This paper examines the interrelationship of agricultural entrepreneurship (‘agripreneurship’) and food security in Afghanistan – an overlooked country in terms of political stability and natural resources – through the lens of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) model. Using a ‘bottom-up’ approach of examining 28 stakeholders from diverse backgrounds ranging from farmers to experts primarily at the lower ends of the infrastructural hierarchy, they were interviewed to seek insights into the agricultural and entrepreneurial constraints imposed upon them. The research finds an imbalance between trying to achieve food security and promoting environmental sustainability, among other important issues. For example, access to food had been prioritized by agricultural entrepreneurs over global environmental concerns, questioning the validity of the TBL. We argue that western approaches for dealing with grand challenges, such as sustainability with the TBL are a luxury, as for Afghanistan, and it is now time to rethink what a bottom line should be.

International human resource management studies pointed out that emerging economy multinational companies tend to focus on HRM localisation in foreign subsidiaries for better operational output. MNCs' HRM localisation intention and implementation varies due to several reasons where radical differences exist between traditional MNCs and emerging economy MNCs, particularly in internationalisation strategy. An MNC's localisation strategy in a developed country is different from a developing country. Within an institutional theory framework, with a specific focus on HRM localisation of Chinese MNCs, we conceptually analysed the external factors associated with HRM localisation and how the external factors influence the intention implementation gap of HRM localisation of Chinese subsidiaries in Bangladesh. The paper concludes with a managerial implication and schema for future research.

This research examined the influence of the dependent variables of project payment systems and financial management strategies on construction organisation performance, with particular focus on the mediating effect of those strategies. This study adopted a positivist research methodology. It used a quantitative method of data collection in order to realise the development of a standard model, to help identify which project payment systems and financial management strategies could impact construction organisation performance. Findings from the data analysis revealed that financial management strategies played a significant role in ensuring a positive relationship between clients' payment systems and the construction company's financial performance. This study concludes that the financial management strategies in used by the construction organisations enhance their cash flow, monitor underspending or overspending against project cost targets, ensure accurate financial accounts. It is therefore recommended that new payment system should be formulated to integrate the needs of clients and contractors.

This paper aims to identify the playing styles of football clubs and their influence on the clubs' performance. K-means clustering algorithm was applied to all the passes distributed among the football teams to get the unique z-score and recognise the most outstanding coaching contribution. The Russian Premier League - from 2017/2018 to 2019/2020 - is the setting inspected. The calculated score for each club shows that FC UFA under the guidance of Sergei Semak in 2017/2018, FC Krasnodar with Igor Shalimov in 2017/2018 and Magomed Adiev with FC Anzhi in 2018/2019, in the greater extent, differs from the other clubs that participated in the league over the researched period. The empirical findings reveal that playing experience of a coach has a positive effect on the outcome of a match, while coaching tenure has a reduced negative effect. This study contributes with new insights regarding coaching style identification on professional football.
