Book excerpt: Many nations are currently adopting a variety of directed strategies to launch and support research parks, often with significant financial commitments and policy support. By better understanding how research parks of other nations operate, we can seek to improve the scale and contributions of parks in the U.S. To that end, the National Academies convened an international conference on global best practices in research parks. This volume, a report of the conference, includes discussion of the diverse roles that research parks in both universities and laboratories play in national innovation systems. The presentations identify common challenges and demonstrate substantial differences in research park programs around the world.

Download or read book Trends in the Innovation Ecosystem written by Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation has been a major engine of American economic and societal progress. It has increased per capita income more than sevenfold since the 19th century, has added three decades to the average lifespan, has revolutionized the way we communicate and share information, and has made the United States the strongest military power in the world. Without its historical leadership in innovation, the United States would be a very different country than it is today. Trends in the Innovation Ecosystem is the summary of two workshops hosted by the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP) of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine in February and May, 2013. Experts from industry, academia, and finance met to discuss the challenges involved in innovation pathways. Both workshops focused on the interactions between research universities and industry and the concept of innovation as a "culture" as opposed to an operational method. The goal was to gain a better understanding of what key factors contributed to successful innovations in the past, how today's environment might necessitate changes in strategy, and what changes are likely to occur in the future in the context of a global innovation ecosystem. This report discusses the state of innovation in America, obstacles to both innovation and to reaping the benefits of innovation, and ways of overcoming those obstacles.

Download or read book Protecting Biodiversity in Our National Parks written by Shelby Hollman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the National Park Service is to "preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The park service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world (National Park Service 2019a)." The influx of tourism and lack of funding has left parks struggling to balance tourism with conservation efforts based upon a review of National Park Service budget allocations (The United States Department of the Interior 2019). Conservation management is mandated nationally from the government and parks take this information and apply it within the individual park boundaries and coordinate with their respective state governments (National Park Service 2019a). From communication with the National Park Service concerning biodiversity conservation efforts within the parks, there seems to be no mandated strategy to manage projects regionally. Even though there is communication happening between parks regarding certain research efforts, not all the park staff can easily communicate with staff from other parks. This study examines biodiversity conservation strategies in the Intermountain Region including Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain National Parks, and their partners in addition to national parks in other countries like Canada and Australia. Through qualitative research, including document analysis and interviews, the findings revealed a few key ideas centered around improving graphic communication on the park service website and increasing connection between key stakeholders. The result of the findings is a strategy focused on a regional communication network that connects the National Park Service with donors, partners, researchers, educators, volunteers, and the public through an online portal. The network also provides a way to organize projects by type. Examples of network implementation include a proposed website and an annual report featuring key projects for the National Park Service. The outcome of this research is a report, from an outsider's perspective, for the National Park Service to consider improving communication efforts between the National Park Service, their partners, and the public. The report is intended to make the parks' biodiversity conservation efforts more visible in order to protect them, and potentially promote greater financial sponsorship and volunteerism from visitors to better protect the natural environment in an era of budget shortfalls.

Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.
