Full textAbstract:
Biodiversity is sustained by and is essential to the services that ecosystems provide. Different species would use these services in different ways, or adaptive strategies, which are sustained in time by continuous innovations. Using this framework, we postulate a model for a biological species ( Homo sapiens ) in a finite world where innovations, aimed at increasing the flux of ecosystem services (a measure of habitat quality), increase with population size, and have positive effects on the generation of new innovations (positive feedback) as well as costs in terms of negatively affecting the provision of ecosystem services. We applied this model to human populations, where technological innovations are driven by cumulative cultural evolution. Our model shows that depending on the net impact of a technology on the provision of ecosystem services ( θ ), and the strength of technological feedback ( ξ ), different regimes can result. Among them, the human population can fill the entire planet while maximizing their well-being, but not exhaust ecosystem services. However, this outcome requires positive or green technologies that increase the provision of ecosystem services with few negative externalities or environmental costs, and that have a strong positive feedback in generating new technologies of the same kind. If the feedback is small, then the technological stock can collapse together with the human population. Scenarios where technological innovations generate net negative impacts may be associated with a limited technological stock as well as a limited human population at equilibrium and the potential for collapse. The only way to fill the planet with humans under this scenario of negative technologies is by reducing the technological stock to a minimum. Otherwise, the only feasible equilibrium is associated with population collapse. Our model points out that technological innovations per se may not help humans to grow and dominate the planet. Instead, different possibilities unfold for our future depending on their impact on the environment and on further innovation. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Process and pattern in innovations from cells to societies’.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the inhibiting factors of small and medium enterprises (SMEs’) technology innovation, supporting institutions for SMEs technology innovation development, SMEs’ technology innovation development model and strategies for developing SMEs in technology innovation. Design/methodology/approach This is a mixed-method research project conducted through a survey of SMEs in Riau Province, Sumatera Indonesia (primarily in the districts of Siak, Kampar and Pelalawan) from April to July 2019. SMEs that have been operating for at least five years were chosen purposively as samples. Based on the requirement, there are 277 entities used in this study. A focus group discussion (FGD) was also conducted to formulate SME models and development strategies in technological innovation. In addition, in-depth interviews and observations were also carried out on technological innovations undertaken by respondents. Findings It was found that there are five inhibiting factors of SMEs’ technology innovation: government support, quality of human resources, funding of technological innovation, economic conditions and business partners. The biggest inhibiting factor remains to be the funding of technological innovation. Therefore SMEs provide independent technological innovation costs to develop technological innovations for business sustainability. Supporting institutions for developing SME technology innovation consist of government institutions, private institutions, financial institutions (banks) and nonbank financial institutions. To survive and excel amid competition, SMEs need to pay attention to technological innovation. The business strategy that needs to be done is to improve services to consumers and improve their attitude toward innovation in the implementation and development of SMEs’ businesses. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to research on the inhibiting factors for SME technology innovation from the aspect of the production sector. This research has not studied various business fields in the trade, service and digital SME sectors. Future studies can reveal factors inhibiting SME technological innovation, except production aspects and various SME business fields. In addition, this study has not analyzed the cost of technological innovation provided by SMEs. Therefore, future studies could also reveal the large costs of technological innovation provided by SMEs. Originality/value This research investigates barriers hindering the SMEs’ technological innovations in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia as a maritime country. It also formulates strategies to reduce the barriers to SME’s technological innovation and contributes to the development of knowledge of technological innovations in SMEs. Moreover, this paper involves investigating government support from a nonfinancial aspect. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this aspect has not been much discussed by studies on innovation at SMEs till now.

To ensure the effective functioning of the national innovation system it is required an appropriate innovation infrastructure, which is a set of economic entities providing technical, informational, human, financial, organizational-methodical and (or) other support to subjects of innovative activity necessary to create knowledge, technologies, transformation them into new products and services. A key part of the regional innovative infrastructure is a structure of patent information support of innovation processes undertaken by the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Analytical and patent information play a leading role in strategic planning and management of innovation and intellectual property, scientific-technological and marketing problems, understanding the general level of achievements in the field of science and technology. In this regard, the most important activity of infrastructure elements of the innovation patent information support is to ensure access of economic entities to a variety of resources to effectively address issues of protection, disposition and use of rights to results of intellectual activity. These elements of the innovation infrastructure should become so called «connecting bridges» from knowledge to innovation. The author proposes the exchange mechanisms for commercialization of scientific-technological developments. Launching the project Novosibirsk Center to Support Innovation and Technology created on the base of the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences plans to change the approach to innovations that should help to solve the regional basic problems.

Changing the priorities of economic development in transition to post-industrial society inevitably causes reviewing approaches to the role of innovation in modern economy. If in the era of industrial development of society innovations are considered mainly as a factor of technological development, in case of a post-industrial society innovations should be considered in a broader perspective. Innovative technologies in all their diversity are being introduced not only in the technological sphere, but also in education, in the service industry, housing and communal services, life support sphere, etc. The problem of shifting regions and separate territories to innovative development approaches is one of the key issues in forming an economy based on knowledge. “Nuclear” cities, where development of nuclear technologies is implemented both for defense and civilian purposes (nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel production, etc.), can be ideally used as territories of advanced social and economic development (TASED) primarily thanks to human potential of these cities. The article analyzes recent humanitarian and technological changes, called the “humanitarian technological revolution” (HTR), and their impact on the speed and effectiveness of innovative changes in this area.

Full textAbstract:
With the intensification of globalization processes and the high level of competition in international, regional and national markets, innovation has acquired the status of a major advantage for any country and has become the basis for ensuring its sustainable economic development. The use of new knowledge and technologies provides an opportunity to implement and intensify innovation and, as a result, to build an efficient and competitive innovation economy. Based on the above, the question arises of building a fundamentally new national innovation system, adapted to the socio-technological challenges, which should determine the competitive position of the national economy in the global arena. In this context, social capital, as a factor of readiness for technological transformations of the state and strengthening of competitive positions in the international markets, forms the basis for the expansion of research and transformation of the NIS. The purpose of the article is a theoretical substantiation of objective processes of transformation of NIS, taking into account modern trends and identifying the role and place of the social component in it. Given the fact that scientific and technological progress is an inevitable process, the relationship between the center and the periphery of the global economic system is characterized by unequal scientific and technological exchange, in which the peripheral countries are forced to pay intellectual rents contained in imported goods and services, as well as to act as a raw material and production appendage of the developed countries. The subject of the article is the transformation processes that take place in modern innovation systems under the influence of global challenges, as well as the social component, which is undoubtedly the driving force in the modern world for the promotion of domestic innovations, the development of high-tech business, and the increase of the level of technological readiness of society. The methodological basis of the study is the historical-logical method, the system-structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, and the methods of qualitative comparison. Results. Social capital in NIS acts as a kind of litmus test, reflecting its efficiency and competitiveness, since the functionality and social role of the innovation system is expressed in providing society with innovations, technological goods, products and services that effectively satisfy the entire spectrum of human needs.

Full textAbstract:
Research background. During these days the innovations are a more and more used definition in the business, especially in the market research, human resource management, new products and service development, etc. Frequently innovations are related with the application of new technology and new ideas as well as creation of new methods. Even more, innovations are related with the development of existing processes and products (Bigliardi, Dormio, 2009). Innovations are important in the sector of tourism industry, which is expanding every time combining more and more different areas of business. According to Melnikas (2011), discontent and necessity of changes are some persuasive factors to begin an activity of innovation. Thus, it could be the reason for the application of innovations in the sector of accommodation service to become essential. Importance of innovations is discussed pretty widely in the scientific literature (Bigliardi, Dormio, 2009; Hall, Williams, 2008; Inauen, Schenker-Wicki, 2011; Notaro et al., 2012), but innovations in tourism sector have been discussed only recently (Nagy, 2012; Ravar, Iorgulescu, 2013). This article is relevant because application of innovations in the sector of accommodation service is not enough discussed in Lithuania as it is done by some foreign scientists (Sundbo et al., 2007; Hall et al., 2008; Ravar, Iorgulescu, 2013). The object of the research is innovations in the sector of accommodation service, and the aim is to determine the activeness of innovations’ application in the sector of an accommodation service. Research methods. This article deals with the application of innovations in the sector of accommodation service using the method of scientific literature analyses and quantitative empirical research – the method questionnaire survey. The research respondents were the employees of Kaunas city organizations of accommodation service. The author of this article is grateful to her student Martynas Bruzas who collected 270 filled in questionnaires. Results and discussion. Innovations are the most frequently described as an application of technologies creating new products, new services, and new processes of activity in the market. Innovations are combined with technological changes in the products, services and their creation processes. The research results revealed that services of accommodation business were restricted by just using electronic mail, the electronic page of business and electronic page of socialization. The research results revealed that services of accommodation business performed just slight changes of innovations according to some novelties in the market. On the other hand, employees of these organizations were enough sure that their organizations were applying innovations, but at the same time they thought that innovations could be more combined with the qualifications of organizations’ employees. Conclusions. According to research results, we suggest that most Kaunas city accommodation services presume that they are active in the application of innovations, but there were only some technological changes of innovations. The research results revealed that usually innovations were related to IT programs of accommodation service, wireless internet, telephone, television, touch tabs, room infrastructure and the systems of reservations. Keywords: innovations, innovations of accommodation sector, development.

Maternal mortality rate (MMR) has been one of India’s key priority areas. Over the years. several national programs have addressed issues of accessibility and affordability of antenatal care. Major gaps in the system include shortage of trained human resource and technological infrastructure in providing essential diagnostic ante-natal care. High risk pregnancies (HRP) owing to various factors, account for 70-80% of maternal deaths. This case study describes the clinical and workflow process innovation in ante-natal care in Shorapur taluka, a rural region of Northern Karnataka. Maternal obstetric monitoring (MOM) through a defined protocol for high-risk pregnancy identification aided by ultrasound scans, was introduced at the sub-district hospital. In parallel, system strengthening was done through capacity building activities, installation of blood storage unit and provision of ultrasound services. The model demonstrates that process and technological innovations can be leveraged on to facilitate and make available specialist medical services in rural areas, which is key to identification and timely management of high-risk pregnancies.

Purpose Innovations in user-driven hearing technology and services have placed greater control in the hands of the patient. While these advances could address issues of hearing health care accessibility, their success rests on the assumption that patients possess sufficient technological competence to self-manage these products and services successfully. The purpose of this tutorial is to highlight the importance of focusing on usability, rather than just performance outcomes, during the design, development, and evaluation of user-driven hearing technology and services. Method This tutorial explores human–technology interaction and usability and discusses practical methods for applying these concepts in hearing health care research and development. Two case studies illustrate how usability can inform the design and development of interactive educational materials for patients and the evaluation of a commercially available mHealth app. Conclusions In order to derive benefit from innovations in hearing health care, products and services must be intuitively usable in addition to being accessible and affordable. The discipline of human–technology interaction provides a relevant and useful framework to guide future research and development efforts in user-driven hearing health care.

The specifics of the modern stage of development of the world-economy system, among other things, is manifested in the growth of the level of internationalization of research and innovation activities, which was naturally accompanied by the intensification of international scientific-technological exchange (ISTE). It is the main factor that characterizes the grade of integration of the country into the world economy. This exchange is identified with the spread (diffusion) of knowledge, covering almost all industries, sphere of services, economy sectors. The article examines the main elements of the theoretical base of the ISTE research (theories of diffusion of innovations, industry diffusion of innovations, S-shaped curve, value of transactions, strategic management, industrial organization, social exchange, theory of international trade and internationalization, theory of economic mechanisms, the authors’ own concepts and models). The concepts according to which the ISTE is described (diffusion, transfusion of knowledge; diffusion of innovations as embodied knowledge; international technology transfer) and its main channels (global, interregional, international, cross-border) are researched. The reasons for the development of the ISTE are analyzed and its importance is substantiated. The peculiarities of participation in the ISTE of both the developed and the developing countries are considered – the main motives, forms, prevailing channels, and basic limitations. The grounds that determine the country’s success in absorbing new knowledge are provided (universities, information infrastructure, human resources, perception of innovation). The important role of international organizations (UNCTAD, WTO, WHO, etc.) in the ISTE, which form international policy in the sphere of intellectual property protection and ensuring global cooperation, is underlined. It is emphasized that the main problems in the ISTE are related to the divergence of interests of the State and business. The main tasks for the governments of the countries on achieving the optimum of the ISTE (improvement of the national innovation system, formation of special infrastructure of ISTE, training of scientific personnel, organization of special work on the absorption of new knowledge and their adaptation, dissemination of advantages of the ISTE, formation of the State policy on development and regulation of participation in the ISTE) have been formulated.

Relevance: in world practice, organizational and managerial innovations, along with technological innovations, are an important factor in the effectiveness of organizations. The Russian theory of innovation has often missed the in-depth study of organizational and managerial innovations and at the moment there is a situation characterized by insufficient theoretical basis in this area. One of such “gaps” is the low level of elaboration of the topic of classifications of this type of innovation, but it is the classification that helps subjects implementing innovations to determine specific types of innovations, not to miss the introduction of their significant parts. In this paper, a classification of organizational and managerial innovations according to the functional scope of application is proposed and specific examples of innovations corresponding to this classification are given. The purpose of the study: to create a classification of organizational and managerial innovations by functional scope. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to analyze the classifications of innovations in Russian publications, to develop a classification of this type of innovation in accordance with international standards, to offer specific examples of innovations for each type in the proposed classification. The following research methods were used in the work: deduction, induction, analysis, synthesis. Results: in this paper, a classification of organizational and managerial innovations has been developed according to their functional application according to the edition No. 4 of the OECD Oslo Manual, namely, these innovations are divided into: new or improved methods of strategic and operational business management, methods and practices of corporate governance, accounting and financial accounting methods, human resource management methods, logistics methods, supplies and distribution of raw materials, materials, components, goods and services, business practices and external relations. Specific examples of innovations corresponding to this classification are also presented. Conclusions: the developed classification of organizational and managerial innovations is one of the theoretical bases for the development and implementation of various types of innovations in Russian organizations. Its use will allow organizations implementing organizational and managerial innovations to create a portfolio of innovations for their subsequent use.

Today, the extensive sources of economic growth in progressive countries are rather stable and do not drive GDP growth. The number of the employed and the accumulation of physical capital in these states show an insignificant change over a time horizon of up to ten years. Thus, economic growth is likely to be determined by the advancements in labor and applied equipment. At the same time, innovations act as a factor that increases the average efficiency of the economic resources used. Therefore, the stimulation of innovative activity can be one of the main sources for intensive economic growth. The study is devoted to the analysis of innovations in various regions of Russia and innovations’ impact on GRP growth. This article aims at identifying the contribution of the innovation component to the growth of the economy in the regions of the Russian Federation. The stated goal requires panel data based econometric methods. The results of the study give the conclusion that there are domestic and imported innovations. Imported innovations are determined by the dynamics in the import of scientific educational services. At the same time, the 2014–2019 economic sanctions did not affect imported scientific and technological progress. The results of the calculations show that innovation and the accumulation of human capital have become the main factors in Russia’s GDP growth since 2014. Consequently, the stimulation of innovative activity may affect the growth of both the domestic economy as a whole and its individual regions. The conducted research may be of interest to the government bodies handling the economy. Further research should be focused on the public management methods at the level of innovation for better performance.

At the turn of the two millennium, the fundamental difference in assessing the goals and means of scientific and technological progress is the consideration of architectural and planning decisions, technical and economic parameters and environmental consequences. The global nature of human impact on the habitat determines the strict requirements for choosing the parameters for the implementation of technological solutions, in particular light solutions for housing and communal services. The dynamics of electricity consumption and heat resources in Russia as a whole, including the population, was considered. The reasons for the loss of energy resources from the positions of various authors, including theft, illegal tie-ins, damage in distribution networks, insufficient level of advertising of technical and organizational and managerial innovations, are summarized. Systematized lighting solutions patented over the past 5 years in Russia, including building blocks with suspensions, hybrid lamps, heat flux sensors, luminous building parts. It was revealed that many innovative developments are based on LED solutions. The level of normative natural and cost expenditures of resources for collections of state elementary norms and federal unit rates for the construction of walls and partitions made of glass blocks was analyzed. The use of LED lighting for housing and communal services is justified. It was concluded that the power consumption when using LED lamps is several times lower than incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps.

Societies worldwide have faced different economic, environmental and social challenges in recent decades, including increasing population and consumption, shortages of natural resources, pollution and climate change. Agriculture is one of the most affected sectors. Considering its vital role as a provider of life-sustaining products and services, as well as business opportunities and employment for millions of people, we are responsible for finding solutions for its long-term development. For thousands of years, agriculture has grown in line with human civilization’s growth. During its evolution, though, many negative externalities have become evident. Some resources disappeared; others were severely damaged or exhausted, threatening the food security of many countries or the whole world. The signals nature has sent us for years have become more and more serious. It is about time to change our philosophy of life and our social and economic models. It is time to focus on knowledge, science and innovations, good practices and experience, and new technologies. The main objective of this paper is to summarize and present some of the most influential concepts of economic growth, analyze its dependence on innovations, and present the potential of new technologies to contribute to the social and economic development of agriculture. Some of the analysis is focused on the theory of economic growth and the ways it can provide sustainable development. The factors influencing the continuing economic growth of agriculture are evaluated, and a methodology for assessing technological efficiency is also presented.

Abstract Within the next few years, Europe’s economic paradigm will change fundamentally. Its manufacturing base will continue to shrink, and therefore future growth and social welfare will rely increasingly on knowledge-intensive industries and services, and ever more jobs will require a higher education qualification. Human resources are a core determinant of quality in higher education and research. Universities must therefore work to enhance their human potential, both qualitatively and quantitatively, by attracting, developing and keeping talent in teaching/research careers. Excellence may only emerge from a favourable professional environment based in particular on open, transparent and competitive procedures. Research and development (R&D) has proven to be a crucial factor in shifting the world’s technological frontiers, while at the same time facilitating new technological and scientific innovations. This paper will focus on R&D at the Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies and Innovation at the Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic. After a description of a literary search in the introduction, the specific real situation at this institute is mentioned, i.e. the number of submitted and solved national and international projects, statistics on research and development sources, and of course human resources at the institute. In the conclusion, the reader will be able to get a picture of how to increase the institute competitiveness in international collaboration.

This article discusses the widespread use by countries of environmental innovations and new technologies, which will soon bring serious economic and social changes to the life of all mankind. The need for radical changes in methods and means of environmental protection, which reduce the technological impact on the biosphere of the earth, and contributing to the preservation of human health, is shown. Under the conditions of technoglobalism, the development of environmental innovations brings serious economic and social changes to the life of all mankind, the transition of national economies to a system of qualitatively safe energy and environmental development. This is due to the fact that the planning and implementation of the material progress of society often does not take into account the ecological foundations of the coexistence of society and the environment. The modern concept of quality of life covers all aspects of the interaction between man and the environment, and ecology is becoming a priority for the development of innovative economies in developed countries. In this context, Kazakhstan intends to continue to work to stimulate and encourage innovation and investment in the environmentally friendly production of goods and services, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and apply climate-resilient technologies.

More efficient livestock production systems are necessary, considering that only 41% of global meat demand will be met by 2050. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has clearly illustrated the necessity of building sustainable and stable agri-food systems. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) offers the continuous capacity of agriculture to contribute to overall human and animal welfare by providing sufficient goods and services through the application of technical innovations like digitalization. However, adopting new technologies is a challenging issue for farmers, extension services, agri-business and policymakers. We present a review of operational concepts and technological solutions in the pig and poultry sectors, as reflected in 41 and 16 European projects from the last decade, respectively. The European trend of increasing broiler-meat production, which is soon to outpace pork, stresses the need for more outstanding research efforts in the poultry industry. We further present a review of farmers’ attitudes and obstacles to the acceptance of technological solutions in the pig and poultry sectors using examples and lessons learned from recent European projects. Despite the low resonance at the research level, the investigation of farmers’ attitudes and concerns regarding the acceptance of technological solutions in the livestock sector should be incorporated into any technological development.

This research aims to develop a marketing strategy for the Society 5.0 era by increasing tourist satisfaction in the lodging industry's business sector. Utilizing a quantitative approach with online data distribution, the sample in this study is 128 respondents. The PLS-SEM data analysis technique was used to analyze the questionnaire data. The study's results indicate that technological innovation services and tourist engagement influenced tourist satisfaction. In contrast, human innovation services, which have no direct impact on tourist satisfaction, must first be filtered through the variable measuring tourist engagement. The engagement of tourists is a moderating variable that influences tourist satisfaction. As technological and human innovation services directly experienced by tourists, they will affect tourist satisfaction. This research allows business actors in the lodging establishment industry to develop marketing strategies that increase tourist satisfaction, thereby increasing tourist trust and repeated visits in the future.

In the author's article, the historical prerequisites and modern challenges of the institutional development of the knowledge-based economy, which appeared before Ukraine due to military actions on its territory, are highlighted.It is assumed that innovations provoke positive structural changes in the economy and society, affect the productivity of the economy, contribute to its competitiveness in the global environment and ensure sustainable rates of regional development in the future. The author notes that for many years there has been no effective innovation strategy in Ukraine that would be recognized and satisfy all categories of modern innovators and expert communities, and today, the war has every chance to finally destroy the remaining remnants of science and innovation. But he emphasizes that the reasons are important prerequisites for the wide implementation of innovations in modern society. Indicates that thanks to the analysis of opportunities for improving not only the technological processes of the production of goods and services, and the institutional structure of society, one can hope for the improvement of the system, state administration, modernization of productive forces, regional development and the legal field for all aspects of human life and civil society, which is our scientific search.The article notes that a distinctive feature of the new phase of technological development of mankind is increased attention to knowledge, as the latter increasingly manifests itself in the formof a direct productive force.The article states that in the conditions of the transition to the knowledge economy, a new generation of teachers should be trained, who should first of all master new technologies in the conditions of mass informatization of society.

Abstract Environmental horticulture production (EHP) generates and employs approximately one-third of all specialty crop revenue and workforce, respectively. In recent years, however, EHP received only 12% of federal funds earmarked for specialty crops research from the USDA-Agricultural Research Service or the USDA-Specialty Crops Research Initiative. To increase leverage and accumulate more resources for EHP, stakeholder-driven consensus of research priorities needed to be constructed. Therefore, the Horticultural Research Institute led a professionally facilitated stakeholder roundtable discussion to achieve these priorities. Stakeholders identified trends and forces affecting EHP, its current state, a vision, and outcomes needed for success. Through consensus, four equal research priorities were constructed: 1) quantitate and validate the ecosystem services and benefits of plants on human health and wellness, 2) develop innovations in biological, mechanical, and technological systems that provide efficient, productive, and profitable solutions relevant to producer size and segment, 3) evaluate consumer-driven preferences that optimize industry-wide profitability and growth, and 4) solve ongoing and emergent industry challenges. These priorities and the successful future of EHP will be made possible by strong leaders and advocates positioned throughout industry, successfully communicating the human health, social, and economic benefits of plants, state-of-the-art technological and efficiently-designed systems, and an understanding of current and future consumers. Index words: forces, greenhouse, innovation, nursery, roadmap, stakeholders, trends, vision.

The increase in the number of enterprises in the hospitality industry puts the issue of increasing competitiveness on the agenda. Digitalization makes it possible to solve the problem of increasing competitiveness comprehensively. However, in the literature, this issue is considered either from the point of view of competitiveness or only the technologies used are considered. The analysis of the literature allowed us to assert that the applied innovations in the hotel business are represented by consumer trends, virtual/augmented reality, smart technologies. The article shows the ways of using a variety of technological innovations to increase competitiveness. The use of various technological innovations allows you to organize a “check-in” service, provide information about the hotel, and perform the functions of a “guest relationship”. In addition, to stimulate the volume of sales of services, manage the revenues of the hotel company and reduce the cost of resource consumption, change the models of human resource management. Along with this, there is an opportunity to offer a variety of novelties that are not presented in other hotels, which increases the attractiveness of the enterprise for the consumer. The use of digital technologies is a costly event. Depending on the tasks and financial capabilities, each company can choose its own option. The difficulties of implementing digital technologies at Russian hotel enterprises are due to economic factors.

Chatbot technology is one of the tools to improve service. In chatbots, communicationis no longer between humans and humans, but between humans and machines or robots,despite it still use human language. In Indonesia, the literature on chatbots is morefocused on the technological aspect, while the communication aspect is still inadequate.This research is a diffusion of innovations study to explain the dissemination ofchatbots’ adoption in Indonesia. Data through interviews with five sources withdifferent backgrounds. Researchers target government agencies as users of chatbotapplications to serve the public, also micro businesses that use automation, and a chatbotprovider as an active party in communicating chatbot technology. Researchers alsoexplore the experiences gained by end-user chatbots. The findings show that the mainreasons for adopting chatbots in Indonesia are the swiftness of service, the efficiencyof human resources, and the unlimited working hours. This leads to chatbots easingthe information process, both customer services, and public relations. The mass mediacommunication channel is used to introduce chatbot services to the public. While theinterpersonal communication channel is used to transfer knowledge from the developerto the administrator.

Purpose Services comprise of socio-technical (human and technological) factors which exchange various resources and competencies. Service networks are used to transfer resources and competencies, yet they remain an underexplored and “invisible” infrastructure. Considering the growth in technological investment in recent years, this research sets out to model the impact of IT-enabled innovation on a service network. In response to the growing importance placed on understanding these complexities, the field of “service science” has emerged to guide the effective design, implementation, and management of service systems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of introducing an IT-enabled innovation in a public service network. Design/methodology/approach This is achieved through a case study of an Exam Administration Service Department (EASD) where an electronic grading system was introduced to improve the EASD grading process. Data are analysed using both actor-network theory (ANT) as a theoretical lens and social network analysis (SNA) for empirical purposes to visualise the impact of IT-enabled innovation on a service environment. Findings The research described in this paper makes a useful contribution to the service science and IT innovation community both in terms of its topic (public service networks) and in terms of its theoretical framework and application methods (ANT and SNA). Originality/value This paper demonstrates how we can investigate the impact of IT-enabled innovation within a service network. Most notably, the application of SNA enables us to visualise the impact of technology and gain insights on the socio-technical dynamics associated with introducing service innovations.

Visual data proliferation with technological innovations is progressively moving forward, bringing automation, digitization, and smartness to various aspects of daily lives. These visual data-dependent technologies need to be assessed during their development to ensure the quality of services. Consequently, when appropriate quality assessment metrics are unavailable, the advancement of image processing technologies is hindered. This preliminary work addresses the disparity between the rapid advancement of image processing-based algorithms and the lag in developing image quality assessment (IQA) methods while briefly discussing future prospects. The shortcomings in IQA development are discussed by broadly categorizing application areas into human visual system (HVS)-based and computer vision-based, while highlighting the trends and necessity of developing application-specific IQA methods. Despite the existence of several emerging IQAs, this preliminary communication indicates significant opportunities for objective IQA developments in both application areas to support technological advancements. Hence, this work can serve academic and industrial communities by providing guidance for expediting IQA developments.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on the evolving field of hybrid services within the customer service domain. The distinguishing characteristic of hybrid services is its rapid advancements and intersection of technology innovations mixed with customer service approaches. Design/methodology/approach Extensive research and analysis has identified numerous models to measure service quality and most of these models are derived from the SERVQUAL. Since SERVQUAL is not clearly focused to analyze the customer’s experience, the authors have used mixed methods of data collection. The two sources of data are both primary and secondary data. Primary source of research is semi-structured feedback with key operations manager and front line employees involved in the business process outsourcing industry. Secondary source of data is based on case studies of organizations engaged in information technology and ecommerce. Findings In this study, the author suggests multivariate hybrid pathways to streamline and deliver exceptional customer experience, which enhances the customer retention and firm’s competitive advantage. This study emphasizes on the imminent growth of hybrid services within the customer service domain. The distinguishing characteristic of hybrid services is its rapid advancements and intersection of technology innovations mixed with customer service approaches. The customers’ interactions with a firm are gaining proportional complexity due to the intercourse of human and technology interactions. Originality/value This study integrates the diverging but distinct pathways that influence customer experience. The study is centralized on the theme that there is a progressive dependence of human interactions with technological developments.

The article discusses issues related to the peculiarities of human capital development at the present stage of development of the federal districts of the Russian Federation. Each indicator contains various indicators that should reflect the specifics of the economic development of each region from the qualitative and quantitative side. The authors have developed an algorithm that allows you to distribute federal districts by rating Identifying weaknesses in the development of human capital in individual federal districts allows us to develop a set of measures aimed at creating conditions for ensuring a stable improvement in the quality and standard of living based on the advantages of federal districts. Like physical capital, human capital is devalued. For example, people’s skills and knowledge may decline with age or become obsolete due to technological progress and innovation. Human capital differs from physical capital in two important aspects. First, human capital is embodied in individuals and cannot be transferred from one person to another. Secondly, human capital is not a liquid asset; in other words, people can sell economic services provided by their human capital. Research in the field of human capital development will deepen understanding of the relationship between the quality of human capital and the pace of economic growth, develop measures to improve the quality of labor resources and reduce unemployment, as well as propose measures to accelerate innovation processes and the introduction of advanced technologies in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Issues of new environmental risks and direct threats to the health and life of current living people with the advent of the post-industrial period of the fourth technological revolution and new forms of communication without borders and customs are examined. The global and liberal economy, according to world experts, has transformed into a "zombie economics of global post-truth." Such a transformation has given rise to a whole range of new environmental risks and threats for those living in the process of production and use of a wide range of goods and services. The various examples that have already manifested themselves in the current life of living people show the need for the formation of a twofold concept of sustainable development - resource-saving and biospheric - as its equivalent components. It is noted that the natural environment cannot change as quickly as the volume of innovations of the fourth technological revolution breaks into world politics and the economy. This increases the contradictions of the “zombie economics” and the global “post-truth” with the flora and fauna surrounding us, the billionth world of living organisms of the Earth’s biosphere, and expands the environmental risks and threats that are dangerous for our immediate descendants.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the essence of forming competitive advantages of enterprise due to innovative development and management of innovation potential. The factors that influence the level of competitiveness of enterprise are determined. Ensuring competitiveness involves the systematization of all factors that impact it and their further analysis in the context of a separate enterprise. The priority is the allocation of direct action factors that form competitive advantages and, accordingly, the competitiveness of the enterprise. The main principles of innovative enterprise management should be: constant forecasting of the situation in the market of capital, goods and services, planning of actions and anticipation of crisis circumstances; avoidance of technological lagging and, as a result, its prevention; systematic implementation of innovations in all, including the interrelated, spheres of activity of enterprise; continuous investment in human capital, innovations; gaining competitive advantages. It is determined that competitive advantages are the result of interaction of enterprise resources, without which enterprise cannot form its competitiveness. In the system of competitive advantages, it is important to allocate those that are the basis of the advantages of the enterprise as a whole. Ensuring sustainable competitive positions of enterprise should be implemented within the framework of the mechanism of management of its competitiveness, which is a system of instruments, methods, levers and incentives used to form and maintain competitive advantages. The instruments of such management are means to influence the economic activity of enterprise, namely: financial, economic, organizational and technological components. The author suggests the main directions of increasing the competitiveness of enterprises on the basis of innovative management and development. Novel technologies have been identified, the implementation of which will increase the competitiveness of enterprise. The main directions of strengthening the position of enterprises in the market should be cost management, ensuring the innovative and balanced development, substantiation and introduction of the latest technologies.

Full textAbstract:
During the last years, the German banking sector has faced major changes due to significant progress in the technological sector and hence an increased digitalization in many areas. Changing consumer behavior and customer needs force credit institutions to adjust to these developments in order to maintain their competitiveness. An enlarged number of new financial technology (FinTech) corporations started providing financial services comparable to the ones conventional banks offer. In this context, especially the topic of robo-advice is becoming more and more relevant. Robo-advisors can be defined as digital platforms that provide automated, algorithm-driven financial planning services with little to no human supervision. In our article, we investigate robo-advisors as part of the FinTech movement and in particular analyze the eligibility of digital investment advisory service as potential alternative to conventional asset management. We specifically emphasize the influence that FinTech companies and innovations have on the German banking sector.

Lately, third-party businesses have been offering a variety of Internet apps due to innovations in digital technologies. One technological innovation whose use has gained importance is the Internet of Things (IoT) which touches on several facets of everyday living. Due to its ability to track and surveillance human behavior through smart devices. As a result, this technology has data from gathering smart devices data on people and their preferences. Accordingly, it has become easy to predict people's needs and tendencies and recommend them. Herein, we are leveraging IoT applications in the recommender system (RS). Wherein, one of the key components of efficient IoT-based smart commerce systems is locating products and services that consumers would find interesting and persuading them to purchase them. Hence, harnessing effective IoT application-based RS is a crucial matter. This matter is a catalyst for constructing a robust intelligent decision-support model for selecting optimal RS-IoT for serving human needs. We are leveraging multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques such as MEthod based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) Method to determine the weights of criteria utilized in Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) to evaluate and rank a set of RSs-IoT. These alternatives have been evaluated by using triangular fuzzy number (TFN) with its scale.
