“…The development of agile businesses is not the same in the two countries. Regarding Russia, Zelenkov (2018) found that the readiness to change, coupled with KM was a factor of efficiency in the private businesses but not in the public ones, due probably to the suppression of initiatives at the individual level. In Portugal, very recently, digitalization was hampered by lack of skilled professionals and fear of change (Sapo, 2018).…”

Knowledge management, agile management, and the use of foreign languages—A theoretical analysis illustrated with the cases of Russia and Portugal

In this article, we analyze the link between knowledge management and the use of foreign languages. In a globalized world, the mastery of foreign languages is a factor of business creation and business success. Of course, not all the national languages have the same international importance, and this is a double-edge relation. In this context, we relate foreign languages, business, KM, productivity, and agile business.After a theoretical analysis, we address two different countries-Portugal and Russia.We conclude that investment in foreign languages is higher in Portugal than in Russia, probably due to the fact that Russia still sees itself as a superpower, whereas Portugal, (even if Portuguese is a language spoken worldwide), sees itself as a European Union member. As a consequence, and particularly in the last decade, Portugal has become more international (business is done in Portuguese, English, French, or Spanish), whereas in Russia, the language is still seen as a big barrier to entry. In accordance with this situation, Portugal saw its level of knowledge-related activities to grow more than Russia. This increase in turn led to a higher increase in economic and social standards and a higher increase in the level of agile related activities. These results mean that even when a country has as large a continental dimension, as Russia, it is useful to become global in linguistic terms. | INTRODUCTIONIt was Ludwig Wittgenstein who said that the world is words (Wittgenstein, 1922). But quite interestingly language, as an instrument to make business has not been the object of knowledge management (KM) studies. A few examples exist, namely J. Kidd (1998) and Po or et al. ( 2018), are two exceptions in which KM has been related to languages, more precisely regarding Japanese companies in Italy in the first case and multinationals in Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and Hungary. In any case, these exceptions underline the rule, which is that very little attention has been paid to this question. This happens probably, we believe, because knowledge managers admit beforehand that workers have to be educated, and therefore language skills are admittedly a part of the competencies expected for knowledge workers. However, we live in a globalized world. And, among the many types of knowledge that individuals use in their everyday working life, languages are, in times of globalization, one of the most important. Languages connect people like no other knowledge source and from that business connections and value may be derived.Furthermore, not all the countries have the same size, and not all the countries speak the same languages. We may divide countries in large ones and small ones.1. Traditionally large countries believe their internal market is enough to guarantee prosperity or they are important enough to attract foreigners and oblige them to learn the big country's national language. These big countries therefore tend to try to speak their own language only, and they do this by using nonformal ways, like not using subtitles i...

Nowadays, the level of digitalization of Russian companies varies greatly depending on their scale, industry, form of ownership, etc. The low efficiency of management systems is one of the key reasons for an insufficiently fast or unsuccessful digital transformation of many Russian companies, which is caused both by the lack of management experience in the context of digital transformation and the undeveloped mechanisms of such management. The latter circumstance determines the important scientific problem of developing the methodological basis of strategic management of companies during digital transformation; the initial stage of which is the analysis of the current state of research in this area. The purpose of the study is to identify research prospects, as well as problems that need to be solved to create a methodology for strategic management of companies implementing digital transformation projects. A bibliometric and content analysis of published works was carried out, including a multi-staged publication selection procedure, which reduced the original list of papers from 516 items to 135 ones. The article offers the answers to the following questions: what preconditions for changing the theory and practice of management are created by digital transformation; what ideas and solutions concerning the concept and methodology of strategic management are proposed by the scientific community. Based on the systematization of the results of numerous studies, the paper identifies priority tasks for the development of an improved strategic management methodology. These tasks include improving the strategic management conception, enhancing strategic management mechanisms, developing a system for identifying mechanisms for companies of different strategic orientations and levels of readiness for digital transformation, and developing practice-oriented recommendations for the integrated use of strategic management methods to provide information support for the management processes in domestic companies.

This paper proposes a model of the impact of technology on the standard of living based on fuzzy linear regression. The Human Development Index (HDI) was chosen as a dependent variable as an indicator of the health and well-being of the population. The explanatory variables are the Network Readiness Index (NRI), which measures the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on society and the development of the nation, and the Global Innovation Index (GII), which measures the driving forces of economic growth. The analysis is based on data for 2019 for four groups of countries with different levels of GDP per capita. For developed countries, the positive and balanced impact of innovation and ICT on living standards has been confirmed. For two groups of developing countries (upper and lower middle income), the GII coefficient was found to be negative. A more indepth analysis showed that this is due to the state of political and social institutions. This fact means that without a simultaneous increase in the maturity of institutions, stimulation of other areas of innovative development (education, knowledge and technology, infrastructure) leads to a decrease in the quality of life.
