Analysis Of Knowledge

In this chapter we carry out a critical analysis of “knowledge democracy” as a new mantra or buzz-word in product innovation leadership. A new paradigm has revolutionized the traditional process of invention, which was previously associated with a hierarchical dissemination of new ideas and competitive hoarding of knowledge assets. This chapter contends that at this environment has been replaced by a collaboration economy (based on so-called “wikinomics”) in which democracy governs the process of knowledge creation and its strategic application. Leadership in product innovation does not rely on the innate internal qualities of organizations, but on the collaborative contribution of stakeholders in many of the activities that make up the NPD lifecycle. The authors suggest a new approach to mitigate factors that can otherwise reduce the value of the NPD process. The chapter then examines how to promote such open collaboration through the development of a new managerial mindset, the acquisition of new distinctive competences, the development of new organizational models, and the management of new collaborative technologies. The authors’ proposed framework of processes and competencies offers the potential for organizations to meet these needs.

Abbott’s 19th century book, Flatland, continues to be popularly interpreted as both a social commentary and a way of visualizing the 4th-dimension by analogy. I attempt here to integrate these two seemingly disparate readings. Flatland is better interpreted as a story with a central theme that social, perceptual, and conceptual innovations are linked to changes in geometry. In such cases as the shift from the two-dimensional world of Flatland to a three-dimensional Spaceland, the taxonomic restructuring of human importance from Linnaeaus to Darwin, or the part/whole proportional shift from Ptolemy’s earth as the center of the universe to Copernicus’s sun, new geometries have changed our thinking, seeing, and social values, and lie at the heart of innovations in both art and science. For example, the two greatest innovations in art — the Renaissance with geometric perspective, and the birth of modern art at the beginning of this century with n-dimensional and non-Euclidean geometries — were developed by artists who were thinking within new geometries. When we view the history of scientific revolutions as new geometries, rather than only as new ideas, we gain direct access to potential manipulations of the structures of human innovation itself. I will discuss the seven historical markers of scientific revolutions (suggested by Kuhn, Cohen, and Popper), and how these seven traits correlate and can now be seen within the new paradigm of fractals and nonlinear sciences.

In some US states, policy makers, pressed by local and regional industrial interests, are debating how to ‘reform’ technology transfer at public universities. ‘Reform’ in this context is generally understood to mean redirecting university technology transfer activities to increase the benefits of state-funded research to local industries. Progress towards this goal is often constrained by federally mandated laws applicable to technology transfer at universities (such as the Bayh–Dole Act) and by university policies that have been placed by state legislatures outside the purview of policy making state officials. Calls for change have also been countered by the view of many universities that the system is not broken. Suggested reforms range from the abolition of the Bayh–Dole Act, which gives universities the flexibility to transfer ownership of federally funded inventions to local industries, to structural or management changes in universities that will promote innovation and/or expedite the licensing of new ideas. This article proposes a new paradigm: instead of measuring the success of technology transfer by counting numbers of patents and licensing deals, the authors suggest measuring knowledge flows between state universities and their localities. This approach should produce a more accurate picture of the full impact of universities on their regions.

The Impact

Strategic Innovation Management is critical for firms that are in pursuit of improved efficiency and their reward is often an increase in their profits and their market share. Process of Strategic Innovation Management is strongly associated with organizational learning and refers to ability of organization to generate, accept and implement new ideas, processes, products or services. The primary goal of process innovation is to generate a notable increase in productivity or to drive down costs significantly. This approach can help organizations achieve major reductions in process cost, improvements in quality, service levels and other business objectives. Strategic Innovation Management is contributor to creation of new markets and products for the market, however even after the benefits of Strategic Innovation Management has been established the impact of Strategic Innovation Management on efficiency of State Owned Enterprises has remained misunderstood. The specific objectives of the study were; to establish the effect of Service innovation on the efficiency of State Owned Enterprises in Mexico City, to establish the effect of product innovation on the Efficiency of State Owned Enterprises in Mexico City. The study used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes. Result findings from literature-based review indicated that innovation had positive and significant influence on the efficiency of State Owned Enterprises. It was recommended that innovation information should be available particularly to regulatory and advisory bodies for guidance to the State Owned Enterprises on the need to craft and employ sound strategies geared towards continuously embracing innovativeness since innovation leads to improved financial efficiency.

This study aims to determine the effect of the effectiveness of promotion through instagram and product innovation on purchasing decisions for Gembul Banana products. The study was conducted because the results of several previous researchers found that product innovation and promotion are key factors in influencing purchasing decisions. The tight business competition that comes from businesses for similar products or substitute products, requires a business to always move faster and creatively to come up with new ideas in order to attract the attention of consumers. The method used in this research is descriptive explanatory method. Analysis of the data used using multiple linear regression analysis model. The population in this study were all buyers of Gembul Banana products by taking a sample of 101 respondents, and taking the sample using accidental sampling technique. The results showed that the effectiveness of promotion through instagram and product innovation had a positive effect on purchasing decisions for Gembul Banana products. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested to Gembul Banana business owners to be more serious in managing Gembul Banana social media, especially in posting photos, endeavor to post photos that are interesting and in accordance with consumer desires, not just photos and uploads on social media. In addition, it is also recommended that the logo of the company should be included on the packaging, not only in the form of a yellow box that is identical to a banana, but a logo must be included so that consumers can remember the product.

Black Hole Information

The article endeavors to show how thinking about black holes as some form of hyper-efficient, serial computers could help us in thinking about the more fundamental aspects of space-time itself. Black holes as the most exotic and yet simplest forms of gravitational systems also embody quantum fluctuations that could be manipulated to archive hypercomputation, and even if this approach might not be realistic, yet it is important since it has deep connections with various aspects of quantum gravity, the highly desired unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. The article describes how thinking about black holes as the most efficient kind of computers in the physical universe also paves the way for developing new ideas about such issues as black hole information paradox, the possibility of emulating the properties of curved space-time with the collective quantum behaviors of certain kind of condensate fluids, ideas of holographic spacetime, gravitational thermodynamics and entropic gravity, the role of quantum entanglements and non-locality in the construction of spacetime, spacetime geometry and the nature of gravitation and dark energy and dark matter, etc. to name a few.
