Technology innovation is the key motivation to push strategic emerging industry development. Research on key factors to influence industrial technological innovation is essential to enhance strategic emerging industrial technology innovation. This paper analyzes the various factors that influence industrial technology innovation by the fixed effects variable coefficient model. Through the expan...

Academic health centers (AHCs) now play major roles in the development, adoption, and evaluation of medical technologies; the provision of advice to other entities involved in medical innovation; and the education of current and future practitioners. However, recent and potential health care reform initiatives could make it increasingly difficult for AHCs to continue to play their historical ro...

Niviola Cabrera: I think it will be remembered for focusing on social as well as technological innovation and the importance of integrating the two for better and more equitably distributed health outcomes. We’re accustomed to hearing of research and innovation regarding tangible technologies—which receive more global funding—but historically, we haven’t heard as much about the intangibles of s...

The main objective of the present study is to understand the way in which Technological Innovation Capabilities of an industry at the level of its firms, affect the efficiency and the potential of small and micro firms that have to gain their competitive advantage through differentiation and innovation, rather than cost leadership. It attempts to draw on theoretical literature and empirical stu...

In production engineering radical changes are taking place supported in new manufacturing paradigms and in technological developments. The increasing demand for meeting customer requirements and technological innovations have influenced the degree of flexibility built in the manufacturing system and its ability to respond in terms of cost, volume and time delivery. Taking the example of Portugu...

Growing interest worldwide to boost innovation in business sector activities, especially the technology, is intended to maintain or increase national economic competitiveness, inclusively as an effect of awareness concerning the effects resulting from economic activity on consumption of resources and environment, which requires design of new patterns of production and consumption. In this paper...

In this paper principles for accounting in supply chains will be developed. The three principles we introduce are: the reciprocity in information access, asset investment and retrieval, and matching risks and returns. The principles provide guidance in managerial and stakeholder decision making, monitoring and control. The information that management and other stakeholders need is based on thes...

The engineering profession has responded to the issue of sustainable development in two main ways. It has responded through public policy statements that acknowledge the magnitude of the problem in addition to pledging to steer engineering towards a more sustainable future, and it has also responded more directly through technological innovation. In this paper, these two responses will be explo...
