It investigates various tactics and measures intended to lessen the frequency and severity of these injuries.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: A comprehensive survey of pertinent literature was conducted for determining viable solutions to prevent concussion, namely helmet design (Rowson et al., 2014), training methodology (Shanley et al., 2021), and policy implementation (Emery et al., 2017; Obana et al., 2021). The decision matrix was used as a tool to evaluate and compare different options, which were assessed based on the criteria of the least amount of political or media resistance, ease of measurement, convenience of implementation, and maximum purpose.
Findings: Policy development, player education, equipment improvements, and medical assistance are important components. College football can successfully reduce the risk of concussions and head injuries among its players by implementing thorough concussion management policies and protocols that prioritize player safety, encouraging a culture of awareness and responsibility, and utilizing advancements in protective equipment technology.
Research Limitation: As leaders, stakeholders, and individual practitioners all have various roles to play, further studies may be conducted to explore these roles. The researchers may also evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies for reducing concussions in college football.
Managerial Implications: In order to safeguard the long-term health and safety of players, this study underlines the significance of giving player well-being a high priority and putting forth specific preventive measures.
Originality/ Value: The study is an addition to the current body of knowledge, as it brings into spotlight some important improvements which can be strengthened as well as streamlined at the local, national, and worldwide levels, and thus the industry and sports professionals may play a big part in resolving this issue.

It investigates communication nuances, decision-making processes, and leadership paradigms within multicultural settings. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing case studies, in-depth interviews, and systematic observations as primary data collection methods. To ensure the reliability of the research, rigorous validation techniques, such as triangulation, were implemented. Findings: Cultural diversity within multinational teams profoundly influences communication and decision-making. Successful leadership in these contexts necessitates understanding and adapting to cultural variances. Key attributes for leaders include cultural intelligence, adaptability, and flexibility. The significance of cultural norms, practices, and role stress in determining leadership efficacy was also underscored. Research Limitation: While the study offers in-depth insights, it acknowledges the need for further research with more extensive quantitative data to provide a holistic understanding of cross-cultural management dynamics. Future studies might also explore the impact of digital communication tools on cross-cultural interactions or delve deeper into the nuances of role stress across different cultures. Managerial Implications: Organizations should emphasize developing cultural intelligence among their leadership and workforce. Initiatives should include diversity training, promoting inclusive leadership, adapting ethics programs to local cultures, and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. Clear career trajectories, especially for marginalized groups, can further enhance retention. Originality/Value: This research augments existing literature on cross-cultural management, emphasizing its pivotal role in global organizational success. The study offers invaluable insights for scholars and industry practitioners in cross-cultural management by integrating theoretical and practical perspectives and suggesting avenues for future research. Keywords: Cross-Cultural Management, Cultural Diversity, Cultural Conflict, Cultural Intelligence, Decision-making, Leadership Styles, Multinational Teams, Qualitative Research.

Rules Written in Blood: A Case Study of Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry

Delhi Business Review, Vol. 24, No. 1 (January - June 2023), pp. 1 – 16, ISSN (Print) 0972-222X, ISSN (Online) 2277-7725, 2023

Purpose: The study aims to investigate how and when the oil and gas industry adopts industry best practices and enhanced standards addressing process safety and operational integrity after catastrophic events. Design/Methodology/Approach: We reviewed the literature available for disastrous incidents that shaped the oil and gas industry with a special reference to three distinct catastrophic events: Piper Alpha (1988), Deepwater Horizon (2010) and Ku-Maloob-Zapp (KUMAZA) (2021). Three primary case studies were evaluated to understand the cycle of creation and adoption of industrial standards meant to address risk management related to process safety and operational integrity in the industry. Findings: We have proposed an adoption cycle for how the industry reacts to catastrophic events, with respect to the adoption of best practices, and creation of enhanced standards, to address the root causes of these events. System 1 thinking dominated initial reactions to each catastrophic event, through the integration of existing standards. System 2 thinking drives the formulation of enhanced standards which more thoroughly deal with additional factors which contributed to compelling events. Research Limitations: Future research may explore the nuances related to the timeline for adoption of industry best practices once a standard is published by API, ISO, or another SME. These nuances could include different organizational profiles for companies adopting a standard. Managerial Implications: This study offered insights into risk management as applied to process safety in oil and gas operations. There exists a lag between the creation of industry best practices through the publication of standards, and the adoption of these practices. Originality/Value: Future researchers may research and generalize findings beyond the current parameters of this study. Key Words: Operational Integrity, Process Safety, Quality Systems, Risk Management, Risk Mitigation, Safety Standards.

Scanning the International Business Environment of Norway: What MNCs Need to Know before Entering into the Market of Norway

in 1905 and was one of the world leaders in shipbuilding and an important global transporter of goods. Over
the last hundred years, offshore oil and natural gas have become Norway’s prominent industry and it is currently
one of the world’s leading exporters of petroleum. The research design employed is the qualitative research
methodology. Review of existing publications such as journals, newspaper books etc. was carried out. Norway’s
population has elevated levels of education and of productivity, and it is among the world’s top innovative
countries. It is also very highly rated for ease of doing business. Norway has one of the strongest democracies
in the world and is one of the world’s least corrupt countries. Overall, it may prove to be one of the least risky
countries to deal with in terms of political soundness, as well as in the strength of its economy. Qualitative
methodology requires more time to review a good number of publications. One of the limitations of this research is time. This paper provides comprehensive analysis of Norway’s socio-economic and political environments. Thus, the paper should be useful to MNCs who plan to invest in existing companies in Norway or start up a new business in Norway. It highlights the opportunities and the risks of doing business in Norway. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) environment and regulations, financial and fiscal policies, and most other important aspects of the country that should be considered before doing business in the country are critically reviewed in this paper.

The Ukrainian War as a Catalyst for Deglobalization and a Return to Totalitarianism for the Russian Federation

by M. Saeed and Tiodor Grujovic

Splint International Journal of Professionals Print ISSN: 2349-6045; Online ISSN: 2583-3561 Vol. 9, Issue 4, October-December 2022 pp. 197–211, 2022

Additionally, the article includes cultural dimensions, international indexes and rankings which frame Russia’s current state of affairs. President Putin’s background and orchestrations during his reign further explain Russia’s situation with possible trajectories for the Russian Federation. The research design employed secondary research of published materials. The research then provided a starting point from which four scenarios describing Russia’s future were developed. The Russian Federation is at a crossroads. Given its unprovoked attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has been forcibly decoupled from the global financial and global trade systems. Currently, Russia is losing the Ukraine War and future scenarios for Russia are bounded between a pessimistic scenario and an optimistic scenario. The pessimistic scenario is one in which Russia again becomes a totalitarian state that has limited economic contact with countries of the Western alliance. The optimistic scenario is one in which Putin is deposed, the country’s political system turns away from dictatorship and Russia rejoins the globalized world economy. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. This approach meant that a time-intensive review of a large number of publications was necessary. However, given the timely nature of the topic, the article excludes developments reported after December 2022 to develop four plausible future scenarios for Russia. This article seeks to understand the Russian Federation’s future trajectory and how this trajectory will affect trade, foreign direct investment, economics, and business. This article critically examines Russia’s political, economic and social environments, as well as the sanctions that have been placed on Russia circa December 2022. These materials allow analysts to better understand Russia’s decoupling from the global economic environment and if Russia might return to the global economic environment or not.

Demographic variables focused on females, and males, age, level of education, position within the organization and the organization's size were examined through exploratory research. The research pointed to females being more supportive of DEI activities as compared to males. Younger employees were more supportive of DEI as compared to older employees. Higher-educated employees were more supportive of DEI activities as compared to less educated employees and employees, in general, were more supportive of DEI activities as compared to upper management except when separating the upper management responses between smaller and larger organizations. Upper-level management at larger organizations, organizations of 100+ employees, were supportive of DEI activities as compared to upper-level management at organizations with less than 100 employees. The research provides insights into demographic groups that might benefit from additional coaching in understanding the value of a DEI initiative.

100 Years of Recessions: Lessons Learned, But Not Applied

International Journal of Organizational Business Excellence (IJOBEX), Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2022, pp. 1 – 12, Print ISSN: 2622-8793, Online ISSN: 2621-654X. , 2022

While literature has narrowed a set of causes for major recessions, such as in the Great Recession, fewer attempts have been identified to place each event in context as a series. By comparing causes, treatments, and outcomes of major recessions through the past century with a global perspective, beginning with the Great Depression and ending with the COVID-19 Recession, trends in governmental policy emerge as a framework in which recessions occur and are addressed. The use of fiscal relief packages, or "bailouts," and deregulation of mergers, acquisitions, and derivative swaps are assessed as factors in the expansion of the TBTF mentality.

It investigates communication nuances, decision-making processes, and leadership paradigms within multicultural settings. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing case studies, in-depth interviews, and systematic observations as primary data collection methods. To ensure the reliability of the research, rigorous validation techniques, such as triangulation, were implemented. Findings: Cultural diversity within multinational teams profoundly influences communication and decision-making. Successful leadership in these contexts necessitates understanding and adapting to cultural variances. Key attributes for leaders include cultural intelligence, adaptability, and flexibility. The significance of cultural norms, practices, and role stress in determining leadership efficacy was also underscored. Research Limitation: While the study offers in-depth insights, it acknowledges the need for further research with more extensive quantitative data to provide a holistic understanding of cross-cultural management dynamics. Future studies might also explore the impact of digital communication tools on cross-cultural interactions or delve deeper into the nuances of role stress across different cultures. Managerial Implications: Organizations should emphasize developing cultural intelligence among their leadership and workforce. Initiatives should include diversity training, promoting inclusive leadership, adapting ethics programs to local cultures, and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. Clear career trajectories, especially for marginalized groups, can further enhance retention. Originality/Value: This research augments existing literature on cross-cultural management, emphasizing its pivotal role in global organizational success. The study offers invaluable insights for scholars and industry practitioners in cross-cultural management by integrating theoretical and practical perspectives and suggesting avenues for future research. Keywords: Cross-Cultural Management, Cultural Diversity, Cultural Conflict, Cultural Intelligence, Decision-making, Leadership Styles, Multinational Teams, Qualitative Research.

Rules Written in Blood: A Case Study of Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry

Purpose: The study aims to investigate how and when the oil and gas industry adopts industry best practices and enhanced standards addressing process safety and operational integrity after catastrophic events. Design/Methodology/Approach: We reviewed the literature available for disastrous incidents that shaped the oil and gas industry with a special reference to three distinct catastrophic events: Piper Alpha (1988), Deepwater Horizon (2010) and Ku-Maloob-Zapp (KUMAZA) (2021). Three primary case studies were evaluated to understand the cycle of creation and adoption of industrial standards meant to address risk management related to process safety and operational integrity in the industry. Findings: We have proposed an adoption cycle for how the industry reacts to catastrophic events, with respect to the adoption of best practices, and creation of enhanced standards, to address the root causes of these events. System 1 thinking dominated initial reactions to each catastrophic event, through the integration of existing standards. System 2 thinking drives the formulation of enhanced standards which more thoroughly deal with additional factors which contributed to compelling events. Research Limitations: Future research may explore the nuances related to the timeline for adoption of industry best practices once a standard is published by API, ISO, or another SME. These nuances could include different organizational profiles for companies adopting a standard. Managerial Implications: This study offered insights into risk management as applied to process safety in oil and gas operations. There exists a lag between the creation of industry best practices through the publication of standards, and the adoption of these practices. Originality/Value: Future researchers may research and generalize findings beyond the current parameters of this study. Key Words: Operational Integrity, Process Safety, Quality Systems, Risk Management, Risk Mitigation, Safety Standards.

Scanning the International Business Environment of Norway: What MNCs Need to Know before Entering into the Market of Norway

in 1905 and was one of the world leaders in shipbuilding and an important global transporter of goods. Over
the last hundred years, offshore oil and natural gas have become Norway’s prominent industry and it is currently
one of the world’s leading exporters of petroleum. The research design employed is the qualitative research
methodology. Review of existing publications such as journals, newspaper books etc. was carried out. Norway’s
population has elevated levels of education and of productivity, and it is among the world’s top innovative
countries. It is also very highly rated for ease of doing business. Norway has one of the strongest democracies
in the world and is one of the world’s least corrupt countries. Overall, it may prove to be one of the least risky
countries to deal with in terms of political soundness, as well as in the strength of its economy. Qualitative
methodology requires more time to review a good number of publications. One of the limitations of this research is time. This paper provides comprehensive analysis of Norway’s socio-economic and political environments. Thus, the paper should be useful to MNCs who plan to invest in existing companies in Norway or start up a new business in Norway. It highlights the opportunities and the risks of doing business in Norway. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) environment and regulations, financial and fiscal policies, and most other important aspects of the country that should be considered before doing business in the country are critically reviewed in this paper.

The Ukrainian War as a Catalyst for Deglobalization and a Return to Totalitarianism for the Russian Federation

by M. Saeed and Tiodor Grujovic

Splint International Journal of Professionals Print ISSN: 2349-6045; Online ISSN: 2583-3561 Vol. 9, Issue 4, October-December 2022 pp. 197–211, 2022

Additionally, the article includes cultural dimensions, international indexes and rankings which frame Russia’s current state of affairs. President Putin’s background and orchestrations during his reign further explain Russia’s situation with possible trajectories for the Russian Federation. The research design employed secondary research of published materials. The research then provided a starting point from which four scenarios describing Russia’s future were developed. The Russian Federation is at a crossroads. Given its unprovoked attack on Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has been forcibly decoupled from the global financial and global trade systems. Currently, Russia is losing the Ukraine War and future scenarios for Russia are bounded between a pessimistic scenario and an optimistic scenario. The pessimistic scenario is one in which Russia again becomes a totalitarian state that has limited economic contact with countries of the Western alliance. The optimistic scenario is one in which Putin is deposed, the country’s political system turns away from dictatorship and Russia rejoins the globalized world economy. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. This approach meant that a time-intensive review of a large number of publications was necessary. However, given the timely nature of the topic, the article excludes developments reported after December 2022 to develop four plausible future scenarios for Russia. This article seeks to understand the Russian Federation’s future trajectory and how this trajectory will affect trade, foreign direct investment, economics, and business. This article critically examines Russia’s political, economic and social environments, as well as the sanctions that have been placed on Russia circa December 2022. These materials allow analysts to better understand Russia’s decoupling from the global economic environment and if Russia might return to the global economic environment or not.

Demographic variables focused on females, and males, age, level of education, position within the organization and the organization's size were examined through exploratory research. The research pointed to females being more supportive of DEI activities as compared to males. Younger employees were more supportive of DEI as compared to older employees. Higher-educated employees were more supportive of DEI activities as compared to less educated employees and employees, in general, were more supportive of DEI activities as compared to upper management except when separating the upper management responses between smaller and larger organizations. Upper-level management at larger organizations, organizations of 100+ employees, were supportive of DEI activities as compared to upper-level management at organizations with less than 100 employees. The research provides insights into demographic groups that might benefit from additional coaching in understanding the value of a DEI initiative.

100 Years of Recessions: Lessons Learned, But Not Applied

While literature has narrowed a set of causes for major recessions, such as in the Great Recession, fewer attempts have been identified to place each event in context as a series. By comparing causes, treatments, and outcomes of major recessions through the past century with a global perspective, beginning with the Great Depression and ending with the COVID-19 Recession, trends in governmental policy emerge as a framework in which recessions occur and are addressed. The use of fiscal relief packages, or "bailouts," and deregulation of mergers, acquisitions, and derivative swaps are assessed as factors in the expansion of the TBTF mentality.
