This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of entrepreneurship and draws on empirical data to map its evolution over the last 125 years. Its primary objective is to synthesize the fragmented research literature into a comprehensive narrative, advancing beyond the scope of a typical bibliographic review. A Publish or Perish application was run on the most relevant scientific databases, yielding 6,078 papers with 4,918,303 citations, excluding patents and unpublished papers. In addition, 117 sources were drawn from the scholarly literature and used to underpin and augment the empirical findings of this study. The study identifies a number of paradigmatic phases in the study of entrepreneurship: little was written on the subject prior to 1950; a modest body of knowledge emerged in the 1960s and 1970s; the study of entrepreneurship was fully institutionalized in the 1980s and 1990s; and it rapidly expanded in the 2000s and 2010s. The study also examines the historical development of the field into the multifaceted discipline it has become, including research on emerging fields such as digital entrepreneurship, sustainable entrepreneurship, and social innovation. The article discusses the implications and offers suggestions for future research to further advance the discipline.
Assessing Cognitive Behavior, Impact of Matatag Curriculum, and Academic Performance in Grade 8 Araling Panlipunan Original Research Article Country Philippines
This study examined the cognitive behavior of Grade 8 students, the perceived impact and extent of implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum, and their association with academic performance in Araling Panlipunan. The objectives were to determine the levels of students’ cognitive behavior, assess the curriculum’s impact and implementation, and identify whether these variables are significantly related to academic achievement. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized and conducted in a public secondary school. The respondents were Grade 8 students taking Araling Panlipunan, selected through purposive sampling. A structured, researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on cognitive behavior and curriculum-related variables, while students’ academic performance was obtained from their subject grades. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as weighted mean and inferential statistics through correlation analysis. Findings showed that the respondents generally exhibited a good level of cognitive behavior, whereas the perceived impact and implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum were rated as moderate. Results of the hypothesis testing revealed that cognitive behavior, curriculum impact, and curriculum implementation did not have a statistically significant relationship with students’ academic performance in Araling Panlipunan. The study concluded that academic achievement is not solely determined by these factors. It is recommended that educators consider other influential elements such as teaching approaches, classroom environment, and learner motivation, and implement more interactive and supportive instructional practices to improve students’ academic performance in Araling Panlipunan.
The Role of Educational Management in Strengthening Teachers’ Instructional Practices Original Research Article Country Philippines
This study determines the level of school heads’ educational management practices and their significant relationship with teachers’ instructional practices in public secondary schools in the Hilongos East District, Leyte, during the Academic Year 2025–2026. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design using validated survey questionnaires administered to teacher and student respondents. Data were collected on school heads’ performance in five key areas: designing the school’s vision, curriculum and instruction, teacher supervision, monitoring of student progress, and promoting a positive school climate. Teachers’ instructional practices were assessed based on the five domains of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST): content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum and planning, and assessment and reporting. Findings showed that both school heads and teachers demonstrated a high level of practice in their respective areas. Among school heads, monitoring of students’ progress received the highest rating. Teachers likewise showed competence across all PPST domains, although areas such as differentiated instruction, curriculum alignment, and data- driven assessment practices indicated room for improvement. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between school heads’ educational management practices and the instructional practices of teachers, particularly in curriculum and planning. Based on these findings, a Leadership Enhancement Program for School Heads was proposed to enhance collaboration, professional development, and school-wide instructional effectiveness.

In this project, we analyze Alfa Romeo as an organization. Alfa Romeo is a well-known Italian car brand that operates in a very competitive and fast-changing industry. The automotive sector is facing major current challenges such as electrification (EV transition), sustainability pressure, new regulations on emissions, supply chain issues, global competition, and changes in customer expectations (for example, more digital features and connected services). These challenges require organizations to adapt their strategies, structures, and leadership decisions over time. For this reason, Alfa Romeo is a good case to discuss how organizations respond to uncertainty and change.
Value Co-creation behavior of members in brand communities on social media platforms: Opportunities and Challenges for firms’ marketing activities Original Research Article Country Vietnam
The rapid development of social media platforms has transformed firm-consumer relationships, shifting marketing from one-way communication toward interactive, participatory, and community-based value creation. In this context, brand communities on social media have become important spaces where members not only exchange information and experiences but also actively contribute to brand-related value through content creation, advocacy, feedback, support, and collaborative interaction. This paper reviews value co-creation behavior among members in social media brand communities and examines its implications for firms’ marketing activities. Drawing on the literature on online brand communities, social capital, member interaction, and value co-creation, the paper synthesizes key forms of member co-creation behavior, discusses the social and relational conditions that enable such behavior, and identifies both opportunities and challenges for firms seeking to leverage these dynamics. The review indicates that member value co-creation can enhance customer engagement, strengthen brand meaning, expand advocacy, and provide rich market intelligence. At the same time, it may create managerial difficulties related to control, conflict, misinformation, co-destruction, and reputational risk. By systematizing the literature, the paper offers a conceptual foundation for future empirical research and practical insights for firms building more participatory and resilient brand communities.
An Analysis of Teachers’ Tpack Competence in Enhancing the Application of Differentiated Instruction across Diverse Learners Original Research Article Country philippines
The integration of Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) and differentiated instruction was essential for promoting inclusive and equitable education. However, limited evidence on how TPACK directly affected the implementation of differentiated instruction. This study assessed teachers' TPACK competency and their use of differentiated instruction in inclusive classrooms. It also examined the relationship between teachers’ TPACK competency and their implementation of differentiated instruction at Talamban Elementary School, involving 50 teachers selected through purposive sampling. TPACK competency was measured using instruments adapted from Lugo and Delos Reyes (2025), and differentiated instruction was assessed using tools by Van Geel et al. (2022). A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was used, and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson’s r correlation. The results showed that teachers were competent in TPACK and skilled in differentiated instruction, but gaps were identified in not using flexible assessments as a baseline for instructional decisions. A significant relationship was found between TPACK competency and the use of differentiated instruction. The study recommended a teacher development plan to enhance teaching practices, support professional growth, and strengthen school support for inclusive education, specifically by integrating regular TPACK training, providing continuous coaching and collaboration, and aligning teacher education, technology use, and school policies with inclusive education goals.
Global Green Supply Chain Pressures and Investment Location Choice: Empirical Evidence from Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam Original Research Article Country Vietnam
As the global economy undergoes a fundamental restructuring toward sustainability, international green mandates are redefining the traditional determinants of industrial location. This study investigates the impact of global green supply chain pressures on the investment location choice (ILC) of enterprises in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. Grounded in Institutional Theory, the research decomposes environmental pressure into three distinct dimensions: coercive, normative, and mimetic. Primary data were gathered through a structured survey of 305 business leaders and senior executives from FDI and large-scale domestic export firms between January and March 2026. The conceptual model was empirically validated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. The empirical results confirm that all three categories of green pressure significantly and positively influence investment location decisions, collectively explaining 53% of the variance in the dependent variable (R2 = 0.530). Specifically, coercive pressure emanating from international regulations and trade mandates exerts the most substantial impact (β = 0.482), followed by normative pressure from customer expectations (β = 0.341) and mimetic pressure driven by industry trends (β = 0.162). These findings indicate that modern investors increasingly prioritize "green ecosystems" that offer renewable energy access and robust waste treatment infrastructure over traditional cost-based advantages. Consequently, the study provides critical insights for provincial policymakers, emphasizing that Thanh Hoa’s future competitiveness in attracting high-quality FDI depends on its ability to satisfy the green mandates of global supply chains through the accelerated development of eco-industrial parks and sustainable infrastructure.
