¿Cómo afecta la innovación en la satisfacción y la lealtad hacia el establecimiento minorista?
2021
Resumen En el presente estudio, se examinó el concepto de innovación en el sector minorista y se definieron sus relaciones con otras variables, como la satisfacción y la lealtad, tradicionalmente vinculadas con el establecimiento minorista. Para lograr los objetivos planteados, se delimitó un modelo teórico sustentado en la literatura, que se contrastó mediante un estudio empírico utilizando un cuestionario estructurado ad hoc aplicado a una muestra de 510 clientes de establecimientos de alimentación. El análisis de los datos se desarrolló mediante la técnica de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados permiten proponer un conjunto de recomendaciones para la gestión, fundam…
The adoption of green energy technologies: The role of policies in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland
2017
We contribute to the existing research about policy-induced technology adoption in several ways. First, we suggest a new survey design to measure the energy-related policy environment. Second, we simultaneously estimate the policy effects for the adoption propensity and the adoption intensity simultaneously and, third, we compare the policy effects in the three countries, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Based on a representative sample of firms for all three countries we find that policies essentially promote the adoption of technologies and they are practically ineffective for the intensity, which poses a great challenge to future policy designs. Voluntary agreements or demand-related f…
Innovation Policies for Regional Structural Change: Combining Actor-Based and System-Based Strategies
2018
This chapter analyses opportunities and challenges for regional innovation policies designed to promote new path development in different types of regional innovation systems (RISs). RISs differ enormously in their capacity to develop new growth paths due to pronounced differences in endogenous potentials and varying abilities to attract and absorb exogenous sources for new path development. We distinguish between different types of regional industrial path development, which reflect various degrees of radicalness of regional structural change. The chapter offers a conceptual analysis of conditions and influences that enable and constrain new path development in different types of RISs and …
Las competencias básicas en la nueva generación de estudiantes universitarios: Una experiencia de Innovación
2017
[EN] This contribution presents an innovative teaching experience dedicated to developing core competencies in the university student by activating educational practices and evaluation procedures that seek to promote and maximize various competitions. This experiencie has been implemented in different degrees of the University of Valencia during the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. Participating in the study 1285 students through accidental sampling accessibility. After developing a survey methodology based on descriptive-exploratory analyzes data collected allow us to know what is the degree of control perceived by university students around the following core competen…

The pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations
2021
The pricing capability provides a basis for firms’ competitive advantage. However, to date, the literature has not investigated how this capability forms, develops, and matures. In this study, we define the pricing capability as a dynamic capability consisting of three operational building blocks (tools and data, human and relational resources, and processes, routines, and mechanisms) as well as two dynamic capability building blocks (alertness and responsiveness, and value-based strategic thinking). Furthermore, we propose the pricing capability lifecycle of digital innovations that incorporates insights of the dynamic capabilities view (DCV). Based on a longitudinal multi-case study of fi…
Efectos del desarrollo sostenible percibido por el consumidor. Una propuesta de modelo de hipermercados en Ecuador
2020
Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la incidencia del desarrollo sostenible sobre la cadena de efectos: valor percibido - capital de marca - lealtad. Para ello, se propone un modelo teórico de relaciones que se contrasta a partir de una muestra de 317 clientes de hiper mercados en Ecuador. Los resultados, aplicando una metodología exploratoria y confirmatoria, combinada con regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales, mostraron que tanto las acciones de desarrollo sostenible como el valor percibido son pilares maestros sobre los que se puede apoyar la estrategia minorista. Ambas se muestran como variables clave por su naturaleza, en cuanto son multidimensio nales, y por su alcanc…
Investigación en el aula: evaluación de la metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas en la asignatura de Corrosión
2020
[ES] La metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) se introdujo por primera vez en un curso de Corrosión del Master de Ingeniería Química de la Universitat Politècnica de València, durante el curso 2018-2019. Se diseñaron y presentaron diferentes problemas relacionados con todos estos conceptos como metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas. Para evaluar el empleo de este tipo de metodología activa se plantea la elaboración de una encuesta a los estudiantes de manera anónima e individual y la realización de una matriz de escenarios presentes y futuros para la asignatura de forma grupal. Es importante señalar que a pesar de que para muchos de los estudiantes (67%) esta era la …
Cloning and training collective intelligence with generative adversarial networks
2021
Industry 4.0 and highly automated critical infrastructure can be seen as cyber‐physical‐social systems controlled by the Collective Intelligence. Such systems are essential for the functioning of the society and economy. On one hand, they have flexible infrastructure of heterogeneous systems and assets. On the other hand, they are social systems, which include collaborating humans and artificial decision makers. Such (human plus machine) resources must be pre‐trained to perform their mission with high efficiency. Both human and machine learning approaches must be bridged to enable such training. The importance of these systems requires the anticipation of the potential and previously unknow…
Microinnovations among the paradigms of innovation research - what are the common ground issues
2011
If we consider innovations as human action, this research has been dominated on one hand by social and policy making processes and, on the other, by organizational management thinking. In this study, we shall introduce a third perspective to innovation as action, namely, innovation as a human way of thinking. We claim that innovations are always made by thinking people, and therefore we should also look innovations in concepts of scientific research to human thought processes. Since societal and organizational paradigms concern innovations as relatively large wholes, we term the research on these paradigms as macroinnovation research.Here, we study the relations of microinnovations research…
