The impact of inter-organisational alliance network structures on R&D is diverse, depending on product characteristics and other factors. In our previous study, we analysed the inter-organisational collaboration relationships between pharmaceutical manufacturers and bio-venture companies, and found that different network structures enhanced R&D outcomes, depending on the differences among conventional small molecule drugs, biopharmaceuticals and formulation development. In this study, the analysis focused on healthcare digital networks, which are expected to be useful not only in combating the recent novel coronavirus but also in improving the efficiency of healthcare resources in the long term.As an analysis method, the method of social network analysis was used to analyse inter-organisational collaboration data and patent data of 100 major companies in the world.The results of the analysis showed that the size and between centrality of the network may promote R&D, and the results differed depending on the area of R&D. On the other hand, cohesiveness and closeness were not significantly related to R&D outcomes. Future work should include country-specific and long-term comparisons.

The evolution of this system highlights the multiplication of tax expenditures and the importance of these tax expenditures relating to VAT, followed by corporation tax, registration and stamp duties, and those related to income tax.By sector of activity, the evolution of tax expenditures reveals the large share of tax expenditures granted to the real estate sector followed by those attributed to the energy sector.The tourism and printing and publishing sectors are the least important sectors in terms of tax incentives granted compared to all sectors of activity.The analysis of the efficiency of tax expenditures according to the DEA method, by retaining tax expenditures by sector of activity in Inputs and their respective added values in Output, shows a downward trend in the average efficiency score of all sectors of activity over the 2007-2019 period, which fell from 0.6 in 2007 to 0.52 in 2019. The automotive and chemical industries and real estate industries show a relatively high degree of efficiency in the use of tax expenditures, while the publishing, printing and industrial sectors food have been shown to be less effective hence the need to consider a far-reaching reform of the tax incentive system.

Disruptions and changes penetrate across national and organizational clusters and impact organizational outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to aid organizations, strategists and practitioners to consider adopting transnational and transorganization systems thinking in their decision processes. In the transnational arena, organizations transact, collaborate, and compete with multiple organizations across national and regional boundaries. They pursue their goals while responding to the needs and characteristics of one another through the formulation and implementation of transorganization strategies. Transnational settings are composed of dynamic transorganization systems and clusters of interacting organizations reaching beyond national boundaries and regions. They can respond to the changing conditions and needs -- both internally and externally. This paper presents the strategic variables characterizing transorganization systems, the emerging transnational and global trends affecting such systems, and their implications for organizational strategists.

A questionnaire with a reliability coefficient (0.93) at a very high level was used in this study. Cluster sampling collected 400 customers from Shabu restaurants in Ubon Ratchathani province: Shabu Indy, Wan Moo Shabu, Pra Whale Jaidee Shabu, and others. The statistics were descriptive, correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that independent variables correlated with customer satisfaction at a high level (r = 0.782). The service marketing mix 7Ps and the corporate image can predict customer satisfaction by 59.3% (r2 = 0. 593). Three variables affect the satisfaction of customers, which are the regression coefficient of trust (? = 0.30), corporate reputation (? = 0.20), and physical evidence (? = 0.15), respectively. However personal traits of Shabu customers didn?t affect their satisfaction with Shabu clients. The research, therefore, recommends Shabu restaurants review and evaluate their customer database to include service marketing mix and corporate image.

We use the actor?network theory approach to illustrate the interaction of human (people) and nonhuman (technology) actors. In particular, we focus on digital finance platform abuse and fraud. Our empirical data are based on criminal reports of vehicle financing. We identify the main actors; actor-worlds; roles of the actors; their interests; and the obligatory passage points in destabilizing the durability of a digital finance platform. Our findings particularly highlight the dual roles of the perpetrator, dealer, and product in dishonest vulnerability on digital finance platforms. Prior literature has not focused on approaches to the dishonest vulnerability of technology for human and nonhuman actors. We have used a critical approach, actor-network theory, to explore digital finance and digital finance platforms. Our findings suggest, that in the development of digital financial platforms, both in technology and in business processes, more attention should be paid to the dual roles of actors to avoid dishonest vulnerabilities.
