An Extensible Framework For Selecting Incremental Innovations, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu
An Extensible Framework For Selecting Incremental Innovations, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu
Arcot Desai NARASIMHALU
There are several innovation methodologies reported in the literature starting from simple concepts such as technology push and market pull all the way to Disruptive innovation. Almost all these methods do not provide for customizability and extensibility. The method described in this paper is called Quick and Dirty Innovation Method or QaDIM in short to represent the fact that the method can be used rather easily to identify incremental innovation opportunities. The paper will first describe the basic concept, and then proceed to give a sample framework before proceeding to describe the extensibility. The method allows firms and individuals to …

Dr Deogratias Harorimana
The innovation in the 21st century goes significantly beyond the high-tech picture driven by small or large industry clusters in a specific region-typically Silicon Valley and M4Corridor. The future of innovation will lie within knowledge management and seamless technological applications. These will be supported by planned funding strategies, possibly with clients as drivers of the innovation. This view seems to be supported by the UK government “Technology and Innovation Futures” (2011); the USA government (2011), study into which leading scholars concede that the future innovation and technological applications for economic growth will include products and processes, improvements in areas such …
Revisiting The Question Of Social Capital In Public Policy: Exploring New Directions For Community Informatics Research, William Tibben
Revisiting The Question Of Social Capital In Public Policy: Exploring New Directions For Community Informatics Research, William Tibben
Dr William Tibben
The paper sets out to analyse the concept of social capital and its utility for Community Informatics (CI) research and practice in public policy. The paper begins by noting that the concept seems to have lost some “currency” in contemporary public policy debates. The rise and fall and social capital as a public policy concept is traced through published government reports in Australia. It then moves onto critical economic discourse to indicate a number of barriers to its adoption within public policy within Australia at the time. The paper then considers whether such criticisms are addressed from a CI perspective …
Technology Enhanced Learning With Open Source Software For Scientists And Engineers, Maurice Dawson, Imad Al Saeed, Jorja Wright, Mrwan Omar
Technology Enhanced Learning With Open Source Software For Scientists And Engineers, Maurice Dawson, Imad Al Saeed, Jorja Wright, Mrwan Omar
Maurice Dawson
This paper represents the evaluation and integration of Open Source Software (OSS) technologies to enhance the learning of engineers and scientists within the university. The utilization of OSS is essential as costs around the world continue to rise for education, institutions must become innovative in the ways they teach and grow Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) majors. To do this effectively professors and administrative staff should push toward the utilization of OSS and other available tools to enhance or supplement currently available tools with minimal integration costs. The OSS applications would allow students the ability to learn critical technological …
