Progress in the development of small electric and hybrid aircraft promises business opportunities for thin-haul air mobility services. In order to develop demand-oriented flight plan scenarios for Germany, this paper presents a model to estimate the marked volume of thin-haul air mobility. To quantify the potential demand, our model includes the steps of trip generation, trip distribution and mode choice. Trip generation and distribution takes place between 412 geographic subdivisions of Germany and is based on calibrated traffic forecast data for the year 2030. For the first time the five relevant modes of transport, namely: car, intercity train, intercity bus, commercial aircraft and thin-haul air mobility services, have been included in one model. The step of choosing the transport mode is implemented via a generalized cost approach, taking into account travel costs and travel time. Additionally, route modeling of all transport modes is enhanced by real market data using large-scale data readouts of web interfaces. As primary result we predict a market share of 6 % or 81 million trips per year for thin-haul air mobility services. The demand concentrates on a small number of airports: 30 % of the trips are estimated to be between only 20 airports. Hubs and main routes are identified to offer the potential for scheduled air services.

Interest in responsible research and innovation (RRI) has been increased in recent years in the academic, practical and policy domains. Although initially introduced in Europe and the US, in the subsequent development, attention to RRI grows in another context. The aim of this paper is to provide a preliminary review of the current status of responsible research and innovation (RRI) research, focusing on emerging economy's context. Systematic review method is used for this purpose. The current research on RRI in emerging economies has emerged since 2013, involving multi-disciplinary researchers and has been published in journals from various disciplines. The most discussed dimension is ‘inclusion’ through public engagement in different phase of research and innovation. The dimension of ‘anticipation’ that plays an important role in the early phase of research and innovation has not been much discussed compared to other dimensions.

Smart products are increasingly penetrating the market. They extend cyber-physical systems with Internet-based services and thus enable customer-specific adaptations and updates of products in the field. For industrial companies, smart product offering bear the potential to expand their product portfolios and increase their sales. In this article, the results of a survey among German engineers are presented that evaluated the actual state of adoption and future expectations regarding smart products in German industrial companies. The results show that the majority of German companies have recognized the potentials of smart products and also introduced such offerings in their portfolio. In this context, it is also expected that the product-related usage data will lead to a more individual communication with the customer. On the other hand, there is a high degree of uncertainty among companies regarding the adaptation of new business models, cooperation with an increasing number of partners, data management and the necessary technological infrastructure. These uncertainties can result in companies leaving potentials unexploited and opening up opportunities for new market participants. In summary, there seems to be a remaining gap between the willingness to abandon traditional business models and the expectations and strategies for future value creation.

The so-called fourth industrial revolution has brought different technologies to aid in the launching of new products, automation of manufacturing process and designing of intelligent manufacturing systems to monitor and control activities inside the factories. One recurrent challenge of the industrial sector is to evaluate multiple scenarios to make decisions at different levels of the business model. Innovative technologies and tools are used to provide solutions to existing gaps in current manufacturing systems. The evaluation of scenarios is used to manage risks, costs, prepare for upcoming work and forecast demand. Thus, the use of Digital Twin (DT) has proven its value covering the simulation and creation of virtual environments without the physical investment needed. With emergent technologies comes to a great responsibility for institutes to prepare undergraduate students in the development of novel skills, thus, technologies should be adapted and included into the teaching-learning process to aid the adoption from educational to the industrial sector. In this work, it is shown how the adoption of DT has been used to teach industrial concepts such as the automation pyramid, the programming of programmable logic controllers PLC and the exchange of information through industrial networks along with the concepts that constitute digital twins, such as digital master, digital shadow and modelling through system dynamics. Besides, the general vision of how digitalization is understood aligned to the vision of education 4.0 and applied to teach a tool to reduce the time for decision making into the industrial sector.

How to strengthen the resilience of urban areas and megacities? How to reduce the carbon footprint in a sustainable way? An answer to the two questions is the use of latest technologies for implementing integrated waste to energy systems. In order to manage green systems the concept Green Integrated Management & Leadership (Acronym: Green IMLead®) is offered in this article. The concept was tested and evaluated in international waste management projects and consists of the seven fields: manager, individual, information, innovation & technology, processes, agility and finance. The new concept is connecting regional and intercultural aspects, management & leadership and system integration of different green technologies. In the investigated green projects following technologies were combined: waste collection, pre-treatment, recycling/upcycling of solid materials (e.g. plastics, wood, metal, paper), and the production of biomethane and fertilizer out of biomass. It was found that the key for success factors for such green systems are social and regional integration, trained people for running such complex processes and successful technology transfer.

eHealth describes any healthcare innovation that makes use of information and communication technology. The implementation of eHealth into developing countries has positive impacts on their health systems. There are numerous healthcare benefits associated with eHealth innovations, such as an increase in equity, efficiency and timeliness. However, without good implementation and technology transfer practices these benefits do not materialize or are temporary. In this paper, the barriers and facilitators to successfully and sustainably implementing an eHealth innovation into a developing country's health system are investigated. Specifically, this paper investigates the implementation of an audiology eHealth innovation into a resource-constrained setting in South Africa. The investigation was conducted using a case study and was structured according to the concepts from the Conceptual Health Innovation System framework (institutions, knowledge, relations and networks, actors, resources and innovation). The barriers and facilitators identified during the investigation were analysed and categorized into the appropriate health level: community, healthcare provider, district or national level; and recommendations for future eHealth implementation programs were discussed. This paper aims to inform stakeholders who are involved with eHealth development and implementation in developing countries on the factors that should be considered to ensure success and sustainability when implementing eHealth. This study contributes to the knowledge on health innovation management and promotes improved access to eHealth.

Similar to the case of biotechnology industry, companies providing devices in the biomedicine industry face several challenges, and to stand out from competitors need to know how to get to the right customer. Potential customers (i.e., individuals and organizations) may choose to adopt or reject an innovative product and will later confirm that decision or not. Such decision is of utmost importance to the success of innovative products and, therefore, of the company that provides them. The aim of this study is to understand how perceptions formed about a biomedical product can influence its adoption intention and behavior and, hereafter, influence the decision of other potential adopters. Findings from a multiple case study provide a clear definition of the adoption process of a specific biomedical product, combining two existing theories - the Diffusion of Innovations Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model - and including the feedback created by interactions between current users of the product and potential users, to understand what influences potential adopters' decisions.

This paper deals with the development of a generic process model for the implementation of digital Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) concepts in future supply chains. The research undertaken in the course of this paper follows a systems theory and Action Design Research (ADR) approach to allow the researchers to take a holistic and systems-oriented perspective on Supply Chain Management (SCM). The research results were obtained through a systemic and systematic approach. This paper presents a review of the current literature as well as the theories relevant for the conceptualization of the process model, among which systems theories, Action Research (AR), ADR and interoperability play an important role. The implementation process model adapts the four iterative stages proposed by the ADR method, thereby allowing for more participation by practitioners and end-users, and potentially a more successful implementation of digital SCC processes in future supply chains. It was found that the ADR method is well-suited for the development of the implementation model as the complexity and interconnectedness of supply chain networks requires all agents to be involved in order to enable a comprehensive system innovation and digitalization.

This paper examines the corporate organisational aspects of the implementation of Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 builds on new technologies and appears as a disruptive innovation to manufacturing firms. Although we do have a good understanding of the technical components, the implementation of the management and organisational aspects of Industry 4.0 is under-researched. It is challenging to find qualitative empirical evidence which provides comprehensive insights about real implementation cases. Based on a case study in a German high value manufacturing firm, we explore the corporate organisation and implementation of Industry 4.0. By using the framework of Complex Adaptive System (CAS), we have identified three key factors which facilitate the implementation of Industry 4.0 namely 1.) Organisational structure changes such as the foundation of a central department for digital transformation, 2.) The election of a Chief Digital Officer as a personnel change, and 3.) Corporate opening up towards cooperating with partners as a cultural change. We have furthermore found that Lean Management is an important enabler that ensures readiness for the adoption of Industry 4.0.

Industry 4.0 builds on new technologies and appears as a disruptive innovation to manufacturing firms. Although we do have a good understanding of the technical components, the implementation of the management and organisational aspects of Industry 4.0 is under-researched. It is challenging to find qualitative empirical evidence which provides comprehensive insights about real implementation cases. Based on a case study in a German high value manufacturing firm, we explore the corporate organisation and implementation of Industry 4.0. By using the framework of Complex Adaptive System (CAS), we have identified three key factors which facilitate the implementation of Industry 4.0 namely 1.) Organisational structure changes such as the foundation of a central department for digital transformation, 2.) The election of a Chief Digital Officer as a personnel change, and 3.) Corporate opening up towards cooperating with partners as a cultural change. We have furthermore found that Lean Management is an important enabler that ensures readiness for the adoption of Industry 4.0.","PeriodicalId":269465,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126826130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
