Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the progress in the United Arab Emirates towards achievement of Millennium Development Goal (3), ''gender equality'', by the target date of 2015.Design/methodology/approach -Demographic, social, and labor force statistics are collected from United Arab Emirates' government reports, the World Economic Forum, and UNESCO. Analysis is conducted to investigate current trends of gender equality in education and employment.Findings -Results for the education of women have been at a consistently high level for some years. Two themes are found for such progress: a government strategy to increase women's access to education; societal acceptance of educated women. Gender equality in employment is slow due to three themes: study choice dictates employment potential; recruitment within a narrow range of occupations; employment more likely within public sector employment. The future of gender equality in the United Arab Emirates will continue to be more positive for women in education than for employment.Research limitations/implications -A limitation is the paucity of academic study about gender equality in education and employment in the United Arab Emirates. Reliability and validity of the study is somewhat limited by unverified, non-specific, and older data on education and employment.Practical implications -Improved strategies to increase study choice are required to enlarge the scope of women's careers. Management of the talent pool of educated females can increase women's share of paid employment in the future.Social implications -A faster rate of change is required towards societal acceptance of women in employment to match female educational attainment.Originality/value -The research is important for two reasons relevant for achievement of MDG (3) by 2015. Remarkable progress has been made on gender equality in education, and awareness is raised on limitations in the future for the employment of women.

“…Strategic urban planning pits utopians, with their disparate collective urban visions, against libertarians protesting against waste or managerialism (Wadley, 2008). Libertarian 'cyborg' cities overtly or implicitly support existing social structure, vested commercial interests without adequate responses to collective challenges (Gandy, 2005;Gleeson, 2010;Newman et al, 2009;Rybczynski, 2011). Unmanaged populations, climate change, peak oil, pollution, congestion and unprecedented extinctions, seem to calls for collective intervention.…”

Smart Strategy: Intelligence, Gaming and Agility

Generals, entrepreneurs and planners aim to dislocate enemies, outsmart competitors or build iconic cities. All advocate 'smart strategy' but what are its constituents? I seek some cross-disciplinary clarification. A selection of military, business and planning literature is investigated, looking for common themes and a smart strategy framework. Strategic complexity and the limits to generalisation in turbulent times are noted. In the military, overwhelming force confronts asymmetric warfare with deception and carefully-calibrated power projections, conducted at tempo, to confuse and overwhelm the enemy. In business, making money is necessary but insufficient for a smart strategy. Other 'smart' criteria are ethics, delegation, talented people and continuous systems innovation. In urban planning, centralist or dispersed intervention strategies jostle with evolutionary ones but without a final resolution in complex, idiosyncratic cities with adjustment lags and spatial irresolution. Despite context dependency, our multi-disciplinary overview generates some practical business advice. A smart strategy recoils from top-down, techno-centric or managerialist litanies. Clarity of purpose, sound intelligence and judgment orientate the entity and harmonize its activities around key products/markets. Deception confuses and disorientates competitors but needs product support. Flexibility/adaptability balances informed leadership with devolved innovation, underpinned by systems upgrades and talent.

“…All the institutions of knowledge economy were based on this hierarchy, and the most profitable types of business and highly paid jobs were associated precisely with expert knowledge, which is most important, complex and valuable. Therefore, some experts even predicted the evolution of the knowledge economy into the economy of wisdom (Goede, 2011;Walker, 2013). Source: Ackoff, 1989, pp.…”

“…A private company will hardly undertake the task of insuring the population against such risks. In addition, the opacity of financial institution risk profiles (taking into account the lending and certain product-level difficulties) hides the true characteristics of asset quality which hinders the effectiveness of internal monitoring (Goede, 2011).…”

The article analyzes the nature and specificity of digital economy as an object of regulation from the standpoint of institutional methodology. It reveals the logic of digital economy evolution and its internal contradictions. The authors hold comparative analysis of approaches to defining the essence and forms, functions and structure of digital economy. The categorical apparatus of the theory of digital economy is specified and supplemented. We proposed a conceptual model of a multi-level transition of the economy to a digital development scenario. The conceptual recommendations on the development of the digital economy regulation system are presented. We propose to distinguish between digital and digitized sectors, which cover the industries directly and indirectly related to digital technologies and products. As an indication we proposed to highlight the institutional and companyspecific digital sector. The conclusion was made about the importance of creating an institutional environment using hybrid institutions based on a combination of algorithmic and traditional law in a multilevel format and in the mode of experiments like regulatory sandboxes, legal foresight, public discussion. JEL classification:B52.
