ניהול השיווק, חדשנות וחשיבה יזמית
דר' אילן ביג'אוי
חשיבה שיווקית מחייבת הבנה רב-תחומית – חברתית, תרבותית, טכנולוגית, כלכלית, משפטית ופוליטית. כל תחום משפיע הן על האופן שבו תחליט הפירמה לפעול והן על התנהגות הצרכן. השיווק אחראי על אינטגרציה בין תועלת הלקוח לתועלת הפירמה, כדי ששני הצדדים יהיו מרוצים. הספר נכתב בעברית לקהל ישראלי ולכן מתחבר למציאות החברתית, התרבותית והעסקית הקיימת בארץ מבלי לזנוח את הבנת הסביבה העסקית הבין-לאומית
שיווק ועסקים בינלאומיים, חדשנות ופיתוח אזורי
דר' אילן ביג'אוי
הסביבה הגיאופוליטית-כלכלית המשתנה משפיעה על כל מדינה ופירמה. ההסכמים המסחריים הבינלאומיים בין המדינות השונות, מונעים הסתגרות המדינות בפני תחרות מבחוץ. מנקודת המבט של הפירמה יש במרחב הבינלאומי הזדמנויות עסקיות וגם איומים. היא יכולה להתאים את תכנון פעילותה העסקית למצבים המשתנים. הצורך בפיתוח יתרונות תחרותיים חדשים המבוססים על אסטרטגיית חדשנות מתאימה, התמודדות עם תרבויות צרכניות ועסקיות שונות והשתלבות במרחב הקברניטי החדש – הם חלק מהאתגרים העומדים בפני פירמה הרוצה להשתלב במרחב הבינלאומי.
:The Economic Reconciliation Proces
Palgrave USA
Middle Eastern Populations in Conflict
Bijaoui I. (2014)
The Economic Reconciliation Process uses the experiences of the European Union and North American countries in preventing conflicts by economic solutions, to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficiency of hybrid cross border economic models of development in the Middle East. By evaluating the potential impact of the proposed economic cooperation on political solutions to conflict, Bijaoui analyzes the potential implementation of those models in other regions in conflict. Bijaoui's research develops a hybrid cross-border model based on the free economic zone, the industrial district, and the cluster to generate a common economic interest between countries or populations in declared or potential conflict in the Middle East.

Multinational Interest & Development in Africa
Bijaoui I.
This book analyzes the current economic situations in African countries at the local, regional, and national level. It examines the growing interest from developed and developing countries to invest in Africa and their different reasons for doing so, which aren’t always aligned with the interests of African countries. Growth in African GDP has benefitted mainly multinational corporations while the rest of the population remains at the subsistence level, creating a smaller middle class and less opportunity for local businesses to flourish. This book offers potential models of cooperation which could create added value for both African countries and the MNCs investing in them.

Foreign Innovators
Bijaoui I.
We argue that foreign innovators carry with them inflow of outside knowledge and change the outpourings of knowledge into discontinuous and disruptive open innovations. Few of them are women. Too many barriers prevent them to realize their potential. Marie Curie from Poland and Rahda Basu from India are two illustrative cases of how much the world is losing by not investing in women innovators. Patents or diploma statistics cannot express the impact of foreign innovators on innovation processes. A case by case analysis isnecessary in order to evaluate the impact of their researches. A positive ecosystem around cooperation with foreign innovators could contribute to a more valuable development. We present in this book the impact of some of those foreign innovators who by their innovations have generated a huge impact on the life of everyone in a wide range of specialization.
Jobs and Entrepreneurship for Youths in Sub-Saharan Africa Nations
American Journal of Innovative Research and Applied Sciences
Bijaoui I. (2020)
More than 60 percent of the African population is younger than 24 years and 75 percent is younger than 35 years (FAO, 2018).
Of the 420 million aged youths somewhere in the range of 15 and 35years in Africa today, the larger part is jobless and those utilized have unstable jobs. In excess of 10 million youths make advances in the job market every year, whereas just 3,000,000 formal jobs are developed yearly (ADBF, 2018). The absence of incoming jobs pushes youths into the informal sector where operates are ordinarily less stable and have lower salaries. Women are especially influenced. Thirty-five percent of female youths are unemployed, educated, or trained contrasted with just 20 percent of men.
Low economic growth fuels conflicts. The need for employment opportunities additionally causes broad migration from the continent as youngsters look for better lives and assets to accommodate their families at home.
How can we improve the development pace of jobs for youth and successful young entrepreneurs? Which environments and abilities are required? How to adjust opportunities to entrepreneurs' profile? Which policy, programs would we be able to propose to international organizations, governments, and Local experts so as to improve the employment environment?
Development of jobs and entrepreneurship supporting the economic development be generated by programs concentrated on individual entrepreneurship only.
Our model proposes to care groups of understudies/learners working together for improving the successfulness of existing and future entrepreneurs along Education and Training Open Incubators (ETOIs) value chains
Education of Youth in Sub-Saharan Nations - Challenges and Opportunities
Bijaoui I. (2020)
Elementary school completion rate is low in SSA nations at 69% contrasted with 91% in South Asia and at least 94% in other regions (Baah-Boateng 2016, UN, 2015).
Gross Enrolment ratio (GER) is 43% at the secondary level compared to South Asia with 66% and at least 80% in other regions.
Access to tertiary education is of 8.6% contrasted with 21.9% in South Asia and 33.1%-64.4% in developed countries. This situation is because Sub-Saharan Africa has the most elevated out-of-school rates for all age groups (UNESCO, 2018). Education is the key for economic development. Changing such a situation starts at the bottom, by improving children enrollment rate in school.
Outcomes policies that attack the root causes of poverty and inequality lead to transformative results for children (Hujo and Carter, 2019). Promoting the physical, social, emotional, and mental health of children by expanding equality of income, access to pre-school education, tolerable work, and health care are required to improve school enrolment.
We analyze the out of school circumstance and its reasons, the current programs, and their effect. We present proficient models ready to improve out of school education level. Given this analysis, we propose an out of school education and training policy based on the experience and outcomes of educational and support programs for out of school children in SAA nations.
PPP Models Boosting Economic Development
in SSA Nations
Bijaoui I. (2021)
Huge assets have been lost by governments and local authorities because of failed public projects. Fundamental inspiration for utilizing PPPs in public projects is their capability to improve value for money (VfM) for shareholders. Principal political contention against PPPs is that privately-owned industries make benefits on public resources. Accompanying chapters present the PPP models, PPP effective experience of chosen nations, and the execution of PPP models in SSA nations in transport and ports, energy, water, health, agribusiness, education and housing sectors. Approaches to guarantee their positive effect on the value produced for the public in the various sectors are proposed.
In transport projects, political responsibility by an intra-agency planning board of trustees accountable for contract building and shareholder commitment is required. In health projects, the choice of improving existing establishments is desirable over costly new establishments. In education to incorporate the most vulnerable and impeded communities is required. In energy ventures to meet social and environmental targets in the contract is required. In water projects, the capacity of the administrator to create benefits must be straightforwardly identified with performance. In housing projects relevant planning and execution guarantee high public value.

Reverse Reliance and Inclusive Development in South Saharan Africa (SSA)
Bijaoui I. (2022)
Economic reliance is more profound because numerous African nations have borrowed heavily to finance infrastructure. Chinese "Angola Model" by which exports of raw materials is compensated by loans financing investment in infrastructure, could be also worked on by transport, health, housing, and education services deserving the population. Growth due to exports of raw materials without investment on the economy illustrates the colonial and post-colonial period. More raw materials exported and more vehicles imported benefit to other nations and the economy turns out to be increasingly more reliance on foreign countries.
Partnerships between African countries producing similar or complementary raw materials or agricultural products could generate industrialization and reverse reliance. African partnership could be a part of the leadership in the international processed coffee market with a wide range of original brands. Cocoa and shea are produced in the same African countries. The production of chocolate depends on those two ingredients. Partnerships between those African countries could improve negotiations with chocolate leaders in order to have a better sharing of revenues along the value chain. Shea butter produced exclusively in African countries is a valuated ingredient of the cosmetic industry. Sesame oil is its long shelf life due to the antioxidant, sesamol. This quality makes it applicable where there is inadequate refrigeration. It is also an important ingredient in cosmetic industry.
Africa could, by adequate partnerships, attract investments of cosmetics companies in order to process locally shea butter and sesame as food and cosmetic ingredients. African natural and highy valuated palm oil produced locally could lead the palm oil specialties market, high value high price.
Innovation Policy for Developing Countries
Bijaoui I. (2023)
Grassroots innovations are innovative products or processes produced for and by the
low-income group, normally aimed toward conquering the hardships and difficulties
of life.
Inclusive innovations improve the supply of fundamental necessities by offering
higher added benefits. Some are restricted in their point of view to small applications
executed locally with not many opportunities to be updated and adapted to regional or
global markets. Others open new markets in other developing nations and may
likewise compete in developed nations. Some grassroots or inclusive innovations are
social innovations that further develop the well-being of society using innovations to
address social needs.
High-tech innovations are imported from developed nations by developing nations
and adapted to the necessities of the local market. A part of those adaptations could be
reverse innovations applicable for the low-hand market or professional in developed
markets requiring less costly good enough solutions for their necessities.
Reverse innovations open new markets in developed nations, since they arrive at the
cost-value level for certain applications, for example, mobile scanning or blood
pressure frameworks in ambulances.
