Straipsnyje pateiktų tyrimų rezultatai rodo, kad vykstant farmacijos ir biotechnologijų plėtrai žmonės vis daugiau vartoja įvairių rūšių vaistų gydymuisi ir profilaktikai. Esant didelei vaistinių preparatų paklausai, šalių vyriausybės skiria daug dėmesio farmacijos pramonei. Kadangi vaistai tiesiogiai susiję su žmonių sveikata ir gyvybe, valstybės ypatingą dėmesį skiria vaistų saugumui ir kokybės reikalavimams. Viena iš pagrindinių priemonių-farmacinės veiklos licencijavimas. Dėl šios priežasties farmacijos įmonės privalo gauti licenciją ir vėliau siekti ją išlaikyti. Tinkamai veikianti intelektinės nuosavybės apsauga leidžia kompanijoms investicijas naudoti naujiems patentiniams vaistams ir gydymo būdams kurti bei atlikti tyrimus. Reikšminiai žodžiai: farmacijos pramonė, intelektinės nuosavybės apsauga, patentiniai ir generiniai vaistai, licencijuota veikla, licencijavimas.

Based on this concept, many cities declared the importance of CI development as a sustainable urban development strategy. The long-term impact of CI development on the urban economy was not extensively studied. This study aims to explore the following research question: What are the critical factors that stimulate sustainable urban development through the development of creative industries (CI)? To answer this question, the case of the city of Vilnius was analyzed. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. For the quantitative analysis data, statistical data for the period 2009–2019 were analyzed. To gain a deeper understanding of the development factors of Vilnius’s CI, document analysis and interviews with Vilnius’s CI experts were conducted. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (FsQCA) was used to analyze the impact of factors on Vilnius’ CI growth.

Concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere have increased sharply, followed by an increase in global average temperatures. However, business activities related to environmental protection are mostly focused on the implementation of legal rules instead of voluntary initiatives such as green innovation due to doubts about costs and profit. The goal of this research is to identify the impact of green innovation on economic growth in an innovative environment and digitalization conditions by using sophisticated indexes and regression analysis. The results show that green innovations have a positive impact on economic growth in the European Union (EU). However, the impact of digitalization on economic growth is still under discussion and depends on qualitative aspects of coverage and how they are reflected in digitalization indicators. It is important to emphasize that the data of ...

Historically, in order to overcome economic disparities in disadvantaged regions, national governments have been taking various strategies for the existing low-tech and cheap-labourbased industry stimulation. However, within open economies and human resource mobility these measures prove to be not sustainable in the long run unless they offer significant benefits associated with life quality. The rise of cultural and creative industries might offer such a complex solution in terms of occupations, cultural development, and variety of activities in the regions. Based on this, we aim to address the question: what factors are important for stimulation of sustainable regional development via cultural and creative

The creative industries involve the concretization of an image, through whatever medium for some form of economic return. However, the nature of experience goods makes demand pattern unpredictable and production process difficult to control. The uncertainty of demand for the creative product, pose managerial and organizational challenges. The structure and staffing of creative projects are often temporary, as are capital investment. Success is dependent on the composition of projects teams with individuals and groups working in a highly interactive and adaptive fashioning of the product: Despite this fact, a great deal of research conducted in the area of group dynamics suggests that groups are often much less creative and productive than they are usually assumed. The important question of how to manage creative teams to achieve a high productivity with limited resources and time arises in innovation management both from the theoretical and practical points of view. There is still no clarity which factors affecting productivity of teamwork are more important than others. The study was aimed at the identification most important factors for the productivity of teamwork. The survey of 113 student creative teams in 8 counties (

Pagrindinė verslininko antreprenerio orientacija – verslo naujovių paieška – neišvengiamai skatinama kūrybingumo, todėl universitetams, siekiantiems ugdyti aukščiausios kvalifikacijos absolventus, iškyla būtinybė lavinti studentų kūrybingumą ir antrepreneriškumą. Maža to, antreprenerystė susijusi ne tik su individualiu, bet ir (gal net labiau) kolektyviniu kūrybingumu, kuris suvokiamas kaip gebėjimas kurti sistemų inovacijas. Kadangi studentų kolektyvinio kūrybingumo ugdymas pasižymi tam tikra specifika, reikia pasitelkti tinkamus jo lavinimo metodus. Vienas iš tokių metodų – kolektyvinio kūrybingumo ugdymo modelis – pristatomas šiame straipsnyje. Jame taip pat analizuojami studentų komandinio darbo užduoties aiškumo, reikšmingai lemiančio komandinio darbo rezultatus, veiksniai. Nustačius turimų žinių apie užduot...
