Phenomenography has been increasingly used to explore important questions and complex phenomena in engineering education. However, as a relatively new research method (it was introduced in 1981) with unique and nuanced methodological underpinnings, it is not always well understood. In this special session, we will provide an overview of phenomenography methodology. In addition, participants will gain...
The growth of innovative enterprises is a cycle of the process. The growth factors and business growth performance will eventually form a closed loop. In an innovative enterprise growth system, strategy, technology, system, culture, organization, market and social service are the indispensable elements of enterprise growth.
This study proposes a framework of Design-by-Analogy (DbA) based on Structure Mapping Theory (SMT). A workshop is held to apply the framework to transforming the observation on DbA in daily life into creative designs. Results show that the participants' transformations prefer relational mapping to mere element mapping. The creativity in ideation is higher than that in observation; meaning the better...
This article analyzes the costume design of the Hakka Kaleidoscope opera, explore the Hakka ethnic and local customs and practices, in order to study the stage costume style description and display design, and summarizes some characteristics of stage costume design. Hope to work together with the stage clothing designer, in the creation of relevant works of art should vigorously carry forward the...
In recent years, short trips are popular. In addition, the government advocates weekend holidays and with the development of cultural & creative and tourism industries, people release the stress by recreational activities. Besides traveling in foreign countries, cultural & creative and tribal village experience with local characteristics gradually becomes the new option for the people.
With continuous declines in circulation and advertisement volume, China's newspapers have been trying hard in service and organization innovations. We explored major journals and reports on media innovations, identified five main directions of service innovations for China's newspapers and discussed about them one by one.
Resources play an important role in technological innovation. To some extent, the process of innovation is how to use and configure resources. It is impossible to find all available resources successfully by existing resources analysis method. This paper presents a new kind of resource and a new method of resource classification, analyzes the resource characteristic of technological innovations through...
Recent innovations introduced in the electric power system, especially the significant usage of unpredictable renewable energy sources, are making to perform the needed matching of generated and absorbed electricity more difficult than in the past. To facilitate this matching, market regulation can provide economical drivers that stimulate cost-effective energy shifting by the so-called “prosumers”...
Cyber power has become a topical issue for many democracies, but policy and scholarly debates often default to the cyber means alone. However, throughout history, superior means were never enough to secure strategic advantage. Strategy - seeking various ways and diverse means to serve clear ends - is the missing ingredient.
Creativity is the source for innovation and is responsible for ongoing and sustainable progress within companies. Over the years, different theories and practices have been established to enhance creativity and to produce innovative ideas. A number of creativity support systems have been designed, implemented and tested to foster and optimize creativity processes. However, the full potential of information...
This paper first analyzes the necessity of the reform and innovation of art education in China. Then it analyzes the problems of art education reform in our country by using the game theory and evolutionary game theory, and obtains the optimal strategy for the government and relevant departments. Finally, through AHP analysis, we find out the difficulties in the process of art education reform in...
We are currently interested in the study of core concepts: playfulness, imagination, creativity. In here we are looking at existing theoretical perspectives on these concepts, trying to understand the relationships between them, to identify unanswered questions. While trying to put into evidence the relationships between these concepts for the study of creative processes, we aim at designing future...
Are you tired of hearing about disruption? If you're like us, then the answer is yes. It's not that the term disruptive innovation lacks merit—it is certainly a major contribution to strategic thought—but the term itself has been leeched of meaning through repeated misuse.
Lawrence Technological University has developed and administers a week-long summer enrichment program for undergraduate engineering students focused on progressively building from the foundations of the creative process/competencies to the application of innovative techniques coupled with engineering design and problem solving. While this summer enrichment program is administered by the University,...
The traceability of contributions in the joint creation between customers and organizations (co-creation), is recognize as a fundamental task to support activities in obtaining products/services with high potential for innovation. The goal of traceability is to improve the quality of products and services. The information that provides the traceability can be used to support the analysis of the implications...
The technology innovation behavior oflarge enterprises and SMEs has always been a hot spot of the research, this article from the perspective of the Repeatability Game use of Pigs Game ideas, not only from the theoretical research when the development of SMEs and large enterprises to the same scale of the innovative behavior, also used to construct the model in-depth analysis of their behavior and...
The development of private economy is a history of institution change. From prohibiting private economy to approving private economy, from admitting the legal position in the socialism market economy of private-run economy to firmly supporting private economic development, all these reflect a process that the government induces private economy to changing properly according to its different phase...
Correlation between innovation and remote experiment development is in fact correlation between practical experimentation and R&D development. In face to face learning the student employ one assembly for one experiment so that its inference rules are not developed too much. In the case of the remote experiment, the student has the possibility to access many assemblies for the same experiment,...
Student attrition in the enabling sciences suggests that early science and technology education is still failing to capture the imagination of learners. Furthermore, despite initial optimism, e-learning approaches have not redressed this problem. Young students can design an e-learning environment that promotes deep science and technology learning, but high technical support is required for its production...
