This dissertation examines the role of digitalization in new venture internationalization in three studies: a systematic literature review, a quantitative study, and a qualitative study. The systematic literature review synthesizes existing literature in the research domains of digitalization and international opportunity recognition, as well as…

These Guidelines and accompanying Toolkit aim to generate a diagnosis of the education in emergencies data ecosystem at a given point in time, mainly by evaluating the opportunities for integrating humanitarian EiE data systems with development and national institutional education information systems. They include approaches and tools for the…

We draw upon Appadurai's 'scapes' and Latour's Actor Network Theory (ANT) to interrogate historical and spatial flows in relation to specific testing technologies. We reveal how testing systems, conceptualised as actor-networks, rearticulate colonial legacies of inequality which are intensified by new and emerging technologies. ANT helps trace…

As countries make continued investments in early childhood care and education (ECCE) systems, data and measurement play a critical role in outlining strengths and areas for improvement. To promote data-driven decision-making across all levels of early childhood systems, measurement must be valid, reliable, and feasible, especially when used at…

Over recent decades, higher education infrastructures have become increasingly digitized and datafied. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated adoption of online learning platforms, trading the walls of the classroom for digital systems. Yet the surveillance, privacy, and discrimination issues that such systems raise are minimally understood by those…

This paper aims to address Digital Readiness in Higher Education Institutions from the perspective of data-informed and evidence-based assessment of Digital Readiness. Related research suggests that existing instruments for assessing digitalization aspects are limited to self-assessment, and there is a need for data-informed frameworks that will…

In this article, we contest globalised notions of data as 'universally' beneficial, necessary and 'evidence-based'. We do so by drawing upon narrative accounts of the problematic ways data impact educators researching and working in university and schooling settings over time and in varied national contexts. We reveal how data are transient and…

This literature review aims to examine the approach given to open science policy in the different studies. The main findings are that the approach given to open science has different aspects: policy framing and its geopolitical aspects are described as an asymmetries replication and epistemic governance tool. The main geopolitical aspects of open…

The pervasive role of digital technologies in adult learning and education (ALE) was a prominent theme throughout the deliberations of the Seventh International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VII) held June 15-17, 2022 in Morocco. CONFINTEA VII embodied the worldwide interest in digital technologies through the use of a hybrid format…

The COVID epidemic has provided an excellent example of the need to call on a wide variety of statistical tools to address a global problem, and can give students insights into some of the dimensions of data science. Here, we describe some of the characteristics of data that students encounter as citizens. We set out some teaching ideas, which…

We are experiencing a significant shift in management practices--moving from intuition, experience, and gut-feeling driven decision-making to one that is driven by data, evidence, and computational sciences. This shift, which is often called the "analytics revolution," is not only changing the business landscape from a practical…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to set forth a less-costly, more flexible approach to teaching the analysis of international business development opportunities. Design/methodology/approach: The approach capitalizes upon the high-quality business condition metrics, which are necessary to inform the development decision, that have recently…

Research interest in educational governance has increased in recent years with the rise to prominence of transnational organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the importance attached to international comparison of educational systems. However, rarely do educational researchers consider the…

The competition for international students has spurred higher education institutions (HEIs) to craft marketing campaigns to appeal to potential students, with social media providing an increasingly prominent platform for such interactions. We analyse the social media data trails (Facebook posts) of two Israeli HEIs to reveal how they portray…

Monitoring, evaluation, and research activities generate important data, but they often fail to change policies or programs. In addition, local program staff and partners often feel disconnected from these activities, which undermines their ownership of data and results. To bridge the gaps between monitoring, evaluation, and research and to give…
