TCI 2016 Regional governance and leadership: 3 Dutch casesTCI Network
This document summarizes a presentation about regional governance and leadership models in three Dutch regions: Brainport Twente, Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, and Brainport Eindhoven. It finds that the regions have different network models for governance based on their history and resources: Brainport Twente uses separate "silos", Brainport Eindhoven a dense "beehive" structure, and Amsterdam a looser "flocks" model. Leadership is sometimes lacking but can be effective if connective, and balance is needed between bottom-up and top-down approaches. Further research on multiple helix strategic networks and their effectiveness is warranted.

Innovation is one of the key enablers for European enterprises to compete in global markets. The term ‘innovation’ is constantly used in speeches of managers, politicians, public administrators. However, in the large majority of cases, the term is used as a generic 'place holder', a sort of container whose actual content is left to the intuition. For this reason it is important to deeply elaborate, specifically on the notion of Enterprise Innovation, to better understand the essence and meaning of innovation.
Innovation stems from a virtuous mix of intuition, creativity, and a solid background knowledge. Each innovation endeavour has its own characteristics, largely different from previous experiences. It falls in the category of ‘wicked problems’, i.e., problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, fuzzy, changing requirements. Nevertheless, there are recurring patterns and it is possible to conceive systematic methods, and supporting information systems, to promote and manage innovation avoiding the risk to close it in a ‘cage’, risking depressing the fundamental creativity and fantasy. This talk will present an innovative framework for enterprise innovation that includes a methodology and an innovation management platform which is based on an generic behavioural pattern (i.e., independent of the industrial sector), a strong knowledge orientation, and an innovation monitoring system funded on a number of Key Performance Indicators, to constantly keep the progress of the innovation project under control.
Public Policy and SME Internationalisation - OECDOECD CFE
This document summarizes key points about public policy and SME internationalization. It notes that while SMEs represent the majority of exporting firms, they account for a small proportion of export value and have lower export shares than large firms. There are positive links between SME productivity and exporting. Typical policy interventions provide finance, information, skills training, and market access support. The document recommends shifting support more toward capability building. It also suggests new digital-focused interventions like online export advice and staff digital skills training. Overall, integrated packages of graded support are needed to better address the gaps in internationalization between SMEs and larger firms.

The document discusses the development of a knowledge graph-based pre-certification service called beCert that helps aquaculture producers navigate the certification process. It aims to address three pain points producers face: the unpredictability of aquaculture production, the heavy paperwork burden of certification, and the complexity of dealing with different certification requirements. beCert extracts knowledge from certification standards to generate compliance reports and simplify documentation management. A pilot with a Taiwanese fishery cooperative demonstrated how beCert could streamline the process and enable remote auditing using blockchain technology. The service has potential for customization to help other industries with regulatory compliance as well.

This document analyzes economic trends in Mongolia from 2010-2019 using GDP, employment, and average wage data from the country's National Statistical Organization. It finds that while livestock and retail industries remain important, employment is shifting to construction, finance, and processing. Average wages have grown the most in construction, ICT, and processing industries, with mining wages being twice as high. The document also examines regional economic specialization through a location quotient analysis for 2009 and 2019, finding that specialization has remained steady in mining areas but declined elsewhere, such as in Darkhan. This decline may be partly due to internal migration driving urbanization toward Ulaanbaatar and a lack of developed regional supply chains.
Cambodia's economic growth path and competitivenessTCI Network
Cambodia experienced robust economic growth over the past two decades thanks to sound macroeconomic policies that attracted investment. However, total factor productivity has moderated and competitiveness has eroded as wages have risen. While investment continues to support growth, employment growth has slowed as the agriculture sector sheds jobs. The economy contracted in 2020 due to the pandemic but is projected to recover in 2021, though sustaining growth will require improving competitiveness through diversification.
Mr. Peang Ratana is a freelance researcher and lecturer who has taught at several universities in Cambodia. He discusses how digital tools like Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, Google Meet, Slido, Facebook Live, Telegram, and Messenger can be used for eLearning and distance education. These platforms allow for online surveys, interactive question and answer sessions, video conferencing, live streaming, and messaging. Kahoot is also mentioned as a game-based learning platform that brings engagement to online education.
The document discusses the Philippine FinTech landscape. It notes that the Philippines recorded sharp economic declines in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which small businesses bore much of the negative impact from lockdowns. It provides an overview of the Philippine FinTech cluster map and key players like banks, payment providers, regulators, infrastructure providers, and consumers. The document also summarizes the country's FinTech history, regulatory approach, opportunities and challenges for further growth.

The document discusses the new dynamics of competitiveness in Asia. It notes that Asia faces challenges from COVID-19, China's rising influence through initiatives like Belt and Road and Made in China 2025, tensions in international trade, the formation of the RCEP trading bloc, pressures to transition to digital and green economies, and increasing development levels in some countries. Asian nations must navigate relationships with both China and Western powers, while addressing domestic issues like pandemic recovery, supply chain reconfiguration, infrastructure development, and responding to global challenges through local solutions.
1) The document outlines a study that assessed the reliability and validity of students' self-reported learning outcomes against stated course learning outcomes.
2) Preliminary results found the outcome-specific questionnaires to have high reliability. Most courses saw significant increases in student self-ratings from beginning to end.
3) Further analysis is still needed to determine if end-of-course self-ratings correlate with assessments of student task performance against learning outcomes.
Creating Shared Value: What Makes a Gamechanger?TCI Network
This document discusses creating shared value and identifying shared value gamechangers. It begins by explaining the motivation for studying shared value impact and looking for gamechangers. It then defines creating shared value as making a profit while delivering a social need. The document discusses why shared value gamechangers that fundamentally change an industry should be identified. It proposes developing a framework to assess the impact of shared value initiatives on firms and society. Finally, it reviews literature on shared value and shared measurement to develop such a framework.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

CONCLUSIONS
Summative evaluation permitted to
access the cluster effectiveness
Counterfactual impact evaluation
clearly quantified the cluster effect
that wouldn’t exist without the cluster
intervention
Inovcluster was effective in its contribution to improve the internationalization process of the
local business as seen in the number of post meeting contacts
If the international project wouldn’t have existed the business would remain without improve
their exportations and just focusing in the operational management
Inovcluster was effective in its contribution to improve the innovation process of the local
business as seen in the number of reunions and contacts between Research centers and
busness and for the number of innovation registered
Without innovation promotion business wouldn’t launch so many new products and/or the
new products might not be acepted

No analysis of the origin of the impact
effect
No analysis of the impact dimension

Summative - whether the policy actions had a
significant effect on its target groups (results) and on the wider
economy (impacts).
Counterfactual - quantification of effects and tries to answer
the question: what would the outcome have been in the absence
of the intervention?
