Author:  L Kareem Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract The European Union (EU) and India have entered a visibly intensified phase of partnership-building, with trade, technology governance, connectivity, and strategic cooperation moving from long-term aspiration to near-term policy delivery. This article examines the “new partnership wave” around early 2026—marked by high-level political signaling, renewed institutional mechanisms, and a strong narrative of resilienc

Author:  M Elsen Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Greenland is not a member of the EU, but its economy is becoming more important to the EU's future. This article talks about why Greenland's fisheries, minerals, energy potential, data and satellite infrastructure, and new Arctic logistics are becoming important for European industries and public policy. The analysis links "hard" economic channels like trade, inputs, investment, and infrastructure with "soft" chan

Author:  L. Verma Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract “Agentic AI” (systems that can plan, decide, and execute multi-step tasks with limited human prompting) is quickly moving from technology demos into real sector operations—especially in travel and hospitality, where booking, pricing, staffing, disruption management, and guest service are already data-rich and workflow-driven. This article explains why agentic AI is a sectoral  phenomenon: its value and risks depe

Author: L. Marwick Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Creative industries like film, music, design, gaming, fashion, advertising, architecture, publishing, and digital content have gone from being on the fringes of culture to being at the heart of modern economies. But public debate still sees creativity as either a "soft" value or a luxury good, while innovation is mostly seen as technological. This article contends that creative industries are not marginal to in

Author:  L Kareem Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Family businesses are very important for jobs, new ideas, and the stability of the local community, but their biggest weakness is still succession. Previous research has focused on governance structures, successor competencies, and financial planning; however, insufficient emphasis has been placed on the preservation of social capital as the "invisible infrastructure" that ensures continuity across generations. T

Author:  L.Hartwell Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Educational institutions are being asked to do more than teach. They are expected to protect learners, prove outcomes, comply with fast-changing regulation, compete in global markets, and maintain trust in environments shaped by artificial intelligence, platform economies, demographic shifts, and geopolitical uncertainty. This article examines educational leadership and institutional governance  as a connected

Author:  K. Marwan Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Urban transformation is often described with visible outcomes—new skylines, rising rents, displaced communities, and “revitalized” districts. Yet behind these outcomes sits a set of economic forces that operate through real estate markets: land values, credit conditions, investor expectations, regulatory choices, and platform-based demand (for example, short-term rentals). This article offers a structured, theor

Author:  L. Kareem Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Sports management has become a high-stakes discipline shaped by two forces that can no longer be separated: branding and the economics of global events. Elite competitions, mega-events, and international tours now function as multi-platform brand systems where attention is converted into revenue, legitimacy, and long-term influence. At the same time, sports organizations face intensifying scrutiny over costs, pu

Author:  L Moretti Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Tourism is frequently described as a “growth engine” because it creates jobs, attracts foreign exchange, stimulates small business formation, and accelerates infrastructure development. Yet the same sector can also amplify inequality, degrade ecosystems, inflate housing costs, and increase carbon emissions—especially when growth is measured only by arrivals, receipts, and short-term investment. This article exam

Author:  Dr. L Kareem Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract As wellness becomes a main organising principle instead of a side activity, healthcare management is going through a structural change. In the past, wellness was mostly about teaching people about public health or giving them the chance to change their habits. Now, it is a part of the strategy for healthcare, funding, digital infrastructure, and the identity of businesses. Health systems, insurers, employers,

Author:  M. Alston Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)—especially large language models (LLMs) and automated text, image, and data tools—is rapidly changing how research is produced, evaluated, and published. This article examines AI’s growing role across the academic research lifecycle and peer review systems, focusing on opportunities (speed, access, error detection) and risks (bias amplification, new forms of misconduct, opacity, and

Author: Zarina Akhmetova Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Data-driven decision making (DDDM) has gone from being a technical goal to something that schools and other educational institutions expect of everyone. Schools, colleges, and universities are being pushed to show that they are fair, efficient, and successful in helping students learn. Digital systems also create huge amounts of data, like admissions profiles, assessment records, learning management syste

Author:  Aida Karimova Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Summary People often say that Open Access (OA) publishing is a simple answer to an old problem: research is done for the public good, but many readers can't afford to pay for it. By getting rid of price barriers for readers, OA promises to make scholarly knowledge more available, speed up innovation, and make education more fair. But "democratisation" is more than just opening doors. It also has to do with who gets t

Author:  L. Kareem (Independent Researcher) Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Case study methodology continues to be one of the most effective and intellectually significant methods in business research, as it enables scholars to examine intricate organisational realities within their contextual framework. A lot of the most important business questions aren't just about "what" happened, but also about "how" and "why" things happened over time. This includes things

Author:  L.Hartwell Affiliation:  Independent Researcher People often talked about AI in 2025 as a series of "fights." These included fights over rules, lawsuits over data and copyright, geopolitical disputes over chips and cloud capacity, and fierce competition among companies to release models that could do more and more. This article contends that numerous conflicts did not "conclude" in 2025 but rather transformed—from vociferous, headline-oriented confrontations to more

Author:  L.Kareem Affiliation:  Independent Researcher Abstract Case study methodology remains one of the most widely used approaches in business research because it helps scholars examine complex, real-world phenomena in their natural contexts. It is especially valuable when the research problem involves multiple interacting factors—such as digital transformation, crisis management, service quality in tourism, supply-chain disruptions, sustainability transitions, or institut

Author:  L. Hartmann Affiliation:  Independent Researcher People often say that creativity, R&D budgets, or "good leadership" lead to innovation. But a lot of companies with smart people and a lot of money still have trouble coming up with new ideas all the time. This article posits that a more dependable explanation resides in knowledge capital: the aggregated, organised, and deployable reservoir of expertise, competencies, procedures, connections, and credibility that enabl

Author: L. Kowalska Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Higher education systems worldwide are experiencing an unparalleled phase of global integration. Universities in a variety of social, economic, and cultural settings now experience comparable pressures to conform to international standards in quality assurance, accreditation, governance, research evaluation, and internationalisation. These pressures create what organisational theorists call institutional isom

Author: Sara El-Mahdi Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Changes in research, academia, and knowledge management (KM) are happening faster because of digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), open science mandates, global competition, and changing expectations in society. Academic institutions are no longer just places to learn and do research. They are also complicated knowledge ecosystems where both explicit and implicit knowledge flows through digit

Author: O. El-Masri Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract In the last ten years, Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) has changed more than ever before. Global disruptions like geopolitical tensions, pandemics, energy crises, labour shortages, extreme weather events, and digitalisation have made businesses rethink how they plan, coordinate, and run production networks. Recent research (2020–2025) shows that resilience, sustainability, visibility, and digita
