Abstract
Small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increasingly depend on business partnerships to access markets and scale operations, yet they often face trust barriers during contract formation due to the complexity of the verification of their cybersecurity posture and compliance status by their partners. This problem is intensified by rising regulatory expectations, notably the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which many SMEs struggle to interpret and operationalize under constraints of budget, skills, and fragmented responsibilities. This study adopts a Design Science Research approach to blueprint and evaluate a lightweight mapping framework that links commonly implemented security controls to CRA requirements and to widely recognized benchmarks (ISO/IEC 27001 and CIS). Grounded in Institutional Theory and Socio-Technical Systems Theory, the artefact translates regulatory obligations into actionable, evidence-backed controls and produces partner-facing outputs that support transparency in negotiations and service level agreements. The framework is iteratively co-created with a multidisciplinary expert community. Expected contributions include a practical mechanism for making cybersecurity maturity visible, accelerating partnership formation, and enabling sustainable interorganizational relationships while remaining feasible for resource-constrained SMEs.

Abstract
The need to improve the flexibility and dynamism of the Electric Power Systems (EPS) has driven the development and integration of new devices. Among these, FACTS controllers are particularly notable for their ability to regulate multiple system variables. Incorporating FACTS into the grid requires integrating their electrical models into the analysis and operational tools of the EPS, ensuring precise monitoring and effective system control. This article presents novel steady-state models for FACTS controllers, specifically designed for decoupled state estimation methods. The framework updates the algorithm decoupled and model decoupled state estimators and introduces the modified algorithm decoupled estimator, which offers enhanced robustness and convergence. These improvements are validated through theoretical analysis and simulations. The methodology introduces new state variables and decoupled nonlinear functions to represent FACTS controllers, enabling seamless integration into decoupled estimation frameworks. The study assesses the effectiveness of bad data processing using the Largest Normalized Residual Test (LNR-Test), ensuring robustness under decoupled FACTS modeling. Simulations on the IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus test systems include shunt, series, series-shunt, and multiple FACTS controllers, as well as single and multiple bad data. Results demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the decoupled estimators with FACTS controllers and confirm the practical applicability of LNR-Test within the proposed approaches.

Abstract
PurposeThis study aims to explore how identity is formed and evolves within entrepreneurial teams operating in dynamic and uncertain environments. It examines how individual and shared identities interact with knowledge processes and influence collaboration, trust and decision-making, shaping the formation and development of entrepreneurial teams.Design/methodology/approachThis research adopts a multiple-case study approach to explore the entrepreneurial team identity formation and development. It uses one-to-one semi-structured interviews with active entrepreneurial team members who have completed the Central European University iLab Incubation Program. First, an inductive coding strategy was applied. In addition, secondary data were collected through manual web scraping.FindingsThis study shows that knowledge sharing, resource exchange and mentorship through proactive networking shape teams' entrepreneurial identity. Networking and social interactions reinforce each other, while incubation increases legitimacy and identity strength. Trust, open communication and feedback foster adaptability, agility and performance, further consolidating entrepreneurial identity.Originality/valueThis study shifts the focus from individual to collective identity in entrepreneurship, examining how team identity forms and evolves in incubation settings. It highlights the dynamic interplay of networking, knowledge sharing, legitimacy, team dynamics and feedback in shaping shared identity. By emphasizing collaboration and context, it advances understanding of entrepreneurial identity as a collective process.
