Industrial parks are as popular as they are controversial, in India and globally. At their best they align infrastructure provision and agglomeration economies to jolt industrial growth. More often, they generate negative spillovers, provide handouts, sit empty, or simply do not get built. This paper disaggregates how parks are built and how they fail. It contextualizes parks in India, followed by a thick case study of an innovative scheme that appears to buck the trend. This performance is then explained by the way in which the scheme's design and action fit India's political economy. The paper concludes by considering how the analysis and the lessons learned might inform the design and implementation of industrial park programs and other public interventions, in India and elsewhere.

This case study follows the entrepreneurial journey initiated by a group of undergraduate students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and examines the decisions made and lessons learned along the way. Uncovering the intricacies of the process of business ideation, the case analyses the predisposing conditions that led to the establishment of the Bulb’s Station—a vending booth offering exclusively homemade food. A particular emphasis is placed on analysing the two major experiences that the partners had running the booth, namely, at the 2016 AUS Global Day and the 2016 UAE National Day Celebration at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). By providing detailed information regarding the type, variety, quantity and pricing of dishes on the menu, the reader is brought to estimate the extent to which the booth’s operation was successful at each of the two events. Based on prior challenges and shortcomings in adopted strategies, the partners are now confronted with the critical question of whether to turn the Bulb’s Station into a start-up company in the food industry in the UAE.

Industrial Parks

Eco-industrial parks (EIP) are a community of manufacturing businesses which seek better environmental and economic performance by using the principles of Industrial Ecology (IE). In Taiwan, government-designated EIPs have operated since 1995, with 23 industrial parks currently in operation. This study presents a case from Taiwan, the Linhai Industrial park, and analyzes the park’s transition towards industrial symbiosis and resource sharing. Resource sharing modifications resulted in reduced carbon emissions, millions of liters of fuel saved, and thousands of tons of industrial waste recycled. This successful transition was possible because of coordinated government support. Key factors include technological subsidies, policy support, and willing manufacturers. Additional explanations for Linhai’s current success are explored and future areas of research are identified.

Development Approach

Mixed-use industrial park represents a new development approach of the modern industrial parks. Complying with this tendency, the land use planning of Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (SSGKC) proposes land relevance, non-interference and proportion control principles; discusses various mixing-use modes of commercial service land, residential land and industrial land. The plan also put forward a new type of cluster using layout to enhance the mixed land uses and eventually shape up a new industrial park that well integrates city with Industrial Park and industry with residence.

The study introduced in this paper examines some of the issues involved in the design and implementation of serious games that make use of tangible AR environments. Our motivation is to understand how augmented reality serious games (ARSG) can be applied to some very difficult problems in the real gaming world. Emphasis is given on the interface and the interactions between the players and the serious games themselves. In particular, two case studies are presented, ARPuzzle and ARBreakout. Results from both case studies indicate that AR gaming has the potential of revolutionizing the way that current games are played and used as well as that it can help educate players while playing.

Informational Advantage

This chapter discusses some of the strategies that are commonly used to build effective clusters and industrial parks. Industrial districts (clusters) offer three major advantages: better access to suppliers and markets, labour market pooling, and spillovers of technological know-how. Compared to the central government, local governments are in a better position to identify and solve the bottlenecks that affect clusters and industrial parks, mainly because of their informational advantage. The chapter first provides an overview of clusters and industrial parks before analysing the experiences of—and the lessons learned by—developing countries such as China in building them. Four strategies to increase the chances of success of a cluster and industrial park are highlighted: targeting international firms, targeting grouped businesses, incentivizing first movers, and adopting a step-by-step approach. The chapter also considers a number of reasons why clusters and industrial parks failed in countries like India, Egypt, and Senegal.

This chapter analyzes the traditional, ‘Weberian’ bureaucratic powers of the international secretariats of international organizations (IOs). It argues that globalization is opening up new, post-Weberian power bases for secretariats and IOs at large which were not envisaged in Weber's time. These new power bases include emerging global networks of cooperation between secretariats and other actors involved in global governance, which further reinforce the bureaucratic powers of secretariats by enabling them to exchange expertise and specialized information, best practices, and lessons learned in a flexible and swift manner. The chapter draws upon an in-depth case study of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretariat to illustrate the way in which secretariats exert the aforementioned Weberian and post-Weberian powers in practice.

The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to the implementation of unprecedented global restrictions and strict safety measures. Countries and authorities imposed, inter alia, lockdowns, social distancing, border closing, prechecks, and personal protective equipment. Nonetheless, the restrictions had consequences for the whole transport sector. This study endeavors to investigate COVID-19’s immediate impact and the ensuing issues for ports, shipping, and the maritime supply chains and industry. Therefore, we conducted an exploratory review of various sources and, in addition, utilized our findings to conduct a case study to investigate the responses to the pandemic and issues arising in the Port of Aqaba/ Jordan. The way forward for ports to follow after the pandemic was also identified. The results of the analysis of impacts were categorized into 6 different, yet interconnected, attributes. Impacts illustrated how adversely COVID-19 shocked maritime transport, supply chains, and industry, and how the consequent restrictions complicated operations. Findings indicate that ports need to maintain resilience through the pandemic- the same is true for any future shocks- by building risk management plans and expanding the circle of cooperation regionally and globally, not only within the port, but also including the maritime supply chains. Furthermore, despite its unfavorable impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic is considered as the spark for the reconfiguration of shipping and port operations, particularly by integration of smart and digital technologies and by enhancing sustainability, e.g., climate change adaptation and mitigation. Along these lines, post-COVID-19 economic recovery and the way forward should harness socioenvironmental pathways. While the study provides timely analysis, including insights and lessons learned, which can inform policymakers and practitioners on the severity of the pandemic and future pathways, it also contributes to scholarly discussions by pointing out future research agendas that could guide further academic investigations.

As COVID-19 swept the globe, it transformed the way people access information. This has been both challenging and metamorphic for libraries worldwide, particularly those serving indigenous people. Indigenous education has been severely impacted by the pandemic. When the pandemic swept the globe and many countries went into “lockdown,” users were not allowed to visit the physical facilities of libraries and the collections become inaccessible. This chapter is a case study about the adjustment of collection strategies to serve the needs of students in an indigenous studies program during the pandemic. This chapter aims to capture the challenges encountered at a regional-focused collection, the impacts to an indigenous studies program, the adjusting collection strategies to meet the needs of the program, and key lessons learned. The selected case is a regional-focused collection in a research library on Guam.
