“…Libaers and Wang (2012) indicated that expat scientists can be described as “entrepreneurial academics”, as they are more successful in attracting research resources, but less successful in exploiting their inventions through entrepreneurial activities. In Luczaj (2022a), conducted in Eastern European countries, entrepreneurial academics were single cases, which contrasted with a majority of non-entrepreneurial academics. Some articles looked at highly neglected issues concerning university missions, which are also difficult to measure, such as return mobility and brain-drain phenomena amongst scientists.…”

“…Other studies (Kurek-Ochmańska and Luczaj, 2021) focused on the geographic specificity of a career, showing that academic peripheries are attractive destinations for so-called “midlevel prestige professors” (as opposed to the “elite academics”). These destinations are perceived as less innovative in research and worse in quality of teaching (Luczaj 2022a, b), causing a specific geographic location to potentially lead to a “herd effect” (Bokek-Cohen and Davidovitch, 2014).…”

“…In the field of teaching, the biggest challenge was teaching overload, which results in less time for research. Teaching internationally requires an in-depth understanding of multicultural contexts, educational tradition and pedagogical settings (Shin and Gress, 2018), because overworked, underpaid and demotivated academics cannot contribute to institutional outcomes (Kwiek, 2018; Luczaj, 2022a, b). This overload was presented in many studies and, more recently, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has deepened this issue (Kulikowski et al ., 2021).…”

“…There is a gap when it comes to other geographical fields of research, for instance in Central and Eastern European countries. For this reason, the studies of Luczaj (2022aLuczaj ( , 2022b conducted on foreign-born academics working in post-communist Eastern European countries, bring in a new perspective. According to the author, in some countries with "peripheral academic systems", only highly motivated academics decide to migrate for personal reasons (for example, a spouse), background (for example, interest in post-communist politics), or a lack of other options (Luczaj, 2019(Luczaj, , 2022b.…”

PurposeThe main objective of this paper is twofold: to analyse the progress of a research stream concerning expatriate academics in the last four decades and to make recommendations for further studies in this field.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the systematic literature review (SLR) concerning expatriate academics was applied. The search embraced the period from 1980–2022. The review was performed in two interdisciplinary electronic databases: Web of Science and Scopus. The selection process of papers was conducted in steps, as recommended by the PRISMA protocol. The total pool of articles received after the exclusion criteria was 110. The content of each paper was thus extracted and categorised in Excel file: author, year of publication, tittle of article, journal, theory applied, research method, sample size, country/field of investigation.FindingsFor almost three decades this topic was almost absent in the literature of the subject. The most active publication period started from 2009 and since then there have been two “waves” of published articles devoted to expatriate academics: 2009–2014 and 2017–2021. The significant number of studies appeared in Journal of Global Mobility followed by Personnel Review, IJHRM, Higher Education. The thematic analysis revealed six themes which have been already researched on expatriates academics: (1) motives, (2) adjustment, (3) job factors and work outcomes, (4) academic missions, (5) academic career, (6) women and men in academia.Practical implicationsPractitioners and university management might find this article useful as the article allows to manage this pool of international academics more efficiently with mutual benefits for expatriates and organisations. This study may assist the university authorities to develop systemic approach to attract foreign academics; adjust the same in work and culture domain through effective training; support in organisational, financial and career field; create the performance criteria of expatriate work related to three missions: research, teaching and service; introduce metrics and indicators to evaluate the contribution and work outcomes of foreign scientists into the host university.Originality/valueThis review shows that there are many new perspectives and models through which the academic expatriation can be analysed. This paper gives an insight into the academic literature on academics expatriates. The paper is innovative and has contributed to research by doing an SLR in a new area (academic expats) and tackling all the areas that has been covered by academic research so far. New research directions have been recommended for future research, to open the field further.

“…Locally productive researchers are more likely to engage in academic entrepreneurship than cosmopolitan researchers who follow an international academic career because they have less time for entrepreneurial activities. Focusing on an academic career, especially on an international level, requires more time and reduces the likelihood of approaching an entrepreneurial career path (Luczaj 2022).…”

An academic spin-off (ASO) is an enterprise that is founded by researchers or students associated with a university or research institution. ASOs typically commercialize new technologies, products, or services that are based on results of academic research. However, ASOs often face barriers to long-term success. These barriers severely limit the economic and social impact of the research and innovation from ASOs, as well as discourage future researchers from starting their own ASOs. Furthermore, barriers can vary depending on the region and the industry and increase the complexity of this issue. So far very little research has been done to examine the barriers to ASOs in general or in specific industries and regions. Thus, the research question emerges as to what the general barriers to long-term success for ASOs in Europe are. To increase the understanding of the spin-off creation process, we conduct a systematic literature review of existing literature about ASOs and their barriers in general. Previous approaches already classify barriers into micro, meso, and macro levels. Other models exist that examine the spinning-off process with respect to a temporal level. In order to combine both dimensions, the frameworks mentioned above were merged in the first step and expanded with current research in the second step with a particular focus on barriers to long term success. Barriers for ASOs need to be addressed more in depth in order to fully realize their potential and to expand upon the existing literature of the general barriers of ASOs in Europe. Exploring these barriers yielded first results which include a limited access to funding and resources, lack of understanding of the creation of a business model, furthermore a lack of infrastructure and difficulty in establishing and sustaining a network with industry partners. Addressing these barriers will require targeted policies, funding, and training programs that enhance entrepreneurial skills and promote collaboration between ASOs and industry partners. Our findings provide insights that can help to improve the success rate of ASOs in Europe and encourage the development of innovative solutions to address societal challenges.

Platform is a business stage where people and technology share the information and make the business ecosystem through the network effect. It is a state-of-the-art technology for business. Platform business is an interaction of the network effects which creates profit in multidimensional way. It encourages business growth and efficiency, which is both exponentially and asymptotically. A platform is a creation which helps and empowers other products and amenities. Digital platforms occur at many levels in internet-based businesses and business models with blockchain technology. They array from high-level platforms to enable a platform business model to a low-level platform which provides an assembly line of business and technology dimensions that other products or services consume to deliver their own business capabilities. This paper deliberates the analysis of platform learning business approaches and secure business transactions like blockchain technology. Platform business along with secure business intelligence (BI) is now a prerequisite of the frontrunners for noble organizations to keep customers active, alive and compete the business in the digital age. Blockchain technology plays a vital role in this issue. Presently, businesses implement attract data-driven, network-driven, cloud-driven and blockchain technology platform-intensive approaches. Artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning are playing a great role in analyzing the data and classifying customer patterns and retaining customers in the business principles of market. Currently, we are competent enough to analyze online and offline data using these intelligent business tools. These business tools are very useful to identify customers’ marketing trends and their buying patterns. Securities in the business are more demanding and need professional ventures. Business people are now copious, focused and vigilant for secure transactions and demand blockchain technology-based platforms. Blockchain technology is nowadays becoming a boon for industrialists to keep their transactions more secure. As businesses and industries grow, they are now using blockchain technology to secure and track the items in supply chain management using digital platforms and BI. This concept is very relevant in the current scenario and state-of-the-art business platforms. We have exasperated the study in this direction, that is, how to concentrate on strategic revolution in financial sector with various innovative econometrics and simulator tools. This paper also addresses the recent research gap in the secure digital platform and analyzes the state-of-the-art methodology for the optimized solutions for the industry.
