The R&D has been recognized as critical method to take competitiveness by not only companies but also nations with its value creation such as patent value and new product. Therefore, R&D has been a decision maker’s burden in that it is hard to decide how much money to invest, how long time one should spend, and what technology to develop which means it accompanies resources such as budget, time, and manpower. Although there are diverse researches about R&D evaluation, business factors are not concerned enough because almost all previous studies are technology oriented evaluation with one R&D technology based. In that, we early proposed R&D business aspect evaluation model which consists of nine business model components. In this research, we develop a simulation model and system evaluating a company or industry’s R&D portfolio with business model point of view and clarify default and control parameters to facilitate evaluator’s business validity work in each evaluation module by integrate to one screen.

The article considers the process of origin in 1920–1924 of the nomenclature system in the Soviet Belarus as an immanent phenomenon of the Soviet model of modernization of society with its inherent monopolization of power of the monopolistically ruling Communist party. These issues are considered in more detail in relation to public authorities and management, where the nomenclature principle of substitution of elections by appointment is most clearly implemented. The party nomenclature, on the one hand, was a logical product of this model; on the other hand, it allowed it not only to persist for a long time, but also to solve both strategic and tactical development tasks with varying degrees of efficiency. The author comes to the conclusion that by the end of 1924, all the basic prerequisites for the organizational design of the classical Soviet nomenclature system were created. Firstly, during this period, the principle of monopoly of the Bolshevik party in determining the personnel composition of state authorities and management, including the occupation of elected positions, was consolidated. Secondly, a system of accounting and distribution bodies for all party cadres is being formed and this mechanism is actually being extended to all power structures. Third, a list of positions is being formed that, from the point of view of the highest party and Soviet leadership, enable it to manage and control all spheres of societyʼs life in its movement towards the socialist ideal.

Information systems using computer technology in the era of globalization have experienced very rapid developments in almost all business fields. The data processing process becomes faster, the information generated is more accurate, and has an important role for the progress and development of a company or agency when carrying out its work activities so that it is more structured and time efficient. Notary Office and PPAT Muhammad Hanafi, S.H. is a company engaged in services. The information system running, until now, has not been computerized. Data recording is still written in books so it requires a lot of Manpower, the process of searching for data and printing reports takes a long time because it is storage cabinets, data is also vulnerable to damage and loss. The research objective is to design and develop this information system to be computerized in order to solve existing problems. The research method uses the Waterfall Model Development Life Cycle (SDLC), while the data collection uses interviews, observation and literature study. The system design in this study employs the decomposition function, DFD and ERD. The research findings are in the form of desktop applications implement Java and MySQL. The test results using black box testing successfully display the main menu of the application for further manage by office staff. The result is expected to be able to provide a convenience to office staff when processing client data and resolving existing problems.

Databases have been established for a long time as an efficient and reliable technology for organizing and storing data in almost all areas of human activity. In addition to their widespread use in the operational activities of practically all enterprises and organizations, they are also sources of data for research and analysis of economic processes. Databases were developed rapidly in the second half of the 20th century and as a result relational databases emerged, which are an extremely powerful tool for storing and accessing data. Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the extraordinary increase in the volume of stored and processed information, as well as the significant part of unstructured and semi-structured information, a new type of databases, named NoSQL databases, have emerged and developed. The article attempts to define the characteristics of different types of databases, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages and outlining their areas of application on this basis. The trends in the development of the databases from the point of view of the author are also presented.

The tourist sector, despite the present severe constraints imposed by the sanitary emergence, can be considered as an important component of almost all countries’ economies. In Italy agriturism, in particular, has been experiences a continuously rising trend in recent years. Clearly, such great interest towards these businesses also calls for a deep attention by an energy point of view, in sight of an energy efficiency improvement, hence a lowering of the pressure that such facilities exert to the natural environment. On the other hand, the European Union has been engaged, for a long time, in awarding the tourist accommodations environmental excellence brands, like the EU Ecolabel. Unfortunately, the achievement of such excellence brands requires the capability of managing complex energy and environmental data, which is often not the prerogative of people running such facilities. In order of contributing to overcome this difficulty, and with the aim of helping the addressing of agritourism towards a Nearly Zero Energy path, we propose here a simple approach that does not require the modelling and simulation of the energy behaviour of an agritourism, being essentially based on the application of easy-to-use ARERA (Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy Networks and Environment) datasheets scheme. On purpose, an application of the method, involving two typical Sicilian agritourism, is presented. The obtained results showed the viability of the proposed methodology, although the need of an update and/or replacement of some technical datasheets arose.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to determine the firms, innovations in the cases that have successfully overcome a decline and also to assess whether these innovations can be considered as business model innovations.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the data was collected from analyzing four case studies in different businesses through semistructured interviews with relevant internal experts.FindingsThe findings revealed that the innovation that had been taken was related to the constructs of their existing business model. Therefore, the business model innovation functions as a critical practice of turnaround strategy in the decline period.Research limitations/implicationsThe article provides the most important business model constructs in each business through which the related firm could overcome a decline in their life cycle. Since this paper has been studied in different unrelated businesses and due to the qualitative research nature, generalization cannot be ensured.Practical implicationsFrom the practical and managerial point of view, this article is useful as it defines the most important business model components in each industry and based on it, the similar companies can do innovation in their business model. It also helps the related companies in the same industry to develop and design their specific turnaround strategies.Originality/valueSo far, rare research has seen business model innovation as a turnaround strategy, and it can be claimed that till now, no research has been conducted in Iran in this context. Therefore, the business practitioners can employ innovation on the components of their existing business model to overcome a decline.

Historically, statistics arose from the needs of society in obtaining information about the state of production, markets for goods and services, labor, as well as from the need to analyze the data for further socioeconomic development. For a long time, statistics have been understood as the science of collecting, processing, and analyzing quantitative indicators on the dynamics of mass phenomena and processes, which is the most important tool for implementing state plans and tasks.One of the classics of statistics, V. Pokrovsky wrote as early as 1874: “... Statistical figures are the best way to verify the correctness and appropriateness of measures used for public improvement. ... But for statistics to be of such importance, it is necessary to use its data with extreme caution and impartiality. ... The widest variety of opinions exists on almost all public issues, and each opinion tries to find support in statistical facts and figures. ... It is not the fault of statistics that every political party uses statistics for its own purposes, that statistics support the most unjust and absurd opinions”. [1]In our time, this statement has not lost its relevance, because very often, using the same statistical indicators, politicians, economists, scientists to justify their point of view, give directly opposite results. But is there a clear understanding of statistics in modern society? What is the value of statistics? What is the statistical literacy of the population? Do people need to learn the language of numbers? In the proposed paper, the author sets out the view on these issues and invites you to join the discussion of the issues raised.

The idea of the 'saviour' has been an interesting subject matter for many specialists for a very long time. Its interset can be attributed to many reasons, probably the most important one is religion. Allusions to the saviour seem to be present in almost all religions, heavenly or earthly. It has been noted that even the pagan tribes believe in the existence of a saviour as a part of their cultures and traditions. Another reason stems back to man's weakness as a living creature and his constant need for a natural, or supernatural, power to save him from misery, oppression, injustice, ...etc. The saviour could be a superbeing or human being. For instance, Beowulf is looked at as a saviour, and King Arthur was, for a long time, thought to be a saviour that one day he will come and save his people, and many legends have been written in this respect. The aim of this study is to highlight the 'saviour' as a concept in Samuel Becket's play Waiting for Godot and explore its interpretations as tackled by two 'schools': The Theatre of the Absurd and Existentialism, then compare it to the concept of the saviour from Islam's point of view. The study falls into four chapters. Chapter one is devoted to outline the 'saviour' as a term, the belief in the presence of the saviour in general, and how the idea of the saviour is looked at by different writers and philosophers. Chapter two highlights the principles of the Theatre of the Absurd that are concerned with the 'saviour' and how those principles are reflected in the play. It also shows how 'waiting' becomes adherent to the word 'saviour'. Thereafter, the existentialism philosophy is examined since the principles of the Theatre of the Absurd are closely related to the it. Chapter three is spared for showing the concept of the saviour in  Islam in general, and in the Shia sect in specific. In order to accomplish this aim, some Quranic verses and Hadiths (reports of  Prophet Mohamed's teachings collected after His death) are presented as examples to show the belief in the existence of the Saviour (Mahdi) in Islam. Finally, the study ends with chapter four which, in the light of the research findings, compares the image of the saviour in Waiting for Godot and Islam.

The concept of random set, though vaguely known for a long time (possibly since Buffon's needle problem), did not develop until Robbins [25, 26] provided for the first time a solid mathematical formulation of this concept and investigated relationships between random sets and geometric probabilities. Later on (in a different context) this concept gave rise to a more general concept of set-valued function in topology, and applications were also found in several areas such as economics (see, for example, Aumann[3] and Debreu[10]) and control theory (see, for example, Hermes [13]), among others. Recently in two independent formulations, D. G. Kendall [17] and Matheron[21] provided a comprehensive mathematical theory of this concept influenced by the geometric probability point of view. Actually, much of the research in this area falls under the heading of stochastic geometry (see, for example, M. G. Kendall and P. A. P. Moran [18]). The D. G. Kendall and Matheron theories have been compared and ‘reconciled’ by Ripley [24]. In the past few years random sets have been investigated as extensions of random variables and random vectors, and in this framework the problems of deriving limit theorems have received a great deal of attention. This approach is benefiting greatly from probability results in Banach spaces.

In the article, there is presented the description of the algorithm of the operating process of the simulation model characteristics’ determination realized in the transport system. The simulation model of the means of transport’s operating process has been developed based on the that process’s mathematical model (semi-Markov model). Due of the assumed principles, the constructed model can be applied for the purposes of assessment and control of the operating process because of criterion of different types. Analysis of performance’s assessment of the operating means of transport is one of the ways of the possibilities of correct realization of the assigned transportation tasks in the transport systems. The simulation model of the operating process presented in the work, makes it possible to assess performance of the transport system’s operation from the point of view of the selected assessment criteria: availability of the means of transport and the unit income generated in the process’s modelling conditions. Based on the results of the tests conducted in the real system of the means of transport operating system, the model’s input data have been developed and simulation experiments have been conducted. As an effect, there have been determined the exemplary values of the analyzed characteristics of the transport system’s operation performance analyses.
