Nowadays, blockchain is developing as a secure and trustworthy platform for secure information sharing in areas of application like banking, supply chain management, food industry, energy, the Internet, and medical services. Besides, the blockchain can be described in a decentralized manner as an immutable ledger for recording data entries. Furthermore, this new technology has been developed to interrupt a variety of data-driven fields, including the health sector. However, blockchain refers to the distributed ledger technology, which constitutes an innovation in the information recording and sharing without a trusted third party. In this paper, blockchain and Distributed Ledger-based Improved Biomedical Security system (BDL-IBS) has been proposed to enhance the privacy and data security across healthcare applications. Further, our goal is to make it possible for patients to use the data to support their care and to provide strong consent systems for sharing data among different organizations and applications, since this includes managing and accessing a high amount of medical information, and this technology can maintain data to ensure reliability. Finally, results show that new blockchain-based digital platforms allow for fast, easy, and seamless interactions between data suppliers to enhance privacy and data security, including for patients themselves.
This study focuses on carbon capture and distribution technology, which is a new approach to the solution of this problem. In order to use this technology more effectively, six significant criteria are defined by considering the essentials of the international Loss Control Institute and the supported literature. Moreover, the analytic network process (ANP) is applied for measuring the relative importance of each factor. The findings demonstrate that organizational factor has the greatest importance, whereas market factor is the weakest element. In addition, the education of the personnel is the most important criterion for low-cost industrial carbon dioxide capture and separation technologies. In this context, it is seen that companies need competent personnel in order to reduce the costs of these products. There are two types of strategies that companies can develop to achieve this goal. Firstly, it would be appropriate for companies to provide their staff with the necessary training on carbon capture and storage technologies. The second most important strategy is for the new personnel to be employed in the company. When choosing new employees, it is necessary to measure whether they have sufficient knowledge about this technology. These strategies will contribute to lower costs when developing products for carbon capture and storage technology.
This paper discusses the evolution track and micro-mechanism of LCFs’ technological innovation capability from the perspective of integration of “Innovation Strategy-Innovation Paradigm-technological Innovation capability(SPT)”. It makes an longitudinal exploratory case of Huawei Company from 1987 to 2018. In this paper, it is found that: first, Huawei’s evolution of technological innovation capability is “Imitation Innovation capability-Primary Secondary Innovation capability - Ripe Secondary Innovation capability - Integrated Innovation capability - Original Innovation capability”. Technology innovation capability can be measured from three dimensions of technical distance, technical efficiency and technical reserves. Second, absorptive capability is the intermediate variable between the interaction of innovation strategy and technological innovation capability. Third, the driving mechanism, regulating mechanism and catalytic mechanism among the integrated evolution model in SPT of LCFs’ are respectively the Knowledge Cycle Mechanism, Knowledge Diversity and Dissipative Structure Theory. The theoretical contribution of this paper is as follows: it provides a new theoretical perspective for the follow-up research, and also provides a theoretical reference for the existing LCFs to get out of the bottleneck of development.
Residents have substantial control over their daily lifestyles, and their behavior change has a considerable potential to reduce emissions. Understanding the adoption of sustainable lifestyles and recycling behaviors and how behavioral policies might shape this decision-making is critical to the transition to sustainable consumption patterns. This paper developed a multi-agent model on a multiplex complex network that integrates evolutionary game theory to simultaneously capture information transmission and behavioral interaction dynamics. In this model, residents determine decision utilities under the influence of internal and external factors and information transmission and then perform social interactions according to an evolutionary dynamics model. A real case of residents’ green express packaging purchase decisions in China was used for parameter initialization. Explorative simulations and scenario analyses were conducted to investigate the adoption patterns of sustainable lifestyles under different policy scenarios. Results indicate that the dynamic evolution of residents’ sustainable lifestyle decisions relies on social interactions and social networks. Government subsidies are effective in fostering sustainable decisions, but this effect is sensitive to the size of complex networks. Information campaigns and government subsidies have a significant marginal contribution to promoting sustainable lifestyles than green labeling schemes. Implementing subsidies and information campaigns as policy mixes can exert complementary effects and improve aggregate outcomes of policy packages.
In the context of increasingly fierce global competition, utilizing digital technology to realize disruptive innovation is an effective way for enterprises to gain access to the mainstream market and form long-term competitive advantages. From the perspective of affordance, this study classifies digital technology affordance into cumulative affordance and variant affordance and explores the influence mechanism of digital technology affordance on enterprise disruptive innovation according to three core innovation phases: “fuzzy front-end–development–commercialization”. Based on 241 data points from different industries and types of enterprises, this empirical study found that (1) cumulative affordance and variant affordance have a significant positive impact on disruptive innovation and its “fuzzy front-end—development—commercialization” phases; (2) dynamic capabilities play a mediating role between digital technology affordance and disruptive innovation; and (3) the three aspects of dynamic capabilities—sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring—are greatly enhanced by cumulative affordance and variable affordance. These findings contribute to the research on the relationship between digital technology affordance and disruptive innovation and provide a micro-level perspective on how firms realize disruptive innovation through digital technology affordance.
Strategic management of Enterprise is a comprehensive course, the teaching process integrated financial management, marketing human resources management and etc. Most of the enterprises will adopt diversified management as their strategic target to make profits by the impact of globalization. How to make students participate in learning process ,then use the management methods in real business management situation, try to identify four steps in strategic management by practicing in the enterprises, establish a strategic partnership platform for teachers-enterprises-students, make a effectively improvement though learning and teaching for all of the three in the end.
