International Journal of Psychology and Strategic Communication

We’re pleased to announce the release of Issue 3 (2025)

This issue brings together timely research on global dynamics, including the ethical and strategic implications of artificial intelligence, ESG risks in international finance, and corporate social responsibility across cultures. A central thread is the role of co-creation in international environments, whether in adaptive marketing strategies, cross-border HR practices, or collaborative innovation.

Featured Contribution: Typology of Industrial Collaborative Ideals

Dr. Peter Egorov and Dr. Natascha Eckert present a pioneering typology of how companies engage in University-Industry Collaboration (UIC). Based on 20 interviews with senior executives from multinational corporations, the study identifies five strategic collaboration models – ranging from informal “Situationships” to complex “Innovation Ecosystems.” The article offers valuable insights into how firms structure, support, and embed academic partnerships within the Triple Helix framework.

Reflecting the journal’s interdisciplinary mission, this issue highlights key concepts such as: global expansion, business internationalization, trade barriers, stakeholder engagement, expatriate strategies, AI ethics, sustainability, HRM in transnational contexts, and strategic communication. Together, these contributions offer valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of operating in a complex, interconnected world.

We invite you to explore the full issue and engage with the ongoing dialogue on strategy, communication, and global transformation.

Ukraine Digital – Supporting Higher Education in Times of Crisis

As part of the DAAD-funded program “Ukraine digital: Ensuring Academic Success in Times of Crisis,” Mittweida University of Applied Sciences has partnered with the National University of Economics in Odessa (ONEU) and the National Oles Honchar University in Dnipro (DNU) to support Ukrainian universities in implementing and sustaining digital educational offerings.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has severely affected the higher education system, with many university buildings damaged or destroyed and numerous faculty members and students forced to leave the country. Despite these challenges, Ukrainian universities have begun to leverage digital teaching methods to provide their students with continuous education.

The “Ukraine digital” initiative focuses on two main objectives: firstly, the transfer of educational materials across 27 disciplines to partner universities to address existing gaps in the education system; and secondly, the enhancement of digital competencies through the application of modern e-learning platforms and methods. Additionally, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences offers financial support through scholarships for Ukrainian students, both those who remain in the country and those who come to Germany.

In the coming years, the project will continue to expand upon established measures and develop further initiatives that cater to the needs of students and universities in Ukraine. The overarching goal is to sustainably improve digital education and establish stable partnerships to strengthen the academic landscape in Ukraine.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce this special issue of the International Journal of Psychology and Strategic Communication (IJPSC), published within the framework of the DAAD-funded initiative “Ukraine Digital: Ensuring Academic Success in Times of Crisis.” This project was launched to support Ukrainian universities in the implementation of digital teaching and helps Ukrainian students to continue their studies under extremely difficult conditions. Despite the challenges brought by war, Ukrainian students and educators have demonstrated outstanding dedication to science, innovation, and personal development.
The contributions featured in this journal are the result of collaborative efforts between Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and our partner institutions – Odesa National Economic University (ONEU) and
Dnipro National University (DNU). These papers reflect not only academic quality, but also resilience, ethical reflection, and a forward-thinking spirit that lies at the heart of this journal’s mission.
I would like to thank all authors, coordinators, and supporting staff for their efforts – and the DAAD for enabling this international collaboration. Let this publication stand as a testament to resilience and collaboration, even in times of uncertainty.
