Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in cross-border tax information exchange and reporting. While this dramatic shift was the product of multiple forces and events, a fundamental reality is that politics, technology, and law intersected to drive the shift to the point where nation-states will now transmit and receive from each other significant ongoing flows of taxpayer information. States can now expect to accumulate large stashes of data on cross-border income, assets, and activities on a scale and level of comprehensiveness unmatched by previous information exchange regimes.This article examines the pressing follow-up question of how this data will be used and what issues nation-states will confront when data comes home. Although concerns about data protection and use have been raised in critiquing the new cross-border information exchange regimes, a systematic examination of how governments might use or fail to use data and when those uses will pose unacceptable risks has yet to be undertaken. This article analyzes how domestic politics, priorities, and institutions are likely to affect tax enforcement and data usage at the nation-state level going forward. We argue that despite the dominant focus on global developments, domestic politics and technological constraints will likely play an equally if not more significant role in data use and protection as countries receive data and decide what to do with it. The mere fact that collective political will on a global level produced the information revolution does not prevent domestic forces from either derailing the revolution in practice or redirecting data to other uses. This article maps the potential risks and examines the extent to which individual nation-states will have the capacity or inclination to conduct enforcement, protect taxpayer privacy, and attend to distributional outcomes and risks. We ultimately articulate a framework for understanding the country-level factors likely to affect outcomes and pathways when data comes home.

This paper explores the past, present, and future of library marketing in the United States. While its foundations were laid more than a century ago, not every library is up-to-speed in its knowledge or practice. There are “Haves” with plenty of space, staff, and money, and “Have Nots” that lack some necessities. In the midst of this uneven landscape, the author discusses the organizations and publications that support it, details the trends in four categories, and lists national campaigns and awards. Special attention is paid to the continuing challenges and the possible future scenarios.

Adopting a neo-structural perspective (Moore, 1990; Ibarra, 1995; Burt, 1995, 1998; Lin, 1995; Lazega, 2011, 2012), the present paper investigates the societal and organizational resistances (structural effect) and the relational biases (networking effect) hindering the professional advancement of women-managers in the American firms. Complementary to the (new) affirmative action policies, the cooptation mentoring and the intra-organizational affinity groups are aimed at supporting the professional integration of women-managers through the development of their organizational networks. Nevertheless, these organizational devices rely upon two distinct (assimilative vs. affiitary) logics of professional socialization.

The literature on innovation communities suffers from a lack of clarification of the theoretical construct and associated typologies. The objective of this research is therefore to propose a fine characterization of the communities that interact during innovation projects, by questioning their mutually exclusive character or the potential porosity of their boundaries. Through three case studies of outdoor sport companies, we characterize three types of innovation communities (communities of practice, epistemic and user communities) through five characteristics (their members, objectives, organizational dynamics, communication modes and the nature of their social ties). Moreover, intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms are identified as being at the origin of the decompartmentalization of the three types of communities identified.

AbstractIn 2001, Cay Dollerup and Silvana Orel-Kos from Tampere University revealed how co-printing was a common practice in the translation of children's books. More recently, based on his analysis of a corpus of how-to titles published in France, Christian Robin (2006) suggested that, in this particular sector, co-publishing had become the norm. But what about the other sectors of the industry? How widespread is international co-publishing really? What forms can it take? What are the consequences of such international partnerships for publishers, translators, and for those who study their practices: translation scholars? This essay proposes some tentative answers to these questions. Drawing on the practice of several Québec publishers and translators, this discussion aims to highlight how co-publishing is no longer exclusive to minor languages or illustrated books, but rather has tended to spread to other sectors of the industry, including the most “literary” ones, as well as to international languages. It explores finally the theoretical and practical implications of this fact.

Due to technological obsolescence and strong competition, high-technology firms have a short window of opportunity to develop their clientele in order to generate profit from their research and development investments. However, the failure rate of these new international firms, in their transition to the post-entry stage, is very high. This exploratory study contributes to the emerging literature on the comparison of entry and post-entry practices of new international firms in foreign markets. More specifically, it analyzes the use of traditional and digital marketing communication tools by ten Canadian high-technology firms. The results suggest that, at the entry stage, firms prefer indirect rather than direct communication tools and that they use a smaller variety of tools than post-entry firms do. Limited resources, financial or human, are explanatory factors. However, as part of a better-planned and integrated communications strategy, inexpensive adjustments are possible to deploy sales in a greater number of countries.

With the slogan “Your digital work space is moving into a new era!”, project 1142, entitled “Individual Repertory Service and Sharing of Files” of the University of Montreal, was launched on April 4, 2017. It was established by the Information Technologies division and undertaken in collaboration with the Records Management and Archives Division (DGDA) of the University, with a double aim: on the one hand, to offer convivial new and efficient digital work spaces to personnel (the DocUM unit and the user space OneDrive Enterprise) and, on the other hand, to structure the DocUM unit space with the objective of facilitating management by means of the Official Classification System. This article discusses the different stages in the realization of the project and the numerous challenges that had to be overcome to discover solutions to the problems related to the management of unstructured University of Montreal data.

The past three decades have seen at least 3,200 exonerations across North America. While this number continues to grow, attention must be turned to facilitating successful re-entry amongst this group. By conducting a content analysis of 57 Canadian exonerees, I gathered demographics and common case characteristics to assess the re-entry success of exonerees. Successful re-entry was incredibly difficult for the majority of exonerees due to a lack of specialized re-entry services, counselling, compensation legislation, and healthcare. Exonerees are suffering in the same ways as legitimate offenders while incarcerated and afterward, all while being offered drastically less assistance from Canada’s institutions and government

Our search for collective meaning-making across spaces and places as Tongan global scholars carries intergenerational rhythms. This article is a diasporic collaboration between members of the Tongan Global Scholars Network (TGSN), an online cultural collective drawn together through creatively critical rhythms and a desire to make space for ongoing criticalities through Tongan concepts, knowledge, and approaches. Employing the art of e-talanoa in our search for ways of crafting meaning, we unfold our narratives about TGSN’s humble beginnings using a range of modalities expressed as words, images, screenshots, and poetry. Our desire to connect early career scholars of Tongan heritage across the diaspora of Australia, the United States of America, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Tonga via the online space, led to enabling intergenerational relational rhythms between more seasoned and emerging scholars, sharing their understanding of Tongan knowledge and its relevance in the dominant Western academe. Intergenerational rhythms are central to TGSN’s survival. As a global network, TGSN continues to provide meaningful spaces for creatively critical meaning- making and intergenerational collaborative dialogue.

Background: A scoping review was conducted to map the current body of research pertaining to simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) as a modality for teaching interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in the emergencydepartment (ED). Methods and Findings: The research team followed the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews framework. Studies were included if they involved two or more healthcare professions, utilized simulation as the learning method for interprofessional education (IPE), involved simulation pertaining to the ED, and identified at least one Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative or Interprofessional Education Collaborative IPC competency as a learning outcome. In total, 896 studies were included for title and abstract screening and 806 were deemed irrelevant. Ninety full-text studies were assessed for eligibility and 34 were included in the review. Conclusions: Eighteen studies found Sim-IPE to be an effective method for teaching interprofessional competencies in the ED. Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education appears to be a promising methodology for teaching IPC competencies to ED healthcare professionals. Interprofessional collaboration competency frameworks should be utilized to guide Sim-IPE, and assessment tools specific to interprofessional competencies should be used in the assessment phase of Sim-IPE. Faculty development is a crucial component of Sim-IPE. Further longitudinal and outcome-based research is required.
