Encouraging innovation is becoming more important for countries in order to sustain economic growth, performance and competitiveness in a world of fierce marketplace competition.

Furthermore, a qualitative approach to generating data has been used. T
Corruption has been around for centuries. Cross-border direct investments just for decades. Recent empirical research has found, that countries with rising corruption witness a decline in foreign direct investments. Poland is a paradox in this matter as both corruption and foreign investments are rising. This paper tries to find an answer to that question through examining the relationship between
EVs increase demand for critical raw materials (CRMs). Many of the CRMs are mined in just a handful of countries, raising security concerns among business and policymakers. Lithium is particularly precarious due to its high geographic supply concentration, high demand growth rate and few near term substitutes. This study conducts a bottom-up assessment of European lithium extraction projects. The
Academic research concerning how to determine the power situation in a supply chain where an investment product supplier is involved did not exist. Therefore new models has been developed that analyses the power relations and maps out the power situation in a supply chain. In the future these models can be applied on similar cases by modifying the included parameters. The new models show that case
Innovation has been identified as one of the key factors for economic growth long ago. However, the emergence of “knowledge century” further strengthened the role of the concept since proper management of the knowledge is essential to make the best out of the innovative capacity of the companies as well as the countries. This necessitates a balanced intellectual property rights (IPR) systems, sinc

Despite the central role played by human capital in entrepreneurship, little is known about how employees in entrepreneurial firms are compensated and incentivized. We address this gap in the literature by studying 18,935 non-CEO compensation contracts across 1,809 privately held venture-backed companies. Our key finding is that employee compensation varies with the degree to which VCs versus foun
Both the European Union (EU) Directive implementing the OECD’s Pillar Two and the proposal for a debt-equity bias reduction allowance (DEBRA) feature rules that target and limit interest deduction as the need for these still exists. However, in case C-484/19 Lexel from 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) struck down the Swedish targeted interest deduction legislation of 2013 ap

Distribution of consumer goods, especially groceries, poses a number of challenges to the use of e-commerce. Challenges that must be solved in order to find a justified solution. This paper will present and discuss a new researc

The responsible practices of leading businesses have a role in the rule-making process by clarifying general, flexible concepts such as ‘due diligence’, ‘reasonability’, ‘foreseeability’ which all have a bearing on findings of corporate ‘negligence’.

Retrospective analysis of agile projects can support identification of issues through team reflection and may enable learning and process improvements. Basing retrospectives primarily on experiences poses a risk of memory bias as people may remember events differently, which can lead to incorrect conclusions. This bias is enhanced in project retrospectives which cover a longer period compared to i
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the current state of research in the context of management control systems to support innovation by developing a theoretical framework covering relevant concepts and conducting a case study accordingly. Methodology: For the research method, a qualitative, deductive approach was used, containing a literature review, the development of a theor
