The Impact

The concept of development has been interpreted in different ways from past to present. This concept was discussed previously on economic, social and cultural aspects; but now it has transformed into concepts like human capital, education, health, innovation, technological development and poverty. A country needs producing for development, and it is necessary to increase efficiency for obtaining profits from this production. At this point the inclination to R&D and innovation is increasing. Today, it is experiencing the transition of a new era. This process can be distinguished by technological change resulted from knowledge creation, innovation and R&D. In addition to the production factors, knowledge and technology have become indispensable where the importance is increasing. R&D and innovation are seen as factors which are increasing economic growth, prosperity and quality of life and which provide competitiveness and productivity growth between countries. In this study, R&D and innovation activities are evaluated and their importance are highlighted in the issue of development for emerging markets. The increasing R&D and innovation projects provided that resources are using more effectively and efficiently by contributing to the development of emerging markets. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of R&D and innovation on development by considering sample emerging markets economies and to make the attention of the scientific community focus on these issues.

This paper assumes that the key to understanding successes and failures in knowledge creation (KC) by academic innovation teams in a scenario of university–industry relations is to identify and evaluate preconditions, needed for efforts to flourish. We examine the synergistic intervention of individual competence, information literacy, innovation culture and communication in academic project team work while KC occurs, resulting in technological innovation. Our in-depth research with 20 university project teams has led us to a more differentiated picture of KC in academic innovation projects. The qualitative technique of categorical content analysis was used. As the main contributions, we present in a four-dimensional perspective the resulting relationships between the knowledge created by the teams and the critical factors that influence its creation. Moreover, deriving from these relations, six patterns of behaviour were found in the study.

Soziale Integration

Zusammenfassung: Im Kontext von Fußballteams im Amateurbereich untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit den Einfluss von “Diversity” bezüglich Nationalität auf das Ausmaß an sozialer Integration und emotionalen Konflikten. Eine querschnittliche Studie an 42 Teams zeigt, dass die Teamzusammengehörigkeitsdauer den Zusammenhang zwischen “Diversity” bezüglich Nationalität und sozialer Integration moderiert: Bei geringer Teamzugehörigkeitsdauer war dieser Zusammenhang negativ, bei langer Teamzugehörigkeitsdauer dagegen nicht mehr signifikant. Eine analoge Hypothese hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes an emotionalen Konflikten bestätigte sich nicht. Die Ergebnisse werden dahingehend interpretiert, dass der negative Einfluss von demographischer Team-“Diversity” auf die soziale Integration unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen im Laufe der Zeit abnimmt.
