No full textInnovation und Unternehmertum sind die treibenden Kräfte einer leistungsfähigen und wachstumsstarken Volkswirtschaft. Nur wenn Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft gemeinsam praxisorientierte Lösungen entwickeln, bleibt die Innovationsfähigkeit als einer der wichtigsten unternehmerischen Erfolgsfaktoren erhalten. Bei allen Formen von Innovationen, sei es die inkrementelle Verbesserung oder der radikale Durchbruch, die neue Technologie oder das neue Geschäftsmodell, die Anregung oder die Umsetzung von Innovation, spielt Information eine zentrale Rolle.Aus der systemischen Perspektive der Kybernetik ist jedoch Information nicht allein als Inputfaktor für Innovation zu begreifen, sondern bilden Innovation und Information zwei untrennbar verbundene Grundlagen wirtschaftlichen Erfolgs, die sich gegenseitig bedingen.Die im Tagungsband versammelten Beiträge der Jahrestagung "Innovation und Information" der Gesellschaft für Wirtschafts- und Sozialkybernetik (GWS) reflektieren das facettenreiche Tagungsprogramm und zeigen damit das breite Spektrum des Zusammenwirkens von Innovation und Information auf

Purpose
Literature is unanimous about the effects of functional diversity in new product development teams. This paper uses simulation modeling to investigate the contradictory and dynamic effects of functional team diversity on innovation revealed by empirical literature. This paper aims to start a discussion on this dynamic perspective of team diversity.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents a systemic approach toward investigating the contradictory and dynamic effects of functional team diversity on innovation by creating a simplified System Dynamics model of functional diversity in new product development teams.
Findings
Although the simulation model is highly simplified, it can integrate the contradictory results of empirical data and the dynamic component of teamwork. Therefore, it offers a new approach to investigating the effects of functional diversity on team innovation.
Research limitations/implications
The model is highly simplified and exemplary. No actual data are included, thus limiting the results as fully theoretical.
Originality/value
Empirical studies often analyze the effects of functional diversity on innovation in new product development teams. However, empirical data are unclear regarding the nature of the effects of functional diversity on innovation. Therefore, functional diversity is chosen for the simulation model as being the most controversially discussed diversity attribute. By applying a simulation model to the problem and adding a dynamic component to teamwork, we are contributing to the explanation for the contradictory findings in literature.

Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
