding EIA and environmental permits. If the vision for the transformation of environmental regulations is about a value-based vision towards a more environmentally aware and environment justice, it is clear that Law Job Creation is like bringing back to the starting point again.

Purpose Social capital plays an important role in transforming knowledge within and across inter-firm business networks in industries. The purpose of this paper is to explore different kinds of transfer mechanism such as “bonding,” “bridging,” and “protecting” within a case network of the Danish offshore windmill industry. Its aim is to describe how these mechanisms interactively support value co-creation among the involved enterprises and how social capital, residing in the relationships between actors from the firms, is influenced by the different transfer mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach Based upon a single case study, the paper demonstrates “bonding,” “bridging,” and “protecting” as distinct, yet related, mechanisms for inter-firm business networking. The sample used covers selected key actors from the network as well as third-party experts from the Danish windmill industry, which together represent the most important knowledge-offering and knowledge-demanding domains. Findings Activities associated with “bridging” and “bonding” clearly matter for creating value for the business network and the industry alike, as they are supportive of strategic capability development (for instance, high-skilled work). While producers and supply companies apply such “bridging,” “bonding,” and additional “protecting” mechanisms based upon their predominant position, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), however, need to shape teams to do so. A major finding of the study is, thus, that team-based interrelationships among SMEs activate “bridging,” “bonding.” and “protecting” initiatives which are particularly supportive of capability improvement and industry growth. They enable the transfer of relevant capabilities between different projects where actors within SMEs organizations learn to activate and use such knowledge transfer mechanisms. Moreover, asymmetrical dependency-relationships can be partly overcome by shaping and using the mechanisms on the part of SMEs in the network. Originality/value To date, brokerage is still an under-explored topic with regard to inter-firm business networks. This case study contributes to the research by illustrating important and distinct qualitative aspects of brokerage, which are conceptualized as “bonding,” “bridging,” and “protecting” initiatives on the part of brokers. The study highlights that not only strong actors with central positions can step into the role as a broker. Even less resourceful actors within asymmetrical relations can act as broker and compensate a lack of resources or strengthen their position within the industry network. Consequently, value co-creating processes within industry networks can also be boosted by brokerage initiated by small companies.

PurposeAs service companies are occupying an increasingly significant place as drivers of economic growth, there is a pressing need to understand their peculiarities in order to facilitate their effective management and governance. One important area in which this kind of understanding is lacking is intellectual capital (IC) and knowledge management. Although intellectual capital has become the key value driver for all types of organizations, there is a lack of systematic research on whether there are fundamental differences in the IC of service‐oriented versus product‐oriented companies. In an attempt to bridge this gap the paper aims to examine the main differences in IC stocks, creation, management and protection mechanisms between service‐oriented and product‐oriented companies.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is based on empirical evidence collected from 418 respondents representing HR and R&D functions in 335 Finnish companies.FindingsThe results demonstrate that service‐oriented companies possess more human capital and renewal capital, and focus more on IC creation than product‐oriented companies. In addition, IC protection is stronger in product‐oriented companies. As companies move towards a service orientation they need to change their approach to IC stocks and management, and in this acknowledging the differences between a service and a product orientation is the first step.Originality/valueThe results presented in this study shed new light on the differences between service‐oriented and product‐oriented companies in terms of the possession, management, creation and protection of intellectual capital.

We examine the motivations for different financing methods of U.S. acquirers
that buy divested assets. In contrast to the widely held opinion in the mergers
and acquisitions (M&As) literature that acquirers use more equity payment in
countries with high investor protection and low economic restrictiveness, this
study finds that acquirers prefer cash payment in those countries. However,
several deal, acquirer, and target characteristic significantly influence the
financing methods, as suggested in the M&A literature.
We also measure the announcement effects on acquirer’s value. Acquirers
realize more pronounced wealth effects in domestic transactions compared to
the effects in foreign transactions. Moreover, the effects for acquirers are more
favorable when the relative size of the transaction is high, a proportion of the
price is paid with equity, the assets are from bankrupt targets, and the acquirers’
size is relatively small.

As the outerwear of a building, its color is one of the most significant features of a city. During thousands years of development the colors not only served for protection and decoration, but have been endowed with many intensions in the field of philosophy, politics, religion, culture and so on. Hence there has been formed a unique and integrated culture of colors. As many other cities, Xian is faced with the problem of maintaining its feature in the course of its development. On the basis of protecting the original style and features of the old town, delivering the profound cultural deposits, exploring the connection between traditional culture and modern architectural creation has become a common starting point for the architects in Xian. Based on the culture of Tang dynasty, the new Tang dynasty architecture is a bold attempt to shape a modern city and is also a direct reflection of the architects feeling about Chinese traditional architecture. In this paper, the writer studied the relationship between the colors of the new Tang dynasty architectural style and the creation of the modern Xian architecture from the point of architectural history and architectural design. Also, the paper explored its impact and inspiration on the modern architectural creation of Xian from the perspective of time feature. Moreover, it disclosed the value of the new Tang dynasty architectural style in a modern way and provided references, enlightenments and new ideas for the modern architectural creation in a historic city.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPreservationists and archaeologists often assess cemeteries for their research value as cultural resources of communities. Cemeteries hold significant interpretive and educational value because they serve communities as outdoor museums (Meyers 1996). The Cemetery Resource Protection Training (CRPT) workshop, developed by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), engages the public by providing an archaeological perspective and hands-on experiences for local communities to aid them in addressing the real-world problem of neglected historic cemeteries. After completing over 36 workshops in 28 different communities, the CRPT workshop template has proven to be a highly transferable means to provide education and outreach to underserved communities and sites, as directed in FPAN’s mission. This paper considers cemeteries as participatory museums using Nina Simon’s (2010) co-creation framework. Following a brief summary of cemetery training programs and a review of the larger cemetery crisis in Florida, the rationale for creation of the CRPT program and building blocks of the workshop are provided for other public archaeologists to adapt for training cemetery stewards. Finally, the creation of training opportunities for nonprofessionals as an advance in public archaeology practice is discussed.

Purpose This paper, through examining the judgment on Case C-131/12 and the European Union (EU)’s Proposal for a General Data Protection Regulation, aims to demonstrate to the records management (RM) profession, the importance of being proactively involved in records creation identification and the challenges of performing sound retention analyses for newly emerging activities. It also serves as a call to the RM profession that more active participation in law-making processes is needed. Design/methodology/approach The research selects the current right to be forgotten phenomenon as an illuminating case and examines it with fundamental RM concepts and principles, in particular those relating to records creation and retention. The research process consists of three major parts: one, the establishment of an analytical framework based on RM theories; two, description of the selected case that is relevant to the analysis; and three, the application of the analytical framework to the described case. Findings Records retentions are much needed for the activities of data controllers that are now established by the most recent Judgment of the European Court of Justice pertinent to the right to be forgotten and the proposed General Data Protection Regulation. The determination of retention periods for such activities requires an RM framework that synthesizes the identification of digital records and the various types of value associated with the different usages of records. It is also observed that the data protection legal framework does not address RM considerations, or at least, not in any explicit, easily recognizable manners. Research limitations/implications Records retentions are much needed for the activities of data controllers and/or processors that are now required by the Judgment of the European Court of Justice and the proposed EU General Data Protection Regulation, yet the legal framework does not offer any assistance in establishing retentions. It is also observed that the data protection legal framework fully acknowledges the importance of records but fails to address RM considerations – at least, not in any explicit, easily recognizable manners. Practical implications The findings are expected to be instructive to data controllers and/or processors, in particular with respect to records creation identification and records retention establishment in their organizations. It is also expected that the observations generated during the analysis process could shed light on the development of the RM profession. Social implications The right to be forgotten in the digital world has newly acquired complications, and it has the potential to affect not just the privacy right but also the rights considered conflicting to it, such as the rights of freedom of press and freedom of expression/speech. Efficient and effective RM programs should be able to assist their parent organizations in dealing with this complicated situation through creating and managing records that support the compliance of regulatory requirements on the one hand and the balancing of competing rights on the other hand. Originality/value The research appears to be the first of its kind according to the literature search conducted within the accessibility scope of the researcher.

Full textAbstract:
The climate change factor (CCF) is a precautionary instrument for technical flood protection that was introduced in Southern Germany in the early 2000s. The CCF was designed as a surcharge value to be added to all new technical flood protection facilities, such as dams, protection walls, and retention areas. This paper deconstructs the conditions and processes that led to the creation of this new policy instrument. Following the instrument choice framework, the paper analyzes in a heuristic manner, the institutions, actors, discourses, and decision context that were part of this process from the early 1990s to 2004, when the instrument was introduced. In order to better understand the scope of this regional instrument, the paper also briefly depicts four non-representative cases of flood risk and protection management, where the instrument was either applied or avoided. The article closes with an assessment of the CCF, concluding that the innovativeness of this instrument faded once the overarching sectoral paradigm shifted from technical flood protection to more comprehensive flood risk management.
