In this study, we reviewed papers from the 1970s to the present on the theory development of technology transfer (TT). Using the Web of Science search engine, we extracted more than 6,000 papers from the Institute for Scientific Information database. Then, we selected 367 highly related journal papers and analyzed them with self-developed software. We found that the TT studies focused on international...
Literature is concerned on whether environmental economic regulations hamper or incentivize firm performance, aside from their objectives of pollutant reductions. This paper adds to the discussion the inclusion of the effects of innovation capabilities on performance when a firm confronts environmental economic regulations, which impose limits to the products, processes or services, which are pollutant...
This discusses the shift of design focus looking at innovation history, and points out the importance of research on designing a service system. The focus of innovation is shifting from seeds or needs oriented products to a service system creating values by the interactions of providers and receivers, and to open innovation. At the same time, the scope of design becomes wider including the whole system...
The field of learning analytics has the potential to enable education institutions to increase their understanding of their students' learning needs and to use that understanding to positively influence student learning and progression. Analysis of data relating to students and their engagement with their learning is the foundation of this process. In this work we investigate the database of learners'...
The purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to report on the processes that are taking place at ISMB, an Italian research center active in the ICT domain. The links between research and higher education at ISMB are explained. The outcomes of a general assessment on existing courses are discussed, describing the profiles of courses included in ISMB portfolio, from those devoted to purely technological...
Defense Patent is typically connected to our national security so that it may often be detained, and not be enforced or applied into practice. Therefore, proper compensation could be given to the researchers in national defense section, for the sustainable technical development of our national security defense cause. Based on the approaches of Analytic Network Process and Golden Segmentation, this...
Rising awareness of the environmental impacts of dominant mobility practices lead to the development of the sustainable mobility paradigm. This paradigm advocates three features of a mobility system: 1. A reduced need to travel, 2. Modal shift towards more sustainable options, and 3. Reduced vehicle kilometres travelled. In this paper, two sets of data are presented to explore the potential of electric...
The application of new knowledge and the development of new technologies have become the keys for high-tech enterprises to participate successfully in market competition in the new economic era. Taking human capital of research and development as the studying object, this thesis explored the allocation of R&D human capital and its economic effects on the high-tech industries mainly through...
How functional economy would be an environmental economy? And more particularly: What is the mode of endogenization of environmental issues in Functional Economy? This paper reveals the ambiguity of environmental issues integration in Functional Economy through discussion of three proposals: environment is consecutive to Functional Economy; environment is necessary to Functional Economy, and Functional...
This paper analyzes how cloud computing -- a technology allowing on-demand, "pay as you go" access to shared and configurable computing resources, can support entrepreneurship. By presenting insights from two theoretical models -- causal logic entrepreneurship and effectual logic entrepreneurship, we discuss how entrepreneurs can take better advantage of the cloud -- an area not yet covered...
New approaches are required to guide social and economic systems in a context presenting a deep change in the meaning of value and in ways to generate it. Until now, policies and strategies, at macro as well as microeconomic level, have focused on closed systems (the great “containers” of the industrial era), and on profits coming from the exchange of goods and services. Nonetheless, the growing misalignment...
Financial market microstructure model is a phenomenon model which describes financial markets based the microstructure theory. The initial values of the unknown parameters and/or states of the model have a great impact on the model identification, so an estimation method which combines genetic algorithm, Kalman filter and maximum likelihood method is presented to estimate the unknown parameters and/or...
Digital platforms are re-shaping organizations and markets. In particular, telecommunication companies are challenged to control digital platforms and to engage generative ecosystems. In order to provide a point of departure for future research, we conduct an explorative case study analysis to determine the state of the art of business models of telecommunication operators' developer platforms. The...
This paper introduces the concept of modularity in financial services, discusses how new value chains are created and addresses emerging opportunities for innovative business models in the digital economy. We argue that innovation occurred in the banking sector despite the lagging adoption of new operational practices but due to technology drive for new ways to provide services. Banking innovation...
The progress of service-dominant logic and service science, and their expanding theoretical basis, has created ambiguities in relation to understanding the micro-foundations of value co-creation. Based on a conceptual analysis of resource integration and value proposing as the foundational practices of value co-creation, this article portrays value propositions as the co-created forms of shared resources...
Taiwan's invoice system is unique in the world in the sense that every invoice must follow the same printed format specified by the government. In addition, an accompanying lottery-like mechanism is implemented to give prizes to some invoice holders periodically as an incentive for citizens to request invoices upon transaction. This allows government to audit business sales, and has proven quite effective...
There is a need to apply robust research findings in the appropriate management and organizational contexts related to analytics and intuitive thinking, and how to connect creativity and innovation with design. The purpose of this minitrack is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities related to analytics and design-led innovations and management, from conceptualization to practical implementation.
Mobile payment systems have been predicted to grow at the same pace as mobile phones and internet shopping for several years now. However, their slow adoption in most countries calls into question the general justifications rooted in economic and technology-acceptance models. This paper proposes that the successful adoption of mobile payment systems depends more on satisfying institutional constraints...
