Energy Concept

Photobioreactors (pbr) are transparent containers for the controlled cultivation of microorganisms such as algae. The BIQ house is the worlds first architectural project realised featuring flat panel pbr, generating biomass and heat as part of an integrated energy concept. The project is part of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) in Hamburg.In order to implement this potential disruptive technological innovation, technical, ecological and social aspects have been looked at holistically to optimise and develop the system towards market maturity.At the foreground of this monitoring project has been the intensive evaluation and optimisation of the energy efficiency of the technology in relation to the acceptance and reception of the building users.After the successful implementation of the pilot project, a big step towards the market maturity of the system has been taken. Further improvements with respect to the efficiency and a closed value chain are required to demonstrate commercial feasibility and attract investors to implement the system more widely.

  La manufactura de frutas tropicales y la industria alimentaria de bebidas no alcohólicas en la provincia de Manabí-Ecuador, atraviesa por algunas restricciones como insuficiente abastecimiento de materias primas, débiles capacidades locales, deficientes prácticas de producción y transformación, poca innovación tecnológica y escaso acceso a mercados locales, nacionales e internacionales. Se buscó determinar en qué medida influye en la cadena de valor mencionada. Los instrumentos de investigación utilizados se aplicaron a una muestra de población perteneciente al Servicio de Rentas Internas del Ecuador, con el Código Industrial Internacional Unificado, de elaboración de bebidas no alcohólicas (C-11-110-4). Los resultados evidencian que la manufactura de frutas tropicales se relaciona en, alta y significativamente (0.782) con la cadena de valor de la industria alimentaria de bebidas no alcohólicas de igual manera el abastecimiento (0.491), procesos de transformación (0.606), formación del talento humano (0.597), innovación tecnológica (0.657) y canales de comercialización (0.59).   Palabras clave: cadena de valor; industria alimentaria, abastecimiento materias primas; canales de comercialización, acceso a mercados.   ABSTRACT The manufacture of tropical fruits and the food industry of non-alcoholic beverages in the province of Manabí-Ecuador, goes through some restrictions such as insufficient supply of raw materials, weak local capacities, poor production and processing practices, little technological innovation and poor access to local, national and international markets. It was sought to determine to what extent it influences the mentioned value chain. The research instruments used were applied to a sample of population belonging to the Internal Revenue Service of Ecuador, with the Unified International Industrial Code for the preparation of non-alcoholic beverages (C-11-110-4). The results show that the manufacture of tropical fruits is related in a high and significant way (0.782) to the value chain of the non-alcoholic food industry in the same way the supply (0.491), transformation processes (0.606), formation of the human talent (0.597), technological innovation (0.657) and marketing channels (0.59).   Key words: value chain; food industry; raw materials supply; marketing channels; Market access.

Subject area Strategic management and management of innovation and technology. Study level/applicability The course can be used for undergraduate and postgraduate students. The case would be relevant in the strategic management course to understand the concept of technology strategy and the various evaluation parameters guiding firms in their technology decisions. A refresher of the concept of value chain analysis can also be done through the case. It can also be used to teach innovation and technology management to understand the innovation process and the importance of various organizational factors for taking technology decisions. Case overview The case tries to bring together different aspects of technological innovation and technology strategy at North Delhi Power Ltd, Delhi which has taken various initiatives to turnaround the dilapidated power distribution industry in India. It details the various technological initiatives taken by the company to revamp the power distribution situation of the country. Discussion in the case also revolves around the technology decisions (technology strategy) taken by the company to drive the technological initiatives. The organizational culture supporting technology decisions and the technological initiatives are also woven into the case. Expected learning outcomes After a discussion on the case students will be in a better position to appreciate various decisions which firms take with respect to technology. They will get an understanding of what is technological innovation and about the technological innovation process. The importance of organizational factors to supplement technology decisions and innovation will be brought out in the case. Supplementary materials Teaching note.

Innovation Analysis

The innovative value chain is the organic unity of the concept of innovation and the value chain. It emphasizes that all units of the value chain coordinate to increase in value and optimize the system so as to realize the w ho le innovative benefits. Based on the theory of technological innovation, this paper analyzes the traditional product development process and sums up its drawbacks; then constructs the model of enterprises’ innovative value chain and puts forward that what the enterprise's innovative value chain emphasizes is taking the knowledge flows as the intrinsic power class, taking the service flow as the foundation, taking the value increment as the goal, taking the customer demand as the guidance and application through the innovation analysis of enterprise service activity flow.

Digital Innovation

Purpose: The advancement of technologies and their adoption affects the socio-economic growth of nations. This research is focused on how this innovation adoption path is linked to economic growth of nations since the previous IT revolution has been combined with existing industries and adding values in terms of applying intelligence through adopting digital technologies. Approach/Design/Methodology: There are two different approaches—process approach and factor approach—in innovation adoption research. Innovation diffusion research, which is one of the process approaches, is related to adoption, diffusion, and impact theories, but there are limitations in explaining the perspective of a nation other than individual and organization on the basis of previous literatures. Therefore, we build the integrative model to verify innovative growth path of nations by applying Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DoI) and Technology (T)-Organization (O)-Environment (E) framework, which can explain factors of affecting innovation. We evaluate eight hypotheses with data collected from 137 to 212 nations using international information index by credible organizations: World Economic Forum (WEF), World Bank, United Nations (UN), and International Communications Union (ITU), based on the integrative model we proposed. The path analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is performed, and the result shows that the path from technological innovation capabilities (T), human capital (O), and environment (E) is related directly to economic impact, except for the path from human capital to value chain breadth directly and indirectly. The indirect path through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) access, use, and value chain helps to understand the full impact of digital innovation. Practical implications: By verifying this relationship, we expect to give suggestions in policy perspective and in building strategy towards innovative growth of countries. Our results show that technological innovation capabilities take time to show impact in terms of economic growth than the other factors, which are human capital, and political and regulatory environment of country. The nurture of human capital directly affects to the economic growth of nations relative to other T and E factors. The political and regulatory environment support stable ICT usage, which gives impact to the economic growth of nations.
