Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of three strategies organisational, business and information system – in post implementation of technological innovations. The findings reported in the paper are that improvements in operational performance can only be achieved by aligning technological innovation effectiveness with operational effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach...

development of technology is one of the main factors of political change of the modem world. a technological change could change nature and structure of political arrangements of the society. this restructuring of the society could happen by economic and professional change, by creating new division of labor, by creating new classes and new resources, and so on. in this article, first of all, a...

This report sets out to describe indicators on environmental technological innovation and their usefulness for environment-related STI policy and innovation study. Environmental technological innovations consist of new or modified processes, techniques, systems and products that help to reduce environmental damage. This is a new area for indicator research. In this report we will examine how en...

Although standards can inhibit innovation under certain circumstances, recent research shows that, more generally, they play critical roles in supporting technological innovation and industrial emergence. Hence, there has been an increasing interest in advancing knowledge of the roles of standards in emerging technologies; however, there is as yet limited understanding of how and when different...

This paper examines the effect of the structural changes arising from the globalisation of production and innovation and from technological changes on the environment. Drawing on theories of international production from international business and innovation, we assess the impact of longterm technological change and changes in international production on the international division of labour and...

This paper assesses whether the enforcement of insider trading laws increases or decreases patent-based measures of technological innovation. Based on about 75,000 industry-countryyear observations across 94 economies from 1976 to 2006, we find evidence consistent with the view that enforcing insider trading laws spurs innovation—as measured by patent intensity, scope, impact, generality, and o...

This paper uses U.S. patent data from 1970 to 1994 to estimate the effect of energy prices on energy-efficient innovations. It focuses on both demand-side factors, which spur innovative activity by increasing the value of new innovations, and supply-side factors, such as scientific advancements that make new innovations possible. Using patent citations as a measure of the usefulness of the exis...
