Pole Theory

Rural communities often lack the fiscal capacity to make the necessary investments to differentiate their industrial and technology parks in a crowded marketplace. This case study examines Triangle North, a multi-jurisdictional industrial/technology park in North Carolina. The study discusses the application of growth pole theory as the intellectual underpinnings of the joint park, its innovative financing and revenue sharing arrangement, and lessons learned from its implementation that can be applied to other locales.

Disaster resilience is the cornerstone of effective emergency management across all phases of a disaster from preparedness through response and recovery. To support community resilience planning in the Rural Disaster Resilience Project (RDRP) Planning Framework, a print-based version of the guide book and a suite of resilience planning tools were field tested in three communities representing different regions and geographies within Canada. The results provide a cross-case study analysis from which lessons learned can be extracted. The authors demonstrate that by encouraging resilience thinking and proactive planning even very small rural communities can harness their inherent strengths and resources to enhance their own disaster resilience, as undertaking the resilience planning process was as important as the outcomes.The resilience enhancement planning process must be flexible enough to allow each community to act independently to meet their own needs. The field sites demonstrate that any motivated group of individuals, representing a neighborhood or some larger area could undertake a resilience initiative, especially with the assistance of a bridging organization or tool such as the RDRP Planning Framework.

“Talent acquisition, transformation and management are ?critical anchors for the growth of the industry”—Nandan Neilkeni As a result of rapid pace of science and technology around the world and the monstrous intrusion of social media into people’s lives, the changes are no longer related to a generation, decade or a period, but everything can change in a moment. Therefore, sticking to the methods of the past years or decades is a disaster. Today, the number of specialists among the manpower is higher than before, and the ideologists are like the countries’ soldiers fighting on the economic and entrepreneurial front. Science and technology are provided by talents, and they have created interactions regarding socio-economic progress in developing countries.Tec parks are safe havens for returning talents in developing Countries. With certain infrastructures and policies, parks have an essential role in returning talents.This paper is an attempt to explore science and technology for that purpose content analysis technique is used. Furthermore, it discusses the role of Pardis Technology Park in promoting the science and technology.

Turbulent environment is causing increasing risk and uncertainty affecting the functioning of enterprises. Therefore, the need for strengthening their economic security is of basic importance to them. The goal of this paper is to present the understanding of economic security of enterprises from the perspective of enterprises situated in urban technology parks. The topic is relevant and has not been widely discussed yet, particularly within the analysed context of local economic security. To accomplish this goal, the research uses the case study method to analyse Lublin Science and Technology Park (LSTP) and its local environment of the city of Lublin. The study is based on standardised questionnaire directed to enterprises located in LSTP. Empirical studies referring to perception of economic security of enterprises are based on information gained from enterprises located in Lublin with the status of tenants of LPNT, which are used as a base for a case study. The study confirms that location in a technology park which is innovative city’s space has a positive impact on economic security of enterprises. It also confirms the impact of the city on economic security of enterprises as city’s space users. It is attributable both to new enterprises located in the technology park, as well as enterprises relocated there from other areas of the city.

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.

Aquaculture Development

Abstract The fisheries sector in Uganda provides employment, boosts national foreign exchange earnings, and offers a healthy source of protein. Main challenges facing the expansion and sustainability of the sector range from declining fish stocks in the natural water bodies to inconsistent supply to market chains. Development of aquaculture offers great potential to boost Uganda's fish processing capacity but is still limited by a poorly established supply through the market chain. Public-private partnership initiatives have reorganized fish farmers into viable groups that are focusing on filling gaps, thereby directly increasing economic and social benefits, especially to rural communities. Through WAFICOS, a fish farmers association formed in 2004, private sector linkages have been strengthened, fostering aquaculture development in Uganda. Since its formation in 2004, privately operated hatcheries have addressed problems of fish seed availability. The association has created markets for farmed fish products, thus stimulating aquaculture production. Members of WAFICOS, in March 2010, numbering 315, have direct access to advisory services, appropriate technologies, farm inputs, markets and credit facilities. This case study should be read as an illustrative example of how such a fish farmers' association was conceived, set up and its management and working infrastructure developed. From 2008, the Cooperative was supported and advised by the USAID Fish Project, very much with the objective of being a financially self-sustaining organization. Since its inception there have been a number of lessons learned from successes and failures. Time will tell whether the organization continues to develop and can remain financially viable to benefit its members.

This essay offers a glimpse into implementing and facilitating a 6-week psychoeducational health group inside a women’s correctional facility. Using a case study example, this essay discusses conceptualization, interagency collaboration, and lessons learned in the field. Within group work, social workers have a unique opportunity to create safer spaces, recognize trauma histories, and address issues disproportionately affecting justice-involved women. Many lessons learned can be applied across settings, domestically and abroad. With preparation and facilitation, groups can be transformational spaces where women can find camaraderie with one another even in the midst of a pandemic.

Technology Parks

The innovation environments known as technology parks represent a worldwide phenomenon as agents of promotion of scientific and technological development and consequently of economic and social development. Despite different typologies, legal models and governance, there is a consensus in the literature and with managers that the first and noblest function of a technology park is to induce economic development, through technological innovation achieved through the interaction between companies and knowledge-generating institutions. It is also known the complexity of the management and operation of a technology park, involving several stakeholders with different interests and objectives and requiring high financial investments. Given this framework, the question is how to establish technology parks so that these are successful enterprises and development promoters? In this context, this work aimed to present a conceptual model on the management of technology parks that considers the relationships of the concepts of the Triple Helix with the main factors of success and boundary conditions that can influence its performance. It was a methodological approach understood by the theoretical framework and case study. The analysis of critical success factors and boundary conditions is related as prerequisites or parameters for the viability of these environments. The case study was conducted at the Centennial Campus, University Research Park of North Carolina State University (NC State), one of the most prominent science parks in the United States.
