      <description>Title: Influence of perceived legitimacy and perceived value of professional association members on attitudinal loyalty
Authors: Sánchez del Río-Vázquez, Maria-Elena; Rodríguez-Rad, Carlos; Orta-Pérez, Manuel; Revilla Camacho, Maria Angeles; Revilla Camacho, Maria Angeles
Abstract: This article explores the discoveries related to organizational legitimacy, focusing on its three key types: pragmatic, moral, and cognitive. It examines how perceived value plays a crucial role in the generation of legitimacy and its direct impact on attitudinal loyalty. The study, based on a survey of 156 members of the Professional Association of Economists of Seville, demonstrates the significant influence of perceived value and legitimacy on the three dimensions of organizational legitimacy and attitudinal loyalty. Based on the findings, the paper recommends a management approach that emphasizes perceived value to reinforce legitimacy, which in turn strengthens loyalty. Another important contribution of our work is that it fills a gap in the literature related to professional association membership loyalty and its antecedents. Further research is suggested to investigate the causes and effects of legitimacy in different organizational contexts.</description>

Abstract: The advancement of digital technologies has become a transformative driver of economic development. Digitalisation is central to the global economy, enhances productivity, drives innovation, and promotes inclusive growth. Despite this potential, South Africa faces persistent challenges such as skills shortages, unemployment, poverty, and socioeconomic inequality. This study investigates the role of digitalisation in advancing economic complexity, human capital development, and gross national income in South Africa. A digitalisation index, constructed through Principal Component Analysis, ARDL models, and Granger causality analysis, provides insights into the short- and long-term impacts and causal relationship. The findings reveal that digitalisation and education significantly enhance human capital development in the long run, with digital infrastructure also driving immediate gains. For the gross national income model, digitalisation and education pose short-term pressures due to development expenditures, while institutional quality plays an important role in sustaining income. Economic complexity benefits positively from digitalisation over the long term, though short-term impacts stress the role of governance quality and infrastructure. Causality analysis further shows the interconnectedness of these variables, with digitalisation advancing economic complexity and human capital driving national income, reinforcing digitalisation. The results call for policies that align short-term developmental priorities with long-term sustainability. Investments in digital infrastructure, accessible education, and institutional frameworks are critical for building a skilled labour force while enhancing economic complexity and maintaining financial stability.</description>

      <description>Title: Managing global talent: Innovative solutions and a sustainable strategy using a human-centric approach
Authors: Švecova, Olga V.
Abstract: This study examines the challenges and opportunities in global talent man- agement (GTM) systems within developed economies, with a specific focus on Repub- lic of Korea. The research investigates both internal and external factors-positive and negative-that shape GTM strategies across key national high-tech industries. Framed within a human-centric model, the study identifies three dominant global megatrends- technological, socio-economic, and cultural-that significantly influence talent ecosystem dynamics. The study is framed as a qualitative interview-based analysis, supported by quantitative descriptive data for contextual analysis. A qualitative approach was em- ployed, addressing the quantitative analysis of statistical labor market data to qualitative interviews (n = 42) conducted with high-level STEM professionals pursuing global talent status. Quantitative statistics indicate a measurable decline in global talent inflow to Re- public of Korea in the past year. Qualitative findings reveal critical deterrents-including regulatory, organizational, and cultural barriers-as well as motivational drivers influenc- ing global mobility decisions. These factors were synthesized within the three identified megatrends to provide a comprehensive view of GTM system dynamics. Based on the findings, the study offers strategic, human-centered recommendations for enterprises and academic institutions to enhance their GTM practices in an era of accelerating technological change. The results offer practical guidance for policymakers, business leaders, educators, and researchers seeking to align talent strategies with evolving global trends.</description>

Authors: Salhout, Sand Mohammad; Buchanan, F. Robert
Abstract: Siniora Food Industries of Palestine was facing a strategic dilemma. They had sold packaged meats for over 100 years in a challenging and risky environment. Siniora had carved a path of growth, expansion, and development, showcasing the power of endurance. Initially sold by local shopkeepers, the company's products had gone from local to regional. Publicly traded on the Jordan exchange, Siniora had become a famous brand in Jordan, the Gulf region, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. They used export as well as wholly-owned subsidiary manufacturing facilities. Siniora management considers currently stalled profitability, possible strategies, and risk as the case opens. They dream of a bold move that could span the Asian continent and take the company to the next level. Of course, such a failure could be catastrophic. What are some strategies that would be suggested? Furthermore, can we devise a thorough action plan considering the geopolitical context?</description>
