“…The results of the study coincide with similar studies, especially those focusing on countries, which have been stably influenced by one single religion (Lange & Pfeiffer, 2019). Multi-religious and multi-ethnic societies are distinguished by other forms of behavior and realization of human potential, which require a separate study (Guler & Ozer-Imer, 2019). Religion affects a range of economic indicators, such as the use of capital, savings rate, the riskiness of an investment in capital, and more (Farooq et al, 2019;Qayyum et al, 2019;Yong et al, 2019).…”

“…The classical criticism of Max Weber's ideas has undergone significant changes during the second half of the twentieth century. In his idea of the connection between religiosity and the formation of capitalism in its modern form, a more generalized component (Guler & Ozer-Imer, 2019;Samuelsson, 2020;Yong et al, 2019) is recognized as adequate. In particular, the main question is why, given equal opportunities and a development context, capitalism in its current form did not arise in other regions of the world (Barro & McCleary, 2019;Friedman, 2021;Zafirovski, 2019).…”

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of human capital (HC) on the sustainable development of a country or region through the prism of religious values. The following indicators were used for the analysis: Human Development Index, GDP per Capita, and Adult Mortality Rates in Orthodox Russia, Muslim, and Orthodox Kazakhstan, and developed countries dominated by Protestant religion, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The results show that differences in socio-economic growth between countries exist because the religions and cultures that influence those countries are different. Russia’s and Kazakhstan’s delay in capitalizing human capital may be provoked by the difference in the attitude these two countries have towards labor compared to other countries chosen for the study. The high quality of formal education in Russia and Kazakhstan is largely offset by a negative Orthodox and Muslim attitude to material achievements and financial prosperity. Orthodox representatives perceive individual wealth and career aspirations as sin and arrogance. The results of the study may be useful in teaching cultural disciplines.

“…From these two principal works, rationality was developed and inclusive in business education for the imparting of such skills as standardizing processes for performance analysis, evidence-based procedures that provide measurable outcomes, and goals that have specific aims for determining the calculable rate for success (Brunstein, Sambiase, & Brunnquell, 2018;Cull, Cai, Heemi, & Dokmanovic, 2018;Rozuel, 2016). Such skillsets of the rational model, rational action, are considered to be historical cornerstones of business education and the expectancies of such graduates' employability throughout western cultures (Duarte Alonso, Kok, & O'Brien, 2019;Godfrey et al, 2016;Guler, & Ozer-Imer, 2019;Krou, Acee, Pino, & Hoff, 2019;Malyuga, Krouglov, & Tomalin, 2018;Murcia, Rocha, & Birkinshaw, 2018;Rindova, & Martins, 2018;Seppälä, 2018). While Asian business, specifically in China, are adept at re-engineering processes and enhancing the effectiveness of existing goods and services (Marquis, Yin, & Yang, 2017;Ou, Zhao, & Zhou, 2018;Tian, Zhang, Yu, & Cao, 2019;Williamson, 2016), the reliance on the Guanxi cultural approach to business decision-making is a significant limitation in their capacity for innovative thought where logical processes should have a higher priority than traditional relationship decision-making (Lee, Ooi, Chong, & Sohal, 2018;Li et al, 2019;Lin, Wang, & Si, 2018;Opper, Nee, & Holm, 2017).…”

The rational action model are techniques and processes of decision-making from data for effective decision-making. Business leaders are strategizing for their futures for their future employment needs in the Greater Bay Area region of Hong Kong, Macau, and the Guangdong province. Tertiary business curriculum revision and development efforts are focused on properly preparing graduates’ productive decision-making skillsets that ultimately increases their employability. This qualitative study examines the perspectives of regional business leaders for the knowledge and use of rational action in their own companies, the need or not for the rational action model in future employment decisions, and their take on the rational model inclusion in business curriculum. The purpose is determining what entanglements rational action has in delivering on business leaders’ expectancies in their employment decisions. The findings indicate a strong use by business leaders of rational action and a desire for new graduates to be proficient in rational decision-making, but without a cohesive expression between the three major areas of how to affect curriculum enhancement efforts. The conclusion is a positive demand for rational models to be included in curriculum revision and development efforts, but dependent on the tertiary institutions themselves for design. Recommendations focus on the rational action model in studies of a similar nature, but focused on other regions where emerging economies are focusing on the business education enhancements.

Innovation and R&D activities have significant effects on economic development and firm success. Innovation is a key factor in economic development through productivity gains. However, firms do not perform the socially optimal level of innovation due to market failures. Therefore, innovation activity is largely supported by governments for both developed and developing countries with the aim of creating additionality. While additionality effects from government supports are widely discussed for developed countries, there is scarce evidence for developing countries. The aim of this article is to analyse innovation behaviour of Turkish firms based on firm characteristics. Further, the behavioural additionality of government support is also analysed in order to provide a full picture. For this aim, the innovation structure is analysed using a multinomial logit model and the additionality effects are analysed using the propensity score matching (PSM) technique. Results indicate that firms that are profit-oriented, produce for the internal market and have an internal R&D unit, are more likely to implement organization and/or marketing innovation in comparison with product innovation. In addition, the same pattern is observed in companies that received government support. The results additionality indicate positive effects on behavioural additionality; however, this effect is evaluated to be limited.
