Abstract:
This thesis seeks to improve our understanding of the integration of explicit environmental motives into innovation processes. This will be done by applying insights from the social shaping of technology field as well as organisation studies to the area of environmental innovation, which is dominated by environmental management literature. The environmental innovation literature typically conflates the motives behind environmental innovations and the resulting technological outcomes, thus reifying environmental motives and causing confusion regarding the concepts of ‘environmental innovation’

Abstract:
O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi realizar um estudo comparativo entre três processos de secagem aplicados para desidratação de tomates, dois já usuais na indústria, a estufa com circulação de ar e liofilização, e um inovador na secagem de frutas e hortaliças. Para isso foi desenvolvido e testado um protótipo laboratorial do sistema de secagem por fluxo de ar e foram definidos os parâmetros das condições de secagem para cada um dos sistemas utilizados no estudo. A pesquisa de desenvolveu nas etapas: definição dos parâmetros de secagem, obtenção e caracterização do pó de tomate. Foram feitos

Abstract:
À mesure que les entreprises grandissent, elles deviennent moins flexibles. Leurs processus réglés permettent le développement de produits de haute qualité basés sur les produits existants. En contrepartie, ces processus limitent l'introduction de nouveauté et limitent donc le potentiel d'innovations radicales. Par définition, une innovation radicale introduit une évolution majeure dans un système existant ou remet en cause les codes qui y sont établis. Mais, la culture des processus réglés au cœur des entreprises matures limite cette possibilité. Pourtant, dans un contexte d'innovation radica

Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main proposition of this study is that the notion of a single set of universal success factors (enablers) of innovation is naïve. Rather, the importances of different enablers are contextually based and dependent upon different kinds of projects and their attributes. By investigating the roles of project radicalness and maturity in governing the importance of enablers of innovation in the process industries, two major conclusions were made, viz. (1) the importance of enablers are significantly moderated by project a

Abstract:
Stakeholder participation and perceptions by urban practitioners is a study area that requires further research, particularly in socially innovative living concepts where quality of life and social sustainability are key considerations for end-user stakeholders. The aim of this paper is to contribute to knowledge of these innovations by focusing on urban practitioners’ perception of end-user participation in innovations of living such as co-housing, sharing communities and cooperatives that have been built recently responding to societal needs and growing concerns over social sustainability in
