Industry 4.0 technologies represent a new paradigm of integration of cyber-physical systems, information and communication solutions, with applications in many different domains. This topic has to date been vaguely explored in the realm of the social sciences; hence this study attempts to bridge this gap by investigating the challenges of innovation adoption, based on I4.0 technologies, more specifically the factors affecting adoption decisions. This paper, based on previous adoption literature, aims to identify the barriers and benefits generated in the Supply Chain. Given the nature and novelty of the technology, whose adoption is the primary theme of this study, a systematic literature review was developed. The results present a framework that connects adoption factors, enabling technologies of I4.0, and benefits to the Supply Chain. The Model can be easily adapted to serve as a tool in the evaluation and selection of technological innovations to be adopted.

Safe Food

The aim of this study was to determine students' consumption behavior based on their awareness of food safety. Data were collected using survey method. Study sample consisted of 400 students of Ünye Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Ordu University, Turkey. Chi-square test was used to determine whether participants’ levels of awareness of food safety differed by socio-economic characteristics. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine differences in mean scores among awareness groups (low, medium and high) in terms of reading the nutrition information on food labels, food purchasing venues to be reliable and factors affecting food purchase decisions. Results showed that expiry date was the most important factor in food purchase decisions, followed by dates of production and packaging. Participants’ levels of awareness of food safety significantly differed by the proportion of monthly income allocated to food and their preference for cheap foods containing GMO. Supermarkets were ranked the most reliable venues for safe food purchasing, followed by groceries and greengrocers. Results also showed that food purchase decisions of the low and medium awareness groups were mostly affected by their families while those of the high awareness group were mostly affected by their doctors. Results indicate that firstly parents' awareness should be raised about food safety and safe food consumption so that future generations can be more conscious of these issues. In addition, courses on these matters should be included in curricula, and seminars or workshops should be held to raise students' awareness of food safety.

Funding Sources

Modern industrial enterprises play a crucial role in providing the innovation process of the national economy. They are the suppliers of high-tech products that affect the economic growth of various sectors of the economy. Despite the fact that the issue of innovative activity intensification of modern enterprises is quite actively covered by scientists, the process of innovation adoption at industrial enterprises remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, there is a need to identify the main factors of innovation adoption at industrial enterprises of Ukraine. In addition, it is important to determine the role of different funding sources for stimulating innovation adoption. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the place of financial resources in the set of innovation adoption stimulating factors and to determine the optimal structure of funding sources for industrial enterprises innovation activity. The article examines the approaches of modern scientists to the interpretation the concept of "adopted innovation" essence. The place of the innovation adoption in the innovation process is determined: it is an intermediate link between the created R&D and the commercialized one. It is determined that the innovation implementation at an enterprise depends on such aspects as: human resources, market, novations, and finance. It is noted that these aspects generate internal and external factors affecting the innovation adoption. The importance of different funding sources for stimulating innovation adoption is substantiated. Based on the data for 2000–2019, a vector autoregression model (VAR) of the new machines and equipment adoption dynamics at industrial enterprises of Ukraine under the influence of various funding sources was built. With the help of VAR-model and situational analysis it is determined that in order to maximize the number of new machines and equipment adoption at the industrial enterprises of Ukraine in the funding structure of innovative activity the predominant share should be occupied by own resources of industrial enterprises and state budget funds.

Impulse Purchase

For more than fifty years, researchers have strived hard to form a better understanding of impulse buying (Stern; 1962; Rook et.al; 1987; Rook and Fisher; 1995; Peck and Childers; 2006 ; Chang et.al; 2011). The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed account of impulse buying behavior. The content analysis of various research work led to the classification of  literature into various factors affecting impulse purchase decisions ,classifying products into impulse and non impulse items, behavior dimensions of impulse buying and Rook and Fisher (1995, p.305) proposed that consumers tend to control their innate impulsive tendencies as they perceive impulse buying as normatively wrong. This paper will be useful for practitioners and researchers towards understanding of impulsive behavior of consumers and will provide a better insight in.

The City

The City of Toronto is home to four major universities and over 184,000 post-secondary students, most of whom will need a place to call home. It has become typical for students at urban universities to be housed on campus in student residences for first year, after which most students will seek accommodation in the neighbourhoods closest to campus. There are many factors affecting the ability for students to locate close to campus, of which affordability is at the forefront. The research of this paper is two-fold; locate areas close to each of Toronto’s four university campuses which may accommodate purpose-built student accommodations and refine these areas to identify areas where the development can be delivered as a mid-rise typology. Through intensification capacity modelling, underutilized sites within areas close to campus were identified for their suitability to respond to both city initiatives of providing student housing and finding the missing middle on housing density were identified. Identifying these sites allows for city planners and universities to anticipate the concentration of students in existing neighbourhoods and plan for the effects of ‘studentification’, both as a tension between students and neighbours and for the regenerative effects on the community.
