Leadership B. S. – Jefrey Pfeffer e a indústria da liderança
No full text“Developing leadership” is a constant search for professionals interested on acting in a more assertively in the organizations they perform their roles. Leadership BS is another endeavor by Jeffrey Pfeffer that makes us think over the tenets which the leadership industry, as the author refers to it, imposes to us daily. In a work based on the urgent need to incorporate evidence to a practice that could cause financial damage and other harmful consequences to the society, Pfeffer easily succeed on demonstrating why, for instance, some behaviors which are assumed as role models are nothing but fairy tales that only exist on classrooms and courses which efficacy is doubtful – if efficacy is understood as educating better leaders. The author challenges his readers to rethink the way they act, by understanding how psychological processes such as confirmation bias and self-deceiving reshape the wished format of leadership, which is taught, but nor practiced.“Desenvolver a capacidade de liderança” é uma constante na vida de profissionais interessados em atuar de forma mais assertiva nas organizações nas quais exercem suas atividades. Leadership BS é mais uma conquista de Jeffrey Pfeffer que nos obriga a repensar esses dogmas que a indústria da liderança, como assim a denomina o autor, nos empurram diariamente. Em um trabalho baseado na necessidade urgente de incorporar evidências a uma prática que pode causar prejuízos financeiros e diversos outros malefícios à sociedade, Pfeffer consegue demonstrar facilmente porque, por exemplo, alguns comportamentos tido como exemplares não passam de fábulas, que só existem em salas de aula e cursos de eficácia duvidosa – se, por eficácia, entender-se formar líderes melhores. O autor desafia seus leitores a repensarem a forma como atuam, entendendo que processos psicológicos como o viés de confirmação e o autoengano descaracterizam o formato desejado de liderança, aquele ensinado, mas não praticado.“Desenvolver a capacidade de liderança” é uma constante na vida de profissionais interessados em atuar de forma mais assertiva nas organizações nas quais exercem suas atividades.

No full textIstota koncepcji narodowego systemu innowacji
No full textThe article overviews recent developments in research into national innovation systems (NIS). The article shows the diverse ways in which the concept of the national innovation system is defined. Most of these definitions emphasize the importance of institutional conditions. The existing literature also provides a variety of interpretations when it comes to the components of a national innovation system. Generally speaking, there are two definitions of innovation systems, the author says, a narrow definition and a broad definition. The narrow definition presents an innovation system in terms of ties and collaboration between the main players in the innovation process – the science sector, public and private R&D institutions and large corporations. The broad definition, on the other hand, covers all the aspects of the economic structure and institutional setup that influence learning as well as “searching and exploring” – the production system, marketing system and the financial system. The article interprets the essence of these systems in terms of how they function. The author also shows their various aspects, typology as well as gaps and shortcomings in theoretical concepts. It highlights important differences between these systems. There are differences in how innovation systems are defined and how their components are interpreted, the author says. This is largely because national economies differ in terms of the structure of production and institutional systems. However, certain characteristics of national innovation systems are impervious to change and remain country-specific, according to Gorynia-Pfeffer. The author uses a number of research methods including literature review to compare innovation systems and highlight differences between them, including those related to terminology. The article emphasizes the importance of national innovation systems despite the growing popularity of ideas to establish regional, sector-specific or technological systems. Various researchers have asserted that the process of knowledge creation and innovation is a collective process that requires the cooperation of many actors. Innovation is the outcome of interaction of multiple actors and the result of synergistic and collective action rather than individual initiative, Gorynia-Pfeffer concludes

Applications of Augmented Reality In The Construction Industry
No full textA big driver in the construction industry, like most others, is productivity. Naturally, everyone would like to get the maximum possible output, after providing the minimum possible input. With the growing age of technology, we are beginning to see more technology efforts aimed at being used as a tool for construction and construction related activities. A few examples of such technologies include the use of drones, GPS mapping, and virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR).This paper is an exploration of current and historical applications of augmented reality, specifically how these technologies have been used and are currently being used to display information. The aim is to learn more about some of the limitations and potential opportunities of using AR to display information. Furthermore, what effects does AR support have on user performance and behavior. We will begin this process by learning the definition and origin of AR and other related technologies. We will then look at how AR technologies have specifically been implemented in the construction and similar industries.
This paper also provides a tutorial on the development of an AR application. An AR application was developed for two reasons. One, to serve as proof of concept for our research team and second to explore how having access to an AR application affects a user’s performance and behavior. The goal was to develop an application that could both display details and information that could be toggled on and off using virtual buttons, and also to generate a 3D model that could be viewed from any angle, allowing the user to understand the complete geometry of the 3D model. This exploration serves as the first of many endeavors the University’s research teamhopes to undertake in the field of virtual and augmented reality.</p

Artykuł wskazuje na różnorodność definicji takich koncepcji. Większość definicji podkreśla ważność uwarunkowań instytucjonalnych. Literatura przedmiotu dostarcza różnorodne interpretacje elementów narodowych systemów innowacji. Ogólnie ujmując, występują dwie interpretacje systemów innowacji (wąskie i szerokie ujęcie). Wąska interpretacja tego zjawiska przedstawia system innowacji jako powiązanie i współpracę głównych aktorów procesu innowacji: sektora nauki, publicznych i prywatnych instytutów naukowo-badawczych oraz dużych korporacji gospodarczych. Natomiast szerokie ujęcie koncepcji systemów innowacji łączy w sobie cały system współdziałających instytucji oddziaływającego na proces uczenia się, poszukiwania i wykorzystania innowacji. Pomimo, iż występują pewne różnice w interpretacji definicji oraz elementów systemów innowacji, należy podkreślić, iż gospodarki narodowe są odmienne pod względem struktury systemów produkcyjnych i instytucjonalnych. Dlatego też pewne cechy modeli narodowych systemów innowacji nie ulegną zmianie i pozostaną specyficzne dla danych gospodarek narodowych. W artykule została wykorzystana metoda analizy literatury przedmiotu. Przedstawienie metod porównawczych systemów innowacji, miało na celu nie tylko zasygnalizowanie różnic występujących w stosowanej w ich wypadku terminologii oraz treści pojęć, ale również wskazanie na zróżnicowanie ram i założeń, cechujących badania empiryczne nad narodowymi systemami innowacji. Pomimo coraz bardziej popularnych koncepcji regionalnego, sektorowego czy też technologicznego systemu innowacji, nadal podkreśla się duże znaczenie narodowego systemu innowacji. Ważną cechą procesów innowacji jest obecnie ich systemowy charakter. W tym kontekście podkreślany jest fakt, iż proces tworzenia zasobów wiedzy innowacji uwarunkowany jest współpracą wielu podmiotów

Torque vectoring control for different powertrain layouts of hybrid and electric vehicles
No full textIn recent years the need in energy saving in transportation raised the attention on alternative powertrain. The main competitor of ICE become electric motors. With this type of powertrain it is possible to drastically change the power train layout of a vehicle. It is in fact possible to equip the vehicle with more than one single motor. In this paper the author analyses the effectiveness of a control strategy for lateral dynamics applied on different powertrain layouts comparing the performance of each layout with respect to others and with respect to the passive equivalent vehicle
