Specifically, this paper studies main characteristics of starting a business in case entrepreneurs springs from a disadvantaged group of people. We use a an extremely large-scale sample, at worldwide level, including 1,563 observations. The time span covers the period 2004-2018. We investigate main characteristics of starting a business considering census (low and low-medium income) of the founder and gender. We perform one-way Anova and correlation statistics. Our results confirm that, despite policy makers’ efforts, underdog individuals still have poor possibilities of starting a business because of capital required. Difficulties are greater for women than for men. The main limits of the analysis are the small number of variables used to investigate social ventures and the explorative method, which does not allow detecting causal relationships. At a macro-level, the paper shows that policies for incentivizing social entrepreneurship and social development are still scarcely effective. This contribution extends the knowledge in a field of research which is rather new. We originally contribute by digging to light that differences in gender are a poor explanation for social entrepreneurship. Findings are largely reliable because of the massive number and time-coverage of observations. Routinely collected observations are deemed to be less biased than cross-sectional analysis. Thus, the study detects a salient path in social entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":65561,"journal":{"name":"美中经济评论:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47184530","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 Bologna process was expected to include a set of standards for the creation of independent accrediting bodies to provide accreditation for universities and higher colleges of education in the European Union, so that the work of students might be recorded and accepted as transferable among universities accepting the Bologna process. This paper provides initially a reflection on the nature and importance of accreditation standards. This follows consideration of the demands for transparency and accountability and consideration of the problems of recognizing transferable credits which are faced by higher educational institutions in Europe. The value and the benefits which derive from acceptable standards for institutional accreditation are identified. Identification is then followed by description of the five standards which will move the accreditation introverts in Europe to the more extravert approach being taken by universities in the United States and the rest of the world.","PeriodicalId":65561,"journal":{"name":"美中经济评论:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45407295","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}

In the framework of the development of a better type of public administration, major international organizations for the economic growth and prosperity, namely the OECD and the European Union, have provided Greece with guidelines and better policies. Recent government policies in education reflecting these guidelines have created an immense agitation among all educational partners, teachers, students, parents, and local authorities, as the latter seems not to understand the rationale behind them. The government rhetoric—though echoing different political areas every time—always includes the argument of the necessity of a planning process to respond to the volatility in schools’ external environment and to provide an appropriate basis for their internal management and leadership. This paper investigates the role of the international organizations of educational planning in designing governmental educational policies, their impact on the macro-level of recessionary Greece and the role of school management and leadership in coping with problems in Greek schools. Moreover, this paper explores other relational factors of the Greek reality that add to recession and put an extra burden on school praxis, thus making governmental policies and international guidelines difficult to apply and easy to provoke disillusionment to education partners. Finally, the paper discusses the peculiarities of the Greek educational landscape and proposes new paths for research that can facilitate the introduction of structural changes and further development.","PeriodicalId":65561,"journal":{"name":"美中经济评论:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44207374","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}

To achieve this goal, authors discussed the theoretical framework of the study, which included the following approaches: marketing research and marketing research steps. Authors then tried to find out the potential impact of marketing research concepts and principles on the planification and control process of marketing activity in Algerian companies through the selection of a sample composed of 15 companies operating in the industrial zones located in M’sila and Bordj Bou Arreridj in Algeria, by focusing on the category of managers; because they are the decision-makers in companies. For this purpose, authors adopted the questionnaire as an essential tool. And in order to obtain meaningful results, authors adopted the statistical method through a set of indicators, such as Arithmetic average, Student’s, Fisher, and Chevy tests. The study reached the achievement of an important part of the general hypothesis; it has been shown that there are acceptable preparations in the studied sample of managers regarding their recognition of the great role played by marketing research in the planification and control of marketing activity in their companies. Marketing research is a key element within the total field of marketing information. It is the consumer, customer, and public to the marketer through information which is used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems; to generate, refine and evaluate marketing actions; and to improve understanding of marketing as a process and of the ways in which specific marketing activities can be made more effective. Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues; designs the method for collecting information; manages and implements the data collection process; analyses the results; and comunicates the findings and their implications.

The advent of Industry 4.0 makes it necessary to transform sustainability challenges into competitive advantages for enterprises. Using a case study of a Chinese enterprise named GEM, this paper attempts to explore how sustainability challenges can be transformed to create competitive advantages. The research provides three conclusions: First, enterprises can transform sustainability challenges into competitive advantages by developing a sustainable business model, with environmental, social, and economic values; Second, a value proposition is the soul of the sustainable business model. Enterprises need not only focus on “how to do” but they must pay even more attention to “what to do”, so it is advisable to integrate a value proposition into the enterprise strategy and business process; Finally, a sustainable value proposition consists of sustainable economic, environmental, and social values, and their individual importance varies in sustainable business models for different industries where the demand for environmental and social value is increasingly important.","PeriodicalId":65561,"journal":{"name":"美中经济评论:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44989511","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}

In this type of job they sell any kinds of merchandises in order to fulfill the family necessity. This job is ideally and usually done by men for the reason of quite tiring and time-consuming for the achievement of the targeted income per day. In Bali however, the number of women who involved in this job is numerous. In the midst of her role as a wife as well as housewives, a woman has to prepare quite lots of things for the family, and she also has to work as a souvenir vendor. Usually, the women do this job during the day, exactly from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. This indicates that, besides as a woman she does her duty as a wife and a mother by doing almost all of the house or domestic work. In fact, there is an expectation of being equalized when a woman has the ability and opportunity to earn a living or as breadwinners. In her family this condition will bring prestige since the position of women is to follow the ideology of patriarchy (it is known as purusa in Hindu belief) and this makes the Balinese Hindu women are quite difficult to achieve gender equality. Nevertheless, the women in Bali (Balinese Hindu women) are able to achieve the position of being equalized by strengthening the economic base of the family, including as souvenir vendors.","PeriodicalId":65561,"journal":{"name":"美中经济评论:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47355549","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}
