   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Weather Normalized Models WNMs ; Air Pollution; Data-Driven Modeling and Optimization; Deep Learning - Artificial Neural Network DL-ANN ; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : According to the World Health Organization, almost all human population (99%) lives in 117 countries with over 6000 cities, where air pollutant concentration exceeds recommended thresholds. The most common, so-called criteria, air pollutants that affect human lives, are particulate matter (PM) and gas-phase (SO2, CO, NO2, O3 and others). READ MORE

6. 24. Decision-making in SME internationalization : The role and use of Control in decisions made under the uncertainties of foreign market expansion

   Author : Luis Oliveira; Martin Johanson; Carin Nordström; Katarina Blomkvist; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SME internationalization; non-predictive strategy; control-based strategy; environmental uncertainty; international market performance; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

   Abstract : Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make the backbone of virtually all economies but most of them are only marginally engaged with global markets, particularly those from developing countries. Our ability to advise these firms is currently limited for two major reasons: on the one hand, conventional International Business literature treats the firm as a black box and does not advance in decision-making dynamics that are critical to SMEs' foreign expansion; on the other, recent SME internationalization studies have achieved important progress but seem dependent on the use of Effectuation theory to represent the decisions that guide SME internationalization.

7. 25. Decision-making strategies of internationalization under challenging times : Lessons from SMEs

   Author : Luis Oliveira; Martin Johanson; Carin Nordström; Afonso Fleury; Margaret Fletcher; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Institutions; business networks; uncertainty; international market performance; internationalization speed;

   Abstract : Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly important actors of the global market and are particularly exposed to be affected in a scenario marked by an ongoing process of deglobalization and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both of these phenomena potentialize the liabilities that firms experience abroad, namely foreignness and outsidership. READ MORE
