This article analyses potential differences in firm value derived from the innovation-type announcements ‘R&D’, ‘product’ and ‘process’, made by intensive news-generating firms such ...

An interesting problem in the economics of innovation and strategic management of labs is to explain the drivers of breakthroughs and paradigm shifts in science. This study confronts the issue by analysing a main case study: the technological determinant of the discovery of quasi-periodic materials that has generated a scientific paradigm shift in crystallography. Unlike user-friendly radical i...

Based on existing research in media economics, media management, as well as media history, this paper analyzes the characteristics of media innovations. These media-specific attributes help distinguish media innovation from other types of innovation and justify the necessity to establish a distinct field of research on media innovation. As a result, eight attributes are presented. These attribu...

The latter are sometimes shared by workers and consumers in the form of lower wages/salary increases and higher prices. However, the history of occupational health and safety regulation in the United States over the last twenty years reveals that this simplified view o...

Many institutions are in a state of flux in relation to the implementation and use of information communication technology (ICT) by faculty, staff, and students. Earlier research (Stockley 2002) indicates that most institutions are neither at the beginning – nor the end of the implementation continuum; rather, they are more likely to be found somewhere in the middle as institutions vary in thei...
