Missing 20 syringes in the past 3 orders
The description says you get "Special Offer: 20 bonus syringes for total of 120 syringes per box" My wife pointed out that it did not look like 120 syringes (she's a nurse) and low and behold when I counted there were only 100. This is the 3rd order. Boxes all looked the same. They were full and there is no way to fit an extra 20 syringes in the box. Trying to find a phone number to contact someone but that is proving difficult as well. Does not seem to be a customer service link either. Not happy.

Favorites from the Archive
December 10, 2015 | by The Paris Review
Fact: nearly every one of the 214 back issues in our archive, going all the back to 1953, is available for purchase—and they make great last-minute gifts. We're recommending few of our favorites: the undisputed classics, the oddities, the sleeper hits.
A Writers at Work interview with Rebecca West (Q: "Are there any advantages at all in being a woman and a writer?" A: "None whatsoever."); fiction by Faulker and Gass; an epistolary squabble between Laura (Riding) Jackson, Martha Gellhorn, Stephen Spender, and the ghost of Yeats; work by thirty-eight poets, including Brainard, Sexton, Creeley, Schuyler, Baraka, and Swenson, and much more—there's nothing not to love in the double-size twenty-fifth-anniversary issue from Spring 1981. And, perhaps best of all (which is saying a lot), issue 79 contains "The Paris Review Sketchbook," a hundred-plus-page, mischievous oral history of the Review's first quarter century: "Literary magazine people never work. They spend hours on end playing pinball machines in cafés." —Nicole Rudick Read More »

Here at the Review, we don't run a "gift guide," as such—though we do have our special holiday offers. Even so, I'm here to solve all your holiday present questions. I'm out of ideas! You say. What do I do? Where do I go? How do I live? All these questions have a single answer.

Making Cameos
December 7, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
There was this shop in the neighborhood where I'd sometimes go. It was a good spot to find inexpensive gifts: small vases, lacquered boxes, a decorative dish where you could leave your spare change—noncommittal things just north of impersonal. I'd have gone there more, but for the saleslady.
She was sour. I mean, really puckered—the sort of acerbic person whose life needs an injection of sunshine from a Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm or an Anne of Green Gables or a Pollyanna. The requisite plucky orphan never seems to have come into her life. The first time I visited her shop, there were some other customers there. "Can I buy these individually?" one asked her.
"No, just as a set," she said curtly. After the shoppers left, she turned to me. "Can you believe what assholes people are?" she demanded balefully. "This is what I deal with all day." Read More »
Points of Sale
November 30, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
I used to get coffee at Pret a Manger almost every morning. It's a noisy and bustling shop in Union Square, the sort of high-impact environment that teaches people how to shout at one another without sounding unfriendly. ("No, I said I would not like cream cheese!" he yelled at the cashier, smiling with his eyes.) The staff there has been rigorously trained, and no matter how large the crowds are, you can expect to get in and out in just a few minutes. Obviously this is because you're gently shepherded through the stages of a scripted consumer experience, with the store's layout, color scheme, music, temperature, and copywriting all doing their part to vectorize you. Later I would learn that Pret, which has more than 350 locations worldwide, holds its employees to stringent standards of affective labor, demanding that they touch one another frequently and display signs of authentic happiness, but I was only intermittently aware of this when I visited regularly. Usually I emerged (my coffee cup snug in its cardboard sleeve, to keep my hand from burning) with the prideful sense that I'd mastered the form of the transaction, with its nested sets of thank yous and predetermined courtesies. I knew the questions the cashier would ask, always with a brittle rictus of corporate-mandate cheer, and I knew the exact order of the questions, and how to answer them. The only bumpiness came at the end of the script, after I'd declined a receipt and the cashier had said, "Thank you, have a great day." For a while, I responded, "Thanks—you, too," and the transaction ended there. But I discovered that a slight tweak to this response could advance the dialogue to a third, hidden stage. If I said "You, too—thanks," the cashier would say, "You're welcome. Come see us again."
I tried for several months to find some rejoinder to this, something to elicit some unscripted reaction. "Count on it!" Or, "Don't mind if I do!" Or, "You know I will, you see me here every morning, five days a week!" Even my best efforts got me nothing but canned laughter (very lifelike canned laughter, it must be said) or another perfunctory exchange of thank-yous. But I was after a human moment. I wanted to parry one rote cordiality against another until the cashier, at last, gave in and acknowledged the ruse. "Look at us," he'd whisper, "dragooned day after day into this hollow pas de deux of late capitalism." Then we'd go rob a bank together. Read More »

The Atlantic calls it "a dispatch from the front lines of literature." We call it the best stocking stuffer of 2015.

One Week Left to Order Our Commencement Gift Box
June 22, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
It's mid-June. Summer is in full swing. All the young people in your life have graduated; they're preparing to embark on new journeys, to begin new lives, and by now they've received lavish, thoughtful presents from everyone in the family. But not you. Every day, they're checking the mail, anxiously awaiting your gift. Where is your gift?
Maybe you've been holding out for something perfect, something that isn't cash, or booze, or an ill-fitting hand-me-down wool blazer the mere sight of which causes itching. The best gifts are practical and inspirational. That's why we've put together The Paris Review Commencement Gift Box. It includes a one-year subscription, a limited-edition Paris Review tote, and a trusty no. 2 Paris Review pencil. It also features two of the most inspiring issues from our archive—156 and 158—in which Hunter S. Thompson, Lorrie Moore, Rick Moody, George Saunders, and Dave Eggers discuss graduation, writing, and life beyond the classroom.
The boxes are available for only seven more days, through June 30. They make a great present for aspiring writers, who should, in the words of William Kennedy, "read the entire canon of literature that precedes them, back to the Greeks, up to the current issue of The Paris Review." You'll find all the details here—order now.

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Charles Chadwick was born in 1923 and is an English novelist. He was a British Council officer in Nigeria and then later worked in Kenya, Brazil, Canada and Poland. After retiring from service, he wrote many novels, which were all rejected by publishers.
But in 2004, he was offered a deal for his novel It's All Right Now. The book received positive reviews from major press outlets.
About This Biography
This biography was last updated on 02/05/2016. We try to keep BookBrowse's biographies both up to date and accurate, but with over 2500 lives to keep track of it's inevitable that some won't be as current or as complete as we would like. So, please help us - if the information about a particular author is out of date, inaccurate or simply very short, and you know of a more complete source, please let us know. Authors and those connected with authors: If you wish to make changes to your bio, send your complete biography as you would like it displayed so that we can replace the old with the new.
It's All Right Now is your first novel. How long did it take to write
and what was your process? Do you feel your work would be less rich or different
in some way if you had not maintained a full career?
Beginning in the early 70s, it was written over a period of about 30 years in four installments at about eight year intervals when I began wondering what might have happened to Ripple, what people he had met, how he might have changed. I had no choice but to follow a career. Unlike Ripple's, my life was mainly overseas. We have nothing in common in background or education, nor do any of the characters bear any resemblance to people I've known in real life. The connection between life and work is one I find it very difficult to make. Literature draws as much from literature itself as from life, I think.
The structure of the book is almost a non-structure -- undisciplined but highly effective. Can you discuss how you put this book together? How did you create this informal structure -- one with very little plot -- that perfectly suits the tone and voice of the narrator?
My aim was, very simply, truth to life. Lives do not have structures or plots -- these are mythic artifices. Ripple himself has...

Program Details
School Details
Two teachers realized the struggle for working professionals trying to juggle teaching and the simultaneous pursuit of a higher degree, therefore they took matters into their own hands. Bernie and Rita Turner founded Walden University in 1970 in order to provide an educational opportunity for working adults. The University immediately began to grow and by 1972, Walden conferred seventy degrees, including forty-six Doctorate degrees. Since Walden's inception, more than 55,000 students have completed their degree and this private for-profit University, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, currently enrolls over 48,000 students nationwide from over 140 countries. With a continued focus on the working professional, Walden's mission integrates "quality programs," designed and taught by highly qualified professionals, through "relevant, actionable" methods to establish "lifelong learning." In addition, faculty are selected based on "academic and industry credentials."
Walden University gained accreditation in 1990 by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Select programs at Walden are also accredited by the:
- Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)
- National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
- Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)
- Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)

Open innovation: State of the art and future perspectivesEelko K R E Huizingh
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 2-9
Open innovation has become one of the hottest topics in innovation management. This article intends to explore the limits in our understanding of the open innovation concept. In doing so, I address the questions of what (the content of open innovation), when (the context dependency) and how (the process). Open innovation is a rich concept, that can be implemented in many different ways. The context dependency of open innovation is one of the least understood topics; more research is needed on the internal and external environment characteristics affecting performance. The open innovation process relates to both the transition towards open innovation, and the various open innovation practices. As with any new concept, initial studies focus on successful and early adopters, are based on case studies, and descriptive. However, not all lessons learned from the early adopters may be applicable to following firms. Case study research increases our understanding of how things work and enables us to identify important phenomena. They should be followed by quantitative studies involving large samples to determine the relative importance of factors, to build path models to understand chains of effects, and to formally test for context dependencies. However, the evidence shows that open innovation has been a valuable concept for so many firms and in so many contexts, that it is on its way to find its final place in innovation management. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

The Open Innovation Journey: How firms dynamically implement the emerging innovation management paradigmDavide Chiaroni | Vittorio Chiesa | Federico Frattini
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 34-43
Open Innovation is currently one of the most debated topics in management literature. Nevertheless, there are still many unanswered questions in Open Innovation research. Especially two issues require further investigation: (i) understanding the relevance of Open Innovation beyond high-tech industries and (ii) studying how firms implement Open Innovation in practice. The paper addresses these topics by studying, through an in-depth case study, the journey that the Italian leading cement manufacturer, has undergone to move from a Closed to an Open Innovation paradigm. The paper shows that the Open Innovation paradigm is implemented along a three-phase process that comprises the stages of unfreezing, moving and institutionalising. Moreover, it emerges that the changes through which Open Innovation has been implemented involve four major dimensions, i.e. networks, organisational structures, evaluation processes and knowledge management systems. They should be therefore conceived as the managerial and organisational levers an innovating firm can act upon to streamline its journey toward Open Innovation. Theoretical and managerial implications of using these levers for implementing Open Innovation are discussed at length. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Organisational modes for Open Innovation in the bio-pharmaceutical industry: An exploratory analysisMattia Bianchi | Alberto Cavaliere | Davide Chiaroni | Federico Frattini | Vittorio Chiesa
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 22-33
This paper investigates the adoption of Open Innovation in the bio-pharmaceutical industry, studying through which organisational modes it is put into practice and how these modes are interwoven with the different phases of drug discovery and development process. Two rounds of interviews with industry experts were carried out to develop a model describing the adoption of Open Innovation by bio-pharmaceutical companies. This framework was then applied to an extensive and longitudinal empirical basis, which includes data about the adoption of Open Innovation by the top 20 worldwide industry players, in the time period 20002007. The paper provides a thorough discussion of how bio-pharmaceutical firms have used different organisational modes (i.e. licensing agreements, non-equity alliance, purchase and supply of technical and scientific services) to enter into relationship with different types of partners (i.e. large pharmaceutical companies, product biotech firms, platform biotech firms and universities) with the aim to acquire (Inbound Open Innovation) or commercially exploit (Outbound Open Innovation) technologies and knowledge. The implications of the study for Open Innovation research and possible avenues for future investigation are discussed at length in the paper. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Co-operation and co-opetition as open innovation practices in the service sector: Which influence on innovation novelty?Anne Laure Mention
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 44-53
This study aims to identify the influence of co-operation practices and the use of internal and external information sources on the propensity of firms to introduce new to the market innovations in the service sector. Data come from the 4th Community Innovation Survey, which covers the years 20022004. A logistic regression model is applied with the degree of novelty of good/service innovation as dependent variable. The analysis of the parameter estimates shows that firms provided with information from market sources and from internal sources as well as firms involved in science-based collaboration for their product innovations are more likely to introduce new to the market innovations, whereas information coming from competitors seems to have a negative influence on the degree of novelty of innovation. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Building absorptive capacity to organise inbound open innovation in traditional industriesAndr Spithoven | Bart Clarysse | Mirjam Knockaert
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 10-21
The discussion on open innovation suggests that the ability to absorb external knowledge has become a major driver for competition. For R&D intensive large firms, the concept of open innovation in relation to absorptive capacity is relatively well understood. Little attention has; however, been paid to how both small firms and firms, which operate in traditional sectors, engage in open innovation activities. The latter two categories of firms often dispose of no, or at most a relatively low level of, absorptive capacity. Open innovation has two faces. In the case of inbound open innovation, companies screen their environment to search for technology and knowledge and do not exclusively rely on in-house R&D. A key pre-condition is that firms dispose of "absorptive capacity" to internalise external knowledge. SMEs and firms in traditional industries might need assistance in building absorptive capacity. This paper focuses on the role of collective research centres in building absorptive capacity at the inter-organisational level. In order to do so, primary data was collected through interviews with CEOs of these technology intermediaries and their member firms and analysed in combination with secondary data. The technology intermediaries discussed are created to help firms to take advantage of technological developments. The paper demonstrates that the openness of the innovation process forces firms lacking absorptive capacity to search for alternative ways to engage in inbound open innovation. The paper highlights the multiple activities of which absorptive capacity in intermediaries is made up; defines the concept of absorptive capacity as a pre-condition to open innovation; and demonstrates how firms lacking absorptive capacity collectively cope with distributed knowledge and innovation. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

The influence of scope, depth, and orientation of external technology sources on the innovative performance of Chinese firmsJin Chen | Yufen Chen | Wim Vanhaverbeke
Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2011, Pages 362-373
It is commonly accepted nowadays that external knowledge sources are important for firms innovative performance. However, it is still not clear, what dimensions of firms external knowledge search strategy are crucial in determining their innovation success and whether these search strategies are contingent on different innovation modes. In this study, we analyse how the innovative performance is affected by the scope, depth, and orientation of firms external search strategies. We apply this analysis to firms using STI (science, technology and innovation) and DUI (doing, using and interacting) innovation modes. Based on a survey among firms in China, we find that greater scope and depth of openness for both innovation modes improves innovative performance indicating that open innovation is also relevant beyond science and technology based innovation. Furthermore, we find that decreasing returns in external search strategies, suggested by Laursen and Salter (2006), are not always present and are contingent on the innovation modes. Next, we find that the type of external partners (we label it orientation of openness) is crucial in explaining innovative performance and that firms using DUI or STI innovation modes have different sets of relevant innovation partners. This shows that the orientation of openness is an important dimension - in addition to the scope and depth of openness. As respondents are located in China, this study provides evidence that open innovation is also relevant in developing countries. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The entrepreneurial university: Examining the underlying academic tensionsKevin Philpott | Lawrence Dooley | Caroline Oreilly | Gary Lupton
Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 161-170
With increasing pressure on universities to play a role in the national innovation process, this exploratory case study investigates how the concept of the entrepreneurial university (Etzkowitz et al., 2000) is manifesting itself within the context of a comprehensive European university setting. Semi-structured interviews with key professors spanning the diverse disciplines of the university were conducted to uncover attitudes towards the entrepreneurial third mission and the underlying complexities of developing a unified entrepreneurial character within the institution. The case study identifies the emergence of an increasing schizophrenic divide between disciplines within the university. This attitudinal split has the potential to cause widespread disharmony amongst the academic community and impede progress towards achievement of the third mission. The case findings reveal that a strong top-down push towards the ideal of the entrepreneurial university would actually reduce overall entrepreneurial activity across the university. This case study finds support for Burgelmans (1983) understanding of the entrepreneurial process, and identifies a number of key barriers to realising the entrepreneurial ideal. Ultimately, the case study calls into question the assertion of Etzkowitz et al. (2000) that the concept of the entrepreneurial university is a global phenomenon with an isomorphic development path. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The impact of technological relatedness, prior ties, and geographical distance on university-industry collaborations: A joint-patent analysisAntonio Messeni Petruzzelli
Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 309-319
Empirical studies on R&D collaborations between universities and firms have mainly centered their attention on universities and firms characteristics that favor the establishment of collaborative agreements. In this paper, I extend the current research framework investigating the role that specific technological and relational attributes may play on the relevance of such collaborations. Specifically, I focus on the effects exerted by three relevant factors, namely technological relatedness, prior collaboration ties, and geographical distance, on universityindustry joint innovation value. I develop testable hypotheses about their impact on the innovative performance of R&D universityindustry collaborations, and test them on a sample of 796 universityindustry joint patents, developed by 33 universities located in 12 different European countries. Our results suggest that partners technological relatedness has an inverted U-shaped relationship with innovation value. In addition, prior ties and geographical distance between universities and firms are both positively related to the achievement of higher innovative outcomes. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Managing knowledge assets under conditions of radical change: The case of the pharmaceutical industryMinna Allarakhia | Steven Walsh
Volume 31, Issues 2-3, February 2011, Pages 105-117
There is no industry where firms link their search for competitive advantage more closely to intellectual property (IP) than those in the pharmaceutical industry. Yet a major paradigm change is occurring in this industry. New technological developments are increasingly being driven by advances in biology, nanotechnology, and the computational sciences. In this paper, we investigate how this radical change in the investigation, discovery, and manufacture of pharmaceuticals has affected intellectual property management practices. Large pharmaceutical firms, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and public institutional knowledge generators have recently started to respond by developing new IP management techniques born from the use of consortia to manage the complexities of knowledge generation. Hence, we leverage innovation and knowledge management literature, and use the innovation journey and case study methodologies to investigate both traditional pharmaceutical IP practices as well as emerging strategies. We distil from this effort an IP modelthe transition point modeldesigned to assist firms to effectively manage both knowledge assets and the associated intellectual property in the current paradigm. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

How do large multinational companies implement open innovation?Letizia Mortara | Tim Minshall
Volume 31, Issues 10-11, October 2011, Pages 586-597
This paper addresses a major gap in reported research on open innovation (OI): how do companies implement open innovation? To answer this question a sample of 43 cross-sector firms were reviewed for their OI implementation approaches. The study analyzed how firms moved from practising closed to open innovation, classifying the adoption path according to the impetus for the adoption of the OI paradigm and the coordination of the OI implementation. The way firms adopted OI was found to vary according to (1) their innovation requirements, (2) the timing of the implementation and (3) their organizational culture. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Some immediate but negative effects of openness on product development performanceMette Praest Knudsen | Thomas Bøtker Mortensen
Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 54-64
This paper charts an unnoticed theme in the current debate on open innovation, namely the foundational question whether increasing openness is beneficial? The paper approaches this question by conceptualising the degree of 'openness' and analyses the importance of increasing degrees of openness for NPD performance. Inter-organizational relationships in New Product Development lay the foundation for operationalising openness because these represent important sources of ideas and knowledge in purposive inbound open innovation. This exploratory paper finds that on immediate NPD performance measures the single firm strategy is performing better than the collaborative strategy. However, we also find that the use of internal and external relationships is highly correlated and that these interact with each other. Finally, with increasing degrees of openness the product development projects are slower than the norm in the industry, slower than what is usual for the firm's projects and had higher cost than the norm in the industry and the firm's usual projects. These results offer a more critical perspective on openness and NPD performance than the literature on the open innovation paradigm suggests. The paper discusses these results and offers some challenges for management and research of open innovation. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Customer integration within service development - A review of methods and an analysis of insitu and exsitu contributionsBo Edvardsson | Per Kristensson | Peter Magnusson | Erik Sundström
Volume 32, Issues 7-8, July 2012, Pages 419-429
This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of how to integrate customers within service development by assessing different methods of obtaining use information. The article reviews and classifies methods for customer integration and it also presents a new framework that suggests four modes of customer integration in which data is classified either as insitu (data captured in a customers use situation) or exsitu (data captured outside the use situation) and as either incontext or excontext. Context is defined as a resource constellation that is available for customers to enable value co-creation. Accordingly, incontext refers to methods in which the customer is in the actual use context and has access to various resources, while excontext refers to a situation in which the customer is outside the use context and, therefore, has no direct access to the resources. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

How can organizations use wikis for innovation?Craig Standing | Sarah Kiniti
Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 287-295
Wikis were first developed over 15 years ago. Research has shown that organizational or corporate wikis are sustainable and can be beneficial to organizations particularly in improving work processes, collaboration and knowledge management. However, there has been little research done to show how organizations can use wikis to support innovation processes. To bridge this gap, this paper explores how wikis can be used in different stages of innovation. We review existing literature as well as analyze case studies of wikis deployed in four organizations in order to highlight how wikis can be used to address challenges of knowledge management and collaboration in different stages of innovation from idea generation to commercialization. In particular, we propose a model that explains how wikis require a clear purpose for their use, a culture of collaboration, and integration within a formal innovation process.

The evolution of Business incubators: Comparing demand and supply of business incubation services across different incubator generationsJohan Bruneel | Tiago Ratinho | Bart Clarysse | Aard Groen
Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2012, Pages 110-121
Business incubators (BIs) have been established around the world to stimulate new business creation. Whilst it is accepted that incubation models have evolved, little is known about whether existing incubators have adjusted their value proposition to incorporate recent incubation paradigms or have simply remained operating as originally founded. We present data collected within seven BIs and their tenants regarding service provision and selection criteria. Our findings show that whilst BIs of all generations offer similar support services, tenants in older generation BIs make less use of the BIs service portfolio. We suggest this is a consequence of slack selection criteria and the absence of clearly defined exit policies. These results imply that older generation BIs should update their service portfolio while simultaneously imposing stricter selection criteria and introducing exit policies. Finally, we discuss the wider implications this raises for BIs managers, prospective tenants and policy makers. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The alliance innovation performance of R&D alliances - The absorptive capacity perspectiveChinho Lin | Ya Jung Wu | Chiachi Chang | Weihan Wang | Cheng Yu Lee
Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2012, Pages 282-292
In this work we explore the role of interfirm R&D alliances as a vital mechanism for creating new technological knowledge. Drawing on the absorptive capacity perspective, we argue that firms with a high level of such capacity seem to benefit more from their alliances. Specifically, three indicators of technology strategy relevant to absorptive capacity, including proportion of R&D alliances in an alliance portfolio, technological distance, and R&D intensity are explored to examine their impacts on innovation performance. Using alliance data from the Securities Data Company (SDC), patent data from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), firm data from S&P COMPUSTAT, and co-patents granted as a proxy for the alliance innovation performance, these results show that while alliance networks potentially provide a firm with access to various benefits that can help in creating new technologies, R&D alliances in particular are more suitable than other types of partnerships to achieve this aim. Furthermore, given that information transfer and learning are key benefits of R&D alliances, moderate technological distance is needed if such alliances are to be successful. In particular, the innovation performance peaks at the moderate level of technological distance with alliance partners when this interacts with the proportion of R&D alliances in a firms alliance portfolio. Finally, R&D alliances should be regarded as a complement to rather than a substitute for a firms internal R&D. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Validation of an instrument to measure absorptive capacityMaría Magdalena Jiménez-Barrionuevo | Víctor J. García-Morales | Luis Miguel Molina
Volume 31, Issues 5-6, May 2011, Pages 190-202
Absorptive capacity is an ability firms should develop if they wish to adapt to changes in an increasingly competitive and changing environment and to achieve and sustain competitive advantage. Despite the increase in literature on absorptive capacity, some ambiguity remains in determining the dimensions that shape the construct. Thus, no measurement instrument can be adapted to these dimensions. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the literature on absorptive capacity by using a resource-based view to present an alternative measurement instrument for absorptive capacity. This instrument differentiates between the phases of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation of knowledge, as well as between the two dimensions of absorptive capacity (potential and realized), to reduce the problem of measuring and identifying the dimensions that shape this important construct. The instrument's validity and reliability are guaranteed and have been tested using data from 168 Spanish organizations. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A review of TRIZ, and its benefits and challenges in practiceImoh M. Ilevbare | David Probert | Robert Phaal
Volume 33, Issues 2-3, February 2013, Pages 30-37
TRIZ (the theory of inventive problem solving) has been promoted by several enthusiasts as a systematic methodology or toolkit that provides a logical approach to developing creativity for innovation and inventive problem solving. The methodology, which emerged from Russia in the 1960s, has spread to over 35 countries across the world. It is now being taught in several universities and it has been applied by a number of global organisations who have found it particularly useful for spurring new product development. However, while its popularity and attractiveness appear to be on a steady increase, there are practical issues which make the use of TRIZ in practice particularly challenging. These practical difficulties have largely been neglected by TRIZ literature. This paper takes a step away from conventional TRIZ literature, by exploring not just the benefits associated with TRIZ knowledge, but the challenges associated with its acquisition and application based on practical experience. Through a survey, first-hand information is collected from people who have tried (successfully and unsuccessfully) to understand and apply the methodology. The challenges recorded cut across a number of issues, ranging from the complex nature of the methodology to underlying organisational and cultural issues which hinder its understanding and application. Another contribution of this paper, potentially useful for TRIZ beginners, is the indication of what tools among the several contained in the TRIZ toolkit would be most useful to learn first, based on their observed degree of usage by the survey respondents. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Service innovation in manufacturing firms: Evidence from SpainLluís Santamaría | María Jesús Nieto | Ian Miles
Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2012, Pages 144-155
The ways in which manufacturing firms come to offer services to customers servitisation or servicisation are attracting considerable attention. This paper examines an innovation survey of Spanish firms in order to investigate one aspect of this phenomenon: the introduction of new or improved services by manufacturers. Specifically, the paper analyses the determinants of service innovations in manufacturers and determines whether they differ from those of product or process innovations in these same firms. The study finds that almost 20 percent of the firms in the sample have introduced such services in the recent past and that important differences exist between service and product (goods) innovations, with service innovations being particularly related to human resource development and closer links to customers. This suggests that service innovation by manufacturers has much in common with the innovation patterns detected in service sector firms. Intriguing differences across manufacturing sectors are also noted, with the lowest- and highest-tech sectors reporting more service innovations than the medium-tech sectors. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Mapping the benefits and costs associated with process innovation: The case of RFID adoptionRaluca Bunduchi | Clara Weisshaar | Alison U. Smart
Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2011, Pages 505-521
The successful implementation of any innovation requires an understanding of its benefits and costs. This study examines the changes in the magnitude of costs and benefits associated with technology process innovation adoption as the innovation diffuses across different industries. Using RFID as an exemplar technology, the study shows that the magnitude of benefits and costs associated with technological process innovation adoption within different industries varies as technology diffuses beyond early adopters to the early majority. During the early stages of technology evolution, the development cost, the cost of capital, ethical costs and simple direct implementation costs (in the form of the cost of tags) predominate. As a dominant design emerges the profile of costs changes with the emphasis on initiation costs, more holistic direct implementation costs and indirect implementation costs. A similar change in the emphasis of benefits is observed, with a shift from direct to indirect benefits being noticeable as the technology moves from early adopters to early majority adopters. Our findings help to explain the difficulties in consistently measuring innovation outcomes observed in the innovation implementation literature, and emphasize the need to take into consideration the stage of technology development as a significant factor that influences the realised outcomes from innovation implementation. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Influence of government R&D support and inter-firm collaborations on innovation in Korean biotechnology SMEsKyung Nam Kang | Hayoung Park
Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 68-78
Although the development of biotechnology industry has been a national agenda, particularly in developing countries, few studies address factors that influence innovation performance in countries with unfavorable environments for biotechnology development. This paper examines the effects of inter-firm collaborations as well as the direct and indirect effects of government R&D support on innovation outputs. It is predicated on the national innovation system approach and the resource-based view. Data from 2005 through 2007 were obtained from a survey of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in biotechnology in South Korea. Findings show that upstream partnerships were significantly associated with the innovation output of biotechnology SMEs, and international linkages were much stronger than domestic connections. The government support through project funding directly and indirectly affects firms innovation by stimulating internal R&D and domestic upstream and downstream collaborations. The study findings imply the importance of governmental R&D funding and networking with foreign universities and research institutions as well as downstream partners. These Korea specific findings seem particularly relevant for countries where private investment firms are not well developed and knowledge bases and markets lag behind leading nations. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Process-based vs. product-based innovation: Value creation by nanotech venturesElicia Maine | Sarah Lubik | Elizabeth Garnsey
Volume 32, Issues 3-4, March 2012, Pages 179-192
Nanotechnology is frequently heralded as the next wave of technological advance, poised to enable radical innovation across many industries. But as yet little is known about how firms will ultimately create that value. We do know that nanotechnology is based on process innovation, a category of innovation less well understood than product innovation. And we know that new ventures are an important vehicle for commercializing radical technology. As new ventures seek to commercialize nanotechnology, they evolve value creation strategies to better link fundamental scientific advance with the creation of value for users and investors. This paper asks How do the successful value creation strategies of technology ventures differ in process vs. product-based innovation? An investigation of 12 ventures representing the extremes of value creation through process-based (nanotech) and product-based (fuel cell) innovation reveals significant differences in their value creation challenges, in the mechanisms of technologymarket matching and alliance building, and in their levels of experimentation. Ventures exploiting process innovation faced greater uncertainty in their value chain positioning, market breadth, customization, and the changes required of their customers in contrast to product-based ventures. Our evidence shows that nanotechnology ventures benefit from prioritizing technologymarket matching, alliance building and experimenting with technologies in new value networks. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Exploitation- and exploration-based innovations: The role of knowledge in inter-firm relationships with distributorsMiguel Hernández-Espallardo | Manuel Sánchez-Pérez | Cristina Segovia-López
Volume 31, Issues 5-6, May 2011, Pages 203-215
Learning capacity is a critical factor for a firm's innovation and competitiveness. This study explores the issue of how knowledge in inter-firm relationships with distributors influences manufacturers' exploitation- and exploration-based innovations and performance. The empirical model examines the effect of three different types of knowledge-related issues in inter-firm relationships: (i) the acquisition of substantial knowledge (about products, technology, or markets) from distributors; (ii) the learning about collaborating with each distributor as the relationship evolves; and (iii) the general firm's knowledge about managing distributors. A model of learning - innovation - performance is developed and tested in a sample of 201 firms in the food and beverages sector. The results reveal that: (i) knowledge about managing distributors promotes continuous learning from them; (ii) learning to collaborate is critical, as it favours knowledge acquisition and both types of innovations (exploitation- and exploration-based); (iii) learning from distributors weakens firms' tendency to stress one type of innovation strategy over another; and (iv) knowledge in inter-firm relationships with distributors affects performance in a completely mediated way, that is, through innovation. Theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed in the conclusion of the paper. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The future of nanotechnologiesVincent Mangematin | Steve Walsh
Volume 32, Issues 3-4, March 2012, Pages 157-160
Nanotechnology is the first major worldwide research initiative of the 21st century. Nanotechnologies are applied to cross industrial problems and are a general purpose technology that acts as both a basis for technology solutions or at the convergence of other enabling technologies, like biotechnologies, computational sciences, physical sciences, communication technologies, cognitive sciences, social psychology and other social sciences. Nanotechnologies are pervasive solution vectors in our economic environment. It is necessary to develop new methods to assess nanotechnologies development to better understand nanotechnology based innovation. As general purpose and enabling technologies, nanotechnologies reveal commercialization processes, from start-ups to large firms in collaboration with public sector research, and which lead to changing patterns of industrial organization which influence public policy initiatives to foster their development. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

How do established firms improve radical innovation performance? the organizational capabilities viewYuan Chieh Chang | Huo Tsan Chang | Hui Ru Chi | Ming Huei Chen | Li Ling Deng
Volume 32, Issues 7-8, July 2012, Pages 441-451
The paper examines organizational capabilities for improving performance, with respect to radical innovation (RI), in established firms. These organizational capabilities are (1) openness capability, (2) autonomy capability, (3) integration capability and (4) experimentation capability. The paper proposes four research hypotheses, to examine the relationship between four types of organizational capabilities and radical innovation performance. A dataset of 112 corporate RI-specific capabilities and innovation performance data, from the top 500 Taiwanese manufacturing firms, is collected via a postal questionnaire survey. The multiple regression results reveal a positive relationship between organizational capabilities and radical innovation performance. Finally, some managerial recommendations, to develop radical innovation capabilities, are provided. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The role of service innovation in the market orientation - New service performance linkageColin C. Cheng | Dennis Krumwiede
Volume 32, Issues 7-8, July 2012, Pages 487-497
While most academics generally agree that innovation plays the mediating role between market orientation and new product/service performance, relatively little research has examined how each component of market orientation contributes to new service performance through various types of service innovation. Based on a survey of 235 managers and taking a component-wise approach, this study finds that customer orientation spurs incremental service innovation while inter-functional coordination spurs radical service innovation, both of which, in turn, enhance new service performance. A surprise finding shows that the impact of competitor orientation on new service performance is fully mediated by radical service innovation. The results of this study should help market oriented managers create and evaluate service innovation. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Founded in 1875 in Brockton, Massachusetts by William Stacy and Henry Adams as the Stacy Adams Shoe Company, this brand has impressed its customers with the quality of its footwear for over 125 years. In addition to their shoe collections for men and boys, the company offers a variety of casual clothing, dress shirts and Stacy Adams suits as well as fine leather belts and wallets, silk ties, slippers and loungewear, and other accessories. The brand has been a part of Weyco Group since 1971, a company which also handles the Florsheim, Nunn Bush and Umi footwear brands.
Beginning in the late 1980s, this line of fashion footwear began adopting a whimsical retro-style borrowed from styles popular in the 1920s through 1940s. From this, a popular line of Stacy Adams wingtips, oxfords and spats were developed and earned rapid popularity among swing dancers and those seeking a different personal fashion statement. SAO by Stacy Adams footwear is a partial offshoot of the main brand, but also a direct descendant of Weyco's own product lines. Today the brand covers a wide range of styles, from the SAO urban hip-hop approach, to the simple casual Stacy Adams jeans and shorts, to the retro Zoot styling of Stacy Adams dress shirts and suits.

Employers in places with high unemployment won't be allowed to apply for temporary foreign workers in the lowest wage and skill groups in the accommodation, food service and retail sectors.
That's one of the changes to the controversial program announced Friday by the Conservative government.
A cap is also being placed on the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers an employer can hire at each worksite: 30 per cent of a worksite's employees starting immediately, dropping to 10 per cent by July 2016.
Employers who are currently under the cap will not be allowed to hire more temporary foreign workers in order to reach the limit.
The cap will not apply to employers with fewer than 10 workers or to short-term, non-renewable positions.
Employers will also be required have to re-apply every year for approval to hire low-wage temporary foreign workers, instead of every two years. The fee to apply for approval, called a labour market impact assessment, is being increased to $1,000 from $275.
The government also says it will post the number of temporary foreign workers approved every quarter, along with the names of companies that get the green light to hire them.
Employers who hire temporary foreign workers must promise not to lay off any Canadian workers or cut their hours, and they must tell the government how many Canadians applied and were interviewed for jobs, along with why they were not hired.
The program will now be based on provincial wage levels instead of the government's national occupational classifications. Low wages are defined as anything below the provincial median; high wages are anything above it.
The amount of time a low-wage temporary foreign worker can work in Canada is being reduced to a cumulative total of two years from four years.
The government is also lifting its freeze on hiring temporary foreign workers in the food-services sector.

Just an interesting set of stats:
Ray Leonard won 36 fights between 1977 and 1989.
Roberto Duran won 103 fights between 1968 and 2000!!!!
Duran certainly showed more longevity!
And remember that Duran was a pro for 8 years before Ray even won the Olympic gold and he still beat him in their first match which is impressive.
If Roberto was born ten years later and was a natural welterweight rather than lightweight I'd fancy that the fights with Hagler, Leonard and Hearns may have gone differently in the 80s....

Not counting the last two fights, which were disastrous, Leonard basically fought over 12 years, during which he had breaks of 3 years, 2 years 3 months and 19 months.
Duran had three times as many fights over 5 decades.
Without the eye and hand problems, Leonard probably would have outdone Duran. But it is what it is.
