This research responds to the call on global convergence in the international business management domain. Global convergence requires new evolutionary, devolutionary and even revolutionary strategies that are framed in the context of digital transformation. The digital transformation phenomenon has led to different theoretical and managerial perspectives on disruptive technologies provoking the need for more studies on the integration of such technologies within SMEs ecosystem-based business models (EBBMs). In this vein, by adopting a micro-level lens, this research examines 718 managers from SMEs in Europe who have already embraced the digital transformation process and have bonded physical and digital ecosystems. The results are analysed through the application of logistic regression analysis.
A notable contribution of this study is the development of a new model which articulates the relationship between substantive capability, adaptation capability and change capability in the SME.
The study articulates how these work, support and facilitate disruptive technology integration in EBBM and suggests a method for their evaluation. As emerged the consideration that DCs are not replicable is supported and so it has been shown that technologies cannot replace human beings in their transformation business capabilities. This addresses the evolutionary change of global convergence generated by disruptive technologies that: 1. empower individual skills; 2. develops renewed strategies for enhancing network capabilities and; 3. allows the exploring and exploiting of opportunities from the influence of EBBM.

Статья посвящена проблеме применения специальных финансово-экономических знаний при рассмотрении дел о картельных соглашениях. Автор исходит из того, что российская правоприменительная практика по делам о картелях исторически опирается преимущественно на поведенческие и цифровые «следы» сговора, тогда как экономический анализ зачастую играет вспомогательную роль. На основе анализа отечественного и зарубежного опыта обосновывается тезис о необходимости разграничения двух ...

This study explores the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among university students in Russia, where entrepreneurial engagement remains relatively low. It emphasizes the role of internal psychological drivers, such as SWB, willingness to take risks and entrepreneurial self-efficacy, rather than focusing solely on external factors. Drawing on the Theory of Planned ...

Increasing female representation in technical majors, traditionally associated with high earnings, is recognised as a mechanism for promoting gender equality in the labour market. However, if women quit STEM soon after graduation, increasing their proportion in relevant disciplines will not help reduce the gender wage gap. This paper provides new evidence of the ‘leaky pipeline’ ...

В данном исследовании рассматривается связь между интеллектуальным капиталом компаний и их интернационализацией в условиях внешних шоков. В отличие от предыдущих работ, как правило, рассматривающих взаимосвязь интеллектуального капитала и интернационализации в стабильной экономике, в исследовании развиваются предположения о неоднородном влиянии шоков на компоненты интеллектуального капитала и, соответственно, различном модерационном эффекте шоков на трансформацию интеллектуального капитала в экспортную ...

Enterprises planning material requirements must account for multiple sources of uncertainty. Considering the impact of yield uncertainty is of prime importance to decision-makers. To mitigate the effects of random yield on the continuity of manufacturing operations, we propose establishing a reserve stock to prevent shortages due to defective items within safety stock levels.
