Top Research Papers on Technology

La technologie n'est pas la reponse a tous les problemes. Si, dans une bibliotheque, un systeme integre est incontournable, il y a des cas ou une solution non technique est parfois preferable. Quand un choix technologique s'impose, c'est generalement la simplicite qui doit l'emporter.

Some of the biggest advancements in the world of technology are just around the corner, says Chuck Thompson.

Much of the contemporary debate over technology is explicitly and implicitly focused on the question of whether certain technological styles are appropriate or inappropriate. The framing of the debate in this way is due to an active social movement that advocates appropriate technology (AT). The movement is growing from urgent concerns with the undesirable “hard” equity, environmental/resource, and quality of life impacts of modern industrial technologies, both in developing and developed countries. The major features of the AT movement and its social sources are examined. Then the emerging hi...

Tehnologijski marketing (TM) inicijalno je koncipiran kao integrirajuce podrucje marketinga i tehnologije, s mogucnoscu implementacije u razlicitim prometnim i/ili tehnicki intenzivnim sustavima. Potreba za TM-om postaje evidentna uslijed insuficijentnosti tradicionalnog marketinga u “High-Tech” podrucju i rastucoj “industriji usluga”. Genericki zahtjev za efektivnim usklađivanjem (asocijacijom) ponude i potražnje u osnovi je marketinski problem, bez obzira na specificnosti tehnicko-tehnoloskog sustava. Koncepcija TM-a polazi od temeljnih marketinskih određenja (Core concept) i sustavnog prist...

In particular, we take on a prediction often found in the literature, namely that CorpTech has the potential to...

The last few years have seen technology changing our lives dramatically and the dairy farmer is no exception.

Deeper analysis of the motives and content of the “Tech War” reveals changes in the ideology of the sanctioning policy, evolving toward strengthening U.S. leadership in high-tech markets through technological expansionism (blocking competition).

In recent years, systemic and society-changing technological innovations (Deep Tech or DT innovations) have emerged primarily in the USA and Asia, while Europe is technologically dependent in many application fields. The development of DT is characterised by high financial capital needs. Additionally, intellectual property (IP) management plays a major role. To reduce the technological dependency for many areas in Europe, an adjustment of the government’s role as an actor in the innovation system appears beneficial. Targeted measures can improve the development and transfer of DT and, thus, co...

This study investigates the pivotal role of technological innovation in enhancing the export competitiveness of high-tech products in China, analyzing its interplay with industrial upgrading.

The results show how to apply design thinking to find and design a suitable application for a given technology, contributing to the ongoing conversation about the implementation of design thinking in technology-driven projects.

Today we are witnessing a level of technological development that has not been seen so far. This state actually forces us, to a certain extent, to admit what Schuurman (2010) claimed, that "the time of the technological society is now!". Can we allow technology to develop freely, unhindered? Can we let the thirst for knowledge and for evolution to guide our actions in a society where technology has an alarming rhythm of development? Historical evidence shows the opposite (Hiroshima, Chernobyl, etc.). Thereby, enthusiasm declines and criticism and suspicion arise regarding the fact that not all...

Abstract : When faced with any type of irregular warfare, technology integration has proved to be problematic for developed countries with technologically advanced militaries. Developed countries train and equip their militaries and develop military doctrines that tend to focus on protection from other developed countries. Thus, these military agencies are well prepared for conventional warfare and assume they can use the same operational concepts against irregular adversaries as well. Unfortunately, this theory has proved incorrect. History suggests that developed countries rely on the most a...

A RIT assessment framework is proposed that integrates views from the policy community, academia, and the industry and can be used for evaluating how well high-tech companies adhere to RIT practices, ultimately contributing to technology-driven cities and societies that prioritise human and social well-being.

Since the reform and opening-up, China has developed into the world’s number one manufacturing country. Meanwhile, China’s environmental protection efforts continue to strengthen. So, will changes in the intensity of environmental regulatory policies have an impact on the technological development level and international competitiveness of China’s high-tech manufacturing industries? In response to this issue, we have reviewed relevant research in the field of environmental regulation and export technology complexity, and then selected appropriate indicators to quantify the environmental regula...

While some recent surveys polled the general accounting audience to determine what technology most CPAs use, the Journal of Accountancy turned to a small group of experts--accountants who specialize in adapting technology to their firms' or organizations' needs.

Despite climate heating and rising ecological instability, environmental issues feature rarely in discussions of educational technology. Most commentators presume the continued unfettered use of digital education resources bolstered by occasional claims that emerging technologies might support the ‘greening’ of school and university provision. In contrast to such business-as-usual complacency, this article anticipates ongoing environmental degradation of the planet as radically upending the continued expansion of digital technologies in education. On the one hand, depletion of natural resource...

This paper explores the nature of technology diversification at the product and corporate levels and shows its strong impact upon growth of R&D expenditures and growth of corporate sales. The emergence of "mul-tech" corporations, that is, corporations operating in many technologies, is demonstrated and the hypothesis that technology diversification creates a potential for growth is tested. However, in order to realize mul-tech-based growth it is of vital importance to gear technology management toward reaping both economies of scale and of scope through, among other things, communication and c...
