“…In the humanities, the literature has also looked at bohemian figures that nurture discourse on public intellectualism (Baert, ; Brass, ). Across the fields, intellectual leadership presupposes, on the one hand, a range of mental, emotional and relational capacities that a scholar employs to build trust as the basis for wider communication and engagement (Macfarlane, ; Rooney & McKenna, ), and on the other hand, certain socio‐historic circumstances and institutional conditions that enable the breaking of norms and boundaries for the purposes of advancing new knowledge (Baert, ; Oleksiyenko, ; Uslu & Welch, ). Ingenuity, inventiveness, courage and creativity all come together to create impact in epistemic and lay communities.…”

“…The authority and power of intellectual leaders primarily relate to the power of their printed ideas (in traditional or new media), as well as to a sustained recognition of their impact by scholarly communities and the public at large (Bender, ). Researchers can certainly have more opportunities for developing such authority and power by doing research on the cutting edge of global scholarship, and facilitating new organisational forms of stakeholder engagement (Uslu & Welch, ; Whitley, ). In global science, academic freedom encourages critical inquiry and feedback, while innovative approaches in conceptualisation, methodology and writing re‐energise collegial engagement (Bilgrami & Cole, ).…”

This paper re‐examines intellectual leadership in Higher Education by asking the following questions: What is intellectual leadership? Does intellectual leadership imply a position of formal authority and power? What patterns can be observed in the career paths of intellectual leaders? Does cumulative advantage in science automatically pave the way for intellectual leadership? What hinders women and minority scholars from taking on intellectual leadership in their epistemic communities? Drawing on discussions in the literature of the previous decade, the inquiry aims to re‐energise dialogue that is essential for resistance to anti‐intellectualism and proletarianisation in academe.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of personal and inter-firm networks and the elements that contribute to the formation and management of these networks for regional small businesses. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 small business owners located in regional areas. Findings The findings highlight key characteristics of regional small business owners’ networks. Findings indicated that participants relied strongly on their personal networks for business purposes. This study shows that while personal networks adapted and changed into informal inter-firm networks, weak-tie relations within inter-firm networks were unlikely to develop into close personal networks. Novel findings also include a preference for “regional interactions” and included regular collaboration with local business competitors. Although the participants used social media to manage their business through personal networks, results confirmed there was a lack of awareness of the benefits of inter-firm networks with businesses outside the local region. Originality/value While it is acknowledged small business owners use personal and inter-firm connections to maintain and grow their business, there is a lack of research examining both of these networks in the same study. This research addresses this gap and presents five propositions as a useful direction for future research. This paper adds to the evolution of existing knowledge by expanding understanding of the formation of business networks and conditions of business trust relations within a regional context.

Academic leadership is considered a key factor in university and research institute development. In a competitive environment, the role of academic leadership has become increasingly important. At present, China is committed to building world-class universities and advanced research institutes, while academic leadership is one of the key factors. Thus, what is the ideal academic leadership in China’s institutional environment? What professional qualities should principal investigators have? This study investigates these issues with in-depth interviews of six principal investigators. The finding shows that the definition of academic leadership by principal investigators refers to academic expertise, assigning the team member, setting a direction, academic social skills, managing team member relationships, boosting team morale, and teamwork skills. Furthermore, academic expertise is often supposed to be more important than other abilities. In terms of competence, the definitions of leadership by Chinese principal investigators and the literature on Western academic leadership are similar.
