Abstract:
Platforms have the ability to create connected digital spaces where different actors co-exist and work together. The paper explores the power of platforms as enablers of a new channel of proximity, called digital proximity. It argues that platforms enable interactions, information flows, and network formation through digital proximity, which can effectively reinforce externalities complementing existing proximity forms or bypassing physical space barriers. Firms and industries adopting platform-based tools can create meaningful channels for increasing their proximity at an intra- and inter-firm level. The study uses data from the Digital Economy and Society database covering 25 EU countries for the years 2019 and 2021. It calculates the degree of adoption by EU firms at the national level for a set of selected platform-based technologies closely related to different proximity forms. It investigates the relationship between digital proximity, firm size, and industry, also introducing a geographical dimension. The evidence suggests that large firms have managed to integrate platform-based technologies to a greater extent, whereas small and medium firms still lack leveraging the full power of platforms. Increased adoption at the country level is also related to increased productivity, indicating the geographical dimension of platforms. The paper argues that platforms can be seen as a new means for balancing uneven spatial capabilities for producing proximity, indicating a high potential for fostering territorial cohesion. It concludes by suggesting that future research should measure the effects of digital proximity on development and their causal relationship to better elaborate on the implications of platforms on development.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to determine if there is a spatial dependence in the entrepreneurial activity among countries. The existence of a “digital proximity” could explain the spatial pattern of entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach – This question is empirically addressed by using a five-period, 2008-2012, panel data for 35 countries. A spatial fixed effects panel data model is estimated by using the total entrepreneurial activity published by the global entrepreneurship monitor as the dependent variable. Findings – A significant negative influence of the digital proximity on the entrepreneurial activity is observed. Mobile broadband (MB) direct effect is positive while the indirect effect (the spatial spillovers) is negative, leading to a negative total effect on the total entrepreneurial activity. This result is contrary to non-spatial models’ results. Besides, a higher MB penetration in a country would lead to a competitive advantage fostering its opportunities for entrepreneurship, but reducing those of its neighbours’. Originality/value – This paper examines the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and entrepreneurship, by introducing the spatial effects is the main contribution. This paper expands the scant literature on the ICT impact on entrepreneurship. Results obtained support policies towards enforcing innovation, education and reducing entry regulations for encouraging entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, MB policies could counteract the entrepreneurial policies’ results due to the spatial dependence.

Abstract:
Background Mitigation of the spread of infection relies on targeted approaches aimed at preventing nonhousehold interactions. Contact tracing in the form of digital proximity tracing apps has been widely adopted in multiple countries due to its perceived added benefits of tracing speed and breadth in comparison to traditional manual contact tracing. Assessments of user responses to exposure notifications through a guided approach can provide insights into the effect of digital proximity tracing app use on managing the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Objective The aim of this study was to demonstrate the use of Venn diagrams to investigate the contributions of digital proximity tracing app exposure notifications and subsequent mitigative actions in curbing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Switzerland. Methods We assessed data from 4 survey waves (December 2020 to March 2021) from a nationwide panel study (COVID-19 Social Monitor) of Swiss residents who were (1) nonusers of the SwissCovid app, (2) users of the SwissCovid app, or (3) users of the SwissCovid app who received exposure notifications. A Venn diagram approach was applied to describe the overlap or nonoverlap of these subpopulations and to assess digital proximity tracing app use and its associated key performance indicators, including actions taken to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Results We included 12,525 assessments from 2403 participants, of whom 50.9% (1222/2403) reported not using the SwissCovid digital proximity tracing app, 49.1% (1181/2403) reported using the SwissCovid digital proximity tracing app and 2.5% (29/1181) of the digital proximity tracing app users reported having received an exposure notification. Most digital proximity tracing app users (75.9%, 22/29) revealed taking at least one recommended action after receiving an exposure notification, such as seeking SARS-CoV-2 testing (17/29, 58.6%) or calling a federal information hotline (7/29, 24.1%). An assessment of key indicators of mitigative actions through a Venn diagram approach reveals that 30% of digital proximity tracing app users (95% CI 11.9%-54.3%) also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after having received exposure notifications, which is more than 3 times that of digital proximity tracing app users who did not receive exposure notifications (8%, 95% CI 5%-11.9%). Conclusions Responses in the form of mitigative actions taken by 3 out of 4 individuals who received exposure notifications reveal a possible contribution of digital proximity tracing apps in mitigating the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The application of a Venn diagram approach demonstrates its value as a foundation for researchers and health authorities to assess population-level digital proximity tracing app effectiveness by providing an intuitive approach for calculating key performance indicators.

Abstract:
This paper aims to make a conceptualization of proximity digital media. It will define what is local and proximity communication as well as the history and evolution of online journalism and digital media features which are briefly reviewed. Business models that exist nowadays and the state of art in Catalonia (Spain) will also be briefly analysed. From this theoretical framework it will be explained the case of Nació Digital and its territorial media. Initially the history of this media group will be developed, as well as its journalistic and business models. The paper seeks to underscore the importance of the journalistic model based on the tradition of the profession, the proximity information and the technology developed for this online media. The Nació Digital is an example of a successful media outlet judging from its audience figures (the second online media in Catalonia) and its sustainable model business.<em><em><br /></em></em>

People are quite good at establishing a social style and using it in different communications contexts, but they do less well when the communication is mediated by computer networks. It is hard to control what information is revealed and how one's digital persona will be presented or interpreted. In this thesis, we ameliorate this problem by creating a "Virtual Private Milieu", a "VPM", that allows networked devices to act on our behalf and project a "digital aura" to other people and devices around us in a manner analogous to the way humans naturally interact with one another. The dynamic aggregation of the different auras and facets that the devices expose to one another creates social spheres of interaction between sets of active devices, and consequently between people. We focus on the subset of networking that deals with proximate communication, which we dub Face-to-Face Networking (FtFN). Network interaction in this space is often analogous to human face-to-face interaction, and increasingly, our devices are being used in local situations. We describe a VPM framework, key features of which include the incorporation of trust and context parameters into the discovery and communication process, incorporation of multiple contextunique identities, and also the support for multiple degrees of security and privacy. We also present the "Social Dashboard", a readily usable control for one's aura. Finally, we review "Comm.unity", a software package that allows developers and researchers easy implementation and deployment of local and distant social applications, and present two applications developed over this platform.

Abstract:
Recent developments in communications technology have transformed how social movements might mobilize, and how they can organize their activities. This thesis explores some of the geographical consequences of the use of digital media for political activism. It does this by focusing on the transnationalization of protests. The aim is to analyse how movements with different organizational structures and political scopes are affected by their use of digital media. This is done with a specific focus on how digital media use influences or enables transnational modes of organization and activism. The thesis comprises four different case studies where each study examines a social movement with a specific organizational structure. There are, however, also important similarities between the movements. In each study, somewhat different perspectives and methodological approaches are used. Some of the methods used are semi-structured interviews, content analysis of written data (retrieved from Facebook as well as Twitter), and social network analysis. The analysis indicates that digital media do have a role in the transnationalization of protest. This role, however, differs depending on what type of social movement one studies. The organizational structure of social movements, together with their specific forms of digital media use, influences how the transnationalization of protests and movements is articulated and formed. In cases where a social movement has a hierarchical organizational structure, there is less transnationalization, whereas in social movements with a more non-hierarchical organizational structure one sees more transnationalization. The thesis concludes that the transnationalization of protests is affected by social movements’ organizational structure. The more decentralized the social movement, the more vibrant the transnational public. In order to explain how transnational social movements, using digital media, can emerge in cases where geographical distances might make such coalitions unlikely, the thesis introduces the notion of affectual proximity. This concept helps us understand how transnational social movements, connecting actors from all over the world, can emerge through digital media.

Abstract:
Since digital media entered the business domain, many different tools and platforms have transformed the nature of business communications. This transformation has not been easy, since the journey has been accompanied by challenges from the marketers’ side against the adoption of the new platforms into the firm’s communication channels. Business to business marketers have also been engaged in such challenges by maintaining a slow adoption, which has motivated the researchers to study the adoption of different means and tools of digital communication in a business context. Through this research, I contribute by exploring the adoption strategies of digital platforms in the B2B supply chain including B2B firms, retailers and end users. By digital media, I mainly refer to social media and beacon technology. First, I begin this thesis by identifying the adoption and integration strategies of social media and digital marketing into traditional marketing channels in a B2B context. In this part, I identify the B2B firms’ target audience and propose a model facilitating a B2B firm’s practical social media adoption strategies. Second, to explore the benefits of different social media content sharing approaches derived from information accessibility resulted in the prior study of this thesis, I introduce and examine Public and Gated-Content sharing approaches. Thereafter, assisted by Social Power Theory and Resource Dependence Theory, I examine the effect of Public and Gated-Content sharing approaches on the target audience’s willingness to interact with the firm. The findings of this study reveal that Gated-Content approach can help the firms build closer relationship with the target audience and engage them in a co-creation process. Third, by studying proximity marketing through the adoption of beacon technology in the retail context, I explore the current methods of usage, as well as the benefits and challenges of in-store proximity marketing adoption for content sharing purposes. I complete the thesis by presenting the different challenges of such adoption, which consist technical, human behavior, managerial perception, resource and privacy factors. Finally, I identify the need to integrate the physical aspect of place and location back again into the online digital communication channels within a retail context.

Abstract:
La révolution induite par la transformation numérique des très petites entreprises (TPE) et des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) est sans précédent, impulsée par l'émergence rapide des technologies numériques. Cette mutation dépasse largement la simple modernisation des outils ; elle engendre un changement profond dans la manière dont ces entreprises interagissent avec leur environnement économique et social. Cette thèse soutient que cette transformation constitue un processus stratégique intégrant de manière exhaustive et novatrice les technologies digitales dans tous les aspects d'une organisation. Elle explore en profondeur comment la transformation numérique des TPE/PME traditionnelles peut agir comme un catalyseur du développement économique territorial, en analysant ses enjeux et impacts socio-économiques. En combinant des approches qualitative et quantitative, elle aborde la problématique sous plusieurs angles, incluant les dimensions organisationnelles, managériales et territoriales. Structurée autour de quatre axes d'analyse distincts, cette thèse par articles examine l'aspect stratégique de la transformation numérique et son rôle dans la résilience territoriale, la gestion des externalités générées par cette transformation, l'évolution du rôle du dirigeant, et l'impact de l'utilisation de l'IA générative dans la gestion des données et la prise de décision. Au-delà des résultats individuels des articles, plusieurs conclusions transversales émergent de la recherche, mettant en lumière l'importance croissante du numérique pour les TPE/PME traditionnelles, tout en soulignant la nécessité d'une approche équilibrée entre outils numériques et interactions humaines. En intégrant une évolution numérique de la théorie de la construction stratégique par le chef d’entreprise développée par Henry Mintzberg, cette thèse met en avant des recommandations pour les dirigeants et les institutions. Ces recommandations visent à promouvoir la culture numérique, faciliter la collaboration et offrir un soutien personnalisé pour la mise en œuvre de la transformation numérique au sein des entreprises. Notamment, cette approche, en mettant en évidence une perception différente du numérique et de la transformation numérique dans l'entreprise, favorise le développement d'écosystèmes mis en perspective avec l’attractivité territoriale. Enfin, cette thèse aspire à aider les acteurs économiques et institutionnels à naviguer avec succès dans l'ère numérique, en intégrant les principes de sobriété numérique et de responsabilité environnementale dans leurs stratégies, tout en favorisant l'innovation et la compétitivité
The revolution induced by the digital transformation of very small enterprises (VSEs) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is unprecedented, driven by the rapid emergence of digital technologies. This change goes far beyond mere tool modernization; it brings about a profound shift in how these businesses interact with their economic and social environment. This thesis argues that this transformation constitutes a strategic process that comprehensively and innovatively integrates digital technologies into all aspects of an organization. It delves into how the digital transformation of traditional VSEs/SMEs can act as a catalyst for territorial economic development, analyzing its socio-economic issues and impacts. By combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, it addresses the issue from various angles, including organizational, managerial, and territorial dimensions. Structured around four distinct axes of analysis, this thesis through articles examines the strategic aspect of digital transformation and its role in territorial resilience, the management of externalities generated by this transformation, the evolution of the role of leadership, and the impact of using generative AI in data management and decision-making. Beyond the individual findings of the articles, several cross-cutting conclusions emerge from the research, highlighting the growing importance of digitalization for traditional VSEs/SMEs while underscoring the need for a balanced approach between digital tools and human interactions. By integrating a digital evolution of the theory of strategic construction by the business leader developed by Henry Mintzberg, this thesis puts forward recommendations for leaders and institutions. These recommendations aim to promote digital culture, facilitate collaboration, and provide personalized support for the implementation of digital transformation within businesses. Importantly, this approach, by highlighting a different perception of digitalization and digital transformation within the company, fosters the development of ecosystems in perspective with territorial attractiveness. Finally, this thesis aims to assist economic and institutional actors in successfully navigating the digital era by integrating principles of digital sobriety and environmental responsibility into their strategies, while fostering innovation and competitiveness

O presente trabalho tem como proposta estudar como ocorrem os vínculos entre leitores e um jornal, o Diário Popular, localizado no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, na cidade de Pelotas e que abrange uma mesma região, a zona Sul do estado, através da página do veículo no Facebook. Investigamos de que forma esses leitores significam os acontecimentos locais, a partir de interação com o jornal. Para isso, levamos em conta os processos de jornalismo em redes digitais e estudamos questões pertinentes à proximidade e territorialidade, além de acontecimento, redes sociais digitais e interação. Utilizamos como principais metodologias a análise de construção de sentidos em redes digitais e entrevista. Pudemos identificar a partir do nosso recorte, que existem diferentes tipos de interação entre leitores e jornal, as quais categorizamos como afetação – argumento, afetação – passionalidade, prestimosidade e sociabilidade e que, o leitor, a partir de características de proximidade territoriais, identifica-se com os acontecimentos locais e regionais.
The present study aims to verify the links between readers and a newspaper. The newspaper studied was Diário Popular, which is located in the country side of Rio Grande do Sul, in the city of Pelotas. The newspaper cover, the southern part of the state, through the Facebook’s page. We investigated how these readers signify local events, from the interaction with the newspaper. For this, we considerated the processes of journalism in digital networks and we study issues related to proximity and territoriality, as well as events, digital social networks and interaction. The methodology used was the analysis of sense construction in digital networks and interview. From our clipping, we identified that there are different types of interaction between readers and newspapers, categorized as affectation - argument, affectation - passion, helpfulness and sociability. Which the readers, based on characteristics of territorial proximity, find themselves in local and regional events.

Abstract:
A measure of the quality of Voronoi tessellations resulting from various mesh generators founded on feature-driven models is introduced in this work. A planar tessellation covers an image with polygons of various shapes and sizes. Tessellations have potential utility due to their geometry and the opportunity to derive useful information from them for object recognition, image processing and classification. Problem domains including images are generally feature-endowed, non-random domains. Generators modeled otherwise may easily guarantee quality of meshes but certainly bear no reference to features of the meshed problem domain. They are therefore unsuitable in point pattern identification, characterization and subsequently the study of meshed regions. We therefore found generators on features of the problem domain. This provides a basis for element quality studies and improvement based on quality criteria. The resulting polygonal meshes tessellating an n-dimensional digital image into convex regions are of varying element qualities. Given several types of mesh generating sets, a measure of overall solution quality is introduced to determine their effectiveness. Given a tessellation of general and mixed shapes, this presents a challenge in quality improvement. The Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) technique is developed for quality improvement and guarantees of mixed, general-shaped elements and to preserve the validity of the tessellations. Mesh quality indicators and entropies introduced are useful for pattern studies, analysis, recognition and assessing information. Computed features of tessellated spaces are explored for image information content assessment and cell processing to expose detail using information theoretic methods. Tessellated spaces also furnish information on pattern structure and organization through their quality distributions. Mathematical and theoretical results obtained from these spaces help in understanding Voronoi diagrams as well as for their successful applications. Voronoi diagrams expose neighbourhood relations between pattern units. Given this realization, the foundation of near sets is developed for further applications.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation that the main objective is to study proximity digital media in Catalonia. The theoretical framework establishes the foundations on which stands the sector: proximity communication and digital journalism (or cyberjournalism). The phenomenon of proximity digital media in Catalonia is analysed through the study of a paradigmatic case, which is the Group Nació Digital (GND). It was chosen for this research because it is considered a success model for the expansion of recent years, audience figures reached and a solvent business model. It has been studied the journalism and business model with a special attention to their territorial editions. Mainly it is used qualitative methodology that includes case of study and in-depth and semi-structured interviews to the management team of the Group and the responsibles for proximity digital media. Moreover a quantitative technique, content analysis, is also used to extend the study. The main conclusion is that the key to success has been the model of proximity information, which allowed the expansion and growth of the audience, and the technology, which is in constant innovation and has an own management system.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Comunicação Social, vertente de Comunicação Estratégica
A evolução da tecnologia lançou novos desafios à comunicação entre as pessoas, o que obrigou as organizações a responderem de igual forma. Os novos canais e espaços onde a comunicação se desenrola, como é o caso dos social media e de outras plataformas digitais, permitem às organizações, através das relações públicas, encetar novas interacções com os seus públicos. As relações entre ambos passam a ser interactivas e participativas e não unidireccionais, como acontece com as mensagens veiculadas nos media tradicionais. As Forças de Segurança, para atingirem os seus objectivos, necessitam de ter uma presença junto da comunidade para a qual recorrem ao policiamento de proximidade. Este, enquanto base de actuação das Forças de Segurança portuguesas, deve adaptar-se à evolução da forma de comunicar, usufruindo das plataformas digitais, que permitem um contacto permanente e eficaz com os seguidores. Partindo deste princípio, pretende-se compreender como podem as ferramentas de comunicação digital contribuir para a promoção de uma política de proximidade nas Forças de Segurança Portuguesas, nomeadamente da PSP e da GNR. Para isso, contou-se com a análise teórica sobre as relações públicas online integradas na estratégia de comunicação das organizações e as mais-valias dos social media para o policiamento de proximidade. Adicionalmente, realizaram-se entrevistas aos responsáveis pelos departamentos de comunicação de cada uma das instituições e foi ainda analisado o conteúdo das suas páginas de Instagram e Facebook, para identificar diferenças e semelhanças entre ambas na linha editorial de conteúdos, assim como as reacções dos seguidores. Desta análise, foi possível concluir sobre o contributo positivo da utilização destas ferramentas na proximidade com os cidadãos, nomeadamente no aumento do número de contactos proactivos com as Forças de Segurança. Estas ferramentas contribuem ainda para aumentar a exposição a conteúdos de prevenção e sensibilização, bem como para diminuir as limitações no contacto dos cidadãos.
The evolution of technology has launched new challenges to communication between people, which has forced organizations to respond in the same way. The new channels and spaces where communication takes place, such as social media and other digital platforms, allow organisations, through public relations, to initiate new interactions with their audiences. The relations between them become interactive and participative and not unidirectional, as happens with the messages conveyed in traditional media. In order to achieve their objectives, the Security Forces need to have a presence in the community for which they resort to proximity policing. This, as a base of action of the Portuguese Security Forces, must adapt to the evolution of the way of communicating, taking advantage of digital platforms, which allow a permanent and effective contact with the followers. Based on this principle, it is entended to understand how digital communication tools can contribute to the promotion of a proximity policy in the Portuguese Security Forces, namely PSP and GNR. To this end, we relied on the theoretical analysis of online public relations integrated into the communication strategy of organisations and the added value of social media for proximity policing. In addition, interviews were conducted with those responsible for the communication departments of each of the institutions and the content of their Instagram and Facebook pages was also analysed to identify differences and similarities between them in the editorial content line, as well as the reactions of the followers. From this analysis, it was possible to conclude on the positive contribution of the use of these tools in proximity with the citizens, namely in the increase of the number of proactive contacts with the Security Forces. These tools also contribute to increasing exposure to prevention and awareness-raising content, as well as to reducing the limitations on citizen contact.

Abstract:
Clinical trials are experiments or observations on a patient’s responses of different medical treatments to cure diseases. Such trials are heavily regulated and must achieve a certain quality standard of the trial and clinical adherence is a determining factor on the success of a study. However, it has historically been difficult to systematically follow and understand patient adherence to medical ordinations, predominately due to lack of proper tools. One new type of tools is a digital pillbox that can be used to supply pills to participants in clinical trials. This paper examines implementing two supervised machine learning models to detect if an object (a pill) is found in an encapsulated compartment (pillbox) based on electromagnetic radiation data from a proximity sensor. Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) were evaluated on a data set of N=1,485 observations, consisting of five classes: four different pills and ‘no pill’. RF performs best with accuracy of 98.0% and weighted average precision of 98.0%. SVM had 97.3% accuracy and 97.6% weighted average precision. Best performance was achieved at N=1,000 for RF and 1,100 for SVM. The conclusion was that a high accuracy and precision can be achieved using either RF or SVM. The classification model strengthens the value proposition of a digital pillbox and can improve clinical trials to achieve better data quality. However, for the model to contribute actual economical value, digital pillboxes must be a common practice in clinical trials.
Kliniska studier är experiment eller observationer av en patients reaktion på olika typer av medicinsk vård för behandling sjukdomar. Sådana studier är tungt reglerade och behöver uppnå en viss kvalitésstandard och klinisk följsamhet är en avgörande faktor för en studies framgång. Trots det har det historiskt varit svårt att systematiskt mäta och förstå en patients följsamhet av en medicinsk ordination, primärt på grund av brist av användbara verktyg. En ny typ av verktyg är en digital  pillerbox som försörjer piller till deltagare i kliniska studier. Denna studie undersöker implementation av två bevakade maskininlärningsmodeller för detektion om ett objekt (ett piller) befinner sig i ett slutet fack baserad på elektromagnetisk strålning från en närhetssensor. Support Vector Machine (SVM) och Random Forest (RF) utvärderades på ett dataset av N=1 485 observationer utgjort av fem klasser: fyra piller och ’inget piller’. RF presterar bäst med 98,0% i träffsäkerhet och 98,0% i viktad medelprecision. SVM fick 97,3% träffsäkerhet och 97,6% viktad medelprecision. Bäst prestation uppnåddes vid N=1 000 för RF och N=1 100 för SVM. Slutsatsen var att en hög träffsäkerhet och precision kan uppnås genom antingen RF eller SVM. Klassificeringsmodellen förstärker en digital pillerbox värdeerbjudande och kan hjälpa kliniska studier att uppnå högre datakvalité. Däremot, för klassificeringsmodellen ska bidra med faktiskt ekonomiskt värde, behöver digitala pillerboxar vara en vedertagen praxis.

Abstract:
Interventional pain management techniques are invaluable in the treatment of pain from various etiologies. Routine and advanced interventional pain management needle placement is essential not only to guarantee success with intended pain-relieving procedures, but also to minimize known complications from these same procedures. Knowledge of relevant anatomy is crucial. The focus of this chapter is to provide a brief description of various interventional pain management injection techniques. A short summary of the relevant anatomy, landmarks used for needle placement and important safety considerations is provided along with a selection of digital and radiographic photographs depicting the ideal needle placement and contrast flow at or in the immediate proximity of the targeted structures.

Abstract:
AbstractOne of the key issues in human-machine collaboration is human safety. Safe human-robot interaction can be implemented using an electronic skin (e-skin) that detects the human’s proximity to the collaborative robot (cobot) casing even before the collision with the machine. The detection delay of such a situation should be as small as possible to be able to stop the machine safely. This paper presents an analysis of the results of estimating the proximity of a human to a robot with an electronic skin placed on its surface. The proximity estimation system works by measuring the capacitance of an open capacitor, and the placement of the capacitor on the conductive robot case significantly affects system performance. This paper outlines which parameters have the most important influence on this performance.

Abstract:
AbstractReading across the contributions of this book, this comment argues for a “Caring for big data” in critical proximity with the tools and techniques of data scientific practices. Contrary to a critically distant position, caring for big data in critical proximity is to practice it differently. It raises the question of how tools for data harvest, analysis, and visualization should be designed if the task was taken on from inside digital migration studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Even before the corona pandemic broke out in 2020, the role of digitalisation became more and more apparent within Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) processes. Since the pandemic,intermediary organisations that bridge the distance between academia and the world of business to pave the way for successful university-industry linkages have not primarily been able to build on face-to-face-encounters to create those relations. Based on an ongoing research project, this paper examines how digitally mediated communications potentially enhance or limit knowledge and technology transfer that is primarily based on face-to-face interactions.On the one hand, the use of digitally mediated communications seem to foster the spatial expansion of networks, save travel times and costs and foster a special form of social inclusion. University-industry-relations, on the other hand,still rely on a positive evaluation of face-to-face contacts and geographical proximity for trust to develop between heterogeneous partners. Here, actors with bridging functions like transfer scouts are vital in enabling a regular communicative exchange to create commitment, social cohesion and cooperation in digital contexts. Although the relevance of digitalised transfer processes has been increasing over time, an important set of activities, involving face-to-face contacts and co-location, currently still plays a major role for transfer intermediaries in university-industry-relations.

Full text
Abstract:
Global manufacturing industries and supply chains have been hit by a number of turbulences, some of which will also have an impact on the site selection of FDI projects. Rising geopolitical tensions, recurring lockdowns due to the COVID-pandemic, turmoil in maritime logistics, or the global semiconductor shortage all increase the necessity of reshoring and in-house manufacturing, although relocating production to the homeland is facing serious headwinds in many cases. Experience shows that most multinational companies are considering different scenarios of decentralising production, through which they are seeking a balance of scale, proximity of markets, and flexibility. Overall, the main task of countries competing for FDI remains unchanged: securing attractive conditions and a supportive environment for corporate value creation in the long run. Beyond the current spectacular turbulences of supply chains, the future of the manufacturing industries and the site selection of the related FDI projects will mostly be determined by the rollout of Industry 4.0 and the digital transformation, and this is what national investment promotion must prepare for.

Full text
Abstract:
Geelong and the Surf Coast are treated here as one entity although there are marked differences between the two communities. Sitting on the home of the Wathaurong Aboriginal group, this G21 region is geographically diverse. Geelong serviced a wool industry on its western plains, while manufacturing and its seaport past has left it as a post-industrial city. The Surf Coast has benefitted from the sea change phenomenon. Both communities have fast growing populations and have benefitted from their proximity to Melbourne. They are deeply integrated with this major urban centre. The early establishment of digital infrastructure proved an advantage to certain sectors. All creative industries are represented well in Geelong while many creatives in Torquay are embedded in the high profile and economically dominant surfing industry. The Geelong community is serviced well by its own creative industries with well-established advertising firms, architects, bookshops, gaming arcades, movie houses, music venues, newspaper headquarters, brand new and iconic performing and visual arts centres, libraries and museums, television and radio all accessible in its refurbished downtown area. Co-working spaces, collective practices and entrepreneurial activity are evident throughout the region.
