The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the use of co-creation processes and creating value for the brand in organization size. The methodology of this study occurs through exploratory research supported by case study at Harley-Davidson organization. The results show that the different forms of co-creation used by the company consistently support the creation of value for the brand and the consequent growth of its customer base.

ABSTRACTThe article seeks to demonstrate the relationship between project theory and design practice in the course of Architecture and Urbanism at the University Anhembi Morumbi - São Paulo - Brazil from the application of the Theory of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in order to understand the interrelationship between teaching, research and extension. As a case study we opted for an architectural and urban project, called Boulevard Immigration which is being developed by students and teachers in the Model Office of Architecture and Urbanism at the University Anhembi Morumbi in partnership with Immigration Museum in São Paulo. The importance of this theme is to promote a debate on the relationship between theory and practice in the development of education in Architecture and Urbanism courses, stimulating critical, creative, collaborative and reflective student formation. As investigative procedure method was chosen a bibliographic exploratory research on the Project-Based Learning as a teaching tool that encourages the development of reflection, collaboration and responsibility with social manners and democratic behavior. As final considerations it is clear that the application of PBL provides the students and teachers a set of tools that stimulates the relationship between theory and practice in teaching and learning.RESUMOO artigo visa demonstrar a relação entre teoria e prática projetual no curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Uni-versidade Anhembi Morumbi- São Paulo- Brasil, a partir da aplicação da Teoria do Aprendizado Orientado ao Projeto (AOP) visando compreender a inter-relação entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Como estudo de caso optou-se por um projeto arquitetônico/urbanístico, denominado de Boulevard Imigração que está sendo desenvolvido por alunos e auxiliados por professores no Escritório Modelo de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Anhembi Morumbi em parceria com técnicos do Museu da Imigração, em São Paulo. A importância deste tema é de promover um debate sobre a relação entre teoria e prática no desenvolvimento do ensino nos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, estimulando a formação crítica, criativa, colaborativa e reflexiva do estudante. Como método de procedimento investigativo optou-se por uma pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica sobre o Aprendizado Orientado ao Projeto como um instrumento de ensino que estimula o desenvolvimento da reflexão, da colaboração e da responsabilidade com modos sociais e democráticos de comportamento. Como considerações finais percebe-se que a aplicação da Teoria AOP fornece à discente e docentes um conjunto de ferramentas que estimula a relação entre teoria e prática no ensino e aprendizagem. Contato principal: [email protected]

In this paper the authors aim to gain insight into the relationship between user participation modes and project risk factors, and then they constructed a model that can be used to determine how user participation can be successfully applied in ISD projects with a given set of risk factors. The authors performed an in-depth literature review, which aims to clarify the concept of user participation as part of risk management. They then report on the results of a case study in Cap Gemini where we conduct an exploratory research of the application of user participation in practice. For this exploratory research, a quantitative and qualitative research method was designed in the form of a survey and interviews. Through the results from their case study, the authors gained insight into the relationship between user participation and IS project risk and also determine how user participation can be used to mitigate such risk.

This paper describes exploratory research carried out to examine coworking, an emerging phenomenon of shared, collaborative work spaces, using a case study of the City of Toronto, from the perspective of urban planners and policy-makers. The research is premised on the belief that, as planners, being connected to the pulse of the city and documenting emerging trends is a critical component of our work. The research uses qualitative techniques, including interviews with coworkers and coworking site owner-operators to explore coworking – specifically, to understand the experiences of coworkers, to begin to consider the potential implications of coworking sites on larger city systems, and to examine the relationship between the coworking site, the coworking community, and the surrounding neighbourhood. Ultimately, the research provides future directions for research, in order to inform recommendations about the potential role for public policy and planning intervention in the coworking industry.

Sustainability is associated with many contemporary challenges facing society, prompting sustainability initiatives and research in this field. An emerging strand of research has sought to investigate sustainability as a function of values. Given that values determine and predict perceptions, attitudes and behaviors, understanding employees’ underlying values would provide important insights on how values relate to sustainability-related actions. However, there is a gap in knowledge around individual actors’ roles as influencers or change agents for sustainability, particularly in a construction project context. Drawing on values theory, this exploratory research addresses this gap by conceptualizing the relationship between personal values and sustainability performance. A Temporary Multiple Organization (TMO) (a major infrastructure project in the UK) was used as the case study. An adapted version of Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) was used to measure and analyze the personal values of employees with professional and managerial roles. Statistical and multidimensional scaling analysis were deployed to analyze the responses. Given the lack of theory and research in a construction management context, the potential significance and implications of the findings were explored and analyzed by drawing on existing empirical studies around values. This enabled the development of six theoretical concepts (‘Feeling of Oneness’, ‘Moral Obligation’, ‘Creativity’, ‘Challenge’, ‘Change’ and ‘Compliance’) latterly expressed as propositions. This novel conceptualization has the potential to explain and articulate the relationship between personal values and sustainability performance. This research has both practical and theoretical implications, as it is the first to explain the role of personal values in enabling projects to deliver sustainability in a TMO context.

The article explores the political effects of popular consultations as a means of direct democracy in struggles over mining. Building on concepts from participatory and materialist democracy theory, it shows the transformative potentials of processes of direct democracy towards democratization and emancipation under, and beyond, capitalist and liberal democratic conditions. Empirically the analysis is based on a case study on the protests against the La Colosa gold mining project in Colombia. The analysis reveals that although processes of direct democracy in conflicts over mining cannot transform existing class inequalities and social power relations fundamentally, they can nevertheless alter elements thereof. These are for example the relationship between local and national governments, changes of the political agenda of mining and the opening of new spaces for political participation, where previously there were none. It is here where it’s emancipatory potential can be found.
