An approach to the phenomenon of corporate entrepreneurial culture

This paper has the objective of creating a framework for a different cultural dimension of corporate entrepreneurship leading to corporate entrepreneurial culture (CEC). The analysis of CEC is based on a review of existing concepts of organisational culture and entrepreneurship. They are combined to create a framework of CEC, including macro- and microlevels and examples of subcultures. Core ideas of the framework are validated by qualitative interviews with ten experts. The identified organisational category of the CEC framework is defined by the levels of micro-cultures or subcultures and includes the upper levels of the hierarchy, including the industry level. Geographic categories such as regional or national culture are also part of the system. The individual category of the CEC framework is characterised by competencies (including aspects such as motivation, creativity, mobilising others, coping with uncertainty, teamwork and social competencies) and entrepreneurial personalities. The results of the interviews show the importance of these individual competencies for a lively CEC. The different levels, such as national and professional cultures, as a dimension of the organisational category of the framework are also confirmed by the interviews. The findings indicate that the individual category of CEC could be used for job satisfaction or engagement and the degree of CEC of an organisation could be defined and developed by the organisational category. The identified framework contributes to an understanding of this complex topic and supports companies in the implementation of entrepreneurial ideas in different organisational contexts

Authentic corporate social responsibility: antecedents and effects on consumer purchase intention

Purpose The aim of the research is to identify the factors that create an authentic company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement and to investigate whether an authentic CSR engagement influences the purchase intention. In addition, the study attempts to provide insights into the mediation role of attitude toward the company and frequency of purchase on purchase intention. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a theoretical framework is developed in which major antecedents of authentic CSR are identified. A specific example of a brand and its corporate social responsibility activities was used for the study. An online questionnaire was used to collect the data. To verify the hypothesis, structural equation modeling with the partial least squares method was used. A total of 240 people participated in the study. Findings The results of the study confirmed that CSR authenticity positively influences consumer purchase intention. Furthermore, the hypothesized impact of CSR authenticity on attitudes toward the company and frequency of purchase could be verified. Originality/value Although there is research on the antecedents influencing the consumer's perceived authenticity of CSR, it has not addressed differences in impact and has not presented a full picture of influencing antecedents. In addition, CSR proof as a new antecedent is investigated in the study. Moreover, research on outcomes of perceived CSR authenticity still lacks depth. The study therefore addresses this research gap by providing an extensive research framework including antecedents influencing CSR authenticity and outcomes of CSR authenticity

Bio, vegan – oder was?

Nachhaltigkeit als gesellschaftlicher Wert beeinflusst auch die Haltung der Konsumierenden gegenüber Fleisch- und Wurstkonsum und kann zum Umkippen bisheriger Konsummuster führen (Tipping-Point). Für EDEKA Südwestfleisch und Schwarzwaldhof erfordert dies – aufbauend auf der bisherigen Ausrichtung an Nachhaltigkeit – eine zukunftsorientierte Planung des Sortiments im veganen, vegetarischen, hybriden Sektor und im Bereich Bio-Produkte und Tierwohl. Hierfür muss auch die Kommunikationspolitik angepasst werden, um jüngere Zielgruppen zu erreichen, damit das Dilemma der Fleischwirtschaft (Tierwohl wird gefordert, aber nicht in gleichem Masse gekauft) nicht zu Lasten des Markterfolgs geht

Metabolic and thermogenic properties of the subcutaneous white adipose tissue of wild and laboratory rodents

For the first time biochemical analysis of inguinal adipose tissue of korean mouse (Apodemus peninsulae) and short-tailed vole (Microtus agrestis) have performed. Expression of uncoupling protein UCP1 in inguinal fat was combined with high metabolic and oxidative activity of this fat depot in wild rodents, in comparison with laboratory mice. Studies of the adipose tissues in animals from natural populations can be useful for the elucidating of the physiological norm of their functioning and for the development of regimes for the prevention and correction of metabolic disorders

Матеріали інформаційно-методичного забезпечення дисципліни «Основи юридичної клінічної практики»На схоластичність навчання в юридичних ВНЗ давно вже скаржаться не тільки студенти-двієчники. Навіть найбільшим відмінникам, які були «на ти» із теорією, доводиться переживати невеличкий шок, коли вони починають на практиці застосовувати здобуті знання. Клієнти – живі люди із неповторними характерами, які створюють безліч ситуацій, що потребують негайного і кваліфікованого втручання фахівця. Проте «таємничість» стосунків з ними для багатьох студентів-юристів лишається чимось на зразок загадкової непрочитаної книг
