The topic of IT/IS investment has been intensely researched for the last four decades. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of IT/IS investment literature published from 1983 to 2020. Totally 766 journal papers published in 419 Scopus-indexed journals by 1,600 unique authors, were analyzed using R Programming language. Both impact and content analysis, including significant, influential aspects (e.g., authors, affiliations, countries, keywords, and journals), research streams, and themes, were included in the analysis

The research aimed to develop the process of the innovative products that can be applied to food and beverage products with a systematic review of the literature, considering various ideas and theories. The study found that they are discussed in a wide gap. Next, the study aimed to explore the acceptance of the food and beverage innovative product development model. Nowadays, the product life cycle cannot go on as the market changes, so there are limitations, led to create the model which is divided into 3 Phases, Phase 1 Product Design Development, Phase 2 Prototype and Phase 3 Industry Scale and Commercialization. Then, the research results explore that the acceptance of the model using the focus group method. It is known that many entrepreneurs of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) did not develop a systematic product, made it failed in a situation with a lot of competitors in the market and difficulty adapting and solving problems. When entrepreneurs have studied step by step of the food and beverage innovative product development model, it makes easier to understand and have more direction for product development to bring about new products or processes in lower costs and increased income. There is a proper use of time and save resources, including raw materials, personnel, as well as reducing environmental destruction and using full efficiency resources. This model is role as a circle can be made more products line from the same resources which is back to create from the detail of the product design and also, can be start a new thing on the concept development.

Most research on the microeconomic assessment of the effects of anti-competitive practices relies on real developments, which follow the intervention of the competition authority, compared with what would have happened in the absence of such an intervention. Such a comparison makes it possible to assess the progress made by the objective of competition policy, because of public intervention. The main objective of applying competition policy is to protect consumer welfare through sanctioning infringements of competition rules and discouraging future anti-competitive behaviour. Thus, it is possible to maintain equal competitive terms on product markets for the benefit of the final consumer. The paper presents an analysis of the evaluations of the competition policy application and the impact of the competition policy on the final consumer.

There are many research studies on meeting destination competitiveness and site selection criteria, however, the empirical research of site selection attributes in developing countries like Thailand is still to be identified. This paper aims to investigate site selection attributes and present a conceptual framework to verify the importance of tangible attributes i.e. accessibilities, meeting facilities and additional conference opportunities. We also assess the intangible attributes such as destination information, local support, and site environments. All these factors will enhance Thailand’s competitiveness as an International and domestic meeting destination. The exploratory research method, combining in-depth interview and focus groups has been used with 12 local experts who specialize in meeting planning within Thailand. The literature review pre-determines site selection attributes included in meeting planner’s decision-making processes to design a qualitative interview. Each interviewee is asked to rank the importance of 44 criteria’s using a 1-7 scale (7 as highest importance and 1 as least importance. The findings will be used to compare similarities and differences with prior research. Consequently, the authors will develop a conceptual framework for meeting site selection criteria for inbound and domestic MICE in Thailand. According to the in-depth interviews, the accumulated 44 attributes are found to be aligned with previous literature with an average score of 5.2 out of 7.0. The 3 most important attributes are:1) Accommodation facilities 2) Accessibilities 3) Extra-conference opportunities. Further, focus group interviews suggest 17 new attributes, which falls into 1) Local support 2) Destination Information 3) Other criteria, respectively. The research aims for two objectives 1) Determine the importance of site selection attributes that will affect the meeting planner’s decision-making process. 2) Compare the similarities and differences of site selection criteria with those found in previous researches using perception of local experts from corporate meeting planners in Thailand.

. This paper aims to stimulate debate among researchers and practioners within the process and development of innovations and the question of how to support future entrepreneurs through education. It is argued that universities play a major role within the innovation ecosystem. In fact, universities can be regarded as central partners due to their mission to teach and to research. Universities are increasingly initiating and promoting entrepreneurial thinking and acting of their students and contribute significantly to their students’ qualification as founders. Entrepreneurship education and the provision of facilities and services for young founders play an increasing role in promoting innovation as a knowledge-based output. Many studies have widely recognised that entrepreneurship education has great impacts on an individual, organisational, and societal level. It contributes to creating new jobs to economic success as well as to globalization, innovation and renewal. The present study examines the question of how universities - using one specific university as an example - can support the start-up activities of their students in order to develop and establish an entrepreneurial mindset and culture over time. This paper looks at two empirical studies: first, a recent survey from 2019 and second, a survey from 2016, allowing comparative statements over time. As a conclusion, the authors recommend a course of action to other universities to encourage and strengthen the start-up efforts of their students. Only by offering entrepreneurship education and creating an infrastructure for innovative ideas of their students and staff alike, can universities become serious innovation partner.

: Over the last five years, various innovations have come forth, giving way to the use of information technology-based services. This has contributed to the grand development of various start-ups in various fields, including financial innovation. The current pandemic has harsher emphasised the need to develop various online financial products and services globally. However, the transition of the humanity’s development to an advanced technological level also requires a specific training level. This, by large, depends on the uneven level of the countries’ development, the readiness degree of the society and their absorption capacity. This article aims to assess the factors that might halt or trigger the development of these innovations in the Southeast European countries, to determine the readiness degree to apply financial innovations, and to estimate the risks of using them. Research methods used : comparative analysis

Digital Transformation forces changes in every area of the economy, including the labor market. Social partners like trade unions are the link between the employee and the employer on the labor market. The main task of trade unions is to support employees by negotiating collective agreements and work regulations, as well as interventions in cases of breaking labor law. The issue of trade union activity in the era of progressing digital transformation is poorly recognized in the literature. The aim of the article is to identify and assess the impact of digital transformation on the activities of trade unions. The applied research method is direct interviews with the use of a questionnaire. The results of empirical research make it possible to formulate conclusions regarding the actions taken by trade unions to adapt to changes in the labor market resulting from technological progress, the need for changes in their functioning and barriers to adaptation activities.
