In this work, it’s given analyses of the Macedonian companies about making up a business culture and a comparison with the business culture in the world. As a result of the researches, a new management system is offered that is based on the TQM (Total Quality Management) philosophy. The solution was found in improvement of the management system by accepting the new TQM philosophy and utilization of its strategy, development of the staff and promotion of the processes, and all of that is done earlier, even before the new technology and the separate IT are bought.One of the biggest changes that the new TQM strategy requests from the Macedonian companies is to change the mentality and quit the old habits and the transitional syndrome. That means that the positive characteristics in the Macedonian mentality should evaluate, and the traditional values should be successfully joined with the cultural values and the current trendy values from the west, which rule the world.

Methodological Problems

The review of scholarly research on generations is presented in the article. First, authors consider theoretical and methodological problems of studying the generations. Second, the main directions and results of empirical research on communication between generations are presented. The paper demonstrates the existence of a gap between generations in different countries. Results allow to conclude that now in Russia, communication between generations gradually loses a role of relaying cultural values, which leads to limitations in communicative chains in the inter-generational space and to violation of sociocultural continuity of generations. Third, the review of empirical researches of generations confirms that in the world differences in values of representatives of different generations are observed. In the West traditional values, the senior generation are replaced with secular (rational) values, and in the East – the senior generation is more committed to collectivism values, and the younger – to individualism values.

Technology Incubators

Science and technology incubator, as an organization dedicated to serving science and technology enterprises, has many functions, such as cultivating small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises, transforming science and technology into productivity, adjusting regional and national industrial structure, promoting the development of high and new technology industries, and promoting employment. Since the emergence of the first business incubator in the United States in the 1950s, this new form of social and economic organization has been developing rapidly all over the world, and has cultivated a large number of successful enterprises, which initially made great contributions to promoting the development of the world economy. However, with the increasing number of science and technology incubators and the rapid development of science and technology enterprises, various problems in the management system and operation mode of science and technology incubators are gradually exposed, which seriously affects the sustainable development of science and technology incubators in China. In view of this, based on the analysis of the current situation of science and technology incubator management in China, this paper puts forward the construction strategy of standardized management system of science and technology incubator in order to promote the scientific development of science and technology incubator in China.

The paper presents the changes of values in three cultural areas the West, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia through two aspects: (i) behavior’s aspect and (ii) subjective aspect. From behavior’s aspect, the paper presents the changes in ways of cognition, organization and behavior. From subjective aspect, the paper presents the changes in countries in the West, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia. Due to the main domination of Western values in the process of globalization and integration, the more different from the West in terms of cultural values are, the stronger and more difficult the changes in values become. For this reason,Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia are more interested in building their own values.

Abstract.—The fishery for spiny dogfish <em>Squalus acanthias </em>within British Columbia (B.C.) has fluctuated greatly over the past 150 years. During the 1930s and 1940s it was one of the most valuable fisheries on the West Coast. Active management of this fishery began in 1977 after Canada extended its exclusive economic zone to 200 mi. The management of Pacific groundfish fisheries, including dogfish, is complex, and is further complicated by serious conservation concerns. Bycatch issues and the lack of full catch monitoring have been of particular concern. As a result, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) approached groundfish industry representatives to develop a plan to address these key issues. A program to make individual fishers more accountable for their harvest, to improve compliance with the DFO’s selective fishing and fishery monitoring policies, and to be consistent with Pacific fisheries reform was developed. This integration program was implemented in 2006 for commercial groundfish fisheries within B.C. As a result, at-sea monitoring was maximized to 100% and individual transferable quotas within each fishery allow fishermen to account for their groundfish bycatch on an annual basis. This new management system could help pave the way for other fisheries around the world to learn, adjust accordingly, and implement similar regimes.

Management Theories

This chapter draws attention to the relevance of cultures to management philosophy with the purpose of contributing to a culturally viable practice of management in Africa. It has been shown that the different management theories in the form that they have been developed in the West may not fit culturally in Africa. However, in developing theories and building models of management theories in Africa, it is unlikely to pay Africans to throw away all that the West has to offer. Rather, the process of appropriate management theorizing should be to reflect on the assumptions of Western management theories, compare Western assumptions about social and cultural values with African cultural values, and rebuild the theories or models through experimentation. The use of anthropological and philosophical concepts in this context will help in development of appropriate management practice.

Corporate Social

In Asia, as elsewhere around the world, societies have a long history of cultural and religious giving. The idea of business' responsibility to give back to the communities in which they operate is also age old. In many of the countries studied, an alternative discourse encompassing culture, traditional values, and politics provides a socio-economic context and a national backdrop for CSR action. Based on the ten countries studies, key elements that define the practice of CSR in Asian companies are: cultural influences, classical philanthropy, State capacity, participation in global supply chains and home-grown corporate misdemeanors. Culture matters to how societies approach CSR. There are important cultural influences on ideas of “obligation” and “responsibility” that are significant in the Asian context and this is where the Asian discourse on CSR diverge from that in the West.

In the novels The Concubine and The Great Ponds, Elechi Amadi, through the magical realist tradition, revisits the precolonial past of the Ikwerre (Nigeria) to showcase the cultural and intellectual sophistication of this society. As represented in Amadi’s writing, this was a well-structured society with its own credible social and cultural values that defined and explained their worldview, with nothing to envy in the West. In The Concubine, for example, the fates of the men (Emenike, Madume, and Ekwueme) who intend to marry Ihuoma can be explained naturally as well as supernaturally. In The Great Ponds, the novelist employs African mythology to critique the Western arrogance and egocentricity that plunged the world in the purposeless and wasteful war of 1914–18, as well as complicating character and meaning in this novel through the supernatural. Through the war over fishing rights in the Wagaba pond between Chiolu and Aliakoro, Amadi transposes some of the consequences of the First World War, such as the death and suffering that involved the Central and Allied Powers, into his narrative. Amadi’s magical realist fiction is a celebration of indigenous beliefs and culture, as well as a tool to explore character and history.

Bu nedenle şirketler, bu felsefeyi tüm işletme süreçlerinde profesyonelce uygulayabilmelidir. TKY, tüm iş süreçlerinde, maliyetlerin ve hataların azaltıldığı, müşteri memnuniyetinin sağlandığı, işçilerin karar alma süreçlerine dahil edildiği, eğitimin artırıldığı bir felsefe olarak ifade edilmektedir. Ancak, Türkiye’deki bazı firmalar TKY felsefesini tam olarak uygulayamamaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla birçok firmanın bu felsefedeki amaçlarını gerçekleştirmede bazı eksiklileri olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, TKY’nin felsefesini, tarihsel gelişimini, dünya ve Türkiye’deki bazı uygulamalarını belirtmek ve Kalekim firmasının TKY uygulamalarını analiz etmektir. Çalışma sonucunda, Kalekim firmasının TKY uygulamalarını başarı ile gerçekleştirdiği görülmüştür.
