Gray model of human body shape

December 2000

In order to determine the control dimensions of human body in pattern construction and provide the basis for size specification in clothing industry, a gray model is described and established in the application of predicting size specification. By comparing the features of gray model and regression model, it is proved that the former has many advantages over the latter, i.e. more practical and ... [Show full abstract] more effective in this application. So it is strongly suggested to apply the innovative gray model instead of the traditional regression model of facilitate the calculation procedure in pattern construction.

By using the Web, service companies gain direct access to consumers world-wide, and consumers gain direct access to service companies world-wide. Simplifying distribution and communication of services, aggregators emerge,as an innovative layer of business models. While traditional service industries are focused on products and economies of scale, aggregators focus on customer processes. In this ...

Innovation and re-innovation: A role for the user

January 1986 · Journal of Marketing Management

Roy Rothwell

Various models of the innovation process, from the “traditional” to the more recent, are examined in this paper which focuses on the implications for the role of the user in the innovation process. The author points out the need for greater recognition of the importance of users as active participants in the innovation process. In many industrial sectors user‐need specification and product ... [Show full abstract] development involve more than simply a passive role for the user and innovatory success is associated with active user involvement in product specification, design and development.

Innovation performance in the periphery: The case of mechanical and electrical engineering

August 1998 · Scottish Geographical Magazine

Neil Alderman

This paper concerns the innovation performance of peripheral mechanical and electrical engineering establishments. The results of a major survey demonstrate that, although lagging the traditional industrial heartland, the performance of parts of the periphery is similar to many of the core regions. Detailed interviews with engineering establishments reveal differences between peripheral and ...

Some Scottish case studies illustrate these findings.

Les facteurs stratégiques affectant l'innovation technologique dans les PME manufacturières

April 2009 · Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l Administration

This arti- cle investigates the impact of strategic management on the propensity to innovate and the degree of novelty of innovations developed by SMEs in the manufacturing sectol: The results are based on an estimation of two econometric models using emprical data collected in 2005 from 247 SMEs located'in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec. They suggest that strategic manage- ment variables are important determinants of innova- tion. Their impact exceeds that of some traditional deter- minants of innovation such as research and development (R&D), firm size, and the technological intensity of the industry.

Patternmaking for the underwired bra: New directions

September 2007 · The Journal of The Textile Institute

K. Shin

This article considers the history of patternmaking, the evolution of flat patternmaking, and brassiere patternmaking. The literature related to patternmaking for the brassiere and the underwired brassiere is reviewed, and the author considers the secrecy currently surrounding the practice of patternmaking and the extent to which this has restricted the growth of innovative practice in this area. ... [Show full abstract] The effect this has had on the development, learning and teaching of patternmaking practice is reviewed, and the author presents and evaluates a new approach to bra patternmaking which marks a move away from traditional ‘copy’ methods to a single innovative approach which is practical and provides for further development of patternmaking practice in this area. This study tests the new approach against the traditional method, using industry professionals in both conditions at each of the key stages of patternmaking, cutting, sewing, and fitting. A subsequent double-blind comparison of the product and fitting revealed that experienced patternmakers and fitters were unable to distinguish which bra had been produced using the new method. Feedback from the industry professionals involved in the trial demonstrates a marked preference for the speed and simplicity of the new method.

Competition and innovation behaviour

February 2006 · Research Policy

Jianmin Tang

This paper attempts to shed light on the complex relationship between innovation and competition. Traditional measures of product market competition using industry statistics are often challenged and found wanting. Using the Statistics Canada 1999 Survey of Innovation, this paper develops new measures of competition by arguing that firms’ perceptions about their competitive environment are ... [Show full abstract] important for innovation and are better measures of firm-specific competition. It shows that the relationship can be positive or negative, depending on specific competition perception and specific innovation activity. In addition, it shows that firms tend to bundle process innovation with product innovation, implying that the economic value of process innovation is likely embodied in product innovation.

Toward an analytical industry classification

April 1973 · Technological Forecasting and Social Change

W.H.C. Simmonds

Two kinds of difficulties retard progress in technological forecasting uncertainties inherent in the subject itself and imprecision in its concepts. The latter difficulty exists whenever words have to be used in a general or traditional sense due to the lack of an agreed-upon operational definition. One such word and concept is industry [1]. The object of this paper is to present an operational ... [Show full abstract] definition of “industry” for use in forecasting, R&D, or innovative contexts, and to show how predictive, rather than just analogue, statements can then be made about industry and industries.

Understanding technological substitution: Generic types, substitution dynamics, and influence strate...

December 1992 · Journal of Engineering and Technology Management

Clayton G. Smith

This article develops a framework for analyzing substitution threats posed by young industries to firms competing in more established industries. The discussion delineates three generic types of technological substitution-functional, product, and asset-and explores how long-term substitution patterns may be shaped by (1) the dominant design that emerges for the new product and, (2) improvements ... [Show full abstract] that occur in the traditional product. Asset substitution threats are especially serious for an incumbent firm since they can erode the value of the company's existing R&D/ manufacturing capabilities for competition in its principal markets. Possible strategies for influencing the type of substitution that ultimately occurs are considered. The strategies entail entering the young industry and attempting to shape the dominant design that emerges for the new product, or attempting to improve the traditional product along specific price-performance dimensions. The propositions suggested by the framework and the implications discussed should help to provide direction for future research.

One of the world’s most important industrial heritage sites, Ironbridge Gorge has been the focus of numerous archaeological investigations into the area’s early, innovative industrialization. The region’s important contribution to the development of institutional architecture and early social care has not been explored. An archaeological study of Madeley Union Workhouse exposes the complexity of ... [Show full abstract] the evolving ideologies surrounding pauperism in the late 19th century. This article broadens our understanding of Ironbridge by analysing the region’s response to poverty and the New Poor Law, and considers the impact of institutional architecture on pauper identity and experience.

This paper develops the theory of a U relation between seller concentration andR&D investment and integrates the new theory with the traditional expectation of an inverted-U relation. The paper illustrates the U relation, and the integrated U and inverted- U relations, for a single type of R&D performed in most industries, exploitingdifferences in the degree of structural competition across ...
