In this book, Brian Arthur presents a rich, complex and multi-level conceptualisation of technological evolution. First he views technologies as combinations of components or parts, put together for a particular purpose (such as jet engine technology being composed of a system of sub-parts designed to provide propulsion to aircraft). Second this broad assembly of parts is organized around a core principle (e.g. a jet engine burns fuel), which in turn is derived from a natural phenomena (e.g. fuel combustion). In this way, Arthur views technology as a long chain of artefacts starting at the phenomena, and ending in the designed purpose. Third, Arthur adds a further dimension to this hierarchy by introducing a complex interactive human system to describe the mechanisms through which this technological system evolves over time. Variation is introduced as designers and engineers make new combinations of parts to solve new and existing problems. If interpreted as successful these designs...

Intense changes have arisen in global agriculture, yielding a new market reality that is more complex and competitive than before. To confront these changes, a renewed perspective on the practice of agribusiness management is necessary. However, studies in this critical line of research are scant. This study updated the outlook on the strategic management of agribusiness in Taiwan by conducting in-depth interviews with 10 expert agrientrepreneurs. The results indicated that agribusiness strategies can be categorised as targeting one of three dimensions: the external environment, the internal environment, and sustainable development. This paper discusses each dimension in detail and suggests five broader trends of strategic management.

Adaptive Space can be thought of the relational and emotional freedom for people to freely explore, exchange, and debate ideas. (Arena 2019) The values and design of W. L. Gore & Associates have created the conditions for personal freedom and fulfillment, as well as the free flow of ideas as evidenced by Gore’s repeated acknowledgement as a “Great Place to Work” and its record for prolific innovation.
This glimpse into the Gore practices that create adaptive space include a practical description of the practices, examples of how each practice led to successful innovation, and implications for human resources and organizational professionals. The focus is on practices that create the space to foster four types of connections most potent for innovation: discovery, development, diffusion, and disruption. Gore fosters each of these with approaches that amplify rather than inhibit the freedom for people to work together to transform their ideas into innovative, customer-valued products.

In recent years, the way organizations innovate and develop new solutions has changed considerably. Moving from ‘behind the closed doors’ style of innovating to open innovation where collaboration with outsiders is encouraged, organizations are in the pursuit of more effective ways to accelerate their innovation outcomes. As a result, organizations are establishing creative and entrepreneurial ecosystems, which not only empower employees but also involve many others to co-create new solutions. In this paper, we present a methodology for organizing hackathons, i.e. competition-based events where small teams work over a short period of time to ideate, design, prototype and test their ideas following a user-centric approach to solve a specific challenge. This paper also provides insights into two different hackathons organized in the United Kingdom, and Mexico, as well as a series of 5 hackathons organized in Argentina, Mexico, Switzerland, United Kingdom and in Senegal.

E-commerce and geographical typicity of agrifood products are two leverages for the economic development of a lagging rural region where agribusiness is a leading sector of its economy. However, an effective response to this challenge much depends on how typical products are marketed through the internet to an international audience. This paper introduces a methodology for evaluating web interfaces of e-commerce systems of agrifood SMEs operating in an lagging rural region. The methodology has been applied to a regional survey where it is considered a sample of SMEs located in Calabria, a South Italy region. The collected data has been statistically analysed in order to get results on levels of B2C e-commerce adoption. A particular study is addressed to a classification of e-commerce interfaces depending on both SME’s stage in the industry and the way how SME’s ‘typical producer’ status is perceived by potential customers

Technology is a complex system, composed of
more than one entity and a relationship that
holds between each entity and at least one
other entity in the system, to satisfy needs,
achieve goals, and solve problems of adopters to
take advantage of important opportunities or to
cope with consequential environmental threats for
purposes of adaptation and/or survival in highly
differentiated and volatile environments.

The authors examine the link between creativity and entrepreneurial intention in young people and the roles that family and education may play in encouraging this link. The results from a survey of 180 undergraduate business school students show that the more creative young people consider themselves to be, the higher are their entrepreneurial intentions. Students' creativity also fully mediates the effect of family support for creativity on their entrepreneurial intention. Support for creativity in the university is found to have no effect on their creativity or on their entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship course attendance moderates the effect of individual creativity on entrepreneurial intention.

The primaryobjective of this paper is to determine the impact of organizational culture on the employees’ performance in the telecommunication sector in Afghanistan. Researchers try to apply and adopt previously used questionnaires for the purpose. Both independent variable organizational culture and dependent variable employee performance is divided to their sub-elements to measure them in the targeted organization. As this topic has not been discussed methodically in the context of Afghanistan, therefore, it is perceived vital to conduct such a research and encourage the selected sector for improvement through recommendation.The target population of this research is employees in the telecommunication sector which are about 2000 workforces. This study includes 211 employees of various telecommunication companies in Afghanistan which are selected randomly. To achieve the abovementioned objective, the regression model is used for analysing the data and finding the relationships among...

The study aims to identify how workplace stress and employee behaviour impair the work-life balance of faculty members of Higher Education Institutes in Karachi, Pakistan. This study has included a quantitative survey research design. The study collected 386 sample responses from faculty members using the purposive sampling technique. The PLS-SEM analysis was used for data analysis through SmartPLS version 3.2.9. The results have shown that employee behaviour has a positive and significant effect on ER, IR, and WLB; workplace stress has a positive and significant effect on anxiety; workplace stress has a positive and significant effect on time stress, and workplace stress has a negative and significant effect on work-life balance. Furthermore, the study recommends using person-centered stress management techniques for possible work-life stress and employee well-being. Offering relaxation/care exercise classes, enabling wellness, and supplying facilities, such as gymnasiums, encourag...
