Integrated surveillance and early warning system for emerging infectious diseases based on One Health concept: Structures and innovations.

One Health is an upgrade and optimization of health concepts, which recognizes the integrated health of the human-animal-environment. It emphasizes the use of interdisciplinary collaboration, multi-sectoral coordination, and multi-organizational One Health approaches to solve scientific questions. The surveillance and early warning system is the basis of public health emergency prevention and control. The COVID-19 pandemic and the emerging infectious disease (EID) have put great challenges on the existing surveillance and early warning systems worldwide. Guided by the concept of One Health, we attempt to build a new pattern of integrated surveillance and early warning system for EID. We will detail the system including the One Health-based organizational structure, zoonotic and environmental science surveillance network, EID reporting process, and support and guarantee from education and policy. The integrated surveillance and early warning system for EID constructed here has practical and application prospects, and will provide guidance for the prevention and control of COVID-19 and the possible EID in the future.Copyright © 2022, National Institute of Parasitic Diseases.

Viewpoint: The co-evolution of knowledge management and business model transformation in the post-COVID-19 era: insights based on Chinese e-commerce companies

Purpose This study aims to answer the question of how business models (BMs) maintain stability while coping with environmental uncertainties. This study proposes a dynamic co-evolution of knowledge management and business model transformation based on a comparative analysis of the focal firms' BMs and their main partners in two e-commerce ecosystems in China. Design/methodology/approach The open data of listed companies regarding the introduction of emerging topics on the transformation tendency of BMs in the post-COVID-19 business world is qualitatively analysed. The theoretical foundation is based on a critical review of the literature. Findings Three aspects of the co-evolution between knowledge management and business model transformation are introduced. These three aspects are as follows: knowledge integration helps with multi-system business integration and decision-making collaborations;knowledge sharing helps to enhance cognitive ability and network value based on businesses;and the creation of new knowledge helps enrich the knowledge base and promote the transformation of BMs. Research limitations/implications Solely attributing a firm's ability to cope with environmental uncertainties to its business model weakens the importance of its knowledge management. This study argues that the co-evolution between knowledge management and business model transformation also plays a key role in a firm's response to issues post-COVID-19. Originality/value This study calls for the development of a normative theory of co-evolution between knowledge management and business model transformation, implying uncharted territories of knowledge management based on interaction with business model designs in e-business ecosystems.

Business models in the Asia-Pacific: dynamic balancing of multiple cultures, innovation and value creation

Owing to the convergence of multiple cultures coupled with the unprecedented rapid development in the decades since the late 1990s, the value creation and innovation logic of Asia-Pacific business models (BMs) has been constantly altered by cultural heterogeneity and thus, have evolved into a more complex and diverse landscape relative to Western developed-economy BMs. Given that relevant issues remain under-researched, the main purpose of our collection is to fill this gap. We provide new insights into identifying, exploring and rationalizing the indigenous innovation ecosystems and unorthodox value-creating logic of BMs emerging from the Greater China territory. Moreover, whereas the COVID-19 crisis has fundamentally changed the way people do business along with the lockdowns followed by some forms of de-globalization;it is expected to see a new wave of BM evolution. We, thus, outline three promising and nascent pathways for future efforts departing from a cultural view to explore the value logic of BMs and BM innovation within the Asia-Pacific region in the post-COVID-19 era: (1) the role of culture in BM innovation;(2) new ways of creating the knowledge and managing knowledge iceberg phenomenon and (3) using the 'Bottom of Pyramid' approach to BM innovation for incorporating social goals into value creation logic.
