This chapter brings together arguments from economics, sociology, and political economy to show that innovation processes are characterized by a dilemma between the advantages of aligned expectations—including greater coordination and investment—and those of diversity, including superior openness to new technological possibilities. To illustrate the argument, the chapter discusses a historical case involving one of the largest coordinated peace-time attempts to hasten technological innovation in the history of capitalism, namely the US energy technology policies of the 1970s and 1980s. Close examination of the commercialization of photovoltaics and synthetic fuel initiatives illustrates both sides of the dilemma between shared versus diverse expectations in innovation: coordination but possible premature lock-in on the one hand, and openness but possible stagnation on the other. The chapter shows that even the exploration and interpretation of new technologies may be as much a product of focused investment as of trial-and-error search.

Technological devices are becoming more and more integrated in the management and control of traffic in big cities. The population perceives the benefits provided by these systems, and, therefore, citizens usually have a favorable opinion of them. However, emerging countries, which have fewer available infrastructures, could present a certain lack of trust. The objective of this work is to detect the level of knowledge and predisposition towards the use of new technologies in the transportation field of the Dominican Republic. For this study, the National Survey on Mobility was administered to a sample of Dominican citizens, proportional to the ONE census and to sex, age and province. The knowledge of ITS topics, as well as the use of mobile applications for mobility, are scarce; however, there was a significant increase that can be observed in only one year. Moreover, technology is, in general, positively assessed for what concerns the improvement of the traffic field, even though there is a lack of predisposition to provide one’s personal data, which is necessary for these devices. The process of technological development in the country must be backed up by laws that protect the citizens’ privacy. Thus, technologies that can improve road safety, mobility and sustainability can be implemented in the country.

In this paper, a mass-spring-friction oscillator subjected to two harmonic disturbing forces with different frequencies is studied for the first time. The friction in the system has combined Coulomb dry friction and viscous damping. Two kinds of steady-state vibrations of the system—non-stop and one-stop motions—are considered. The existence conditions for each steady-state motion are provided. Using analytical analysis, the steady-state responses are derived for the two-frequency oscillating system undergoing both the non-stop and one-stop motions. The focus of the paper is to study the influence of the Coulomb dry friction in combination with the two frequency excitations on the dynamic behavior of the system. From the numerical simulations, it is found that near the resonance, the dynamic response due to the two-frequency excitation demonstrates characteristics significantly different from those due to a single frequency excitation. Furthermore, the one-stop motion demonstrates peculiar characteristics, different from those in the non-stop motion.

The article deals with issues of technologies in the environment of creative economy and creative society, mostly focusing on the following topics: 1) invasion of technologies, which is accompanied by technical illiteracy or simplification of intellection presupposed by a certain technique (e.g. computers); 2) new technologies emerge in the environment dominated by consumption in order to boost consumption; 3) political, media and communication technologies are intertwined to the extent that allows us to speak about the technologized society; 4) technologies are inseparable from creative activities: on the one hand, development of technologies needs creativity, on the other hand, every branch of creative industries needs certain technologies; 5) technologic development is conditioned by their syncretism, i.e. their ability to serve the art (technē) of life and creative intentions; 6) in the creative society, happiness does not depend on constantly upgraded (i.e. consumed) technologies but is rather possible in spite of them; 7) unlimitedness is the greatest limitation of global technologies: unconnected with any existential region, they billow in the wind of ever newer technologies.

This Europe and the World: A law review special issue comprises selected papers presented at a RENFORCE workshop on the theme of tensions between the EU’s trade and non-economic values, held at Utrecht University in November 2017. The symposium addresses normative dilemmas underlying the EU’s trade law and policy. Normative dilemmas subsist between, on the one hand, the EU’s basic pursuit of its commercial interests and trade liberalization, and, on the other hand, the EU’s mandate to promote and safeguard a number of non-economic values, including human rights and sustainable development. The journal symposium aims to unveil normative tensions existing in the EU’s trade and investment policy, and understand some of the key actors and processes through which normative tensions are created and also mitigated. While the tensions between economic and non-economic values in the EU’s trade law and policy have been extensively discussed in literature, the present symposium highlights some of the recent developments in the EU’s trade relations, analyses not only human rights but also sustainable development, and examines the impact of new technologies.

The aim of the study was to obtain a formulation of the implementation of the One-Stop Services Policy (PTSP) in the North Jakarta Administrative City, namely the implementation of Perda No. 12 of 2013, and the Implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 91 of 2017 concerning the acceleration of ease of doing business through the implementation of an information technology-based licensing system (OSS). The research method used a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with a number of informants to determine the conditions and phenomena of the implementation of PTSP policies in North Jakarta. The research involved two research members from students in the framework of thesis research. The results of the research show that implementers have understood their duties and functions, but in the smooth running of their duties, they are constrained by a lack of human resources both in quantity and quality, support for information technology equipment that is not up to date, including the availability of information technology personnel at the district and sub-district levels. Then the OSS policy according to PP No. 24/2018 has not been fully effective, because it has not been fully integrated with the existing licensing system in PM-PTSP DKI Jakarta, namely JakEVO. The main obstacle to policy implementation, namely in terms of human resources, employee status has not been transferred to functional positions so that it affects career ranks and motivation. In addition, there is no HR competency standard for services, for online system services are not implemented according to target. The solution to overcome the obstacles conceptually has not been done.
