The paper analyzes results of the innovative activity of industrial enterprises, using surveys of innovative activity in the Ukrainian economy. The study estimates the impact of innovation on labor productivity on the basis of Crepon, Duguet, Mairesse methodology (CDM model). An econometric model is suggested to determine the depending of labor productivity on the research and development, the ...

In the paper a novel methodology, TS-U, is proposed based on existing model checking techniques that were extended to successfully model the systems in a ubiquitous environment by introducing time and space constraints relevant in modeling of some ubiquitous system for its validation. Method proposed requires only slight modification of the existing model checking tools by introducing the notio...

today's focus on marketing practices and activities of art-cultural business for growth and development of this business is of paramount importance. because the current (entrepreneurial) marketing model do not explain the marketing activities of such a business. this paper aims to provide a systematic and conceptual model of entrepreneurial marketing activities in the artistic and cultural...

A business intelligence conceptual model (BISCOM) is proposed as a process-focused design theory for developing, understanding, and evaluating business intelligence (BI) systems. Previous work has concentrated on subsets of the BI systems, use of BI tools, and specific business functional area requirements. BISCOM provides a unified and comprehensive design theory that integrates and synthesize...

This article argues that existing theory and research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) provide a limited view of information-seeking behavior and proposes a conceptual model for its examination via CMC and new media. Although most CMC environments eliminate or severely reduce nonverbal and contextual information available to address uncertainty, form impressions, and develop relationshi...

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

A variety of idealized models of communication systems exist, and all may have something in common. Starting with Shannon’s communication model and ending with the OSI model, this paper presents progressively more advanced forms of modeling of communication systems by tying communication models together based on the notion of flow. The basic communication process is divided into different spher...
