“…The internationalization of higher education has become increasingly important in recent decades ( Van der Wende, 2007;Romani et al, 2021). In Latin America, this process is still in its early stages in most countries (Malaver Rodríguez, 2016;Quintero-Quintero et al, 2022).…”

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in research productivity between doctoral degree holders from European and North American universities, and doctoral degree holders from Peru. Theoretical framework: Internationalization of higher education has become a phenomenon of great relevance in recent years (Romani et al., 2021), allowing an increasing number of doctoral researchers to study in foreign countries. However, little evidence has been generated in Latin America. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses an explanatory approach based on data mining that analyze data from 863 researchers from 24 public and private universities in Perú, according to the two categories of productivity (high and low) defined by the National Scientific Research Agency. Findings: The results show that of all the factors analyzed, the country of doctoral study is the most important variable in predicting the scientific productivity of researchers. This situation is confirmed when analyzing the number of publications made by researchers according to their category, where a clear tendency in favor of researchers who studied abroad can be seen. Research, Practical & Social implications: The results suggest that international academics are more likely to publish in top-tier journals. Also, the results may be applicable to other countries, but more studies are going to be necessary. Originality/Value: The results of this investigation are relevant, because studies about the academic internationalization effects on scientific productivity are scarce and no previous studies about this topic have been conducted in Latin America.

Branding a small state as an innovation business partner

Place Brand Public Dipl

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Approximately 50 small countries depend on international cooperation for their survival as sovereign nations. This case study contributes to the discussion of cosmopolitanism versus internationalism in public diplomacy and place branding. It argues that limited bilateral partnerships with universities and businesses based on government-to-government agreements and shared interest are a safer strategy for small countries seeking reputational security than outspoken support for cosmopolitan values. This strategy is a very useful form of place branding, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty. The case examined is Innovation Centre Denmark, with offices in innovation hotspots in various countries. It organizes its activities as bilateral triple helixes, inspired by the work of Henry Etzkowitz and his colleagues. The center developed as part of a nation branding strategy launched by Denmark, a small Nordic country, following the so-called Muhammad crisis in 2005–2006. Then Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen described the controversy as Denmark’s worst international relations incident since WW2, as it damaged the country’s brand in some parts of the world. The article is multidisciplinary in nature, as it combines theories from international relations, business studies, and communication. The public diplomacy approach adopted is primarily represented by Nicholas Cull and his colleagues.

This research study aimed to explore the socially constructed performance appraisal strategies human resource managers need to improve the organizational work unit climate. Socially constructed performance appraisal strategies advocate for the employee based on social context, societal norms, and values. The methodology used was a qualitative exploratory study that explored the experiences of fifteen human resource managers, consultants, and practitioners who had knowledge, developed, or implemented socially constructed performance appraisal processes and practices to improve the organizational work unit climate. The theoretical basis for the research study was centered on three concepts--performance appraisal, organizational work unit climate, and performance appraisal strategies---and how organizational control theory intertwined with social exchange theory related to an organization’s performance appraisal practices, which influence employees’ perceptions of accuracy, trust, and fairness. The findings show the emergence of several themes, including challenges associated with the performance appraisal process, socially constructed performance appraisal characteristics, effective strategies for improving the organizational work unit climate, assessment of a socially constructed performance appraisal process, and the importance of social exchange theory when designing and administering socially constructed performance appraisal processes. Additional examination focused on the correlation between the organizational work unit climate and organization performance before and after the application of socially constructed performance appraisal process strategies.
