Business Development - Science topic

Currently and prospectively, generative artificial intelligence, a ChatGPT-type language model, is finding various applications helpful in analyses carried out for business purposes. ChatGPT can be helpful, for example, in quickly drawing up a competitive analysis against a specific company, enterprise, start-up or other type of business entity. This kind of real-time analysis can be helpful in the effective management of a business entity. However, an issue for the time being may be the outdatedness of the data and information contained in the database that ChatGPT uses to answer questions. The aforementioned database is a kind of Big Data database built from data and information collected from a selection of multiple websites, but not now only in 2021. Large corporations, including large technology companies, have the financial capacity to create research and development departments within their company structures, where they develop technological innovations, new technologies, technology standards, etc., in order to be technologically at the forefront and maintain their strong position in specific markets. Consequently, large technology companies also have an interest in ensuring that emerging new technologies and innovations are quickly incorporated into their business. This also applies to the currently developing Industry 4.0 technologies, including machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence. On the other hand, companies and enterprises operating in the SME sector, including above all micro-enterprises and start-ups, have much more limited financial possibilities to finance the creation of research and development departments within their organisations, where new technologies, innovations and technological standards would be created. Of course, SME companies are also interested in incorporating new technological solutions and innovations into their businesses. However, the new technologies that they implement are not mainly the result of their research activities, but are bought and then implemented as ready-made solutions, already proven technologies or patents applied in other companies. However, some technological solutions for new technologies and/or specific applied and open-access technological solutions for information Internet services are also available for use by companies and enterprises operating in the SME sector already in the early stages of business development and with relatively small financial investments. For example, these are the Internet-accessible new online media, social media and online information services offered by large Internet-based technology companies, which have created specific standards in the implementation of certain Industry 4.0 technologies and have established a strong position in the market for certain online information and other services. Consequently, the currently rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology, including specific solutions of it made available on the Internet such as ChatGPT, can be used in specific business development support applications by various types of business entities, including companies and enterprises in the SME sector. For example, ChatGPT can be used in carrying out market and other analyses that are helpful in managing a business entity also operating in the SME sector. However, the applicability of both this kind of shared technological tool, a kind of language model of generative artificial intelligence made available on the Internet under an open access formula, and other technological solutions of artificial intelligence, which will probably soon be offered by the technology companies creating them, is much greater.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Can green computing save energy and how does green marketing affect sustainable business development?

Hey everyone,

for my master thesis I am searching for contemporary Research Questions adressing sustainable design of companies and or municipalities.

Also I am searching for a supervisor with experience in this field, interested to accompany on this journey.

I am a frelance educator, currently teaching permaculture design and Social-Ecological Systems in an adult education centre in Northern Germany. I also do a master degree in Global Change Geography, have a background in anthropology. In another study programme I studied Design for Sustainability, applying Whole-Systems Design in creating community projects using holistic design tools (such as permaculture design, ecovillage design).

Below my idea and thought.

Happy to hear any suggestions, feedback.

One question that interests me is: 'Ecology in decision making: A cultural-ecology perspective in e.g.

* small and medium-sized companies in Germany/Switzerland

* municipal politicians

What is the level of understanding on ecology and ecosystem services (regulating, supporting) in municipal decision makers / small and medium-sized company leaders and to what extend do environmental aspects of regeneration and sustainability influence their decisions?

Problem:

Decision makers are mainly grounded in law and economics. This one-sided education does not meet the necessary skills decision makers need, in times of ecological collapse and climate change. To properly address the environmental challenges (e.g. the planetary boundaries framework) more decision makers need a certain basic understanding of ecological processes and systems thinking, in order to a) better understand the complex ecological processes in landscapes and how human structures interfere with the health of ecosystems, and b) understand the far reching consequences of the interdependencies of the extractive economy and unsustainable development of munipalities on environmental processes.

Decisions that support a growth-economy and those continuing with the fragmentation of landscapes - as is the case of the federal road through the landscape reserve in the south of Hannover - show that local decisions are not made based on the scientific understanding of the severeness of a threatened biosphere integrity and its implications on climate change, water safety and other planetary boundaries.

It is known that, in terms of landscape and urban development, our society needs to make certain changes (e.g. green infrastructure, reduced fragmentation, soil protection and regeneration, protection of forests, etc.) in order to protect the biosphere integrity, which - according to Stefan et al. (2015) - is the foundation of all other 8 Planetary boundaries including climate change, and is highly at risk of collapse.

Through a questionnaire with decision makers, their understanding of regulating and supporting ecosystem services and systems thinking capacity will be acquired and one scenario concerning decisions of ecological importance will be played through.

Part of the participants will join a workshop communicating basic understandings of PBs and ecological design practices before going through a second scenario a few weeks after the education intervention.

The pandemic has accelerated the implementation of ICT information technology into business operations and the use of the Internet to promote and sell product and service offerings. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic indirectly accelerated the development of ICT information technology applications in various aspects of business. During the pandemic, lockdowns were introduced on selected, mainly service sectors of the economy. As part of anti-pandemic security instruments, citizens infected with the coronavirus had to stay at home in quarantine for several to several days. As a result, quarantined consumers started ordering and buying products and services more via the Internet. On the other hand, companies under lockdown were able to conduct their business via the Internet. Consequently, many companies and businesses during the pandemic increased their use of the Internet for their business operations. Many businesses have increased the scale of sales of products and services offered to customers via the Internet. Many companies during the pandemic built or developed their online sales platforms. The scale of turnover carried out through the Internet in many companies and enterprises has even increased several times. As a result, the scale of e-commerce increased. The turnover of courier companies increased. E-logistics has developed. The use of ICT information technology and Industry 4.0 in various aspects of business has increased. When placing orders via the Internet and making purchases of products and services, citizens, including consumers and entrepreneurs, increasingly made payments for ordered products, services, semi-finished products, components, raw materials, etc. via the Internet. The development of online payments and settlements has resulted in the acceleration of the development of e-banking, especially online and mobile banking. In enterprises, computerized systems are being developed to support management processes, decision-making processes. The improvement of computerized enterprise management systems is currently being carried out by increasing the scale of use of Internet technologies and Industry 4.0. Examples are investments in computerized management and decision-making process support systems, in which so-called digital twins of economic, business processes and/or specific spheres of conducted production, service, trade, etc. are built. During the pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Covid-19), the scale of investment by companies and enterprises in the development of computerized decision-making systems, in which the aforementioned digital twins and other innovations of Industry 4.0 technology are used, increased significantly. The development of information processing technologies in the era of the current technological revolution termed Industry 4.0 is determined by the development and growth of applications of ICT information technologies, Internet technologies and advanced data processing. The technological revolution currently taking place, referred to as Industry 4. 0 is determined by the development and implementation into economic processes of the following technologies: analytical and database technologies Big Data Analytics, Data Science, cloud computing, machine learning, personal and industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence, autonomous robots, horizontal and vertical data system integration, multi-criteria simulation models, digital twins, additive manufacturing, Blockchain, smart technologies, cyber security instruments, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and other advanced data processing technologies Data Mining. Thanks to the application of new Industry 4.0 technologies, computerized multi-criteria simulation models known as digital twins are now being created in many companies, enterprises and financial institutions. Building digital twins of entire processes of production, service provision, procurement logistics, manufacturing and distribution in information systems, the company obtains an excellent tool to support the process of managing the organization. Also, business analytics combined with Big Data Analytics technology supports the management process of an enterprise, company, financial institution or other type of business entity. With these solutions, it is also possible to create simulation models of the future development of complex, multi-faceted economic, social, financial, pandemic, natural, climatic, etc. processes. With the help of Big Data Analytics, many companies are already carrying out market research based on the analysis of Internet users' sentiment regarding changes in trends in the evaluation of the quality of product and service offerings, company reputation, logos, corporate branding, etc. The applications of Big Data technology in this area, including computerized market research, analysis of Internet user sentiment, in supporting business management processes, I have described in my publications posted on my profile of this Research Gate portal.

In view of the above, I address the following questions to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I assume that there are some tenders that require that the applicants be from the same country of the tender. Is there a way to filter results where only tenders that accept applicants from other countries show up? Please note that our field is e-learning (specifically education enabling by providing content digitization and a technological platform (LMS) in partnership with content creators & sellers).

Currently I am working on Social Capital research to see the "effect of social networking on business development" I chosen the Structural Effect Modeling using Amos or Lisrel . Can I find some one who had experience on in using these software?

Does the emergence of new technologies create new market niches for the development of innovative startups?

The development of new technologies creating market niches for the development of innovative startups

Currently, businesses and startups are being developed in many innovative, technological fields of business. Many of these rapidly developing ventures base their business development on new technologies, product, technological, process innovations, management, etc. Many startups develop their business projects trying to diagnose and use new market niches that also appear in connection with the development of new technologies, in including information technology, internet etc.

(The continuation of these considerations can be found in the comments below).

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

How do we see this nexus? How climate change affect business sustainability and safety, and how the policy and governance should look at this?

2. How the Business/development in sectors viz. agriculture, health, urban, infrastructure and industry recognizes these threats and overcome the risk?

3. Do we have case studies, researches and good practices and

4. What role management schools play in addressing these issues?

What are recent research topics that examine the relationship between communication in organizations with business development?

I will prepare to get Phd in communication . My passion for business development and communication , I hope to study in their relationship ..

For example, if a (public) pension scheme is too complicated or unstable can have negative effects on business environment. Do you know any papers that have studied this topic?

Thanks so much.

In regards to product development / time to market, back in 1990, Cusumano and Nobeoka stated that “each day of delay for an average automobile has been estimated to cost a firm about $1 million in lost profits”. Does anyone have updated figures? Nowadays, what would be such cost? Thanks in advance for any literature tips.

Some elaboration will be helpful and recommendation of good literature will be appreciated .

I would like to know the factors & challenges that are effect the development of oil & gas business in middle east,

Clearly evident is the proliferation of technologies in ensuring business success. However, what is perplexing is the lack of adoption of the technologies in the developing world. As a result the pace of development is so low that there is always reliance on the developed world for value added products.

I'm researching for the drivers improve or weaken the performance of the firms bcoz of second generation as the CEO of family firms

I have a problem with my research. my research is talking about organizational commitment, career growth and turnover intention at in either banking industrial. for identifying the division who have high level in turnover intention, i did an early assessment to get the highest turnover intention in specific division with turnover intention scale by Mobley. The problem is, the results is tend to be neutral and i can't to identify a division who have a highest turnover intention. 

Improving lifelong learning is an important objective as a result of multiple social and economic implications, given the positive influence, among other factors, on the career development and employment, the individual productivity and competitiveness growth of the company.

The OE dimensions are innovation, proactiveness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy. Can some or all of these be used to measure SMEs' survival?

Corporates, generally, have well defined rules and regulations. They have their infrastructure, plant & machinary etc. which is difficult to dismantle time and again with changes in the environment. In big firms, the Corporate Bureaucracy, which is limiting factor for innovation and which leaves no space for entrepreneurship, is well known. Then why are living with term Corporate Entrepreneurship.

I was curious as I am interested in the retailing market, specifically Germany and researching in the DC domain and therefore interested in the RBV. Thanks and regards, Gabriel

Many evidence from the countries of western and central Europe show that the development of SMEs sector and entrepreneurship is a key factor for a successful transformation from command to market based economy in sector in the WBCs.

Do government, environmental agencies across the world have "Agenda of sustainability for SME/small firm/small business or MSMEs" similar to DESD-Decade of education for sustainable development".

What are the limitations of the Resource Based View (RBV) Theory of the firm?

I would like to know if there is any paper which has empirically measured the opportunity exploitation process strategies specifically which mentioned by Shane in his book.  Shane himself mentioned Survival, Growth, Profit, sales, initial public offering as the performance indicators. These measurements have massively used in the literature. I would like to be more specific on the measurements I'm looking for as follows:

1. Organizing (not by opening new venture), can be a dynamic process, mode of organizing, choice of markets etc.

2. Strategies which can be scale, control of resources, legal barriers, reputation, and innovation etc.

 3. Resources acquisitions which can be self-financing, contract structure etc

 All these mentioned by Shane, and are the one I'm interested in using them as my dependent variables. I want to use these on the fact that entrepreneurial ventures are not always making a profit, but their capabilities matter to achieve their venture's growth, sales, and profit.etc.

Suggestions and corrections are also welcomed.

How to categorize whether a firm is following X theory or Y approach in their decision making 

It is evident from different research that SMEs are also considered for applying sustainability practices. Any composite work (PhD work) available on emerging topic. Kindly help...

Our control lab is in the process of expansion and we are looking forward to having a 3-axis inertially stabilized platform (ISP) for the purpose of research. I would like to know if there is any good vendor who supplies this on an educational scale.

We are carrying out a study regarding the economic and financial situation of the oldest family firms in Spain. Generally, the first results show that these firms create value and are able to generate enough money through ordinary activity to pay back their financial debts. But, is it the age of the firm an advantage or a disadvantage when they have to survive in the current changing world?

The focus of the question is, analyze the generation of returns from the management approach of internal activities of the micro enterprise.

Medium and large companies have clearly defined the value chain, but in the micro business is not clear, however it is considered that if they have.

Micro businesses have different value chains and links that comprise these impact positively or negatively on profitability, the question is; which are the activities of these most common value chains that show that influence.

Stephan and Gorgievski (2016)

I am working on BDSP but I do not find any new reference. all references are about 2000. I am grateful anyone share experiences.

SBIR plays the important role at the aspect of prompt the development of SMEs，what I wonder is the detail number  and the questions about the project.

In market economies, it is generally assumed that large businesses are more likely than small businesses to succeed in many categories (banking, commerce, manufacturing, mining, agriculture) because of economies of scale.  Whether that premise is generally true or not, I am interested in any data that shows a hidden bias that promotes a disproportionate rate of survival of large-scale operations.  An example of this would be regulation.  Anecdotal evidence suggests that large businesses actually welcome a heavily regulated market because they able to spread compliance costs over a larger base of revenue than small businesses.  Even if the regulations hurt big businesses, they hurt small ones more, thus helping large business by limiting competition.  In addition to regulatory policy, other areas in which government might tilt the balance toward large business are: 1) government procurement procedures, 2) tax policies, 3) contracting policies, 4) economic development subsidies. 

For US data , it is available in CRSP.  For non USA data it is not available.  I need to calculate both Value & Equal Weighted Returns for EU based firms and it is not available in Compustat Global.  CRSP is geared towards US firms.  What would be a formula or could you guide me to a paper that has the details?

How best can manufacturing brands operating in distressed economies enhance their competitiveness for survival.

How can service-oriented organizations use brand strategy for survival in distressed economies?
