This study aims to delve into the main figures of traditional medicine as well as the way in which they manage the care pathways in Nampula City. This treatment must be framed within a very specific cultural, cosmological, and ethical context, that of the Makhuwa culture, the largest language group in Mozambique. The research was carried out through direct observation work between 2015 and 2018, with the advantage that the author is a Nampula-born researcher and a native Emakhuwa speaker. This circumstance allowed her to understand the dialogues and interviews done on site without the need for interpreters. The result was that important local cultural elements, together with the almost total absence of modern hospital facilities and conventional doctors made the city of Nampula an urban center where traditions of medical care related to traditional knowledge still prevail, and where caregivers perform social, pedagogical and medical functions.\u0000Keywords: local knowledge, Emakhuwa Culture, medical dialogue, diseases","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127227658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The changing trend in customer accessibility to information on product availability and performance driven by Information and Communications Technology (ICT); has emboldened manufacturing firms to modify their NPD process in line with customers’ needs and wants for the ultimate purpose of satisfying the end users of their products. The aim objective of this study is to examine the effect of new product development on organizational performance, additional challenging issues include; the far-reaching effect of market research, specific allocation of budget for NPD by manufacturing firms and effective training and re-training of personnel for Research and Development (R&D). The study evaluates the concept of new product development and organizational performance by adopting the dynamic capability theory. The descriptive research methodology was adopted in which 302 questionnaires were administered to respondents who were basically staff, distribution intermediaries and end users of products in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State and Port Harcourt Rivers State.; also, comprehensive interview was conducted on areas where the questionnaire could not cover effectively. The result of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between New Product Development and organizational performance. The study recommended that key towards outstanding performance by manufacturing firms ‘lie in their ability to effectively train their personnel to conduct effective market research to identify the preferences of the consumer, and deliver products that satisfy their exact need, as a pre-requisite for sustainable performance.\u0000Keywords: new product development, organizational performance, research & development, and customer","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132056046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This arose, essentially, due to the lack of objectivity at the time of classification, a process that always involves strong subjectivity. In the current paradigm, more and more organizations need to implement performance evaluation models based on strategic competencies, to fulfill established objectives to cement the creation of an organization's value.\u0000In most companies and organizations, the performance appraisal process is a tool used annually, serving only to monitor the performance of employees. If a company or organization wants to go beyond the control function, it must see the performance evaluation process as a component of performance management throughout the year. This should create conditions so that the activities carried out by the employees and the results of these, effectively contribute to achieving the organization's objectives. For the same author, it is a process that seeks to identify, observe, measure, and develop the performance of individuals, having as focus the agreement with the objectives of the organization. The purpose of performance appraisal is to obtain better results in the organizations or teams and individuals within the organization, understanding and management performance within an agreement, the structure of planned goals, standards, and competence requirements.\u0000Keywords: Performance appraisal, evaluation, human resources, organization, management","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133175715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This happens because this ideology only focuses on equitable development by focusing only on economic growth factors. Even so, we can assume developmental deviations are common because when applied in the field, we cannot study them completely thoroughly. However, based on the conditions above, we can take the most optimal approach to formulate an optimal mutually dependent and beneficial relationship between the community and the government as stipulated in legal policy. Therefore, this paper examines how the political economy and the role of the state shape the development of Papua in Special Autonomy System. With FGD data and research from the literature, we use a descriptive-qualitative strategy. According to the findings of the study, the background of economic exploitation in Papua and the sustainability of nature as a production space has a paradoxical relationship, where the result of increasing the economic value of mining activities is conducted by PT. Freeport which is inversely proportional to the loss of green open space. This results in damage to living ecosystems. As a result, the sustainability of the Papuan people's livelihood in the future is threatened. Based on this, the author provides the results of his study as a solution for government policy makers to provide recommendations so that the government prioritizes human-centered development strategies. This study concludes that \"capacity building\" is needed by humans in order to become the subject of development. With this framework in mind, the people of Papua can optimize development in their area more effectively because the process is carried out through social development that emphasizes education, knowledge, and skills.\u0000Keywords: development projects, economic exploitation, people centered development, special autonomy region","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121324750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the search for optimal solutions, often takes place on the 'living fabric' of organisations. The current situation is no different. On the one hand (in the face of geopolitical instability in Europe), we observe the fragility of organisations or hitherto applied solutions (acute disruptions: of supply chains - e.g., of highly processed goods; of services - e.g., related to global links in the banking system; or related to reorientation in the energy system). The need for rapid (often radical) change in the organisation proved to be a condition for its survival. On the other hand, we note a number of effects indicating the high competence of companies, operating mainly in highly developed economies (such as Europe), in terms of their flexibility and resilience to highly volatile disruptions (which are undoubtedly present in Europe). The search for effective ways/methods to increase organisations' level of preparedness for future crises and build its capacity to turn crises into opportunities has become more important than ever.","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122331806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a new perspective in relation to knowledge management in various organizational means, whether through the search for innovation or the improvement of its processes. Thus, to calculate the state of the art and track scientific and technological knowledge in the COVID-19 spectrum, the keyword “Coronavir*” was used in the PubMed and Espacenet databases. Data were processed by Carrot Search Lingo4G® and PatentInspiration®. In the Pubmed database, 1,000 documents were retrieved, which were organized into 81 groups of sub-themes, with emphasis on the sub-theme “treatment during coronavirus disease”, with 188 articles (18.8% of the total). Regarding technological innovation, China and the United States were the countries that filed the most patent applications, especially in 2020 and 2021, corresponding to 68.5% of the total. The first 4 (four) applicants with the highest number of patents were Pfizer, Gilead Sciences Inc., Center Nat Rech, Crucell Holland. The results obtained over a period of time demonstrate a partnership between universities and companies towards the fight against the pandemic. The tools for identifying, extracting and processing data (or free), are needed efficiently in the management of scientific and technological knowledge in COVID -19, thus being able to contribute to more assertive decision-making at various organizational levels.\u0000Keywords: Big Data, COVID-19, Knowledge Management, coronavirus patents","PeriodicalId":272134,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Management in the 21st Century","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127472314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
