Creativity and the ability to innovate are commonly pointed to as being core attributes of the competencies that organizations need to differentiate themselves and obtain comparative advantages in the competitive world of contemporary business. This premise has led to countless organizations requiring that the professionals they employ be creative, as opposed to having purely a command-control profile. Given this context, the main objective of this article is to investigate a sample of 7,924 graduates of executive development programs. These were alumni from more than 40 year-groups of executive education courses that were offered by a business school headquartered in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, and who between 2010 and 2016 underwent a MBTI instrument, a device for measuring individual psychological preferences (Myers & Myers, 1997) that was developed from Jung’s psychological types (Jung, 2013a). The expectation was that it would be possible to see by how much the profiles of these alumni had changed over the period investigated, with an increase in the psychological function, Intuition, as either dominant or auxiliary in the psychological types. The results, however, demonstrate a high preponderance of the Thinking and Sensing preferences, which are associated with command-control type professional profiles. The Intuition and Perceiving profiles, which are commonly related to creativity and innovation, had the lowest incidences throughout the historical series that was investigated.

This paper aims to investigate process of requalification of economic functions in the ongoing transition to the digital economy experienced by the American city of Lafayette, in the state of Louisiana. As a starting point an extensive analysis of the history of the city and its surroundings was carried out, accompanied by semi-structured and in-depth interviews with respondents involved in the current process of reconversion investigated. In this transition it was relevant the Lafayette’s historical, demographic, cultural, spatial, and socioeconomic dynamics. According to Bourdieu’s theoretical framework, it was sought to identify the main cognitive categories, both in relation to the socio-institutional dynamics and individual variations, emerging from the interviews. As result, the analysis of the habitus and the main economic, cultural, social, and symbolic capitals mobilized by community members it was possible to identify themes and categories used to describe the local business ecosystem and its components. It was also possible to reveal alliances and disputes that forge and characterize Lafayette’s business environment, taking into account relationships among its main historical agents: White Americans vs. Indians, White Americans vs. Cajuns, White Americans vs. Blackcreoles.

In this article focus is put on how the current Human rights mechanism is a part of the wider neo-colonial strategy which is aimed at assisting the market forces only addressing the neo-colonial injustices and providing justice. The aim behind this work is to study and critique the works of majorly Jessica Whyte and Samuel Moyn in this concern upon as to whether Human Rights is a form of Neocolonialism and cannot therefore address the injustices of the neo-liberal global order.

This article focuses on the Middle Eastern State of Qatar’s UK investments as a back-up or legitimacy seeking exercise rather than a strategic economic imperative per se. With investments in France, Spain (Catalan) and England (notably London), Qatar seems to have inadvertently provided itself with a contingency plan, which has only become clearer to the world following the now resolved estranged relationships with its Arabian Gulf siblings – UAE, KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), Bahrain and also Egypt since June 2016.

This research was conducted with mainstream school teachers in the Republic of Ireland to examine their use and knowledge of EBPs for students with autism.

The study reports on a group of EFL learners studying listening and speaking intensive course at Qassim University, KSA. The study reports on engaging the sample of the study in awareness-raising and practicing suprasegmentals of the English language. For achieving the objectives of the study and raising the participants' self-perceptions and efficacy in listening comprehension, and speech intelligibility a shadowing technique was implemented. The shadowing cycle is a comprehensive one built upon cognitive and technical norms. Results of the study showed a systematic pattern of participants and endorsement for native speakers, improvement in their perceptions of suprasegmentals, and listening comprehension as well. Furthermore, results revealed the participants' familiarity with suprasegmentals and their ability to implement them in their oracy.

The dataset originated from a graduate-level semester-long online course offered at a midwestern research university in the United States. This course - Online Learning Communities - focused on theories and practices of online learning communities (see Figure 2). Twenty graduate students enrolled in this course during a 14-week semester in spring 2014. This course was primarily comprised of inquiry-based online asynchronous discussions; discussion topics focused on theories, practices, and applications of online learning communities. Each discussion was framed within one week; topics were independent to each other. Keeping the same scale, the dataset in this research was comprised of all class-level discussions

This study was designed using quantitative-correlation approach to determine the level of readiness in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in terms of hardware, software and connectivity among five target high school teachers and the extent at which teachers integrate ICT in classroom teaching in terms of planning and designing learning environments; teaching, learning and curriculum; and assessment and evaluation. Furthermore, this research also identified significant difference of ICT readiness and ICT integration between gender. Moreover, the study explored whether there is a significant relationship between teachers’ ICT readiness and ICT integration in classroom teaching. Findings revealed that the level of readiness of teachers in utilizing ICT is very ready and the extent of integration to classroom teaching is often. Furthermore, findings revealed when data is grouped by gender, there is a significant difference in teachers’ ICT readiness but none is found in integration of ICT in the classroom. Moreover, a significant relationship was found in the readiness of teachers’ in using ICT and its extent of integration in classroom teaching.

This essay uses an example of Margaret Archer’s morphogenetic approach to sociodynamics to explore the explanatory gap indicated in the following propositions: 1. Individuals act and interact in variable ways from constantly shifting states-of-affairs in pursuit of variable and inconsistent interests; 2. Groups are made-up of individuals and their actions/interactions; 3. The vast majority of groups, current and historic, are stable. It contends that individuals’ choices resolve the problem: the analytical centrality of (neo-Bayesian) predictability to every choice no matter the context bridges the explanatory gap between individual actions and the large-scale sociological phenomena of social stability; in the same way, the analytical centrality of stability to groups and group structures allows us to identify the predictable paths of agency. This analytical dualism is used to identify the mutual morphogenesis of both sociodynamic ‘poles’ in the example…individual and collective, ‘micro’ and ‘macro’, agent and structure-culture, in a way applicable to a wide range of rigorous sociological inquiry.

Any inclusive comprehension of the inner nature, deep structures, and conflictual dynamism of capitalism is potentially a transformative cognitive Commons. Likewise, to achieve an inclusive understanding of the existing post-capitalist praxes and the imaginary visions of utopian futures require cumulative, collective, and cooperative learning. Thus, theories of capital and the post-/counter-capital alternatives can be generated and treated as the Commons. In this paper, I argue that although there is no single/exclusive line of historical progress beyond Capital, it is possible to create integral theoretical frameworks for orchestrating common actions across different alternative praxes. This becomes a strong possibility if our knowledge of the existing or imminent post-capitalist experiences is liberated from the disintegrating forces of the corporatized Eurocentric intellectual institutions. A transformative scholarship in collaboration with communities of struggle is therefore vitally needed today to generate educational Commons as a means for establishing organic unities among alternative praxes. This in itself is a prefigurative movement. The political goal should then be to go beyond the localized fragmented radical struggles without reducing their multiformity to challenge the totalizing effects of the capitalist markets and states. The process of building organic unities or what we may call ‘Commoning the alternatives’ requires ‘organic intellectuals’ to help post-capitalist initiatives to self-reflectively explore and address their limitations. Therefore, Commoning the knowledge and experiences of alternatives is a self-rectifying endeavor that translates paralyzing assortments into collective learning processes through which each movement becomes capable of traversing (rather than transcending) their self-inflicted ideological boundaries and thereby of developing integral macro-political projects to transcend capitalism; i.e. a Commonist project.

Although the discovery/creation of entrepreneurial opportunities are extremely important, the process of analysis, evaluation and screening of the ideas cannot be ignored. This study selects two companies from China as case to explore the mechanism between the evolution of cognitive logics and entrepreneurial opportunities. We find that the entrepreneur/entrepreneurial team will pay attention to the innovation, consensus and practicality of ideas, and the cognitive logics using different knowledge structures in the evaluation of ideas include three types of, i.e., single, parallel and natural, logics. Finally, this explores the deeper reasons for the mutual transformation between discovery opportunities and creation opportunities.
