This article is based on current research investigating Māori economies of well-being. A primary question is “what constitutes transformative and prosperous Māori economies of well-being?” The impetus for the inquiry is a surge in interest in strategies that reconcile multidimensional demands in Māori development. The study is situated within an international renaissance of research and policy development in economies of well-being. The article contributes to a comprehensive, multilevel and interdisciplinary review of Māori economies and well-being literature. In addition, it offers a distinctive culturally derived framework: Ngā hono ōhanga oranga (Māori relational economies of well-being). This framework extends understanding of economies of well-being to include relational dimensions derived from Māori ontologies, mātauranga and kaupapa Māori (Māori approach). This framework offers valuable insights that can be used to advance policy development and implementation of economies of well-being. Future directions outline how this framework informs current and future research investigating Māori leadership and decision making.

This article highlights four key reform challenges regarding the quality of public administration and governance (PAG), aimed at increasing ‘SDG-readiness’ at all levels of administration, in a nexus characterized by complexity, volatility, pluriformity and uncertainty. Based on others’ research into how EU Member States institutionalize the implementation of the SDGs, a critical review of SDG-governance approaches, as well as a review paper on the management of the SDGs, it is concluded that that four priority areas could guide research and policy development to accelerate implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Firstly, to recognize that creating an effective public administration and governance is an important strategic policy area. Secondly, to begin with mission-oriented public administration and governance reform for SDG implementation, replacing the efficiency-driven public sector reform of the past decades. Thirdly, to apply culturally sensitive metagovernance to design, define and manage trade-offs and achieving synergies between SDGs and their targets. Fourthly, to start concerted efforts to improve policy coherence with a mindset beyond political, institutional, and mental ‘silos’.

Significant Attention

Operation-level vision-based monitoring and documentation has drawn significant attention from construction practitioners and researchers. To automate the operation-level monitoring of construction and built environments, there have been much effort to develop computer vision technologies. Despite their encouraging findings, it remains a major challenge to exploit technologies in real construction projects, implying that there are knowledge gaps in practice and theory. To fill such knowledge gaps, this study thoroughly reviews 119 papers on operation-level vision-based construction monitoring, published in mainstream construction informatics journals. Existing research papers can be categorized into three sequential technologies: (1) camera placement for operation-level construction monitoring, (2) single-camera-based construction monitoring and documentation, and (3) multi-camera-based onsite information integration and construction monitoring. For each technology, state-of-the-art algorithms, open challenges, and future directions are discussed.

AbstractThis chapter summarises some of the key findings and themes of the book and considers their implications for future research on inequality and segregation in China. I highlight four priority areas. First, there is a need for more research on the dynamics of residential segregation. I argue that the real story of segregation is revealed in the factors and processes that drive long-term change. Second, I emphasise the need for more research on the spatial foundations of inequality—how inequality leads to the geographical separation of rich and poor and how this segregation mediates and reinforces almost every aspect of inequality. Third, I consider the relational and psychological impacts of inequality and the imperative for them to be included in the calculus of policy planning. Fourth, I consider the implications of the Causal Revolution in research methods and argue that they potentially offer the prospect of achieving a scientific approach to policy development and evaluation. I conclude with some reflections on the implications of our findings for future policy directions in China.

In this paper, the authors examine the potential and the reality of pan-Canadian digital curriculum policy access in the current web-enabled global landscape. The authors discuss theory related to the affordances offered by digital technologies for the sharing of research and policy, as well as theory relative to knowledge mobilization and communities of practice, both of which support collaboration and consultation for informed policy development. The authors present their findings from two investigations to test digital access to curriculum policies across Canada’s provinces and territories through their Ministry of Education websites. Through this analysis, the authors provide evidence of the current affordances and barriers related to digital access to curriculum policies and offer suggestions to facilitate knowledge mobilization around curricular responses to child and adolescent health issues.

Research And Policy

Entrepreneurs in general, do contribute to the development of national economies. We need their innovation and risk-taking to create wealth, generate employment and fuel the economy. Hence, knowledge management – both soft and hard is crucial. The benefits of great entrepreneurial venture using the most advanced technology can be nullified by poor knowledge management practices. It is knowledge and management that is the link between success and growth. The key objective of this chapter is to explain different perspectives on what is meant by the Knowledge Management (KM) in relation to entrepreneurship through two cases from India. It is essential that research and policy development fully take into account the differing perspectives of entrepreneurship and knowledge as no single definition fully captures the concepts, nor their underlying assumptions. The chapter focuses on understanding KM as a tool for developing competitive edge and identifies areas of KM application for entrepreneurship success.
