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...

Technological innovation is defined as a process of conceiving or gathering new functionalities or characteristics for a product or production method. In this movement, shifts in quality or productivity that are able to adapt a business or a service to the market reality are explored. It can be classified as product innovation, when introduced into the market, or process innovation, when used i...

This article purposes an interpretation of the process of technological innovation in agriculture. We begin with a criticism to the idea of agriculture as a particular environment in economic analysis. We argue that some dynamic concepts from Economics of Innovation, especially as seen by the evolutionary literature, can be used as an adequate theoretical reference to study innovation in agricu...

791 National Tax Journal Vol. LXI, No. 4, Part 2 December 2008 Abstract Tax systems in developing countries, like those in more developed countries, face both new challenges and new possibilities as a result of technological change. In developing countries, taxpayers and tax administrations must cope with more diffi cult environments with fewer resources. Some issues (such as privacy, the benef...

Innovative markets are those which are undergoing rapid development due to changing customer needs or improving technological capability. Because these markets are so dynamic, new products are introduced frequently, and there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding their potential for success. We review literature relevant to firm decision-making, including such topics as timing the adoption ...

Microbial communities inhabit our entire planet and have a crucial role in biogeochemical processes, agriculture, biotechnology, and human health. Here, we argue that 'in situ microbiome engineering' represents a new paradigm of community-scale genetic and microbial engineering. We discuss contemporary applications of this approach to directly add, remove, or modify specific sets of functions a...

This paper analyzes the status of technological innovation management, made a complete concept of technological innovation audit, and sets up a conceptual model of technical innovation audit using systems engineering method. We puts forward an integrity concept of stakeholders at all levels, established a concept model of technological innovation audit and presents the workflow and common metho...

Background To assess whether early health economic modeling helps to distinguish those healthcare innovations that are potentially cost-effective from those that are not potentially cost-effective. We will also study what information is retrieved from the health economic models to inform further development, research and implementation decisions.   Methods We performed s...
