Abstract.
The innovative performance of companies has been studied quite extensively and for a long period of time. However, the results of many studies have not yet led to a generally accepted indicator of innovative performance or a common set of indicators. So far the variety in terms of constructs, measurements, samples, industries and countries has been substantial. This paper studies the innovative performance of a large international sample of nearly 1200 companies in four high-tech industries, using a variety of indicators. These indicators range from R&D inputs, patent counts and patent citations to new product announcements. The study establishes that a composite construct based on these four indicators clearly catches a latent variable ‘innovative performance’. However, our findings also suggest that the statistical overlap between these indicators is that strong that future research might also consider using any of these indicators to measure the innovative performance of companies in high-tech industries.

Scientific: Self-referentiality as a power mechanism
Monday, February 27 @ 00:00:00 CET by StKonrath (873 reads) |  Abstract:
The article is a first- and second-person inquiry into power relations between action researchers and participants based on a dialogic action research project with a group of managers at Bang & Olufsen, Denmark. It focuses on discrepancies between our espoused values of dialogue and our theories-in-use characterized by self-referentiality. This concept emerged during the process and describes a non-dialogic way of transforming the perspectives of the other into your own a priori categories and ways of relating. It denotes a power mechanism imposing our regime of truth on participants so that their reality does not count. First- and second-person reflection on self-referentiality is a process of mutual vulnerability and seems to enhance the quality of third-person action and research.

Scientific: From Virtual to Human To Chicken Pet Touching Through The Internet
Tuesday, March 29 @ 23:49:14 CEST by StKonrath (1677 reads) |  
Augmented Reality describes the introduction of virtual content into the real world. The opposite is called Virtual Reality. Both, augmented and virtual reality blended is called Mixed Reality. Cancel the long distance flight to your peers, and meet them right on your desk, wearing a lightweight head mounted display (HMD) with a camera attached to the front. The camera displays a virtual world which was passed from a computer, in which the other participant is acting in. Now it's possible to watch, hear and interact with him/her in his/her 3D representation instead of the two dimensional shape the opponent would have during a usual video conferencing session.
The following project of the Mixed Reality Lab, Singapore, makes use of all of the worlds. Read the following press release from February this year.
Is it possible to remotely touch a chicken and to interact with them, while the chicken remains in a physical world and the chicken owner in a virtual environment? - Here we go ...

Scientific: Study: Innovation Management in a knowledge-Driven Economy
Wednesday, March 09 @ 23:16:42 CET by StKonrath (1021 reads) | Cited from the CORDIS.
[Abstract] The aim of this study by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid was to provide a comprehensive review of the scope, trends and major actors in the development and use of methods to manage innovation in the knowledge-driven economy. The study concentrated on Innovation Management Techniques (IMTs) that aim to improve competitiveness, and specifically on those IMTs that focus on knowledge as an important part of the innovation process.
The study was published in English in 2004. It can be downloaded from the CORDIS website for free.

The Minister for Education and Training Lynne
Kosky, from the State of Victoria in Australia, made it explicit in a speech in early 2003 that an excellent education system by being innovative and creative would produce better outcomes for students.
