This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le contexte actuel mondial, les entreprises sont confrontées à une obligation d'évolution dans un environnement complexe et indéterminé. Nos travaux de recherche nous ont conduit à appréhender l'innovation non plus uniquement comme une méthode de conduite d'une action vers un résultat prédéterminé mais comme une approche intégrée prenant en compte son processus et son résultat. En ce sens, les premiers travaux sur la recherche d'une méthodologie globalisante ont permis d'appréhender les différentes dimensions d'un système industriel : produit-organisation-individu. Cependant, nous avons pu démontrer que ces travaux ont conduit au développement d'approches séquentielles, cumulatives qui partent d'objets techniques pour séquentiellement aborder les composantes organisationnelles et humaines. Cette représentation du processus innovant et ses développements méthodologiques, bien qu'efficace à un niveau local, a montré ses limites d'opérationnalisation compte tenu, d'une part, du développement exponentiel des effets de rétroaction à prendre en compte et d'autre part, de l'émergence de contradictions sur les critères d'évaluation de la qualité des résultats attendus sur les différentes dimensions. Notre démarche expérimentale nous a permis de montrer que ces limites d'opérationnalisation nécessitaient d'évoluer vers l'appréhension d'une réalité sous-jacente du système industriel, invisible jusqu'alors. Cette entrée dans la complexité du système nous a permis de caractériser la nature des dimensions sous-jacentes influentes comme étant le système des représentations des acteurs sur les dimensions produit, organisationnelles et comportementales, véritable vecteur de la qualité des liens entre les différentes dimensions de la réalité abordée et clé de voute d'une approche intégrée du processus d'innovation. Ainsi, quelque soit le point d'entrée dans une démarche d'innovation, un travail sur les dimensions cognitives induit des effets concomitants sur les différentes dimensions, produisant une évolution cohérente permettant de dépasser le système des contraintes existant et d'aller vers le résultat souhaité. L’expérimentation de cette base conceptuelle dans le cas Renault et son implémentation sur la problématique de développement de l'E.N.S.G.S.I conduisent à la proposition de bases méthodologiques d'une ingénierie intégrée de l'innovation.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ces travaux se veulent une contribution a l'ingenierie de l'innovation utilisant l'ingenierie systeme comme cadre theorique. Notre but principal est de proposer un cadre de modelisation pour un systeme d'innovation centre sur le produit afin de favoriser et assister la selection objective de la strategie, les processus, l'equipement et l'organisation pour creer un produit individualise et innovant. Pour cela, notre recherche s'est focalisee dans un premier temps en la caracterisation et la formalisation d'un produit individualise. Dans un deuxieme temps, nous avons concu et propose une approche de modelisation pour un systeme d'innovation. Pour cela, nous avons postule que le modele descriptif du systeme d'innovation doit emerger du modele du produit individualise. Cela nous a permis de definir une Ingenierie Systeme de l'Innovation Basee sur les Modeles (ISIBM). Finalement, nous avons applique l'ISIBM dans un scenario experimental concernant un projet industriel de transfert de technologie entre un centre technique et une PME. Les resultats montrent que l'approche de modelisation proposee supporte l'integration des elements theoriques de l'ingenierie de l'innovation.

This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les recherches d’Allan Afuah se démarquent sur plusieurs aspects mais, comme il le rappelle lui-même, son expertise porte sur la création et la capture de la valeur face au défi des innovations technologiques et de la mondialisation. Selon lui, c’est à partir des innovations technologiques qu’il est possible de proposer des solutions de nature stratégique et originale pour créer ou améliorer les performances des entreprises. Ses travaux se situent ainsi à l’intersection du management stratégique, de la technologie et du management de l’innovation en ayant comme point d’ancrage la notion de valeur (Afuah, 1998). Plus précisément, les questions de la création et de la captation de la valeur vont structurer sa pensée, quels que soient les perspectives choisies et les concepts étudiés.
Download or read book Favoriser l innovation dans une organisation par projets sous contraintes de ressources written by Thomas Penide and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le contexte globalisé de l'industrie moderne, l'innovation est devenue un enjeu majeur des entreprises. L'innovation ne doit plus être seulement vue comme le moyen de pérenniser ses activités à long terme, mais aussi comme une composante essentielle des activités quotidiennes de pilotage des organisations. Pour affronter ce problème, et plus particulièrement au sein du Pôle Innovation des Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, l'approche choisie se situe au croisement de deux ingénieries. L'ingénierie d'entreprise, premier prisme de notre étude, permet de déceler ce qui relève des activités quotidiennes dans les processus exécutés, tandis que l'ingénierie d'innovation révèle ce qui relève d'un processus d'innovation spécifique. Au croisement de ces deux ingénieries, une technique spécifique d'alignement a permis de définir une approche originale de management centré sur le processus d'innovation et favorisant la détection, le diagnostic et l'évaluation d'innovation potentielle au cœur même des activités quotidiennes et opérationnelles de réalisation des projets. L'ensemble des propositions de management de l'innovation ont été appliquées au Pôle Innovation, terreau de notre expérimentation, mettant en évidence des axes d'amélioration originaux.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Download or read book Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research written by Aditya Johri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.

Download or read book From the City to the Desert written by Raffael Beier and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, large-scale housing and resettlement projects have experienced a renaissance in many developing countries and are increasingly shaping new urban peripheries. One prominent example is Morocco's Villes Sans Bidonville (cities without shantytowns) programme that aims at eradicating all shantytowns in Morocco by resettling its population to apartment blocks at the urban peripheries. Analysing the specific resettlement project of Karyan Central, a 90-year-old shantytown in Casablanca, this book sheds light on both process and outcome of resettlement from the perspective of affected people. It draws on rich empirical data from a structure household survey (n=871), qualitative interviews with different stakeholder, document analysis, and non-participant observation gathered during four months of field research. The author emphasises that the VSB programme, although formally part of anti-poverty and urban inclusion policies, puts primary focus on the clearance of the shantytown. Largely based on ill-informed policy assumptions, stigmatisation, rent-seeking, and opaque implementation practices, the VSB programme interpreted adequate housing in a narrow sense. By showing how social interactions, employment patterns, and access to urban functions have changed because of resettlement, the book provides sound empirical evidence that housing means more than four walls and a roof.
Download or read book Retooling written by Rosalind Williams and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-08-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humanistic account of the changing role of technology in society, by a historian and a former Dean of Students and Undergraduate Education at MIT. When Warren Kendall Lewis left Spring Garden Farm in Delaware in 1901 to enter MIT, he had no idea that he was becoming part of a profession that would bring untold good to his country but would also contribute to the death of his family's farm. In this book written a century later, Professor Lewis's granddaughter, a cultural historian who has served in the administration of MIT, uses her grandfather's and her own experience to make sense of the rapidly changing role of technology in contemporary life. Rosalind Williams served as Dean of Students and Undergraduate Education at MIT from 1995 through 2000. From this vantage point, she watched a wave of changes, some planned and some unexpected, transform many aspects of social and working life—from how students are taught to how research and accounting are done—at this major site of technological innovation. In Retooling, she uses this local knowledge to draw more general insights into contemporary society's obsession with technology. Today technology-driven change defines human desires, anxieties, memories, imagination, and experiences of time and space in unprecedented ways. But technology, and specifically information technology, does not simply influence culture and society; it is itself inherently cultural and social. If there is to be any reconciliation between technological change and community, Williams argues, it will come from connecting technological and social innovation—a connection demonstrated in the history that unfolds in this absorbing book.

Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects
Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
