The article presents analysis of modern researches of Chinese higher education internationalization. It considers modern strategic issues concerning internationalization at universities. Internationalization is represented as a key component of higher education development. Onthebasisofmodern scientific approaches to higher education internationalization at Chinese universities in the context of their activity the principal ways of internationalization interpretation have been defined. Understanding of the notion of higher education internationalisation in China at the national level has been narrow for a long time. In general it means international activities and exchange programs. China authorities emphesize mainly on practical aspects of internationalization but not wide understanding of mutual exchanges of people, ideas, well-being and servicesbetween nations and cultural identities. This narrow vision is associated with Sino-centric mentality: Chinese teaching as essence, western one for practicality. Implementation of internationalization policy is fulfilled under national government control. At the national level is assumed an existence of 4 internationalisation categories: 1) intensive transnational higher education; 2) strategy of internationalization elite of China universities; 3) curriculum internationalization; 4) challenges in China higher education.TwocharacteristicsofConfucianmodel are highlighted in Chinese national strategy of higher education internationalization: the first – strict national outlining of structures, funding and priorities; and the second – accelerated state investing in research and world-class universities. It hasbeen determined that there is thelackofdefiniteandwell-plannedstrategyofbuildingnewworld-classuniversities or in other wordscommonnationalhighereducationinternationalizationstrategy in China policy. Internationalization initiatives at institutional level have been outlined.Alternative strategies of higher education internationalization at institutional level under conditions of international activity are recruiting of foreign lectors and students and accordingly strengthening of international learning environment, transformation of curriculum and improvement of teaching quality, development of international research andincrease ofacademic exchanges.

The main goal of the article is to propose such oxymoronic word combinations that accurately designate the phenomena of paradoxical character which were identified in international empirical research devoted to competency management. The research project was cofounded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union and covered Poland, Spain and Austria. A research reflection that appeared as a consequence of data analysis in the scope of competency management strategies inclined the author to divide the oxymora into paradoxical and nonparadoxical. At the same time the final result of the conducted considerations is an attempt to introduce such nonparadoxical oxymora to management language as hierarchical egalitarianism, flexible formalization, present future, collectivistic individualist, female masculinity, individualistic collectivist, and male femininity.

If one associates the scope of logistics with widely understood logistic competition, looking at logistics through the prism of enterprises competition factor and hence the factor which influences the market, one may also easily find the essential role of logistics in methodological approach concerning the shaping of the market and referring to the assumptions of new industrial economics – the approach that stresses the so called dynamics in market structures and is connected with market entries and exits (the mobility of market players) as well as with power and domination in the market, problems of appearing and disappearing of the businesses (businesses demography) other than competition between the forms of market coordination. This paper focuses on one of the most fundamental areas of new industrial economics, such as market entries and exits and barriers to them, which may be of logistic type. That is why the purpose of this article is to identify and characterise logistic barriers to market entries and exists. The paper is based on critical analysis, system analysis and hermeneutic methods.

The history of civilization is also the history of education in which the ability to communicate plays an important role. Communication has enabled the exchange of thoughts, views and information about cultural and scientific achievements of the generations, which has influenced its further development. Therefore, it can be stated that these texts have been the basis for the development of communication competence. The teachers [of foreign languages] should apply various methods, strategies and techniques of teaching, learning and memorising as well as didactic means to facilitate acquiring communication language skills – in the development of all language skills.

The purpose of this study is to examine the links between generic strategy types and organizationalperformance. Moreover, this paper will attempt to discover whether or not the emphasis onplanning strategy implementation will enhance a company with superior performance. This paperstudied 104 Georgian based manufacturing companies. A questionnaire was chosen as the surveyinstrument. The respondents selected were CEOs of the manufacturing companies being surveyed.Findings of this study are based on the results of the hypotheses tests which indicate that companieswith clearly defined business strategies are performing better. The group of companies with integratedstrategies had better performance than those concentrating on either of them. This contradicts theidea that it is not effective to use a combination of cost-leadership and differentiation strategy becauseof their exclusivity. There were no strong ties established between the strategic type and the planningof strategic implementation. Moreover, companies placing emphasis on planning strategy implementationhave better performances than those “stuck in the middle”. The results of this study are particularlyuseful for practitioners, as it can provide managers with the information connected with strategyformulation and implementation processes. This study makes a contribution to the existing literatureby exploring strategy processes within Georgian based manufacturing companies, and addressing theinconclusiveness of the results of generic strategies and organizational performance.

Logistics is today one of the decisive advantages in competition on the markets. Companies and entire supply chains compete more and more often. Logistics, which has ceased to be treated as a set of methods useful for solving operational problems, has gained strategic importance. This study presents the logistics area as a factor in the competitiveness of enterprises against the background of two main trends of competition research, i.e. a trend dealing with two key issues for the economy, namely the general characteristics of the market, i.e. its structure, development, functioning, the situation prevailing on it and the strategic behaviour of enterprises, and the second trend, included in theories referring to the role of the state in a market economy.

The main goal of the article is to analyse strategies of international enterprises, undertaken in the processes of internationalisation and expansion into foreign markets. Due to the spatial dimension of these processes, the issues related to the strategies of large foreign investors also appear in the research of geography of enterprise. It is since the functioning of international enterprises can be understood as a result of processes arising from a combination of mutual relations between their management strategy and local conditions in their environment, which in turn affects the diverse range of spatial impacts. The presented study focuses on the analysis of strategies adopted at the highest organisational level, i.e. on comprehensive internationalisation strategies, which most synthetically reflect how enterprises operate on foreign markets. Subsequently, the paper presents the model concept of strategic orientations of C.A. Bartlett and S. Ghoshal, which due to the extended spectrum of identification criteria is more operational. Moreover, in the presented concept, the basic dimensions of internationalisation, i.e. the configuration of the organisational structure and the coordination of activities on international markets, indicate a significant geographical dimension of internationalisation processes. The presented conceptual model also points to new possibilities of interpreting the strategy of international enterprises using the I-R paradigm, which may be particularly useful for the research goals realised in the field of the geography of enterprise.

Translation of poetry relies on some strategies that envisage the text as a unit of translation. Consequently, the translator will adapt his/her methods according to the type of text, focusing also on the target culture. Metaphors, as stylistic devices of poetry, are culturally bounded to a certain way of viewing the world; that is, the translator must take into account first the culture involved in the translation process and then the linguistic and formal aspects.

Each culture is unique and has its own unique objects or phenomena related to its history, traditions, and cultural identity. These specific objects, otherwise called culture-bound elements, may be strange and unrecognizable to another culture. Translators are often challenged to translate the text of one culture to another and to convey the names of cultural elements, while still preserving their unique meaning, as well as their national and cultural colour. The aim of the article is to analyse the strategies and techniques by means of which the names of Lithuanian culture-bound elements are translated into English in a work devoted to public affairs. To what extent the original is preserved in the foreign-language environment clarifies the (dis)harmony. In short, the name of a culture-bound element is an integral part of such work that otherwise would not accomplish its purpose.

The problematic facing African transformation in a fast growing world is multifaceted; these include ignorance, lack of technology complex, effective leadership, democratic governance, illiteracy, lack of consensus, and empathy, ethno-religious crises, economic woes, cultural chauvinism, African un-freedom and political instability. African transformation in a fast growing world requires an accelerated proportion of scholarly attention. This paper analyzes the need for Africa to embrace a multi-level approach in redressing the problem of knowledge, certitude, technology complex, scientific progression and assimilation. African society from a contemporary perspective must begin to embrace technical-know-how or expertise coupled with effective or superb leadership skills that is aimed at effective democratic governance in order to affect African potentials and African development. Leaders of governments in Africa in this fast growing world must begin to embrace and engage themselves with comparative evaluation of Africa with the rest of the world. Africa as a continent is lagging behind and is facing serious contemporary challenges of low productivity level, socio-economic crises and political instability. All these must be addressed in order to give Africa a face lift. This paper appreciates and appropriates a multi-level approach in ensuring that there is the prevalence of African freedom, African transformation in the fast growing world even in the mid of her challenges. Africa should and must not remain static but dynamic politically, socially, culturally, scientifically, technologically, psychologically, intellectually and economically.

The article presents the opinions of enterprises about the relationship between lending banks and their clients. The authors confront these opinions with previously analyzed views and strategies declared by Polish banks. The article is based on a survey conducted on a sample of enterprises via the Internet in December 2005. The survey shows that enterprises are fully aware of the diversified treatment of borrowers by banks, even though banks declare that they treat everyone in the same way. The basic criterion seems to be the size of the company. Although many enterprises use the services of several banks at the same time, contrary to expectations, they tend to be loyal-in the sense of the long-standing nature of their contacts with their servicing banks. Companies generally attach more weight to their own reputation than their servicing banks. They also reveal a smaller (than widely believed) level of informational shortcomings involving providing incomplete data. Relations between banks and borrowers are largely influenced by the fragmentation of the banking sector, which encourages aggressive competition for the best clients and restricts access to loans for high-risk borrowers. It is possible to expect that small and medium-sized enterprises will find it increasingly easier to obtain loans as the banking sector undergoes progressive concentration, accompanied by growing competition from the international bond market.

It reveals that motivations for artistic entrepreneurship are diverse and foremost linked with the need to overcome challenges artists experience in the labour market and in the market for cultural goods and services. Different strategies translate into particular location choices as well as varied visibility of such firms in urban space.

This study examines young English readers’ ability to infer word meanings in context and to use metacognitive knowledge for constructing word meanings in relation to their reading performance. The participants were 61 fourth-grade students in the United States, comprising 24 monolingual English-speaking (ME) students and 37 English-as-a-second-language (L2) students; each group was also divided into strong and emergent readers in English. Participants were asked to read aloud paragraphs containing words unfamiliar to them in two different contextual conditions (i.e., explicit and implicit conditions), to guess the unfamiliar word meanings, and to tell a teacher how they arrived at the inferred meanings. Quantitative analyses found significant differences between strong and emergent readers in their oral fluency as well as in their ability to infer word meanings and articulate their use of metacognitive knowledge. Although significant differences were found in the ability to infer word meanings and the use of metacognitive reasoning between ME and L2 students, such differences disappeared after controlling for the size of students’ receptive vocabulary. Qualitative analyses also revealed differences in the kinds of knowledge and strategies that strong and emergent readers relied on when constructing the meaning of unknown words in both explicit and implicit contexts.

Theoretical background: Beyond doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a series of perturbations in the economies of almost every country in the world. This global crisis has contributed to the business turmoil and has been seen in services in particular. Due to restrictions on economic activity introduced by governments of countries, which were aimed at slowing down the scale of virus infections, many enterprises faced a severe dilemma, i.e. how to continue their activities, how to survive the crisis, and maybe end this activity, or change it into another. For many companies, the pandemic crisis turned out to cause multi-faceted losses and even bankruptcy. But also, some companies saw the crisis as an opportunity to introduce positive changes and gain new sales markets and customers. For these companies, the coronavirus pandemic has become a growth catalyst.Purpose of the article: The theoretical part of the article is devoted to analyzing the literature resources on the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on business. In the practical part, the author explores the results of the quantitative research conducted in 2021 to find out how the coronavirus influenced the functioning of the SME sector in Poland. The author posed the following research questions: How did coronavirus impact the functioning of enterprises? How did companies cope with this crisis? Was the pandemic crisis a source of financial failure or collapse of Polish enterprises? Was it an opportunity for market success? Did the pandemic initiate new business strategies, cause or accelerate changes in the business model?Research methods: The literature review was made using the database of scientific articles in Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The author searched for relevant articles using the following keywords: “COVID-19”, “coronavirus”, “pandemic”, “pandemic crisis”, and “lockdown”. The quantitative study covered 500 Polish business entities operating in production, trade, and services in domestic and foreign markets. There were no limitations regarding the area of activity (according to the Polish Classification of Activities) or the number of years of firms’ presence on the market. The study did not cover large enterprises, i.e. 250 or more employees.Main findings: In general, the coronavirus pandemic caused problems in the market but did not contribute to the drastic collapse of the SME sector, nor was it a catalyst for their spectacular development. The conducted study showed that most companies dealt moderately well with the pandemic crisis. They took remedial action to avoid a complete loss of liquidity, going out of business, and bankruptcy risk. A small percentage saw an opportunity in the crisis or used this time to improve their situation.

The results are based on a research of experienced teachers, using the qualitative approach and the narrative and biographical designs. The study primarily comments on how gossip can influence the expert teacher’s work and his/her identity and position within the school. As such, school gossip is not considered as a random phenomenon but rather a micro-political strategy used by teachers to gain influence and protection.

Gender is ever present in our conversation. It is used to explain everything and is embedded in our institutions, our actions, thoughts and beliefs. In this research, we set out to establish the linguistic strategies employed by the male and female members of the Kenya National Assembly to drive their agenda and to achieve successful communication. This research sets out to establish assembly members’ manner of speaking and general adherence to speaking norms on the assembly floor. Under such a background, the study examined language and gender in the Kenya National Assembly. The research questions were: what are the linguistic strategies employed by speakers on the assembly floor based on their gender? How do members react to the gendered linguistic strategies? The study employed the Politeness Theory. The data was collected from four randomly selected sessions in the 12th Parliament- also referred to as National Assembly. The analysis of data adopted a quantitative and qualitative approach. Audio-visual recordings from the National Assembly were transcribed for analysis. In this process, selective transcription was used for the purpose of the research. Analysis of the linguistic items was done. The study established that members of the National Assembly used the following linguistic strategies: being direct, being assertive, use of metaphors, were ironic among others. It was observed that most of the members reacted in the following ways: cooperation, showing understanding, among others.
