Perception Of Innovation

The contents of the chapter refer to innovations in organizations and particularly as their perception processes are implemented. At this point, the role and importance of academic institutions is more likely to be discussed as the internal initiatives for academia are concerned. The main objective of the work was to obtain the systematic approach to the issues of university transformation to such a point that the need of innovativeness at universities is discussed. This is compared against the requirements of stakeholders. The need for solutions is a normative issue, as expected by stakeholders. However, the issue of implementing innovative solutions is a topic of scientific discussion that is closely related to innovation, and which at the same time outlines a new dimension of perception of innovation in both business units and scientific units. Considerations can be made that implementation is the internal function of innovation that verifies in proportion to the radicalism of innovation the possibilities of their practical application.

Shadow It

Business units are increasingly able to fuel the transformation that digitalization demands of organizations. Thereby, they can implement Shadow IT (SIT) without involving a central IT department to create flexible and innovative solutions. Self-reinforcing effects lead to an intertwinement of SIT with the organization. As a result, high complexities, redundancies, and sometimes even lock-ins occur. IT Integration suggests itself to meet these challenges. However, it can also eliminate the benefits that SIT presents. To help organizations in this area of conflict, we are conducting a literature review including a systematic search and an analysis from a systemic viewpoint using path dependency and switching costs. Our resulting conceptual framework for SIT integration drawbacks classifies the drawbacks into three dimensions. The first dimension consists of switching costs that account for the financial, procedural, and emotional drawbacks and the drawbacks from a loss of SIT benefits. The second dimension includes organizational, technical, and level-spanning criteria. The third dimension classifies the drawbacks into the global level, the local level, and the interaction between them. We contribute to the scientific discussion by introducing a systemic viewpoint to the research on shadow IT. Practitioners can use the presented criteria to collect evidence to reach an IT integration decision.

The article summarizes the arguments within the scientific discussion about the search of alternative sources of research universities funding in the absence of sufficient support from the government. The main objective of the research is to define the possibility of using the endowment as a fundraising tool to attract alternative sources of funding for research universities in Ukraine. The relevance of solving this scientific issue lies in the fact that modern research universities are independent entities, which according to the Bologna Declaration assume the entire load on the future of the state and have to do it at the highest professional level. This can be ensured through a combination of traditional and modern sources of funding. The world experience of successful implementation of the endowment has been presented. The level of knowledge intensity of GDP, which is one of the key indicators that reflects the level of quality of higher education, has been analyzed. The endowment as one of the most effective fundraising tools is poorly developed in Ukraine. This fact has prompted us to research the main provisions of this phenomenon and to define the conditions for its implementation in Ukrainian research-based institutions of higher education by means of the strategic analysis. The conducted SWOT analysis has made it possible to systematize problem areas of the domestic market of educational services in the direction of creating and using the endowment and predicting possible strategies for its development. Since the Research Universities are considered to be the core of creation of intellectual and innovative products and the crucial mover of scientific and technological progress in the country and in the world, they have been chosen as the research object.  Keywords: fundraising, endowment, Research University, market of educational services, investment, alternative sources of funding

The purpose of this activity is to motivate and inspire the DKI Jakarta Youth Organization through the theme of Entrepreneurship Development for the Jakarta Youth Organization. Participants in this activity were Binus Syahdan Campus Cleaning Service officers and Anggrek representing West Jakarta Youth Organization. This activity shows the enthusiasm of the participants because of their entrepreneurial development potential, because there are already several people who already have products, but are not optimal in their packaging and marketing, currently by optimizing social media networking alone. The results of this activity have several implications, including the following; First, the implications for planning and developing the training curriculum for MSMEs, Candidates for MSMEs and Communities and teaching materials for the EN001 Entrepreneurship course, with the collaboration method of lecturers, students and MSMEs in carrying out community service activities, by optimizing the implementation of the Entrepreneurship Student Activity Program (PKM-K) through Higher Education Grants in the Indonesian Student Business Competition Program (KBMI). Second, the implications for the education and training of lecturers by using an example method of direct practical application. Third, to inspire to increase cooperation with lecturers from different study programs, so that the output can make further proposals for funding other than the Binus grant. Fourth, the implications of choosing the right training / workshop method for participants and the community as well as increasing the synergy in the implementation of the Tridharma of Higher Education.

Graduate development programmes such as FUSION continue to be seen by policy makers, higher education institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as primary means of strengthening higher education–business links and in turn improving the match between graduate output and the needs of industry. This paper provides evidence from case studies. The findings indicate that the practical application of academic principles in real-world settings provides a useful learning vehicle for academics, graduates and SMEs. Key success factors and strategies for overcoming obstacles emerged from the case studies. In light of these findings, the authors make tentative recommendations to aid the future delivery of similar programmes.

The aim of our work was to highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the study of pediatric surgical dentistry. The introduction of the Standard of Higher Education in Specialty 221 “Dentistry” Field of Knowledge 22 “Health Care” for the second (master’s) level of higher education has allowed us to revise and improve a number of provisions regarding the study of pediatric surgical dentistry. First of all, the updated educational-professional program 221- “Dentistry” outlines the list of competencies and learning outcomes in the discipline “Pediatric Surgical Dentistry” and clearly defines the prerequisites on which the study of pediatric surgical dentistry is based. In the study of pediatric surgical dentistry, namely issues related to inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial area, attention should be paid to the etiology and pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory odontogenic processes directly in the age aspect. At the same time, it is important to emphasize the need for preventive dental measures, timely therapeutic intervention, especially during the eruption of permanent teeth and urgent radical treatment to prevent complications. In addition, an important component in the study of this topic are issues related to the age of the formation of organs and systems of the child, the tendency to hyperergic reactions and generalization of the inflammatory process, the factor of minimal anti-inflammatory potential. The presented methodological approach in terms of practical application of interdisciplinary links in the study of pediatric surgical dentistry, according to our observations allowed to increase the level of knowledge within the professional competence of students with a score of “5” from 20% in IV year to 68% V year. Thus, the list of components of the educational process analyzed in this paper creates a promising direction for further improvement of teaching methods at the Department of Pediatric Surgical Dentistry.
