In this article, we investigate on the historical and civic foundations, along with emerging potentials of social cooperatives in Greece. Constituting the most innovative actor of social economy in the country, currently introduced institutional forms of social cooperatives enhance an already plural and vibrant field of not-for-profit activity, which was regrettably left to stagnate under political patronage and structural deficiencies. The introduction of Social Entrepreneurial Cooperatives by Law 4019/2011 and the explicit recognition of social economy for the first time, provide for a decisive jumpstart toward a viable structuration of the field. Along with a concise theorization on the concepts of social economy and social enterprise, a (highly practical for non-Greek speaking readers) integrated register of cooperative entities, cooperative legislation and auditing authorities in Greece is annexed.

Creativity studies seem to be a stronghold for individual-based psychological theories. The reasons for this are numerous and complex and, among them, we can identify certain limited or counter-productive ways of conceptualising the social. In this reply to comments I address both the status of the social in creativity studies and the dichotomies that follow from adopting an external view of society and culture. Among them, the separation between creative potential and achievement is particularly problematic, as it constructs a reified, static, and individual notion of potential, reflected in the measurement of divergent thinking. I propose, towards the end, a perspectival model of creativity that radically socialises divergent thinking by placing the social at the core rather than the periphery of creative production. Finally, I suggest that including time into our theory and research holds the key to overcoming many of the false dichotomies that underline creativity studies, at least in psychology. A thoroughly social perspective on creativity might seem like a daring or foolish endeavour but it is, in my view, also the most promising.

So much pressure abounds for supply chains to deliver goods and services in the right quantity, quality, to the right place and at the right time and least cost possible. It is an acceptable fact that supply chain operations, local or global, face numerous unforeseen challenges that expose them to ineffective and inefficient performance. It is evident that organizations that manage environmental, social and economic risks are better positioned to deliver sustainable supply chain operations. The next generation of supply chain management should not be comfortable with the old adage of out-of-sight out-of-mind behaviour as this presents an unacceptable reputational risk level to the sustainability of logistics business operations.

Recent Shakespearean productions, just like current European crises, have highlighted the exclusionary nature of European identity. In defining the scope of this special issue, the aim of this introduction is to shift the study of Shakespeare in/and Europe away from the ideological field of “unity within diversity” and its attendant politics of negotiation and mediation. Instead, it investigates whether re-situating Shakespearean analysis within regimes of exclusionary politics and group conflict attitudes helps to generate dynamic cultural and social understandings. To what effect is Shakespeare’s work invoked in relation with the tensions inherent in European societies? Can such invocations encourage reflections on Europe as a social, political and/or cultural entity? Is it possible to conceptualize Shakespearean drama as offering an effective instrument that connects―or not―the voices of the people of Europe?

Social pedagogy must now solve numerous problems that have remained unsolved over its more than 150-year-long history. It is about the subject’s elaboration, terminology, clarification of its relation to different sciences, specification of contemporary problems that have priority, and the professiogram of social pedagogues.

Network relationships are critical for companies’ internationalisation processesand their importance is documented within research. However, it seems that insufficient attention has been paid to identifying the social variables that stand behind the process of rapid internationalisation. The purpose of this article is to indicate the social factors that shape relationships and their impact on the dynamics of the internationalisation process. To achieve this goal we analyse pertinent literature in order to clarifythe relationships between rapid internationalisation and social variables. These findings allow us to conduct a case study of a small IT company located in Poland covering an eight year period during of its domestic and foreign relationships development. We focus on phases of rapid transformation from a purely local company to highly internationalised organisation. The key contribution of this paper is a detailed assessment of social variables and their role in the acceleration of the internationalisation process.

Relacje biznesowe mają kluczowe znaczenie dla przebiegu procesu internacjonalizacji, a związek ten stanowi przedmiot licznych badań. Jednakże wciąż istnieje luka poznawcza odnosząca się do wpływu czynników społecznych na przyspieszenie procesu internacjonalizacji. Celem artykułu jest ocena czynników społecznych pod kątem ich oddziaływania na przebieg i tempo procesu internacjonalizacji. Po dokonaniu przeglądu literatury badane zależności zostały opisane na podstawie studium przypadku małej polskiej firmy z branży IT, obejmującego okres ośmiu lat rozwoju od relacji wyłącznie o zasięgu krajowym aż po wysoki poziom umiędzynarodowienia.
