 The increasing growth in the development of new technology is changing the way users interact with products. Thus, designers must re-think the human-machine interfaces (HMI) for communicating information regularly. Co-creation – the process of joint creation of users and designers – is an approach to product and experience development that can substantially benefit the generation of innovative product proposals. The present paper aims to assess the feasibility of co-creation workshops for the development of proposals for interfaces of Artificial Intelligence derived products through a case study on interfaces for autonomous vehicles. For this purpose, two sessions of co-creation workshops using group brainstorming techniques were conducted with undergraduate and graduate Design students and professors, who are specialists in interaction and information design. The results showed that the interfaces proposed by the designers were communicated information in a wide range of ways, making use of existing technologies to present messages in an innovative manner, meeting autonomous vehicles’ users’ needs.

This study proposes an analytic hierarchical prediction model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations to help the organizations become aware of the essential factors affecting the implementation Assistive Input Devices (AID). Pairwise comparisons are used to determine the priority weights of influential factors and the ratings of success or failure outcomes amongst decision makers. The subjectivity and vagueness in the prediction procedures are dealt with using linguistic terms quantified in an interval scale [0, 1]. Then predicted success/failure values are obtained to enable organizations to decide whether to initiate knowledge management, inhibit adoption or take remedial actions to increase the possibility of successful AID for disabled. This proposed approach is demonstrated with a real case study involving seven influential factors assessed by eleven evaluators solicited from a special school located in Taiwan.

Commercialisation is accounted as the third mission of the universities; it is the idea expressing that the universities play a socio-economic role. The current research paper attempts to identify and rank the factors influencing the process of commercializing the research results of Payam-e-Noor University (PNU) to recognise the extent to which the identified factors are influential to pave the way for offering a structural-interpretational model of commercialisation according to the present study’s findings. The delineation of a structural-interpretational model based on the investigation of the factors influencing the commercialisation of the researches’ results contributes to the managers and decision-makers in the area of knowledge commercialisation to, meanwhile paying attention to the existent factors offered in the influential and basic levels, set the ground for the corroboration and improvement of the statuses of the existent influential factors in higher levels of the model thereby to bring about an increase in the success rate of the commercialisation of the studies’ results.

Purpose The study has three primary purposes, i.e. (1) to examine the determinants influencing customers’ online purchase intent for modest wear; (2) to measure the effects of electronic innovativeness, fashion innovativeness, perceived value, and trust on the intent to buy modest wear via the Internet; (3) to inspect how the factor “trust” can affect the “perceived value” of modest wear purchase through e-commerce; and (4) to explore the roles of “attitude” and “religiosity” in influencing customers’ intent to purchase modest wear online. Design/methodology/approach 561 Muslim consumers were reviewed in the study. According to the conceptual framework established through a literature review on the constructs suggested, measurement items were modified to the study’s perspective, and a 31-item questionnaire was applied. A regression examination of potential variables was applied using ADANCO version 2.0.1 software and the PLS-SEM. Findings The findings signify that the leading factors affecting online modest wear purchase intent are fashion innovativeness, electronic innovativeness, perceived value, trust, attitude, and religiosity. Meanwhile, trust is the predictor of perceived value, and religiosity is the predictor of attitude. Originality/value There are only two notable studies that focus on modest fashion purchase intention in the online channel with examining only three influential factors. The study is an initial effort to examine new and more complete leading factors affecting online modest wear purchase intent including fashion innovativeness, electronic innovativeness, perceived value, trust, attitude, and religiosity.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.
