The integration of customer knowledge into innovation processes not only faces companies with many challenges but also opens up opportunities for new product development and fostering innovativeness. Past research describes a multitude of approaches and practical examples, which companies can refer to if they are willing to tap customer knowledge.

In China, with increasing maturity of media and continuous emergence of new media, demand on media managers is urgent day by day. However, media management itself is a subject with combination of compound, pluralism, theory and practice. It is easy to train common journalists, but it is quite difficult to train media talents of high quality proficient in management. This article is going to mai...

Social dilemmas are central to human society. Depletion of natural resources, climate protection, security of energy supply, and workplace collaborations are all issues that give rise to social dilemmas. Since cooperative behaviour in a social dilemma is individually costly, Nash equilibrium predicts that humans should not cooperate. Yet experimental studies show that people do cooperate even i...

The dramatic changes in communication technology and the media this last decade of the century have inspired enthusiasm among business community, policy makers and academic scholars. Visions of prosperity and social wealth have become the core arguments for defending the strong emphasis on the Information Society ``project''. Europe is working hard towards research and development but is it tak...

We develop an Onsager-Machlup-type theory for nonequilibrium semi-Markov processes. Our main result is an exact large time asymptotics for the joint probability of the occupation times and the currents in the system, establishing some generic large deviation structures. We discuss in detail how the nonequilibrium driving and the non-exponential waiting time distribution influence the occupation...

Rapid advances in information technology and telecommunications, and more specifically wireless and mobile communications, and their convergence (telematics) are leading to the emergence of a new type of information infrastructure that has the potential of supporting an array of advanced services for healthcare. The objective of this paper is to provide a snapshot of the applications of mobile ...

Empirical analysis has been the foundation for a great deal of network research and has resulted in significant improvements to Internet systems, protocols and practices. Recent progress applying a constantly expanding set of increasingly more sophisticated statistical tools suggests the emergence of a new type of empirical network research that could benefit from a more principled approach for...

The emergence of new information media has had an impact on the working methods of lexicography and terminology as well as in the products obtained. Among the new media, knowledge bases are a valuable source that allows for information to be tailored to the needs of different users. We present several ways of codifying lexical and phraseological information in order to build a knowledge base on...

“Locative media may be understood to mean media in which context is crucial, in that the media pertains to specific location and time, the point of spatio-temporal 'capture', dissemination or some point in between. The term "locative media" initially appeared [...in 2003...] as a tentative category for new media art that sought to explore the intersection of the virtual space of the Internet wi...

This paper examines the notion of community as commonly employed within NIME discourses. Our aim is to clarify and define the term through the community of practice framework. We argue that through its formal use and application, the notion of community becomes a significant space for the examination of emergent musical practices that could otherwise be overlooked. This paper defines community ...
