Abstract

"The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has played a remarkable role in the creation new transformative technologies, revolutionizing defense with drones and precision-guided munitions, and transforming civilian life with portable GPS receivers, voice-recognition software, self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, and, most famously, the ARPANET and its successor, the Internet.Other parts of the U.S. Government and some foreign governments have tried to apply the ‘DARPA model’ to help develop valuable new technologies. But how and why has DARPA succeeded? Which features of its operation and environment contribute to this success? And what lessons does its experience offer for other U.S. agencies and other governments that want to develop and demonstrate their own ‘transformative technologies’?This book is a remarkable collection of leading academic research on DARPA from a wide range of perspectives, combining to chart an important story from the Agency’s founding in the wake of Sputnik, to the current attempts to adapt it to use by other federal agencies. Informative and insightful, this guide is essential reading for political and policy leaders, as well as researchers and students interested in understanding the success of this agency and the lessons it offers to others."

Abstract

Technology refers to any set of standardised procedures for transforming raw materials into finished products. Innovation consists of any change in technology which has tangible and lasting effect on human practices, whether or not it provides utilitarian advantages. Prehistoric societies were never static, but the tempo of innovation occasionally increased to the point that we can refer to transformation taking place. Prehistorians must therefore identify factors promoting or hindering innovation.This volume stems from an international workshop, organised by the Collaborative Research Centre 1266 'Scales of Transformation' at Kiel University in November 2017. The meeting challenged its participants to detect and explain technological change in the past and its role in transformation processes, using archaeological and ethnographic case studies. The papers draw mainly on examples from prehistoric Europe, but case-studies from Iran, the Indus Valley, and contemporary central America are also included. The authors adopt several perspectives, including cultural-historical, economic, environmental, demographic, functional, and agent-based approaches. These case studies often rely on interdisciplinary research, whereby field archaeology, archaeometric analysis, experimental archaeology and ethnographic research are used together to observe and explain innovations and changes in the artisan's repertoire. The results demonstrate that interdisciplinary research is becoming essential to understanding transformation phenomena in prehistoric archaeology, superseding typo-chronological description and comparison.This book is a scholarly publication aimed at academic researchers, particularly archaeologists and archaeological scientists working on ceramics, osseous and metal artefacts.

Abstract

By delivering the mindful writings from our selected authors, this book portrays one big idea: a new Human-Centered society that balances economics to resolve problems, especially in the use of an integrated area in cyberspace, physical space, and how it impacts the creative industries. Through The 8th Bandung Creative Movement, scholars from 15 Universities around the Asian and European countries have discussed this issue where Human-Centered society became the main consideration in the development.Three topics are presented to the readers. Firstly, "Sustainable Cities and Communities" explores the sub-fields that construct a more sustainable environment for society post-pandemic era, such as technologies, transportation, interior design, architecture, urban planning, etc. While "Art and Design: Recontextualization of Nusantara Tradition and Indigenous Culture" concerned the novel perspectives on recognizing cultural aspects that shape the face of creative industry, from cultural identity, visual and performing arts, pop culture to language and media. The last topic, "Changes and Dynamics in The Creative Industries," reviews the creative approach toward the industry's current trends, including marketplace, destination branding, or digital culture ecosystem. This book will enrich the mind of everybody who is an enthusiast of innovative research on creative industries, human-centered technologies, environmental design, and excellent society 5.0 post-pandemic era.

Abstract

This open access book explores the role of innovation in technological convergence processes in the EU regional space and shifts the focus from absolute and conditional income convergence to technological convergence and its determinants. Presenting new theoretical and empirical evidence on the determinants and trajectory of the EU region’s development and convergence, this book will appeal to scholars of economics and regional science, as well as practitioners and policymakers interested in the policy implications of regional technological convergence. The presented findings will also contribute to the development of the knowledge-based economy paradigm in the regional context. This is an open access book.

Abstract

The purpose of this open access edited collection is to discuss the role and importance of stakeholder engagement in a sustainable circular economy from multiple theoretical and practical perspectives. Developing and maintaining a circular economy is an essential step to a more environmentally friendly and socially inclusive society. In addition to redesigning products and business models to minimise waste and increase the reuse of materials, a transition towards a sustainable circular economy requires collaboration and co-operation between various stakeholders from all parts of society. An international team of contributors explore how stakeholder engagement can foster and support sustainable change, assessing current literature and laying out guidance for future study. The collection is of interest to academics and students of sustainability management and sustainable business models, stakeholder theory and practice, and the circular economy. Johanna Kujala is a Professor of Management and Organizations and Vice Dean for Research at the Tampere University, Faculty of Management and Business, Finland. Her current research interests focus on stakeholder theory and engagement, sustainable value-creation and circular economy, and corporate responsibility and business ethics. Anna Heikkinen is an Adjunct Professor, Senior Lecturer of Management and Organizations, and the Academic Director of the Responsible Business Master’s degree programme at the Tampere University, Faculty of Management and Business, Finland. Her research is primarily in the areas of stakeholder theory and corporate responsibility and sustainability, examining the relationships between business organisations and society. Annika Blomberg is a Senior Research Fellow at the Tampere University, Faculty of Management and Business, Finland. Her research topics include stakeholder engagement, collaboration and ethics and she is interested in critical approaches as well as aesthetically sensitive and language-focused methods.

Abstract

Inhaltsangabe: Dieses Open-Access Buch befasst sich mit der krisenbedingten Transformation touristischer KMU infolge von COVID-19. Fokussiert auf eine Flusskreuzfahrtdestination gelingt es, aus einer multidisziplinären Perspektive von Tourismus und Entrepreneurship heraus, neue Erkenntnisse über die COVID-Krise als Auslöser für Digitalisierung und Geschäftsmodellinnovation zu gewinnen. Business Model Innovation wird dabei als eine neue proaktive Maßnahme für touristisches Krisenmanagement identifiziert. Zudem lassen sich im Gegensatz zu den Wachstumsstrategien vor der Krise nun krisenbedingte Exit- und Innovationsstrategien bei den Akteuren feststellen. Einen besonderen Beitrag leisten die Ausführungen zu Flusskreuzfahrt und Destination, der Implementierung von Business Model Innovation im Krisenmanagement von Destinationen, aber auch die konkreten Praxisbeispiele wie z. B. virtuelle und interaktive Gästeführungsangebote für Menschen mit Handicap. Der Autor Dr. Yves Clément Zimmermann studierte Wirtschaftsrecht in Heidelberg und Saarbrücken (LL.M.), BWL mit Schwerpunkt Logistik in Ludwigshafen (MBA) und promovierte mit Auszeichnung (Ph.D.) im Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Andrássy Universität für Nationale Exzellenz Budapest. Seine Affinität zu Tourismus und Flusskreuzfahrt entwickelte er als Geschäftsführer zweier mittelständischer Touristikunternehmen. Seit 2006 lehrt er zudem an Hochschulen in der Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar.
