The technological innovation evolution is a selforganization process. There are complex characteristics in technological innovation system. From the perspective of system theory this paper illuminated the self-organization characteristics of technological innovation system and analyzes the self-organization mechanisms of the innovation process and characteristics of openness, dynamic, nonlinear...

The technological frames of reference strand of social shaping of technology theory is used to overlay the issues arising from a case study looking at non-compliance with information systems. A recent review of the theory suggests that although frame content is often addressed, frame structure, the process of framing, and the characteristics and outcomes of frames are largely overlooked. This p...

Citations of other patents or the non-patent literature (notably scientific publications) are useful in quantifying knowledge transfers across organisations (e.g. compa y to comp ny or university to industr ), eographical regions or technolo y fields, as well as capturing knowledge spillo r from specific inv nting entities (e.g. multinational to omestic firms or from public res arch centres to ...

according to rapid changes in information age, iranian organizations should move faster toward optimization of e-business. in order to achieve this strategic goal, recent study develops a conceptual model for presenting the factors affecting e-business diffusion (internal integration and external diffusion) based on toe framework. the purpose of this model is examining the influence of technolo...

This paper considers reasons why financial factors may impact upon the diffusion of new technology and potential means of furthering research upon this topic. The main aim of this paper is to undertake some preliminary discussion of how and why financial factors may impinge upon the diffusion process. Given that there is a close relation between the analysis of diffusion and the analyses of inv...

I would like to thank the organizing committee for inviting me to make the opening speech in this conference, even though my appearance is unfitting, my status unsuitable, my interests irrelevant and myself detached from the present and the future of contemporary scientific developments, “advances and controversies.” On the basis of my academic past, I was asked to talk about the unpredictable ...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is increasingly being employed in modern consumer devices and until now it has been used for mobile payments. However, on further investigation there are other areas where NFC has a key role. Recent developments in Medical and ticketing based NFC applications show promise for being the so called “Catalyst” for NFC’s integration. The objective of this research was ...

The impact of nanopore diffusion on the performance of adsorption separation processes is reviewed. Zeolite membrane processes and kinetically selective cyclic adsorption processes depend for their selectivity on differences in intracrystalline diffusion rates so these processes are designed to operate under conditions of intracrystalline diffusion control. In contrast, the performance of equil...
