This paper explores the relevance of technological innovations for internationalisation manufacturing firms. It differentiates between two innovations: eco-innovations and generic-technological (i.e., intelligent manufacturing). By pooling Flash Eurobarometer-415 -433 surveys, we use a broad firm-level sample 4954 European non-European (the US Switzerland) Appling Heckman selection model, findi...

Innova tion is a great generator of inequality. The larger the role it plays in our lives, the more aware we become of the gaps it opens up. 1 Technological innovation wreaks its creative destruction through the market economy. Competition ensures that new products will be pursued and new industries appear. Old investments shrink in value, and new ones mushroom. Technological change redistribut...

Over the past 25 years, intensifying research into metal biosorption elucidated the principles of this effective metal-concentration phenomenon. Biosorption can be cost-effective particularly in environmental applications where low costs of the metal removal process are most desirable. Some efficient natural biosorbents have been identified that require little modification in their preparation....

The universities are the main source of national and regional scientific and technical innovation. Furthermore, universities’ scientific and technological innovation ability determines a country or regional scientific and technological developing level. How to evaluate the innovation and performance of the universities is still unsolved currently. In this paper, the indexes for evaluating the i...

Enrivonmental challenges are projected to increase through the 21st century, and it is natural to consider how new technologies change agricultural dependence on the environment. Technological innovation in agriculture was substantial during the 20th century. Is there a progression toward “modern” technological control of the environment that replaces a “primitive” dependency on natural advanta...

implants, should meet specific interrelated requirements for their biological, physical, mechanical, and technolog ical character [1]. Development of biocompatible materi als is enhanced by nanotechnology and plasma technolo gies [2, 3]. In particular, such technologies can be applied for creation of special porous coatings on the surface of intra tissue implants Porous coatings of this type ca...

The game model of sewage charges, based on incremental mode, was developed. Four modes of high/low sewage charge standards were utilized to analyze the relationship between control strategy on sewage discharge and the development of environmental protection industry. Results showed that the selection of control strategy was heavily dependent on the level of sewage charges. An empirical study wa...

Along with the emergence of new competition rules, namely, the need to reduce the time to launch a product in the market and the capacity to modify and adapt it based on the identification of consumer choices, the approach of an interactive innovation model requires that small and medium industrial enterprises have a technological innovation strategy. This paper presents a support model to smal...
