The fintech revolution knocks out the financial problems in the energy efficiency sector: The case of EFFORCE
No full textIn recent years we have been living through two epochal transformations in business: the new approach to sustainability and the digital transformation. In this chapter, we analyze how these two phenomena intersect. To tackle this research question, we first discuss the opportunities and the limits of the Energy Efficiency Sector, specifically referring to the role of Green Investments and the challenge of the Energy Service Companies (ESCos). After, we introduce the leading technologies of the Digital-Financial Revolution and illustrate the main features that characterize the Fintech; especially highlighting the role of blockchain and tokenization in the Energy Efficiency Sector. Through the analysis of the EFFORCE case, we highlight how in practice Fintech and blockchain are supporting the crossing of certain limits of the energy efficiency sector and sustaining green investment
Towards Innovation 5.0: The Role of Corporate Entrepreneurship
No full textRecently, there has been a widespread recognition of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) as a means to facilitate innovation within firms. In this context, it is important to revisit the concept of innovation, through the lenses of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0, in order to understand the role of innovation in this context. More specifically, Innovation 5.0 can be defined as an approach to support the development of resilient, human-centered, sustainable, and digitally driven businesses. Despite the interest in this topic, there is a lack of recent literature that examines the relationship between CE and innovation processes, resulting in a fragmented body of knowl- edge. The primary objective of this paper is to contribute to the existing literature on Corporate Entrepreneurship by bridging the gap and focusing on the role of CE in innovation processes. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how CE impacts business innovation activities and to highlight how CE can support companies in developing innovations that align with the Industry 5.0 paradigm. To achieve our goals, we conduct a Bibliometric Analysis employing and Bibliographic Coupling analysis to find linkages between the CE and Innovation literature. More specifi- cally, an ad hoc protocol has been developed for this BA. The selection of articles occurred in three steps, with Scopus being the chosen database due to its extensive coverage of indexed publications. Two tools were used in this study: VOSviewer soft- ware for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks, with magazines, and researchers, based on common citations or paternity relationships and Bibliometrix, an R package for running extensive science mapping analysis which allows authors to perform analyses and graphs for sources, author, and document level and conceptual, intellectual, and social knowledge structures. The analysis highlights six discussion topics with theoretical e practical implications how CE activities can contribute to defining a new approach to innovation within firms, referred to as Innovation 5.0. These findings shed light on the ways in which CE can play a pivotal role in shaping innovative strategies and practices within organizations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
