Existing design platforms with multi-dimensional value chains currently have deficits in terms of their business models, resulting insufficient attention to sustainability goals and individual requirements for products these platforms. Co-creation approaches, such as the Do-It-Together (DIT) approach furniture, involve customers manufacturers equal partners production process. This allows more ...

Eco-design is a response to the collective desire engage in sustainable development combining innovation, environment, and profitability participates of products that serve circular economy. While some authors attempt provide evidence on link between eco-design profitability, very few analyze drivers this case. To reduce gap, we try identify factors influencing for eco-designed products. Throug...

One of the biggest problems in energy management is impact on environment. For this, it necessary to propose new techniques and strategies which reduce pollution. Examples such as carbon dioxide other greenhouse gas emissions promote an increase footprint. This carries search for resources from renewable sources sunlight, wind, rain, waves, etc. From these sources, solar could be used Colombia,...

Abstract Introduction Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is the best diagnostic tool for evaluating thyroid nodules pre-operatively. The Bethesda System Reporting Thyroid Cyto-pathology (TBSRTC) in America and THY classification Europe are standardized reporting systems FNAC specimens using six categories. As compared to first edition 2009, a second of TBSRTC published 2017 has revised risk...

Some managerial innovations (MIs) spread widely, and others do not. To gain a better understanding of why, the current empirical study offers rare qualitative exploration interplay two approaches to MI diffusion: rational institutional. Using case emergent mindfulness-based interventions at work, authors show that, many attributes traditionally cited explain diffusion, those pertaining compatib...

Why Don’t Women Patent? We investigate women’s underrepresentation among holders of commercialized patents: only 5.5% of holders of such patents are female. Using the National Survey of College Graduates 2003, we find only 7% of the gap in patenting rates is accounted for by women's lower probability of holding any science or engineering degree, because women with such a degree are scarcely mor...

When Small is Beautiful: Measuring the Evolution and Consequences of the Voluminosity of Patent Applications at the EPO* The joint increase in the number and size of patents filed around the world puts patent systems under pressure. This paper addresses issues in measuring the voluminosity of patent applications and highlights patterns in its evolution. The results based on a 2 million EPO appl...

This paper compares the geographic “reach” of knowledge flows from university inventions through two important channels: market contracts (licenses) and non–market “spillovers” exemplified by patent citations. We find that knowledge flows through market transactions to be more geographically localized than those operating through non–market spillovers. Moreover, the differential effects of dist...
