The demographics of the traditional American family are changing. More couples are electing to become domestic partners and remain unmarried; domestic partners include same-sex as well as opposite-sex relationships. Understanding the environment within which employers offer domestic partner benefits (DPBs) is essential. DPBs are an issue of marital status as benefits proposed to married employees differ slightly from those offered, if at all, to domestic partners. Our purpose is not only to provide a broad landscape of the barriers surrounding the offering of DPBs from a human resource perspective, but also some of the advantages of doing so.

Neo-colonialism has been observed on the African continent since the decolonisation period of the 1960s, however recent accusations of the neo-colonialist behaviour in the new trend in Sino-African relations have shown there is little consensus on the definition of the term. Using a conceptual framework inspired by Kwame Nkrumah's 1965 work, Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism, this paper analyses Sino-African relations from the perspective of three facets: economic, political, and cultural neo-colonialism. While China has updated the mechanism of neo-colonialism in several ways, such as using non-conditional aid, concessionary loans for infrastructure projects, and South-South cooperation rhetoric, its goals are relatively unchanged from that of the colonial powers of the past, namely obtaining natural resources and creating spheres of influence. As Nkrumah describes, an important mechanism of neo-colonialism is that, unlike colonialism before it, neo-colonialism must contend with the independence of the territories that the neo-colonial powers are attempting to control. By providing marginal improvements to quality of life in Africa in this environment, China has been able to present itself as the ideal alternative to Western aid in order to facilitate, as Nkrumah terms it, a change in masters (Nkrumah).

The aim of this paper is to gain an understanding of the partner selection process for open innovation. The inability to choose partners can lead to problems such as opportunistic behavior, the failure of open innovation, and a reluctance to collaborate. Therefore, partner selection is crucial in open innovation. Attention is directed to the determining factors that must be considered in the selection of a partner. The contents of the paper are mainly based on in-depth interviews with experts and practitioners who represent both organizations and individuals as actors in open innovation activities. The results show that complementarity, compatibility, and trust are important considerations in selecting the right partner. The implication of this research is that a managerial approach is needed that supports the company's ability to find and evaluate external sources of knowledge to support innovation. The originality of this article is to provide an understanding that the existence of an organization in a network helps organizations access external knowledge resources. Involving external parties in the company's innovation process accelerates innovation. In this case, getting the right partner is very important.
