Abstract:
This research aims to generate an in-depth understanding of the existence or nonexistence of low-technology innovation from a sectoral system of innovation (SSI) perspective. Embedded in the critical realist paradigm, this study espouses the notion of a stratified ontology. Moreover, it considers innovation to be systemic and nonsequential influenced by multiple objects and their relations. Deriving from a systematic literature review, this research addresses knowledge gaps including lack of an exclusive and all-encompassing understanding of LT innovation from the critical realist and SSI pers

Abstract:
The measurement of innovative activity is a critical issue of the analysis of technological change. The first part of this dissertation argues that the standard distinction between producer and user sectors of innovation is a necessary but not sufficient condition to obtain a satisfactory accounting framework of technological change. A further distinction between the subjects (such as firms) and the objects (the innovations themselves) of technological change is needed. An empirical application is provided with a matrix of patents by firms and technological fields which allows to find out "who

The stock market crash of 1929 stands today as the largest decline in market value in the history of the United States. Consequently, the event destroyed the wealth of thousands of American families and institutions.

Information technology (IT) can be used to empower an organization to enable it to continue evolving. One aspect in which an organization can evolve is in the form of information security.

However, as the number of threats towards information has rapidly grown over the years, the concern for information security has also increased. The issue on how to keep information safe from unauthorized people has become more important as well as questioned over the years. During the last decades, the concept of informa

Abstract:
Explicit approaches to risk analysis within the water utility sector, traditionally applied to occupational health and safety and public health protection, are now seeing broader application in contexts including corporate level decision making, asset management, watershed protection and network reliability. Our research suggested that neither the development of novel risk analysis techniques nor the refinement of existing ones was of paramount importance in improving the capabilities of water utilities to manage risk. It was thought that a more fruitful approach would be to focus on the imple

Abstract:

Much of this is due to the substantial revenues arising from crude oil production. With the ready availability of capital the establishing of a domestic industrial sector outside petroleum has not been constrained by finance. To a large extent what development has occurred has been based on the use of expatriate labour in both managerial and non-managerial capacities. With a rapidly growing indigenous population and the wish to expand the non-petroleum manuf

Abstract:
Climate change and the rapid rise of greenhouse gas emissions are emerging as one of the greatest challenges for the modern world.

The Higher Education (HE) sector has significant social, environmental and economic impacts alongside a key leadership role in society and is not exempt from challenging carbon reduction targets, as outlined in the UK Government’s Climate Change Act 2008. In 2005, total HE carbon emissions were 3.339
