A Framework of the Impact of Cyberspace on Contemporary Organizations
2006
This paper is an attempt to create a holistic approach to the problem of the impact of the elements operating in cyberspace on an organization. Firstly, a classification of the entities operating in cyberspace is offered. Next, a taxonomy of the possible types of influences of the elements of cyberspace on an organization is presented. In the following part of the paper two matrices concerning types of direct and indirect impact of the above mentioned entities are provided along with examples. Finally, conclusions are offered.
A consumer-based measurement of tourism innovation
2006
SUMMARY The present paper reviews the innovation literature related to tourism and examines the twin problems of operational definitions and measurement of innovation in the tourism sector. A conceptual model is then proposed by which the most relevant aspects of innovation and the most relevant aspects of the “tourism experience” can be integrated conceptually, and which can guide the development of related operational definitions and measurements and lead to a standardization of, and therefore an ability to aggregate, tourism innovation statistics across products, providers, markets and geopolitical regions. The model first categorizes innovations along two dimensions: an “invention-adopt…

Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2016
En el texto se plantea la necesidad de revisar el contexto de la evaluación del trabajo académico para poder entender las dificultades que tienen las revistas académicas latinoamericanas para cumplir con su evaluación a través del índice de impacto y la interacción con las empresas que lo emplean. De igual manera se describe la influencia que ejercen las editoriales comerciales sobre la producción y difusión del conocimiento. Se revisan algunas de las estrategias seguidas por las revistas latinoamericanas para hacer visible el conocimiento producido, al tiempo que se presenta la situación de las revistas mexicanas de investigación educativa en las bases de datos internacionales y regionales…

Coffee biowaste valorization within circular economy: an evaluation method of spent coffee grounds potentials for mortar production
2021
Abstract Purpose Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are biowastes extensively generated within the coffee supply chain. Nowadays, their disposal represents an increasing environmental concern due to its toxicity and organic nature. With the estimated increase of coffee production and consumption in the upcoming years, there is an imperative need to find a proper reverse option, along with a novel industrial application, which allows for the valorization of this coffee by-product within a circular economy perspective. This study aims at investigating a potential reuse of spent coffee grounds to produce novel construction materials to be used for sustainable buildings. Methods After having illustrate…

Cogeneration: a regulatory framework toward growth
2005
Abstract After having defined the general rules for the European liberalised energy market, new actions are needed to improve the energy system. In the rising common framework, the environmental policies and particularly the cost-internalising actions are being empowered, in order to favour improvements in conversion efficiencies and to promote low environmental impact technologies. The emerging EU policy for the promotion of cogeneration and trigeneration plants that fixes the eligibility criteria for high conversion efficiency plants is here discussed. On the basis of thermodynamic remarks and of a comparative analysis of the evaluation criteria applied to most industrialised countries, t…
Corporate tax cuts and business-friendly policies in the UK - A review of electoral arguments during the 2015 legislative campaign
2016
The stance toward big business was a heated topic during Britain’s 2015 legislative campaign that led to the triumphal, albeit slightly unexpected, reelection of David Cameron, as Prime Minister. More profoundly, it raises the issue of the economic impact of corporate tax cuts and the nature of business-friendly policies in the UK. Firstly, we investigate the electoral arguments on both sides of the political spectrum. These discussions are framed within the overarching approach known as supply-side economics, which has been prevalent in English-speaking countries since the neoliberal revolution in the late 1970s. Secondly, we put forward the idea that widening inequalities, as suggested re…
