The purpose of the study is to provide empirical evidence about the under-researched area of university–government relations in building a culture of entrepreneurial initiatives inside the triple helix model in a rural region. The study deploys a qualitative case study research method based on the content analysis of project documentation and further internal documents both from universities and municipalities. The propositions in the research question are guided by the previous literature and were then analyzed through an “open coding” process to iteratively analyze, verify, and validate the results from the documents against the previous literature. Results presented in the case study are related both to the project of a municipality–university innovation partnership, as well as the historic development of the university in its three missions, and, related to the important third mission, themes relevant for the project. In addition, a “toolkit” of relevant project activities is presented against the major identified themes, major project stakeholders, as well as relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Universities should look beyond a purely economic contribution and should augment all three missions (teaching, research, engagement) by considering social, environmental, and economic aspects of its activities. Instead of considering a government’s role solely as that of a regulator, a much more creative and purposeful cooperation between university and government is possible for creating a regional culture of entrepreneurial initiatives in a rural region.
Citizen participation is deemed to be crucial for sustainability and resilience planning. However, generational equity has been missing from recent academic discussions regarding sustainability and resilience. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to reintroduce the topic of the existence or absence of an intergenerational consensus on the example of a rural community and its perceived brand image attributes and development priorities. The research is based on primary data collected through an online survey, with a sample size of N = 808 respondents in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, Germany. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test for the presence and/or absence of consensus among the five generations regarding brand image attributes and development priorities. The findings point to divergence between what the median values indicate as the most relevant brand image attributes and development priorities among the citizens and the areas where the Kruskal–Wallis test shows that an intergenerational consensus either does or does not exist. The results imply the need for new concepts and applied approaches to citizen participation for sustainability and resilience, where intergenerational dialogue and equity-building take center stage. In addition to the importance of the theory of citizen participation for sustainability and resilience, our results provide ample evidence for how sustainability and resilience planning documents could potentially benefit from deploying the concept of intergenerational equity. The present research provides sustainability and political science with new conceptual and methodological approaches for taking intergenerational equity into account in regional planning processes in rural and other areas.
Comunity of NKS raw data

Full data on citizen questionnaire, conducted in 2018. as an online survey, with the sample size of 808 respondents. In order to qualify for participation in the survey, the respondents needed to be citizens of the rural community Neunkirchen-Seelscheid with voting rights, meaning older than 16 years.

Controlling
(2013)
Eine zielorientierte Steuerung und die Erhöhung der Transparenz gehören zu den zentralen Aufgaben des Management in Unternehmen und in nichtkommerziellen Organisationen. Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Umweltdynamik und einer hohen Komplexität, in denen Organisationen heute agieren, gewinnt ein modernes und zielorientiertes Controlling zur Erfüllung der anspruchsvollen Steuerungsaufgaben zunehmend an Bedeutung.
Die Implementierung strategischer Erfolgsfaktoren rückt zunehmend in den Fokus kleiner und mittelständischer Unternehmen. Vor dem Hintergrund des überdurchschnittlichen Erfolgs sogenannter Hidden Champions (HC) stellt sich unter einer praxisorientierten Perspektive die Frage, welche Bedeutung mittelständische Unternehmen grundsätzlich den von Hermann Simon identifizierten Erfolgsprinzipien für HC für den Unternehmenserfolg zumessen. Die empirische Studie analysierte dazu die Bedeutung dieser Erfolgsfaktoren für mittelständische Unternehmen und untersuchte, ob Bedeutungsunterschiede zwischen erfolgreichen und weniger erfolgreichen Unternehmen der Stichprobe existieren. Im Rahmen einer explorativen, multivariaten Datenanalyse konnten außerdem zwei Cluster, die „Internationalen Innovatoren“ und die „Nationalen Traditionalisten“, im Datensatz identifiziert werden, die sich hinreichend in der Bedeutungszumessung der Erfolgsfaktoren voneinander unterschieden.
Entrepreneurial Leadership
(2022)
Start-ups und Unternehmensgründungen ebenso wie Projekt- oder Innovationsmanagement brauchen gleichermaßen neben dem einschlägigen Fachwissen und -erfahrungen Leadership-Skills als Erweiterung klassischer Managementanforderungen. Während diese prozessorientiert konkrete Ziele der strategischen oder operativen Planung umsetzen und optimieren, legt Leadership wie Entrepreneurship den Fokus auf Vision mit entsprechender Motivation zur Gründung oder Veränderung.

The research examines Generation Z’s (Gen Z’s) attitudes, behavior and awareness regarding sustainability-oriented products in two European countries, located in the region of Western Balkans, Bosnia–Herzegovina and Serbia. The research deploys generational cohort theory (GCT) and a quantitative analysis of primary data collected through an online questionnaire among 1338 primary, high school and university students, all belonging to Generation Z. It deploys a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) by running both Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures, the latter being suitable for binary variables, which have been deployed in the study. The results of MLCFA provide evidence that there is a statistically significant and relatively strong relation between sustainability and circular economy attitudes (SCEA) and sustainability and circular economy behavior (SCEB), while there is a statistically insignificant and relatively weak relation between sustainability and circular economy behavior (SCEB) and circular economy awareness (CEW). The results of the BCFA, which is based on MCMC procedure, are similar to the results based on a rather commonly used MLCFA procedure. The results also confirm that Gen Z knows more about the companies which recycle products than it does about the CE as a concept, while the vast majority is concerned about the future of the planet and is motivated to learn more about the CE through CE and various awareness-raising measures.
