Knowledge of better farming methods has been a crucial step upon which agriculture has grown over time. Knowledge, on the other hand, is a currency transferred from one person to another with the vision to improve the quality of life of the other person. Agricultural knowledge has been transferred from one generation to the next based on the experience of one society and whatever knowledge they have developed in their existence. This shows that possession of a better and deeper understanding of agricultural processes and strategies is vital in developing the agricultural sector within a particular society. Therefore, better ways of acquiring agricultural knowledge together with improved methods of transmission of the same knowledge is primary in the advancement of agriculture within a group of people. In the last years, farming and agriculture have made significant strides in utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT), particularly in the realm of growers’ reach to market-based knowledge. Information and communication technology is being incorporated in several interventions that aim to properly educate producers about agriculture. In this context, ICT also helps them hold a competitive advantage in the process. This article addresses numerous cutting-edge initiatives that use Information and communication technology’s purpose of providing agricultural knowledge to farmers. Its assessment focuses primarily on answering the question of the intensity of change brought about by ICT and advisory services in agriculture. This focus enables this review to give a clear and conclusive view of how the two factors are creating a competitive advantage amongst different farmer groups and localities.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to estimate the competitiveness for both the Greek food and beverage industry as a whole and the flour and milling industry, justifying the certain economic factors and the way which these factors affect on it.Design/methodology/approach: The Greek food and beverage firms which published their balance sheets for the studying period were studied. According to the existing literature two equations were created and estimated as a simultaneous equations system.Findings: Summarizing the results both for the whole food and beverage industry and the flour milling industry are observed significant similarities on how certain economics factors such as profitability, market share, sustainable growth, age and operating costs affect on competitiveness as measured in this work. This may happen due to the high degree of concentration but also in the special characteristics which present both the Greek food and beverage industry and the flour milling sector.Research limitations/implications: The fact that this work referred only in Greek firms can be a limitation of this research, in spite of that it can provide useful and safe conclusions for the Greek food manufacturing industry.Practical implications: The provision of proposals for increasing firm competitiveness to managers as well as to policymakers.Social implications: The importance of food and beverage industry for the Greek economy as well as that the flour milling industry holds an important position in the Greek food and beverage industry makes the study of the competitiveness for both of them to be important from both an academic and research perspective.Originality/value: The Greek food and beverage industry is the strength of Greek manufacturing and at the same time an important lever for the development of the entire Greek economy. The high quality products it produces and the organized promotion of its products in international markets are elements that give it an advantage and stimulate its competitiveness. The flour milling industry is one of the sectors in which there is intense competition and whose presence in terms of sales, turnover, employment and gross value is particularly important, so a simultaneous study of these cases is very important.

Purpose: This scoping review maps how artificial intelligence (AI) enters educational strategic planning and identifies educator-related determinants and barriers that shape sustained adoption and strategic alignment. Design/methodology/approach: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews, searches were conducted in ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, IEEE Xplore and ProQuest through September 5, 2025. Setting, Perspective, Intervention, Comparison, Evaluation (SPICE) and Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type (SPIDER) frameworks informed question formulation and screening, while Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, and Significance (AACODS) supported transparent appraisal across empirical and conceptual evidence. Nine studies met eligibility criteria reflecting evidence scarcity at the strategy–acceptance interface. Descriptive mapping and thematic synthesis were used to develop an integrative model. Findings: AI appeared across multiple planning stages, most often at implementation, where institutions emphasised infrastructure, organisational capacity, workforce development and governance. Enablers of educator acceptance included leadership and stakeholder engagement, professional development and perceived usefulness. Barriers included ethical and privacy concerns, resistance to change, skills and time constraints and risks of over-reliance. Mission, vision and values were rarely explicit, suggesting that strategic anchoring is often implied rather than operationalised. Research limitations/implications: Evidence is concentrated in higher education and English-language sources and is largely cross-sectional. Future longitudinal and comparative studies should test the proposed pathway. Practical implications: Institutions should manage adoption across the planning cycle with governance, professional learning and policy scaffolding aligned to institutional purpose, supported by vendor oversight. Originality/value: The review links strategic planning and educator acceptance in a single framework, shifting from listing barriers to specifying planning-stage levers relevant to Euro-Mediterranean contexts.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between the prevailing and desirable organizational cultures and the job satisfaction of employees in primary health care structures as a development strategy. To evaluate organizational culture we used the Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) questionnaire, whose authors are Cameron and Quinn (1999). The measurement of job satisfaction was carried out with Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey (JSP) (1985). The tool used to analyze results was the statistical analysis program SPSS V.22.0. Internal affinity audits, regularity checks, non-parametric controls, ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis variance controls were performed. The significance level was set at 0.05 for all statistical analyses. This study showed that bureaucracy was predominant, and for the future, there is a desire for change in the direction of human resources. Job satisfaction was at a moderate level, while there was a positive average for working conditions and a negative average for promotion opportunities.
