In the present study we established for the "Nonconventional Technologies" research field, the composition of a keyword vector (terms specific to the analyzed field) = {advanced materials, electrical-discharge machining, hybrid machining, electrochemical machining, micro EDM, micro-ECM, hybrid ultrasonic machining} to carry out a research based on two main directions/components. The first component consists in the process of identifying the works that address the specific terms in the composition of the above vector in Web of Science. The second component is the analysis of the interest of Google users, in searches based on the keyword vector. The emergence, development and diversification of the technologies that make up the keyword vector in this paper is mainly due to their use in the processes of advanced materials machining. The importance, and the key role played by advanced materials and technologies is emphasized by utmost personalities from the academic, research and industry fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The unconventional technologies appeared as a result of the unconventional development of the digital economy. The role of the “unconventional technologies” within the knowledge - based economy (more or less conventional) includes, among the specialists, the existence of the unconventional thinking. The main results of this thinking way are to be found in important scientific papers, such as the ones from the Web of Science data bases. The present paper includes an analysis of the scientific papers existed in the Web of Science data bases and its topic is “unconventional technologies”. The case study is focused on two periods of time: 1975-2019 and 2015-2019, as part of the economy based on knowledge. The analysis of Web of Science data was accomplished by grouping the data both regarding the topic and the countries/regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regardless of the type and size of the organization in which we operate, it is essential for us to know what solutions to choose in order to use them knowingly and capitalise their potential to the full capacity. Joint reporting, collecting and organizing large data volumes (Big Data) in order to automate and streamline the decision-making are possible by means of Business Intelligence (BI) systems. The use of BI enables the construction and implementation of complementary strategies, whose implicitly result is competitive advantages. This concept was applied in nonconventional technologies, namely electrical discharge machining. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
