In particular, there is no systematic review that explains the roles and functions of different linguistic elements in meaning construction. The purpose of this review paper is to develop an integrative theoretical framework that organizes existing research in a way that allows us to better understand how different linguistic processes shape the construction of meaning in sensemaking. First, we explain how a cognitive linguistic perspective elucidates how language provides the cognitive associations, schema, and frames used in sensemaking. Second, we discuss how a focus on the social practices of language use, as in rhetorical, narrative, or interactionist approaches, illuminates the patterns of meaning-making among organizational members in social interaction. Third, we explain how a focus on discourse helps us to understand how discursive structures enable or constrain sensemaking and thereby reproduce or transform systems of thought. This leads us to turn to the differences in these perspectives and suggest how they can be brought together in an integrative theoretical framework. Finally, we discuss the contributions of our framework and propose an agenda for future research focusing on the multifaceted role of language in sensemaking, intertextual and multimodal links in the language of sensemaking, the agentic and structural role of language in sensemaking, episodic and latent aspects of language use in sensemaking, and the role of power in discursive sensemaking.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"102 1","pages":"1807 - 1840"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85823739","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}

Considering the heterogeneous institutional logics that are embedded in a hybrid-mode standard-setting system, we distinguish between market- and government-led standard setting. Using data of 8,519 artificial intelligence–active firms engaging in Chinese artificial intelligence standard setting from 2010 to 2020, we demonstrate that firms with superior technological capability are more likely to engage in market-led versus government-led standard setting. This is due to divergent goals and norms in different types of standard setting. We also find that subfield technological diversity intensifies market competition, thereby improving the incentive of firms with superior technological capability to engage in market-led standard setting with the aim of shaping future technological trajectories. Additionally, government ownership relieves goal misalignment and mitigates firms’ concerns about technology expropriation, thus promoting firms’ engagement in government-led standard setting.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85681798","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}

While current research on EMS adoption is mostly focused on stand-alone Western firms, a marked uptake of adoption has unfolded in Eastern countries such as China, where business group affiliates are the dominant organizational form. This stark contrast between corporate interest and research attention has left a clear lacuna in our understanding of how systems that can reduce environmental impact diffuse across industrial settings. We argue that state, family, and foreign owners of affiliated firms show distinct propensities to adopt an EMS, owing to differences in legitimacy needs, ownership competencies, and group-level preferences to engage in systematic environmental practices. Logistic regressions based on data from listed Chinese business group affiliates between 2008 and 2019 show that state and family ownership negatively influence the likelihood of EMS adoption, whereas foreign control has a positive effect. More intragroup transactions exacerbate the low adoption propensity of family-owned firms. Our study contributes to the literatures on business groups and corporate environmentalism.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77366997","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}

Industries and companies have been forced to adapt their activity to various changes that have a significant impact on their competitiveness. The authors revise contemporary concept of business competitiveness. Competitiveness provides direction for long-term economic growth, contributes to increasing asset value and competitive advantages, attracts more investment. Therefore, this study aims to assess how well the existing literature on competitiveness. The competitive situation of the market allows for a company to retain its customers for the long term, and to this end, providing quick and flexible service and ensuring the availability of products are of key importance. Existing research is largely based on a variety of innovative models and indicators, with a relatively small difference being the assumed operational relationship of competitive factors at different scales. Many researchers describe competitiveness at the national level. Scott and Lodge (1985) describe competitiveness as the intrinsic ability of a product to create, produce, distribute, service and/or produce a product in international trade. The tumultuous beginning of the this century has brought new challenge to companies and industries. The main criteria and sources of competitiveness at the country, industry and company level are updating the connotations of competitiveness. Individual competitiveness frameworks and models were reviewed and classified. After, the paper includes bibliometric literature study on the competitiveness in the period 2021- 2023 and examines trends, as well as prospects for future research. The findings of the bibliometric analysis confirmed that research on competitiveness is mainly focused on the global market and company level.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81807747","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 sanctioning of actions of public administration entities is closely related to the administrative supervision of the activities of economic operators, which helps to ensure the harmonisation of the individual economic operators and economic sectors, as well as of public health, environmental protection, and other constitutional values. Administrative supervision and other control by public administration is defined in the academic literature as a public administration activity in which a public administration entity monitors the compliance of the behaviour of its subordinates with legal norms, and, in the event of non-compliance, responds with the measures for the correction or punishment of behaviour. Despite the importance of administrative supervision and the impact it has on economic operators, we do not find any mention of sanctioning requests from public administration authorities in either the Law on Administrative Proceedings or the Law on Public Administration. The article presents the variety of requests for sanction submitted by public administration entities to the administrative court, possible classifications of applications submitted to the court and peculiarities of individual types of requests. The article also presents an analysis of the statistical data on the last few years of the examination of applications for sanctioning of public administration authorities before the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court, which has exclusive competence for the examination of these applications, the diversity of this type of applications (administrative cases), the main procedural peculiarities and problems of the examination of administrative cases of this type in the court, and provides insights and recommendations.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76370708","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}

We base our definition of trust repair on the view that trust is “a psychological state comprising the intention to accept vulnerability based on the positive expectations of the intentions or behaviors of another.” We define trust repair as any increase in trust above the post-transgression level and complete repair as an increase in trust to the pre-transgression level. We provide an overview of the research designs incorporated in the trust-repair literature and make recommendations and cautions in measuring trust repair. We then summarize the emergence of the different mechanisms behind trust repair, namely, attributional, social equilibrium, and structural mechanisms, and review literature on the related verbal and behavioral repair tactics that can be employed after a transgression. We also provide a review on the process of trust repair, that is, the different stages that unfold to repair trust. We conclude by suggesting that future research should explore trust repair not only from an isolated tactics perspective but also from a broader pathway perspective. Finally, as trust repair occurs over time, future research should also explore the role of differing perceptions of time in the trust-repair process.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"363 - 399"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79191839","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}

However, research on constructive voice has developed in two separate streams, with studies adopting either a voicer- or a manager-centric perspective, thereby failing to provide a holistic understanding of constructive voice. This unilateral approach results in missed opportunities for scholars to understand the dyadic and dynamic nature of constructive voice. To address this limitation, we draw on social exchange theory to introduce a four-phase (felt voice, expressed voice, managerial responses to voice, and relational voice outcomes) dyadic model of constructive voice. By conceptualizing constructive voice as a dyadic exchange between voicers and managers, we detail the ongoing processes in which employees initiate voice and managers subsequently endorse and/or implement voicers’ input. We also introduce feedback loops to highlight the dynamic nature of constructive voice over time and explain the consequences of repeated constructive-voice exchange processes on relational outcomes. Finally, we review the literature, summarize gaps and opportunities, and provide directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"321 1","pages":"430 - 473"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73356072","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}

Since technologies are sensitive to time a time frame for the research was set from 2020 until 2022. Only articles in English and Lithuanian were analysed. In total there were 75 articles used for the basis of the research in “Web of Science” database. According to their content, these articles were categorized into 5 sections: ICT (information and communication technologies) and neural networks; New business ventures; Creativity and education; Intellectual property rights and blockchain technology; Digitization, streaming. Research of scientific articles was a result of a compound search of keywords music industry and technologies. In order to widen the search keywords were used with a logic operator “or”. Scientific review of the articles showed that technologies affect the music business in these areas: lessened limitations, satisfied customer needs, digital economy force, overtaking old systems, collaboration, staying relative and creative, fighting against homogenization, digital education, increased safety and security, increased financial gain and market share, autonomous and transparent intellectual rights, eliminating piracy, content accessibility, artistic relevance. In order to carry out representative and valid research in music business, more research has to focus on the global aspects of how this industry operates. This article is a steppingstone in that direction showing which aspects of the business are discussed at the moment thus enabling other scientists to start narrowing the gap and provide more in-depth research. The findings suggest that research towards providing solutions to music industry participants on how to effectively deal with fast approaching technological advancements is necessary.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83194699","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}

Central to these debates is the idea that, as a field, we need greater confidence in the cumulative body of scientific knowledge created by our research. To make progress toward this goal, we need processes that minimize the publication of flawed results emanating from honest errors; insufficient training; and, in the worst of cases, fraud. Many stakeholders are pressing for initiatives related to these challenges. For example, some journals, and those responsible for their oversight, debate the merits of code and data sharing, whereas others are implementing policies that encourage or even require such practices (for a review, see Dosch & Martindale, 2020). Similarly, some grant-awarding organizations require a level of code and/or data transparency in exchange for funding (for a discussion and examples, see Global Innovation Fund, 2021; Metzenbaum, 2021). There is also a growing recognition that replications are integral to the knowledge generation process (e.g., Köhler & Cortina, 2021). Advocacy organizations have also arisen to facilitate the warehousing of code and data related to research efforts (e.g., FIVES Project; Center for Open Science).

In addition, the empirical studies of public attitude conducted so far analyse it abstractly, dividing the attitude into positive,\u0000negative and neutral. The significant effects of the brand value crisis drive the need for more detailed research, i.e. to analyse the public's attitude\u0000through the components of emotions, cognition and behaviour. Such a study would allow us to understand better the expression of public attitudes\u0000against the background of brand crisis and media information about the crisis and how public attitudes, brand crisis and media information interact. It\u0000should also be noted that each crisis is unpredictable and different, so each investigated case of a crisis becomes another source of knowledge and crisis\u0000prevention. This study aims to evaluate the effect of media on public attitude during the brand value crisis. This study uses the media content quantitative\u0000analysis method to examine the media effect on public attitude during the reputational crisis of the paper and wood industry company group in the\u0000Baltic countries. The research revealed that during the brand value crisis, the media is dominated by information that emphasises immorality. The brand\u0000value crisis has had a negative impact on public attitudes through all three of its components. The established unfavourable public attitude towards the\u0000brand was demonstrated by feedback, causing negative consequences for the brand. The research findings allow the authors to confirm the obvious\u0000relationships between the brand value crisis, media information reflecting immorality, and public emotions, cognition, and behaviour. The study revealed\u0000the case of a brand value crisis that provoked a strong public reaction. Public attitudes have been analysed through its components (emotions, cognition,\u0000and behaviour), thus making it clearer to identify preventive communication activities and avoid the larger-scale development of the brand value crisis.\u0000This study provides a basis for the theoretical development of crisis management and expands the discussion of the crisis’s effect on public attitude.\u0000The research findings may provide insights into corporate crisis communication and be prerequisites for sound brand communication solutions in public,\u0000by anticipating the possible development of public attitudes and seeking to control them. The interaction between the symbolic value and the effects of\u0000the brand, and the emotions, cognition and behaviour of the public, which was formed with the dominance of media information reflecting the\u0000immorality of the brand value crisis, was established.
