“…In Japanese manufacturing, kaizen is fundamental to the development of individual and organisational capabilities for continuous improvement, and has significant impacts on establishing cooperative buyer-supplier relationships and knowledge transfer (Machikita et al, 2016;Sarfraz, Rajendran, Hewege & Mohan, 2018). The main elements of kaizen comprise simple organisational routines, such as 5S (i.e., sort, set, shine, standardise, sustain), quality control circles and other small-group activities implementable without a large amount of capital investment.…”

This study examines the relationship among engineers' basic skills, problem-finding and-solving capabilities, and innovation outcomes, using questionnaire survey data for Lao P.D.R., Thailand and Vietnam for the period 2016 to 2017. We perform two-stage least squares (2S.L.S.) estimations, which use the variables for engineers' basic skills and capabilities for finding and solving problems within the firm as instruments, and the indicators for capabilities for finding and solving problems of suppliers and customers as endogenous variables. The estimation results reveal the relationship between problem-finding and-solving capabilities and process innovation. The findings from the empirical analyses suggest a possible upgrading strategy for firms to transform quality control management into innovative abilities. The estimation results also support the necessity of policy support for nurturing both engineers' basic technological and managerial skills and capabilities for problem-finding and-solving.

“…None of the programs would inspire and motivate them to generate the essential skills that their professional world would demand. This situation contradicts the idea of Mohan Dass et al (2018) that the employability skills demanded by various employers across the globe are in a state of flux and companies, policy-makers and academic institutions need to work together to design an inclusive, modern human capital strategy.…”

“…Educators and policy makers bear responsibility to design curricula, develop global employability capabilities and relevant policies to prepare employable graduates across the globe (Mohan Dass et al, 2018). We need to train our students in dealing positively with praise or setbacks or criticism and help them to be able to understand, negotiate and balance various views and beliefs to reach workable solutions (Kivunja, 2014).…”

This research article aimed at unraveling the perceptions, aspirations, and efforts of the graduating students towards professionalism development and enabling a sense of professional placement in them. The researcher adopted a qualitative research paradigm and narrative inquiry method. The information was generated from four purposively selected graduating students representing diverse fields via in-depth interviews and group discussions. The findings revealed that the academic leadership was unable to promote a sense of professionalism development in the graduating students due to the lack of sufficient effort in skilling them. Their own attempts were also found insufficient due to various causes including lack of sufficient career awareness, limited professional opportunities, and adverse working environment in the nation.

One of the tasks of modern education is to ensure the sustainability of higher education in the ever-changing environment in the context of globalization and glocalization. Under these conditions, cooperation in higher education is becoming more important as one of the manifestations of competitiveness. Socio-economic changes caused by globalization, internationalization and digitalisation of higher education, as well as the current demographic situation in Europe, including Latvia, raise the issue of the competitiveness of academic staff in a multi-level, multi-context and multifunctional higher education environment. The aim of the study is: based on the interdisciplinary approach, including transfer approach from economics and business sciences to educational sciences, to theoretically substantiate the competitiveness of university teachers in interaction with the multi-context and multi-level higher education environment, as well as the competitiveness of universities. The following research methods were used: study, analysis, and evaluation of scientific literature (theoretical research method); the reflection of own (the article authors') academic and scientific experience (empirical research method). The results of the research show that two tendencies can be distinguished in the substantiation of the competitiveness of university academic staff: 1) economists and business scientists, based on competition theories, use basic knowledge, findings in the development of the substantiation of competitiveness; 2) representatives of educational sciences and psychology develop a philosophical methodological base for research of specialists' competitiveness within their branches of science. In their research, the authors combine both of these approaches in conducting interdisciplinary research. Research results show that the competitiveness of the academic staff can be viewed in several aspects: 1) as a set of different characteristics (qualities) which are considered to be competitive advantages: 2) characteristics of competitive activities manifestations in the higher education environment. Three levels of the higher education environment are important in assessing the competitiveness of university teachers: the level of the local higher education environment (university level), the level of the national higher education environment and the level of the global higher education environment.
