Psychological Aspects of Business Development: Personality Factors of Successful Innovative Activity
The present study focuses on personality factors which determine the effectiveness of the individual innovative activity. I analyzed relations between the most important psychological determinants of innovation: personal innovativeness, creativity, average intelligence, and novelty seeking. Obtained data showed that there is no significant correlation between innovativeness and creativity. This finding contradicts the idea that creativity and personal innovativeness closely relate to each other. But it looks as a partial support for the statement that creativity is the first step in future innovations. Performed analysis revealed no significant correlation between innovativeness and average intelligence. On the contrary, a correlation between personal innovativeness and novelty seeking was significantly positive (rs=.4, p<0.05). Results of the study can be applied to various procedures and stages of the innovation management.
В книге
Presents over twenty case studies drawn from practical experience ; Demonstrates how success is measured, providing reader with tools for implementation; Organized around five themes with specific comments for case comparisons from experts in the field; Introduces readers to several contexts that can be applied in various situations; Resource for further study of service innovation
Case Studies in Service Innovation provides the reader fresh insight into how innovation occurs in practice, and stimulates learning from one context to another. The volume brings together contributions from researchers and practitioners in a celebration of achievements with the intention of adding to the wider understanding of how service innovation develops. Each case presents a brief description of the context in which the innovation occurred, the opportunity that led to the innovation and an overview of the innovation itself, also addressing how success was measured, what success has been achieved to date and providing links to further information.
The book is organized around five major themes, each reflecting recognized sources of service innovation: Business Model Innovation: new ways of creating, delivering or capturing economic, social, environmental and other types of value; The Organization in its Environment: an organization engaging beyond its own boundaries, with public private partnerships, sourcing knowledge externally, innovation networks, and open or distributed innovation; Innovation Management within an Organization: an organization actively encouraging innovation within its own boundaries using project teams, internal governance of innovation, and methods or tools that stimulate innovation; Process Innovation: changes in service design and delivery processes, such as consumer led innovation or consumers as part of the innovation process, service operations management, and educational processes; Technology Innovation: the use of technology, including ICT enabled innovation, ICTs that are themselves innovative and support the delivery of new services, new ICT services, new ways of delivering services associated with ICT products, and technology other than ICT.
The final part of the book is given to four extended cases allowing for a more in-depth treatment of innovation within a complex service system. The extended cases also illustrate two important and growing trends, firstly the need for, and benefits of, a more customer centric approach to service innovation and secondly the need for better understanding of public services and the role of public-private partnerships in identifying and achieving innovation
Today the increasing number of constant consumers is a strategic aim for any organization which is possible to be achieved only under condition of continuous perfection of organizational activity quality. If the service representation doesn't correspond to the consumers’ expectations they lose their interest to the service organization, if it does correspond or surpass their expectations they probably would readdress to service provider. For this reason the service organization should more precisely reveal consumers requirements and expectations, namely provider should constantly measure its service quality.
In the given work approaches by the Russian and foreign researchers in the field of quality management are studied and analyzed in details, namely:
- approaches to the «service quality» definition;
- the basic components of service quality management process;
- service organization quality model.
The purpose of research work consists of ISQM (Innovation System of Quality Management) model creation taking into account features of TCS providing, which, in turn, is targeted on TCS company purposes achievement in the field of quality by means of:
- setting the control values of TCS quality indicators;
- measuring of the reached results and their comparison with expected results;
- effective management decision making as a result of carrying out the analysis of managerial activity in the field of quality on the basis of the report containing recommendations for the company activity improvement, prepared due to the results of measuring and collecting quality indicators.
способностями человека и мотивами выбора профессиональной деятельности. Результаты исследования говорят о том, какие именно мотивы выбора профессиональной деятельности связаны с уровнем определенных интеллектуальных способностей. Так, например, были обнаружены отрицательные связи математических способностей с мотивами «карьеры», «уверенности» и «руководства». Показатели способности к абстрактной логике отрицательно связаны с мотивами «включенности», «уверенности» и «служения обществу». Большинство выявленных взаимосвязей отрицательные. В частности, было показано, что респонденты с более низким по выборке уровнем интеллектуальных способностей оценивают важность многих мотивов выше, чем респонденты с более высокими показателями способностей. В рамках работы была разработана методика на определение мотивов выбора профессиональной деятельности. С ее помощью была получена факторная структура мотивов выбора профессиональной деятельности.
Реализация суперкомпьютерных программ СКИФ Союзного государства дала мощный импульс развитию суперкомпьютерных технологий в обеих странах-участниках, что позволило сделать суперкомпьютерные вычисления доступными не только крупным корпорациям и государственным научным учреждениям, но ВУЗам, средним и малым предприятиям.
В статье рассматриваются прогностические концепции развития общества как инновационного. Автор выдвигает предположение о формировании новых параметров формирования дискурсивной антропоцентрической экономики принципиально новых прогностических моделей инновационной коммуникации.
Книга описывает взаимосвязь между многоязычием и литературной продуктивностью.
