What user-innovators do that others don't: a study of daily practices

This paper argues that innovation behavior roots in specific socio-psychological set-ups that crystallize in daily practices and routines. The latter are easy to observe and have great potential for the identification of user-innovation behavior. We study the practices and routines of Russian user-innovators around media consumption, internet and technologyusage, consumer preferences and civic engagement in comparison with a sample of mere users. The derived model correctly classified 73% of the original grouped cases of userinnovators. We conclude that a set of practices relative to the economic, social and cultural background explains user-innovation engagement and how support could be provided. Although some of our findings are probably specific to Russia, the results are encouraging for further research into the importance of practices and routines in identifying user-innovators.

This article examines the musealisation of industrial heritage and its role in regional and corporate branding. The relevance of this study stems from deindustrialisation processes, the growth of industrial tourism, and the need to preserve historical memory, which is particularly important in the context of Russian realities—the lack of a legal definition of the concept ...

На фоне развивающихся торгово-экономических отношений между Россией и Китаем российские десерт- ные бренды получают новые возможности для выхода на китайский рынок. Однако их присутствие ограничено преи- мущественно приграничными регионами, а продвижение сдерживается недостаточной адаптацией к социокультурным особенностям китайских потребителей. Статья посвящена разработке практических рекомендаций по формированию стратегии адаптации российских десертных брендов к специфике китайского рынка. ...

Green transitions are widely expected to attract cleaner capital and accelerate decarbonization; however, emerging-economy evidence increasingly challenges this assumption. This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy transition indicators and capital inflows in BRICS+ economies over the period 1996–2022, explicitly testing the “Green Haven” hypothesis under conditions of global uncertainty. Unlike much of the existing ...

This study conducted in Indonesia between 2000 and 2023, demonstrates a complex, non-linear interplay between the economic environment and the emergence of clean energy start-ups. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Markov Switching models, the research shows that start-up formation coincides with periods of lower GDP growth, suggesting that innovation is often spurred by necessity. Two ...

Политические языки ряда русских националистов имели специфичное словоупотребление «имперских» идиом в Перестройку и 1990-е гг. Воображение «империи» было связано со спецификой их взглядов на «национальное» в контексте рассмотрения актуальных политических проблем. Также, использование ими «имперских» идиом зависело от полемики с другими националистами и либерал-демократами. Данная статья посвящена анализу и сравнению использования «имперских» и связанных с ...

Free riding behaviors, such as tax evasion and exploiting public resources, erode societal trust and cooperation. Using a representative survey conducted in Spain (N = 2,000, Catalonia) with an embedded experiment that randomly exposed participants to different moral framings, this study examines how such framings shape attitudes towards free riding, including tax evasion, claiming undeserved ...

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data from more than 25,000 individuals across 90 societies, we test several hypotheses linking ...

We examine board of directors’ gender diversity and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure of Russian firms, and test for their effects on the market valuation of these firms. The Russian context is unique because gender disparity of boards and top management remains high in Russia due to historical legacy, absence of specific diversity-promoting regulations and ...

Abstract. Over the years of market reforms, China has moved from an autarkic economy to the position of the world’s largest trading power, becoming a global leader both in export volume and in total foreign trade turnover. For a long time, China’s export success was commonly explained by her use of comparative advantages in labor-intensive ...

Статья посвящена анализу образовательной деятельности университетских музеев России. Актуальность исследования обусловлена противоречием между высоким
образовательным потенциалом музеев и фрагментарностью его реализации, а также отсутствием в литературе системного анализа условий интеграции музеев в учебный процесс высшей школы. Несмотря на признание музеев важными центрами сохранения наследия и популяризации науки, вопрос об их реальной включённости в повседневную образовательную жизнь
вузов ...

При всей кажущейся ясности и недвусмысленности понятия «свобода» дать ему исчерпывающую научную дефиницию весьма затруднительно. У каждой отрасли знания свой подход к трактовке этого многоаспектного понятия. В ходе обсуждения, материалы которого вошли в настоящий сборник, свобода рассматривается с позиций философии, социологии, юриспруденции, психологии, нейрофизиологии и т.д.
Участники дискуссии рассуждают о границах свободы воли и субъектности человека, о соотношении свободы и ...

New Victory Day’s celebration practices, mostly St. George’s ribbons and The Immortal
Regiment marches, are explained by dynamics of macrosociological variances.
Main structural elements of Victory Day celebrations during Soviet period were:
(1) distinctive role of veterans as the “carrier group” for festive scenario and values;
(2) combination of public rituals and family memory, patriotic solidarity and
commemoration of tragedy.

This article reconstructs the theoretical logic underlying the "Soviet Man" research project by Yuri Levada's group. Based on the project's publications, it reconstructs an "early" model, which includes a set of attitudes toward the "antinomies" of the Soviet system, and a later model, which emphasizes a set of adaptive characteristics ("adapted," "two-faced," etc.). It elucidates the empirical ...

The review considers Yudin’s arguments on the “plebiscitarian bias” in opinion-poll technology, on the linkages between opinion-polls, Rousseauist tradition and the “plebiscitarian model”, and on Gallup’s, Schumpeter’s, and Weber’s contributions to plebiscitarism. In the context of the proposed conceptual model, controversial issues in the interpretation of Weber’s and ...

Sociological texts on zombies are mostly interested in human problems (capitalism, pop culture, etc), not in zombies as such. Zombies as a specific form of (non) life remain a blindspot for sociologists. Scientists of other disciplines, like epidemiology and neurosciences, have already declared their ways for studying zombies. Our task is to outline the concepts ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

This paper examines how this paradigm is reworked under conditions of polycrisis, a durable state in which economic, geopolitical, and institutional shocks interact and reinforce one ...

Это взаимодействие постоянно трансформировалось, однако одна особенность всегда оставалась неизменной: жизнь человека напрямую зависит от состояния природы.
