Technology assessment in the Indian footwear sector

Article Abstract:

A research study evaluated the effects of organizational changes on productivity, wage structure, employment and policy making in India. India's footwear industry could accelerate technological change owing to the government's policies and liberalization programs. However, the effects of technological advancements on the country's socioeconomic conditions could deviate according to sector or region. Rather than India's industrial structure, factors such as market conditions, skills and raw materials will influence the socioeconomic impact of technology.

Toward a science of meaning

Article Abstract:

Interaction and self-organization are the two underlying principles of a new, Postmodern scientific model of nature. Quantum physics showed that science, which altered nature by the mere study of it, was constrained. Modern science had created a void by deviating from its original purpose of improving the understanding of nature. However, interaction and self-organization fill this void by providing reasons behind nature's evolution into an embodiment of complexity.

Introducing technologically advanced products: strategies in the commercial aircraft industry

Article Abstract:

The decision to use new modern commercial aircraft requires the development of certain strategies based on a firm's business perspective, historical decision-making experiences and risk tolerance. Market competitors McDonnell Douglas Corp and Boeing Co both encountered decision-making crossroads in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Risk and opportunity assessment were considered, but experiences in the past played an important role in both companies' decisions.
