• Automating Disaster Recovery Using Cross-Cultural Business Infrastructure as Code for Seamless Cloud Operations Management  
  by Karthikeyan Sivanandi 
  Abstract: Disaster recovery is a basic business continuity and operational resilience requirement in cloud infrastructure today. More workloads moving to the cloud will add complexity, especially in failure and disaster scenarios, making traditional disaster recovery labour-intensive with heterogeneous systems, slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. Infrastructure such as code helps improve overall efficiency, scalability, and reliability in disaster recovery. This paper deals with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, which are used for automated disaster recovery. Other tools applied were Python and MS Excel for data analysis and visualisation. Data was collected from real-world cloud environments and simulations through cost analysis and human error frequency for RTO. Thus, an organisation's codification of disaster recovery strategies may reduce downtime and help it recover faster from interruptions to better meet its RTOs and RPOs. The research has also indicated great advantages in terms of automation of DR processes, including reduced human error during DRs, faster failover times, and increased consistency. The paper provides a case study from real-world implementation. Conclusion Automating DR using IaC enhances efficiency, scalability, and resilience and offers a strong, repeatable, and testable framework that organisations can use to reduce operations-related risks.

  by Seema Bhakuni, V. Bini Marin, Anvay Bhargava, Renu Jahagirdar, N.Rajesh Kumar 
  Abstract: Organisational cultures in the present workplace are undergoing tremendous transformations due to rapid developments in technology, the change of workforce generations, and changes in the socio-economic front. Engagements of workforces and their retention become patently imperative parts of guaranteeing organisational sustainability as well as providing a competitive edge. This paper takes into account the transformational approaches applied to maximising employee engagement as a factor in reducing employee turnover. It uses an interdisciplinary understanding of what styles of effective leadership are, what is meant by complete employee well being programs, and which type of skill development works in practice. Adaptive organisational structures, along with the importance of inclusive practices in the workforce, can create a more committed and resilient workforce. Using both qualitative in-depth interviews and quantitative employee survey data through mixed-methods synthesis helps determine successful strategies of engagement. The results indicate organisations with an orientation toward flexibility, open communication, and employee empowerment will have much higher retention rates. In addition to elevating employee satisfaction, such initiatives foster innovation and teamwork. This research shall help in strategic decision-making and provide actionable suggestions that would support the development of a work environment fostering creativity and employee engagement.

• PhD-Related Entrepreneurship. The Implications of Doctoral Studies for new Entrepreneurs. Does Doctoral Education Influence Entrepreneurship  
  by Erick Silesky, Yendry Lezcano Calderón, Erick Brenes Picado 
  Abstract: This research explores the relationship between doctoral education and entrepreneurial intent and the impact on doctoral program graduates, challenging traditional assumptions that doctoral training inherently fosters entrepreneurship. Contrary to previous findings, the results indicate no significant correlation between doctoral studies and greater entrepreneurial intent, despite institutional efforts to integrate entrepreneurship education into doctoral curricula. Unexpectedly, specific courses with entrepreneurship components showed a negative impact, suggesting a potential misalignment between academic content and the skills required for entrepreneurship. Furthermore, gender analysis revealed no differences in entrepreneurial intent between male and female graduates, highlighting changing social dynamics. The study emphasises the need for doctoral programs to evolve beyond knowledge dissemination, suggesting a more strategic and interdisciplinary approach to entrepreneurship education. Future research adopting longitudinal designs could further uncover how doctoral experiences influence entrepreneurial ambitions over time.

• Mixology and Creative Districts: A Systematic Literature Review  
  by Creta Cota-Cota, Mayer Rainiero Cabrera-Flores, Marta Peris- Ortiz, Alicia León-Pozo 
  Abstract: Urban spaces have long served as nerve centres for social, economic, cultural, and creative development, even as digitalisation detaches human activity from place and rural areas remain culturally relevant. Their dense social fabric, production dynamics, and leisure offerings create conditions where creative processes flourish, especially within cultural industries. Yet these processes show uneven spatial distribution, with art, culture, and innovation concentrated in areas known as creative districts, ecosystems, clusters, or hubs. Studying the dynamics and actors behind their emergence is relevant given their contributions to local economies and global positioning. This research maps the scientific literature to identify relationships, trends, and gaps. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using PRISMA and VOSviewer on Scopus articles. Results show predominant focus on economic and social impacts, urban revitalisation, and city branding, while revealing limited research on cultural identity, tourism appeal, governance, and differentiated innovation.

• Opportunities and Challenges for Organisational Efficiency with Artificial Intelligence in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems  
  by Ankur Saxena, Devendra Kumar Pandey, Haldhar Sharma, Manoj Pandey, Anand Kumar Srivastava 
  Abstract: The incorporation of AI into enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems holds enormous potential to enhance operational efficiency, though significant challenges accompany it. Gains from improved measurements that can be quantified result from enhanced efficiencies enabled by automation, improved predictive analysis, and effective decision support provided by AI. But with these come threats to data security, integration complexity, workforce preparedness, and very high implementation costs. Based on a data sample of 200 organisations, this study assesses the impact of AI on several key performance indicators (KPIs), such as decision accuracy, process efficiency, and cost savings across various departments before and after AI integration. This data would therefore be broken down in SPSS for statistical analysis. Quantitative data will reveal patterns, trends, and correlations. On the other hand, Microsoft Excel and Python enabled data organisation and visualisation through tables and charts, highlighting efficiency gains and common issues such as algorithmic bias and talent acquisition needs. The qualitative insights from stakeholder surveys offer a more differentiated view of attitudes toward AI. Such perception reveals primarily positive views among executives regarding their operational staffs concerns about job security.
