The University

The paper considers the modern university as an economic growth driver within the University 3.0 concept (education, research, and commercialization of knowledge). It demonstrates how the University 3.0 is becoming the basis for global competitiveness of national economies and international alliances, and how its business ecosystem generates new fast-growing industries, advanced technology markets and cost-efficient administrative territories.

Purpose This study aims to identify the countries’ innovation factors that are determinant for them to achieve higher levels of development. In addition, the research identified which of these factors should be prioritized so the countries can move up in the rank of the most competitive. Design/methodology/approach The study used the indicators of innovation and the stage of development of 137 countries proposed by the Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum and techniques of multivariate data analysis. Findings The results indicated that all the factors tested are determinant to lead the countries throughout their stages of development. The research highlights that the factors “Quality of scientific research institutions” and “Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent applications” should be equally prioritized for the countries’ development. Practical implications The results suggested that the factors Capacity for Innovation, Quality of Scientific Research Institutions, Company Spending on Research and Development (R&D), University–Industry Collaboration in R&D, Government Procurement of Advanced Technology Products, Availability of Scientists and Engineers and PCT Patent Applications are decisive for positioning countries in terms of their stage of development and should be part of their public policy and enterprises’ strategic planning. Originality/value The findings show that countries should prioritize the factors Quality of Scientific Research Institutions and PCT Patent Applications, as these factors, when acting together, predict the evolution to higher stages of development.

Available Information

Most fraud-detection models developed to date require the use of private information and focus on companies primarily in retail and manufacturing industries. In the wake of recent corporate failures, a broad spectrum of interested parties now uses publicly available information to monitor their investments. The central issue we raise in this paper is the ability of external parties to detect financial reporting fraud in service-based computer and technology organizations by using publicly available information. Utilizing both financial and nonfinancial information, we develop a model that employs logical reasoning through the use of Excel® and fuzzy logic. We predict fraud in these firms with 76.7 percent accuracy.

Special Concern

It is surely of the greatest importance that those engaged on the development of Civil Aircraft should give attention to all aspects of the economic operation of air transport and consider indirect operating costs and revenue, as well as the direct costs. This is no easy field of study and one may be accused of asking questions rather than providing answers. However, no discussion of short-haul transport can be complete without the fullest consideration of all aspects of airline cost.Although the airframe, engine and accessory manufacturing industries are primarily concerned with the provision of vehicles, systems and equipment for Civil operators, they are also closely concerned with the utilisation of equipment and with the scale and direction of the developments of air transport in the future. We therefore subject to continuous study all areas of potential air transport growth and, of these, the short-haul domain is now of special concern.

Inspection And Maintenance

Research on civil aircraft inspection and maintenance has shown the importance of teamwork in completing aircraft inspection and maintenance tasks. Training has been identified as one of the primary intervention strategies in improving team performance. If training is to be successful, it is clear that we need to provide aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) with training tools to help enhance their team skills and improve team performance within the aircraft inspection/maintenance environment. In response to this need, this paper describes the development of a computer-based multimedia team training tool, the Aircraft Maintenance Team Training (AMTT) software.

This article discusses that military-sponsored research tools can improve the machines that drive civil applications. The Defense Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) researchers tested the engine of the legendary DeHavilland Vampire single seat jet fighter in the late 1940s. This Vampire is owned by Fred Ihlenburg, president of Yakity Yaks Inc., an importer of foreign military aircraft, based in Aurora, Oregon. DERA is investigating heat transfer on turbine blades to help gas turbine manufacturers develop a cooling system that will keep blades at an optimum temperature while minimizing losses in engine performance. More efficient cooling means less air is bled from the compressor, thus improving performance while extending blade life. This work was co-funded by the Central European Commission under the Brite Euram Fourth-Framework Initiative, which is part of the European Union’s strategy to enhance European global competitiveness, and Britain’s Department of Trade and Industry’s Civil Aircraft Research and Technology Demonstration Program. The British program aims to advance the capabilities of the United Kingdom’s civil aerospace companies.

Development of an Integrated Framework for Assessing and Improving the Performance of Manufacturing Industries in Developing CountriesIn developing countries, there is an overwhelming challenge to diversify the economy from the primary sectors to more value adding and income generating sustainable secondary or manufacturing sectors. As global competitiveness intensifies, it is imperative that manufacturing organizations in developing countries can compete at a global level. This research focuses on Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) and the wider Caribbean region. However, its applicability and relevance is extensive. This paper investigates the manufacturing techniques/practices currently implemented in T&T with focus on companies that are compliant with quality and health and safety policies. This study advocates the need for a strategic approach for the successful implementation of world-class manufacturing (WCM) techniques/practices in T&T manufacturing industry. The methodology as well as research instruments developed and used are presented.
